    Ok Ok I'm Blogging

    Hi dear space friends, I'm such a slacker these days, I love visiting all of you but me well lets just say I'm lazy and leave it at that. LOL
     
    Where to start, I guess I should update you on my fall while repairing the pond.  I still have this knot on my front shin bone below the knee and the cut is slowly closing up!! Still hurts especially since I bump into everything with it!! Have you ever notice when you have a sore spot thats the one place you hit first? Ouch, Ouch. As you recall I hurt it repairing my pond, (that pond is going to be the death of me) well, yesterday my buddy and I finished it, well with the rocks anyway, it looks so good, I still need to add some gravel to the outer edge and then I will post pictures for you.  She and I worked another 3 hours on it yesterday.  I was going to get the gravel today but it is raining so I will wait for a prettier day.  I will share a picture of the beginning repairs so you can see what we were dealing with. !!! Since Miss Cindy is the creative one I let her do the digging!. She does it so well.  Can't you just see her saying why is your butt up there and I'm down in this mud??  Anyway I was grateful for her help.  It was a big job.
     
    Last week hubby and I went to our camp and winterized it.  Yup twice this year we went to it and it's a shame we don't use it more, we love it but this summer was just so busy.  The last time we were there was in April when we opened it up and then last week to close it.  The river was up from the rains from Ida but not close to the camp.  We had a great day we took the dogs and made a day of it.  Yes Hub got sick again. he did better , he did wait until we got out of the county so he's making it a little further each time.  I also remembered to take throw up cleaning supplies with me.  After we got the cabin winterized we stopped and had a good old WV hotdog on the New River and watched it flow by.  All in all a great day.  Here is a picture of the water rolling off the hill across the road from our cabin , not very often you get to see this as it has been so dry.
     
    This is a picture of the Greenbrier with the water being muddy and high from the rains of Ida  Looks so drab in the winter with all the leaves gone, but so pretty in the summer as shown here:
     
     
     
    My sister came for a visit and we had a wonderful time, she went bowling with me and was my biggest fan, everybody there that night knew when I got a strike!!Sisters you got to love them and since I only have one I love her to death.   Sorry I didn't get any pictures this visit, just too busy talking and catching up.
     
    Hayden will be two on Saturday, got a party in the works for him.  I can't believe he will be two, where has the time gone.  He is starting to say a few words, not a lot but he is starting to talk.  He understands every thing you say to him but he's a quiet little guy most of the time.  He also has learned his colors, I think I was 10 before I knew colors. LOL  . This is my most recent photo of him.  He was Elmo for Halloween.
     
    Here is a shot of my faithful companions always keeping me busy.
     
    Well, theres more but I don't want to bore you, its just family stuff but in case I don't get back on here before Thanksgiving, Please all of you have a blessed Thanksgiving.
     
    Hugs to you all

    HI Patsy. Don't feel bad, I've been a slacker too. The pond will be beautiful when it's finished and worth all the work that went into it. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. I love the little waterfall.
    Well I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm sure looking forward to all the good eats.
    Take care now ya hear.
    Hugs

    You and your family including the fur family have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving sweet friend.
    Glad to have the update regarding your poor leg. Boy you are sure right. We always knock the sore elbow, knee, foot, you name it, over and over. It's like a tuner got put into the affected place and it tunes right into the nearest thing it can bang in to.
    Hayden is just the most darling little boy ever. I mean it. I'd love to hug him.
    (((HUGS))) girl..have a great evening.

    What a lovely life you appear to have PAtsy, summer holiday home, lovely grandkids, and you're such a looker, I'm green with envy.
    Loved the pics, though very pretty in summer, so atmospheric in the winter, oh how I'd love to visit the states, but they are so huge, us poor Brits are spoiled for choice, oh well, maybe one day you'll get a knock on the door, when the Lottery smiles on me.LOL,
    You take care of that cut, it shouldn't really be healing over if there's suspicion that there's something in it.
    You got the right idea gal, get the plebs doing the hard work and you supervise. LOL

    Thanks for the nice visit Pat, it's always nice hearing from friends. I've been a little slack about posting too, it's been busy here on the ranch. We've had hunters coming in to hunt since Oct., hubby is taking our daughter out hunting next weekend, then he will be finished for awhile I think! Your pond project looks like a BIG one. I've always thought I'd like a small pond in my yard, who knows one of these summers I may take on the project. lol. Hayden is getting so big, I hope he has a happy birthday. Hunter will be celebrating his first this January, he is crawling all over the place, and starting to pull himself up to the furniture. I will have to post some pics.
    Have a great week and thanks for the post.........hugs...Sunee
