SPRING TIME IN THE COUNTRY

I HAVE NO CLUE WHY THESE DOVES WERE ON OUR DECK BUT OUR CAT ENJOYED WATCHING THEM

NEIGHBORS CLEANING OUT THEIR FIELD ACROSS THE STREET
SOME OF THE BUSHES WE ARE PLANTING FOR EARTH DAY. WE WILL HAVE PLANTED 9 BUSHES AND I RED MAPLE TREE. A COUPLE OF THE BUSHES SMELL SOOOOOOOO GOOD

DOGS BEST FRIEND

this is diana's cat. his name is either Come Here or it is Go Away, not sure which one it is but this cat loves their dog Truman. it sleeps with the dog all the time.i went over in the pouring rain to feed the animals and of course the cat was in with the dog

this is a weird limb in our back yard. i guess it cant make up its mind if it wants to grow down or up

AWESOME BOOKS

THESE BOOKS ARE SO GOOD..YOU NEED TO READ HER MOTHERS HOPE FIRST.I WAS UP AT 1 AM THIS MORNING READING THE BOOK..I JUST HAD TO SEE HOW IT ENDED..I GOT SO WRAPPED UP IN THESE THAT I TOTALLY WANTED TO LEAP INTO THESE BOOKS AND KICK SOME BUTT..THEY ARE ABOUT 500 PAGES..I READ THIS LAST ONE IN 2 DAYS..

MARKIE'S BIRTHDAY

You know that you have been married a long time when you get your husband new tidey-whities for his birthday. Just saying.

HIDE AND SEEK

we made these hide and seek bird seed bottles a few years ago in missionettes and i think i am going to do it again since all the girls except mady are new. you take items and mix them with the bird seed. these are not cheap to buy in the store and they dont have nearly as many items as i put in. i have almost 40 in this bottle. i kept it in the bathroom for along time. i am sure you know why i chose that room..lol. i make a list and tie it on the bottle. earth day is next month and i like to do alot of nature projects. trust me it isnt easy to find some of these items and you can only sit so long in the bathroom...lol

BUCKET LIST

having a PVR and EMG testing done is certainly not on my bucket list..if your desire is to have someone put blood pressure cuffs on your legs and inflate them so that your legs feel like they are going to fall off, then a PVR should be on your to do list..if you want something a little more exciting and painful then app for a EMG..that will really electrify you..this envolves needles and shock treatment.. they say try and keep your leg flat while i shock the back of it..hey, no problem...the good news is all is good..praise the Lord

ITS THAT TIME OF THE YEAR

it is not a fun time at the coburn's when dogs are in heat..maybe i should rephrase that..last night Harley was doing whatever male dogs do because of the females and he sounded like he was in pain..i must be desperate to blog something if i am blogging about this..lol. today when i let them out for awhile, i had a dog fight going on between Harlely and Roxy..i dont know how long this is suppose to last but that cant come soon enough for me..on lighter note, my eggs are boiling, got to check on them..ok now that comment even sounds scarey...

DESPERATE FOR READING MATERIAL

went to aleesha's meet this morning and had a two hour wait until they started. what am i going to do for two hours..not many choices in a gym. mady had brought some books and i thought why not..this book was so good. it was a paper back so it didnt take to long to read. a little over an hour..it is a great book for any child to read.aleesha did great. very proud of her

NOTE TO SELF

this is why you dont get on the computer while running bath water..excuse me while i go grab my goggles and snorkle.

Redeeming Love

ok, did you just follow me from facebook? i think i saw a couple of you behind me...i am reading this awesome book..Redeeming LOve...it is by Francine Rivers...when i first started reading it, i thought,"this is a christian novel?"...but i have a terrible time putting it down..wait a minute, my eggs are boiling. i am back,,that actually sounded kind of gross..ok, back to the book..it has about 500 pages and i started reading it mon. and am almost done..until we meet again..

PRODIGAL BLOGGER

holy blogger Batman! it has been almost a year since i have blogged..this cracks me up..do you really want me to update you on all that has been happening in my life for the past year...NOT!!!! i am a grandma again...Claira Rose Galloway...will come into this world the end of July..actually she is already in this world just hasnt made her appearance yet...getting old comes with many visits to different doctors so when older people tell you about all the things going wrong with them and having to go to the doctors every week or month, dont roll your eyes, because trust me , been there , done that, and so will you...parts wear out people. no getting around it...lol..going to aleesha's meet tom..an all day event, at least it was last year..i love my family..with that note, i will sign off for another year....only kidding...
