Ramblings, Sentiments, Rantings and Musings

My photo
I am a mother of 5 wonderful children and wife to one amazing Navy man. I am always changing things in my life, constantly learning something new and trying it out. I am a wannabe vegan, minimalist and currently living full time in an RV. Just for clarification, I say wannabe, because I know I am not perfect, but each day I strive to do the best I can. That's all I can expect from anyone no matter where they are in life. I learn something new everyday...mostly about myself and my little corner of reality. Life, to me, is loving, learning and making memories. These are better than all the tangible riches one can get their hands on! Besides, there will come a day when all I have left is my love and memories...so I'll stockpile as much of those as I can!
Horses, four-wheelers, and birthdays!!!




I haven't really been able to write as much as I would like here lately. (I know that I have said that before, and I really do mean it) In the last few weeks we have been busy as usual. We have managed though to get Jud on one of the horses, Jack. I wasn't sure we would ever see that city-boy ride. I couldn't put the video on here because it is too long. But the pictures were great. I think he secretly enjoyed it more than he let on ;-)

My sweet rambunctious Franki turned 9 years old just recently. Wow! You know she is my fourth child to be 9 and you would think that I would be used to these old sentimental feelings that seem to encompass me on and around the birthdays of my children. Do all mothers feel this way. Does everyone choke up singing Happy Birtday! Does everyone else pull that child aside and tell them how proud they are of that child while tears slide down their cheeks knowing that it is just one more year toward their bieng a grown up? Will I ever get past being this emotional. I don't imagine I'll get over it before Zachary's 14th birday which is no longer creeping up on me but, rather chasing me down faster than I can run! Oh, I love my kiddos and I am such a "sap"!

We got a couple of four-wheelers recently. The kids have had so much fun as have the adults. We can't stress safety and caution enough, but I have to say that I don't think my children are afraid of anything. It is good that I worry enough for all of us. They have found our 2nd pasture a fine place to ride and there are lots of other places around here.

We have enjoyed our time here so much so far. I think we might even like it more than we did when we lived in Maine. Geez, is that possible. I do think that we will be very sad to leave our home when it time to go from here. Guess we will just live it up while we can. I wish that I though to take more pics during the day, but we are just so busy living that I forget. I will try to get better about that. Anyway, that is it for now. Hope that the pictures made you smile. Have a wonderful day!

Famous Quotes



"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience." -- Anne Sullivan
