Happy Birthday Sweet Hubby

 The 7th was my sweet hubby's birthday. 

This was my tribute post of Facebook:

On this day 49 years ago, a very special person was born. All of his family knew he was very unique and and one of a kind.  

I am so glad God saw fit to bring him into my life. I can be the first to tell you he is my angel sent to me from Heaven. He was born just for me I think. We could have met 6 yrs before we actually did but it was not Gods timing yet. When we finally did meet, we have never looked back.

I can personally tell you this man has so many qualities about him that make him so unique an special just like his family said he was, just because I have experienced every single one. 

He has a heart, mind, passion,  dedication and loyalty for family. 

Some of these things were not taught to him by example, it's like he was born with instincts that you cant teach someone. Nanny says she does not know where he learned some of these qualities,  he was just born with them. If you truly know him, you know exactly what I'm talking about and know I'm not making this stuff up. 


He is driven by a passion of providing for his family. He is not happy if he cannot take care of his family financially. That's why he made a vow to better himself and work his way up to where he is today. He has always provided for our needs and then some. We have never wanted for anything. If I did, I never noticed because he was always a step ahead.


He is very nurturing in taking care of his family. He will take care of us when we are sick and wait on us hand and foot  and deny his own rest to make sure we are comfortable. He takes care of his momma and brothers and sisters and will do anything for them. He even takes care of my momma and daddy. 


He is very loyal in his relationships.  If you are a friend of his, you have a friend. 

He is and always has been loyal to me. His coworkers say all he talks about is his wife and family. He is always very upset when he has to go but lives for the day when the job is done so he can come home to me. The man had worked 12 hrs before and drove 18 hrs just to prove this to me. He always says some things are just not worth screwing up and loosing. I'm so glad. ❤❤ He said I can never leave because he would just pack up and follow me anyway. 😁


This man has more endurance and perseverance that I cant explain it. It's like hes our personal Superman. It's like he just swoops down and takes care of it. He does not like for me to stress or worry about anything. He just takes care of it all and how he does it, I have no clue. 


He has a rough exterior because once a Marine, always a Marine. But dont let that fool ya. I know the sensitive teddybear too. 🐻


He is very serious about making men out of our boys. He is dedicated to making sure they turn out to be fine, responsible men who can hold their own and take care of their families. He knows their gonna mess up sometimes but he sure hates to see it but hes always there. 


He loves to put smiles on little children's faces especially at Christmas time. It's what he thrives on and lives for. 


And now we get to do this all over again with the next generation through our grandchildren.  They are going to be very blessed too and loved and taken care of. That's just what he does. 


We are so blessed to have him in our lives. I am not joking when I say he is a great brother,  son, husband and father and poppie all in one big bundle. And he is ours. We want to wish a very special person a very happy birthday and we love him very much.

























Our oldest son cooked steaks for all of us and we spoiled him a little. Nothing compared to what he does for us. 

The other night I created the ultimate pizza. Double decker pizza. It was so delicious.

Good Week

It has been a good week. We've worked and played. 
I'm still getting squash, zucchini and peppers out of the garden. 
We have three corn rows left to harvest and we get some a little at a time. The tomatoes are fizzling out at the moment. I am going to try to see if I can get a second little harvest out of them. Sometimes I can, sometimes not. But I have done good this year. I am very pleased. Nothing makes me feel more secure than a full freezer and pantry. Dear hubby has helped alot. He knows when I need a rest and he takes over. 


I've been cooking some good meals too with our fresh vegetables.  
One night we had Italian meatloaf, fresh corn, squash and zucchini fritters, my homemade fermented and canned sauerkraut,  and pinto beans. 

Tonight I did the ultimate. I made a double decker pizza. Yummy. πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•



IT'S JUST THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY.  I told my momma years ago, about 15, to NEVER EVER get rid of this little house. She got it at a yard sale and it was Dakota and Dallas play fort for cowboys and Indians. She held onto it. Now it's ours. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🏚🏚🏚🏚🏚🏚🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠
Got handsome man to put me some pallets together and make them safe. 
This has been a year long project. Took apart, pressure washed, painted, put back together and fixed up. Complete with lights and mailbox. 
 I'm so proud,  my eyes are misty.

We've got to play some too.

Sunday Reflection

While all the world seems to be falling down around us and we are wondering what in the world is wrong with people, I just have to sit back and recompose myself and just pray and think. 
Today is a day of relaxing, rejuvenating  and reflecting.
