Neglect!

Yes!! I charge myself with neglect! There is so much going on in blogdom and I've been so busy that I have neglected my blog addiction!


I am actually looking forward to the winter storm that is supposed to blow in. I know . . . someone take my temperature!

But . . . I'm thinking about the time that I'm gonna have to sit with my laptop, in front of the fireplace and catch up with all of you!!

That makes this winter storm a little welcome!

What is happening?

I'm not sure . . . .I have a girl at my house who is now taller then me, a boy who is almost as tall as me . . . . and two more boys that are growing out of their pants way too fast!

What is happening? Global kidwarming? Kid mutation? Extra-torestrial involvement? Or is it . . .




time passing too quickly!

Update on Rohn Eckerman

Sheri posted today, Rohn is doing better this morning. The neckbrace got to come off last night and his neck is fine, just sore right now. The extra x ray of his hip is clear. He sat up this morning for the first time and is really sore all over. He has a severe concussion and will take a few days or weeks to shake that, they said it varies person to person with concussions. They said that he needs to get up and get moving without passing out or getting to dizzy to walk, etc. Hopefully this afternoon. Thank you for your prayers and love.

He asked Sheri what happened then he said with a smile, "I guess I didn't get any points today."

Thank you dear friends for your prayers. I am a friend magnet. I want to know everyone and visit with everyone when I go to these competitions. However, not all ladies are open. Sheri, on the other hand, looks you square in the face when she's talking to you and genuinely wants to know you. She has been a blessing to me. Thank you for keeping her precious husband in your prayers!

Please Pray

Hello Friends - It's been an interesting day.

Took Bailey to a Central 4D barrel race in Derby. It is not uncommon for men to run barrels and Ron Eckerman has started. His wife, Cheri, is a pretty talented horse woman and she has him riding a real seasoned horse.

As he was coming in to the arena, not sure what actually happened but the horse reared significantly, Ron came off, and then the horse lost his footing and came down on Ron.

Update from the hospital was no broken bones, no swelling or bleeding in the brain. Large gash on the head that required numerous staples and extreme pain that the Dr.'s are still trying to determine the cause.

It was a traumatic experience for all of us as he was unconscious for quite a bit of time and then finally started coming around.

Please keep the Eckerman's in your prayers.

Keeping It Real

We are putting wood laminate flooring through my living room, kitchen and family room. So, I began to get the family room ready by pulling up the carpet.

Okay, folks . . . you can vaccum until the cows come home but there is still stuff under that carpet! I was amazed what I found! Zoom in on this baby!



NO! I didn't bring a bucket load of sandy dirt in to make it more dramatic! That is exactly what was under my carpet! It is not 40 year old shag either! Your basic, middle '90's hunter green carpet.

Thankfully, now it's gone. Pictures of my wonderful floor to come as soon as we get the rest put in. May take a month or so but I'll post 'em when we're done!

Until then . . . keep on vaccuming!

Freezing Fog Advisory

What exactly is that? I asked as I checked the weather yesterday morning. I was pretty put out . . . it was supposed to be a sunny 48 degrees and all I saw was fog and what looked like frosty trees!











We looked like a winter wonderland! It was quite pretty but really ruined my plans for the day!

Finally, around 3:00pm the clouds started to clear and some sunshine peaked through.

Today is 51 degrees! But we have such a strong south wind, you still need stocking caps and gloves!

Can't rush spring, I guess!
