Little by Little...Side by Side

The book is ready. "Little by Little...Side by Side" will appear on my blog next week!! I will write one chapter a week until it is completed. The names have been changed for privacy purposes.

I want to give a special thank you to my husband who helped me "remember" and who sometimes ate suppers alone and busied himself in the evenings so I could write. I also send a deep thank you to my dughter who edited all my chapters!! I can write but it stops there! Editing is not my thing!

This book is dedicated too our six dear grandchildren and all our aunts, uncles and cousins who have missed out on our early years together. I want to share it with my many friends also.

So I hope you will enjoy a book full of a young woman's feelings, hopes and dreams as she first became a young farm wife, then a mother and then a grandma. I hope you can laugh with her, cry with her, feel her excitment and her love for her husband, children, farm and nature.

There is someone else that I send out a special thank you to. That someone is to each of you my readers and friends. You will never know how much your words of encouragment and love has done for me. Well...if it hadn't been for you, this "book" would not exist. Thank you to each individual! Thank you from my heart!

A Heart Love Story

Our bodies are made so magnificent. It is beyond words how each part works together, allowing us to laugh, cry, love, feel, smell and enjoy this wonderful world of beauty. I don't know about the rest of you, but my little mind is very busy! Every minute it is thinking. It goes here and it goes there, trying to find thoughts to run through my being. I was told to set my timer for 30 seconds and see if I could stop thinking. Guess what? I couldn't!! My mind just kept on going, and going.  In my case, a lot of times these things are negative, things that make me worry. Things that look so big and ugly. Things that can scare me.  There are so many things happening around us these days. Bad things. Shootings, hurricanes, wild fires, earthquakes, wars, sad experiences that happen right in our own life.  So many bad things that could overtake my whole being. Yes, my little mind is a busy little fellow. But you know what? Deep inside of me lays another little being. I like ...

Chapter 10 Welcome Little Sister

Grandpa and Grandma's old blue pickup was all shined up, its camper was on and it sat ready in their driveway. Mark was over at Roy and Jeannie's getting the last minute milking instructions. It was late September. I felt a little alone in a way. Everyone was heading for a church convention. Mark, Bret and I were staying home to keep the home fires burning. We were staying home for a very special reason! Very special! I patted my tummy. "You know little one, you're well worth staying home for! We don't know who you are but we all three love you to pieces already!" I told my baby. Yes, Bret was three years old and we were going to have our second little baby! It was a month yet before we would see this little one, but my mother made me promise that I would stay home! There is something so comforting when a day's work it complete, and the family is all home. The lights go on, the curtains are pulled and darkness engulfs your little house. Inside I was...

Blue Skies and Sunshine

Blue skies are up above....the sun is bright on my face....happy birds are singing their song.... and my heart is happy.... Well I took the old axe out of the pick-up bed this morning and placed it back in its place there in the feed shack. Hung my old winter chore coat in the back of the closet, and put away my long johns. Sixty seven little calves run everywhere out there in the cow pasture. Their little tails straight back....running for all their worth. Over on a hill away from all the rest, a momma has just given birth to a new, wet, slick, black little fellow. It tries to get up but....whoops....down it goes. It tries again, its back legs are straight and its nose in the dirt, It wobbles and stands. Momma licks it and down it goes once more. Keep trying little guy and you'll get it. Overhead the skies are a deep blue and not a cloud in sight. The bare trees stand still, casting shadows on the ground. On their branches you can see little red bumps ...
