It's been another quiet week for me here. I'm looking forward to the election being over. I'm tired of all the political adds that are forever on TV. Just as long as it turns out the way I want it and know it should be, all might get better, eventually. I did see something on the news one day that if McCain is elected I think that one of the terrorist groups has something planned to welcome in another four more years of Bushism's so to speak. All I will say is that if you want to be safer vote Obama, hopefully things will start to change. The world would like to deal with someone who will listen first and can respect each other. Understanding is something so many people refuse to do any more. Jumping to conclusions is what most people do now a days. I like everyone else has had a moment when someone is convinced that what they know about you is the absolute truth when it is so far from it. When this happens to me I do my best to tell them the truth or show them how wro...

I want to say it's a quiet Sunday morning, but if that's the case I would still be in bed at5:30 right? I either want to blame it on the regular habit of getting up at 4:10am during the week or maybe it's the fact that at around 5am the husband starts sounding like a buzz saw for some reason. Maybe his body is so use to me getting up at 4am that it's just part of his bodies habit to start snoring at that time. Who knows. I'm up now what? I could talk about the debate last week which I did watch. I watched it on a station called Current TV. It's a very interesting place to view this kind of thing. They had it set up so that people could sign on through Twitter and leave comments about what was going on. I got a bigger kick out of those comments then I did actually listening to all the details the candidates were saying. The way I see it I think there were more people in favor of Obama then McCain. I will say I am an Obama supporter. It is time for the old boys c...

It's Sunday and I think this is the start of the end of our Indian Summer. Today it is suppose to get about 72 I think. The thing I hate about this time is that those stupid Asian Beetles are flying around trying to find a warm place to start hiding for the winter or to hang onto where it is warmest. Every time I open the door to let the dog in or out I always have to make sure that they don't try to sneak into the house. And when you squish them, boy do they stink.They are a huge pain in the butt. Just trying to walk around outside without one landing on you is impossible. And when you drive down the road you hit so many that by the time you get home you can hardly find a clean place to look out. Cleaning the windshield is always fun too. The dumb things are not even native to our area. They were brought here to try to control another bug. The birds won't even eat them because of the smell and taste. I say if mother nature didn't put them here herself they don't b...

These are scary times we live in. The stock market keeps taking a nose dive. I wonder how low it will get before it levels off? I wonder how much I'll have left in my 401k? It's going to take a long time before the world will feel good about itself. The whole world is a mess no matter what anyone try's to tell you. It's the kind of mess that each country is going to have to fix for themselves. Lets face it we are all too interconnected. When one country tries to mess with another it will eventually affect the whole world. It's common seance. There is no denying it. We must all learn to care for ourselves in a way that we don't harm anyone else. Respect, that's what we all have to live by. People are always saying that we are here for a reason. I believe that. But so many people feel so lost and hopeless. It's hard when so many people are trying to make you feel like you are worthless because they said so. I ask, who are they to judge? Why are they a be...

I recently came across a letter that gave me an idea for a story. To tell you the truth the letter just popped into my head. It's a kind of cool idea and I'm not sure if I should follow the idea. So I'm going to write it here and let you all tell me if it would be doable or not. First let me tell you how I think the letter will be found. There is an old house that is being torn down and people are given the chance the get things out of the house. Like molding that is still good, the amazing old staircase, the flooring, you know things like that. In the attic behind a false wall is a crawl space. And in that crawl space is an old trunk. When the old trunk is opened a letter is found on top addressed to Whom ever opens this trunk please read first. This is what the letter says. To the person who is reading this: My name is Cora Johnson. In 1948 I am the teacher in a one room school house in the township of Grover, in the state of Wisconsin. This is an introduction to what thi...

Around this time every day if I look outside there is a high chance I will see a flock of turkey's. One flock has about ten. Another one has about twelve and another one has three. My outside dog just lies there and watches them. But when Fawn see them she starts barking, whining and wanting outside. I try to get her to wait till they are out of sight before I let her out. I just keep telling her "If you don't look out the window they won't bother you." But she usually don't listen, like every other dog who gets upset when another animal has invaded their territory. Every year there seam to be more and more turkeys. They have the worst sense of birth control. The problem is there are not enough natural enemies in the wild to control them and you have to apply for a permit to shot them. I say give a few more years and maybe someone can convince the DNR or who ever decides these kind of things, that turkeys can be seen as small game like rabbit or partridge so y...
