Rants

Now since this is my rant site, let me tell you the problems here.  I can't clean until everyone gets up at noon or later.  I get up at 6am and thats when I like to do all my stuff.  I wish they would flush the toilet, I wish Jack would pay his share of the toilet.  I wish I didn't have to live so far from town but I don't have the resources to move and can't as long as I have the pets.  My pugs and Lily are the ones that keep me going here.  I know lots of I wish, Dad told me one day that maybe I didn't belong here.  Well where do I belong? Thats the question.  I live on less than a thousand per month, rent is expensive and would not leave me much to live on.  At least here all I pay is electric (Jack don't) and part of the phone bill that gives me DSL.  I'm unhappy here but no where else to go.  I had to move to here cause that was the only place left I could go, so I have to find a way to be happy.  I have my brother but I can't spend all my time with him, and being with him makes me happy, but there is alot of loneliness down here.

At least I have an indoor bathroom which is more than my brother has.  He has to use an outhouse cause he don't have a indoor bathroom or running hot water.  I bought him an in-line water heater so when he puts that together with his water he will have hot water too.  He is working on his indoor bathroom, and will have it done this summer.

Well thats all for this ranting.  Stay tuned, more to come.

The Holiday Blah

Well, Christmas is almost here.  I should be used to having Christmas alone but I still miss my family (alive and passed on).  I have my puppies to keep me company this year, maybe it will snow and I will get to see a white christmas.  Don't get the wrong impression, I do not like the snow when I have to go out in it but for a holiday it would be nice to have.  I have already celebrated Christmas with my daughter, her husband and 3 grandkids.  We had a wonderful time, then went up and seen my Mom and brother for a bit.  

I live with my Dad and husband Jack for those of you who do not know.  Neither of these men celebrate Christmas so I am limited as to what I can do as far as decorating the house and surroundings, not that it would matter much no one would see them.  My older brother decorated a tree in his back yard.  It is seen by him when he goes to the outhouse.  He uses it for his light.  I got to put up one string of lights and one 2ft tree behind the TV cause there is no other place to set it, and the presents that have been given to us are sitting on the printer except Jacks cause he could not wait.  Dads girlfriend gave Dad a bunch of candy which he eats and don't gain an ounce for Christmas so I guess while I am enjoying my box of candy they will not have any.  We all three got a box of Chocolate covered cherries which of course Jack don't eat so I guess Dad and I will eat them.  He should be out of candy by then.

I must try to stay content and patient.  Pretty soon my vacation from here comes and I go to Beaverton OR for a week in May.  I should be glad cause Jack said he would watch the pups while I was gone.  I just have to take Lily.

Baptism Luci May 14, 2011 & Jack May 5, 2011

Alot has happened since I last got on the blog. I've been going to Church with my brother Warren Jr, watching shows he recommends, and trying to loose weight. Its very hard cause everyone down here wants to see instant results and weight loss isn't achieved and kept off using those weight loss pills. It all has to do with diet,and I am loosing about a pound per week.  I have gotten Baptized as well as my husband.  I am so proud of him.

Well, I have been down in Sunny Valley OR for over a year now.  I am not as stressed as I was when driving the bus, but one still has to walk over eggshells.  I am getting a 2nd puppy to go with my first puppy and I am afraid to tell my dad cause I don't know how he will react.  I think he is getting dementia or allzeimers, not to bad though.  Any one have any suggestions on how to approach the subject?  My husband thinks I am paying too much for the dog, but it is a Pug and its only 1/2 the price they want in the big city with papers.  He won't listen to reason that the dog will be at my brothers place not down in the house in which I live, so I don't see a problem.  I paid half for the sewer to get pumped, and am saving for the house to be reroofed this summer which I have to pay half. I feel I should be able to spend my money as I wish or save as I wish without them telling me what I can and can not do.  As soon as Dad finds out he goes into the lecture that I should adopt kids instead of pets cause they cost as much. Then follows the lecture of how I need another dog like I need a hole in my head and says things that make me feel guilty, then what ever else he has to say.

Shishka and Shasta

Here is a couple of pics of Shishka (the big one) and Shasta (the puppy) sleeping together. Shishka for the most part tolorates Shasta, but my Lab/Sharpei won't.

Shasta 11 weeks old

This is Shasta at 11 weeks of age. She still can't get on the couch yet, and the video is her chasing the bell on her collar.

Shasta says Good Morning Shishka

This is Shasta 9 weeks old trying to say good morning to Shishka. I have Shishka's door closed cause she is still getting used to Shasta.

Shasta

This is Shasta, she is now 8 weeks old and getting into everything. Here is a picture of her helping me in the trailer.

Shasta

I just got me a new puppy. She is a Pug and about 6 weeks old now. I will get to pick her up when she is 8 weeks old or on the 1st.

He's Alive, My Lord lives. This weekend is special to me. I went to Sabbath and we had a wonderful sermon and Communion. Then Sunday is Resurrection Day, The day My Lord rose from the tomb.

Museum Building for Me

Dad told me a few days ago that which ever child takes an active interest in the museum will get all rights over it after he passes. This summer Dad and Jack are going to build me a 4' x 32' building to put all my collectables up for display so all can see them. I am going to be the one to get all rights over it. I want to gravel it so that there is a place for people to walk so it can be shown winter and summer.

Happy New Year

Well its Happy New Year to all who reads these. I started my new year off with a load of washin. What happens? The washer overflows and practically floods the whole back porch. Had to get my Dad out of bed to turn the water off cause I could not turn it where it is. What a way to start the New Year off!
