I have had a busy weekend . The last couple days running with Ted and enjoying ourselves. So I guess, I will call that my vacation. I truly have not had a vacation in years. I am beyond ready . After this month maybe I can spend some time with my daughter in the northern part of the state. She loves to junk also. None of my other three daughters like junking and crafting like Kathy and I do. :)
Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable weekend. The Pork Festival tents are being set up in our town. The fest goes on from Thursday thru Saturday evening at midnight. Crafts, food, art shows, talent shows, picking Miss Pork Cuisine, and some musical groups. Fair rides for the kids and a couple for adults even. I will meet my daughter Angie on Friday . We will walk through the festival and have lunch . We have been doing this for years. I'll take my camera. :):)
Wishing you a great day. XO
I apologize for not knowing about Skylar. Life has been keeping me away form blogging. I went way back to see what happened. There only a few things that I speak out on and don't care if people don't care if they don't agree. Let's see flu shots, child abuse and ATVs. I just hate them. My cousin that died of H1N1 lost her first husband to an ATV accident. He was a responsible rider but hit a guide wire that amputated his leg. He bled to death before the squad could reach him. Now mny use those yellow tubes on them so they can be seen. Then about a year before that a best friend of mine lost he 14 year old. They had gone away on a short vacation. Her son was staying with his aunt. For some reason he decided to go for a spin even though he knew he wasn't supposed to. He was on a road that was curvy and hardly ever traveled. Well a neighbor didn't see him and hit him. He also died. So you tell your grandson and his parents to burn that thing. I am glad he had a helmet on burn that thing. Sorry to rant. Hope you are well. Sorry I have been gone. Life seems to keep piling up on me.....but....I am doing fine. xo
ReplyDeleteDebby, I hate those ATV also. I have heard of many horror stories. Right before this happened a 16 yr.old died from an accident on one of these and he had had safety training. I told my daughter get rid of all those riding things that make boys want to drive fast. Skylar will be late getting his licenses now and I am happy about that.LOL. Hand in there Debby, I know you are going thru a lot at this time. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThat foot would give me the heebie jeebies too. Poor thing. I hope he is doing better. Going to visit your daughter to go junking sounds like a lot of fun. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura. He's a tough boy and wants to be well...so that's in his favor. I need to see my daughter and have a couple of fun days with her. In the mean time I am going to the fest with my oldest daughter this Friday. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI was wondering how Skylar was doing,, still smiling,,,he is a handsome young fella,
ReplyDeleteyou had a good visit by the sounds of it,,its nice to share a passion with your girls, my one daughter likes junking but the other does not,,so I am lucky also!
Laurie, I wish my daughter that is so like me lived closer...I told her we would have our own shop for selling revamped things, and crafts. :):) Our boy is a tough one and he is ready to get back to school. I just do not want him on any of those ATV any more. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteYes, you take that much needed vacation and spend with your daughter. We haven't had a vacation in a few years. We always took an annual beach trip with the kids but now that they have kids they have their own traditions. Maybe next year. We have taken a couple of weekend off, but with the move this year we couldn't. It's home again this weekend. Will share more later. Love your butterfly photo.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, My daughters and I used to go to the State Parks during the autumn....now like you said they are grown and have their own traditions. I miss my parents and I miss my daughters being small ,more in fall. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteHi Susie,
ReplyDeleteGlad Skylar is doing so much better. Kids heal quickly so I hope he will be doing better soon.
Have a great rest of the week.
Kris
Kris, I wish I could spring back like that young man. LOL. Heck I squat down to stain the deck for an afternoon and can barely walk the next day...know what I am saying? LOL. Hope you are enjoying some last days of summer too. xoxo,Susie
DeleteSorry for Skyler.... I wasn't aware of his accident. But have lived through the horror of it. 1989 Youngest daughter was 18, Senior at her High School...on Good Friday, she and a friend were driving too fast, no seat belt and she ended up hanging on to life. 30 days in ICU, 9 mo. in the hospital...her right leg almost ripped off...almost had to have amputated at the hip.....But God saved her, and after many skin crafts, she had a deformed leg, but it's hers and she had come out of it a wonderful beautiful strong woman, now at 43 she had a little boy, who is 2 now. God is good...All the time, and then some.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Kisses.
Wanda, You are right...God is good to us. He watched over our boy during all of this. Your daughter had it much worse but thanks to God...she is with you and now a mom . Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSo happy that Skylar is healing, I know it takes time, but he looks happy! Enjoy the time at the festival and YES - definitely go spend some time with your daughter who loves junking as much as you do. You Need some 'fun' time! Blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, He was happy to see us visiting . He's a good kid just likes driving dirt bikes and that ATV way too fast. They are all broken now...so maybe my daughter can have some peace. :):) My daughter just got her first stapler for redoing furniture. LOL. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThankful to see Skylar is doing much better! Heebie Jeebies, indeed! Bless his heart though. Have fun at the festival, love them and oh, junking, the best ever!

I hope Skylar heals quickly, what a scary accident. I'm not at all fond of those things they love to ride, too many accidents and tragedies have occurred. My son's old friend from H.S. died from his injuries when riding at night and went into a ravine. He was so smart and was going to med. school and had a promising future. Motorcycles are another one I don't like. My daughter rides once in a while with her boyfriend. Thankfully, he's very careful and they only ride in the daytime. I'll be quiet now. :)
ReplyDeleteThe festival sounds fun, enjoy!
Thank you Cheryl. I told my daughter to get rid of all those riding things...since Skylar will be driving a car soon...well maybe...he was to get his licenses but this accident will put him behind on his required driving hours...that doesn't make me sad at this time. :) I used to ride motorcycles with my husband ...but that was many years ago...when there was much less traffic and no cell phones. Seems scarier now. Blessings , xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie,
ReplyDeleteI have been busy looking up butterflies lately, so I really should know the name of your butterfly but I can't remember it! LOL! Look out for a butterfly post from me soon!
The photo of Skylar's foot, oh poor guy. Hope he heals up soon, he is young, so he will, you know it! xxx
Kay, Around here there are these yellow and white butterflies and I think they are local with our crops. LOL. I do not know they are very common here though. I think Skylar will do well once he heals and can do PT....he will need to do as the drs say or he could limp . Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI've been aiming to ask you about Skylar. I hope his healing is coming along good. You have a beautiful family Susie. It's always so good to spend time together. I love to go junking as well. Wish we lived more closer. Hugs, xo
ReplyDeleteThank you Susie, our skylar is doing better than I dreamed he would this early. I know he is anxious to attend school. His teachers will be spending 4 hours a week with him on his home work...to keep him up on his studies. So thankful for that. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSo glad Skylar is doing well. So scary! Glad you had a fun weekend.
ReplyDeleteJudy
Judy, When that first happened to Skylar it was hard to see. He's a tough kid and is doing his best right now. I hope he's as good about his PT once it starts. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThere has to be some fun in life. You grab those moments when they happen and cherish them.
ReplyDeleteI would be afraid to go junking because I know I would quickly be addicted. It happened to with comic books and then models of vintage cars. All of which are now packed away in a closet. Oh I forgot about guitars.
I'm glad Skylar is on the mend. He seems to have a good attitude.
Boston Boy, You better believe I think of all the things I have wanted to do all my life and now at my age, I know lots will never happen...like surfing or sky diving. So I still have desires to see and do things before I am too broke down. LOL. Yes, Skylar is doing much better. I expect him to do as the drs. say. Blessings to you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThe yellow and burgundy is beautiful together! Wishing Skyler a speedy recovery. The festival sounds fun.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
This picture of the yellow butterfly and flower is beautiful, Susie. You know, I've never got a good pic of the butterfly because they fly away too quickly. Poor Skylar. I do hope he heals soon. He looks like such a trooper.
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
If you are serious about coming for a visit, better act fast. My weekends are filling up. lol
ReplyDeleteI found a "festival" to go to at the end of the month. It is called the Painted Farmgirl Flea. come on up and join me.
Kathy, I want to come this festival...even if I have to wait till next year. LOL. I would love to go to that art fair again at the lake. Plus I miss going to the place near Amish acres. Love you sweetheart, mommy
DeleteYou and Ted certainly DO need a vacaction!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you get to go see your Kathy!!!
SO thankful Shylar is making a good recovery!
Linda, I may have to buy a small camper and that big extension cord , I mentioned. LOL. xoxo,Susie
