friends who care

Grandma Linda wrote:You ladies amaze me! I am honored to be your friend, truly! I am inspired by some of the things you do! Kaci, my hat's off to ya! Daley, you and Dy amaze me with your animals, Deanna, you are like the energizer bunny - doing for others as you do! Mish, I am in awe of you being such a devoted mother and wife! Ali, you are so good for Michelle and Dave! I pray abundant blessings upon all of you!

Guys, you are pretty amazing, too! Dave, you are such a wonderful, loving father and a hard working man! Yet, you are gentle and kind and compassionate to all of us here! I love you to pieces! Madly (Dave), you have such a generous heart! I can tell you would give the last of anything you have to someone else, if you thought they needed it! I pray you are well and that your health improves!

Skies are getting dark here, guess the rain is going to move in tonight. I was hoping for at least a half day of sun tomorrow, but I get greedy. God knows my every need and He supplies those needs. I have enough and I am thankful for what I have. Like all of you, I would gladly share my bounty with anyone.

Such a wonderful group of people! Thank YOU, Lord, for my friends! I am so very blessed!

It is now my Prayer Closet/Bible Study room. I have my soft inspirational music set up in there; my prayer jar sitting on top of my grandmother's library table with a candle and of course, my Bible and my prayer list right where I can get to them! I love my prayer closet and the time I am given to spend there with Him. ...and I do pray for each of you while I'm there, sometimes on my knees, sometimes in the chair, and sometimes I pace.

Gotta see what I will have for supper so I can get that cleared away before the Green flag waves! Boogity, Boogity, Boogity, we are goin' racin' tonight!

It's a beatiful sunny day here and 72. Tomorrow through Wed rain, so enjoying to weather while I can. Just got home from helping my Mom trim back some bushes and cleaning up her yard a bit. My Brother Dave came over too and got all of her lawn furniture out trimmed some trees and got her riding lawn mower going. My Mom was amazed at how much we got done in an hour n a half's time. We go right at it and don't waste any time. Mom told me that it would have taken her 3 days to do what I did in two hours.

Just taking a little breather and then heading out to finnish painting my shed. May have to help new neighbor pull a stump out of their yard, but not sure what he decided to do with it yet. I have 4 wheel and have pulled many out over the years. Makes lil Nellie feel strong and earn her keep LOL...

Well, gotta get back at it.. Have a great day all!!

Good morning Ladies.
I found a butterfly just like this in the front grill of Dave's truck yesterday. It was dead, but still in good shape. I put it in a plastic bag so I could look up the type on the computer. It is a "Common Buckeye Butterfly".

What a cool looking butterfly. We don't have those around here. Such a shame that they don't live very long except for some different species. I have 3 butterfly bushes , well 2 have become small trees now, and there are always butterfly's and hummingbirds around them in the summer. I definitely will appreciate them more!

The horses are magnificent Dy...Like you and the butterflies, I have found a new appreciation for these beautiful animals. Between your love for them and all the wonderful horse farms here, I can't help it. LOL :) I want a big horse farm on beautiful rolling hills, just like the ones I see.

Now that would be an amazing honor to have everyone on the thread come and experience being a Codder! I know Mom wouldn't want to travels and leave her home, and Nana wouldn't leave Mom in someone else's care and company.Shels is in Ca. such a long way, but maybe she can arrange it, Grandma's family wouldn't give her up for a second, Taze is MIA, and Mad needs to get his health in order ASAP. Kaci has no excuse lol JMO

Grandma would love to take a vacation! But.... Monte is old, nearing 200k on him and I couldn't push him beyond his limit. How I would love to gather with you all, though! Anyone coming to Indy? Lots of attractions, the zoo is beautiful, we have horse farms... and one exotic animal farm here in Greenfield... llamas, zebras, emus, etc. ... and then there is The Chocolate Factory and the World's Largest Halmark store! .... to say nothing of the speedway and me and my family! Indiana has dunes, too, great beaches, wonderful caverns and caves.... no ocean, though. Sorry, had to plug Indiana.

Would love to travel and see it there. Chocolate factory....don't need to twist my hand to go there!
I think we should all play a lottery ticket and if there is a win , then well Monte could be doused in bronze and you could have a new one, and be flown first class wherever we meet!
