.... and I'm Colonels wife and he was CIA and overseas operative for several years..... so he could pay off his first wifes cancer treatment bills, but she was the vindictive sort..... oh.... da man needed to heal from all that...... theres so much going on.... What a tale I can spin after all, eh?

GS, 1 yr , first pic GS, varied ages so far ( at aquarium for his birthday) GS , first time seeing the waves of the ocean in Hawaii,he was just fine up the way on the sand but right down where the water was........ well, that scared him.... Please don't use for any purpose, these are copyright protected, and US MARINE PROTECTION /US ARMY spec Forces guys .... they are serious., no joke, will be applied if needed , but I thought you might enjoy seeing how he is doing. strawberry blond to darker red hair, and blue eyes. sturdy, quick crawling, happy little fellow who is very smart... so its private. thanks, but yea, my book is for his sake as well, and all the veterans out there.

My summer entertainment. lol. it really has had me laughing... I cannot believe how it works though, its great!

Just been listening to music and writing like a fiend. lately..... thats been some really funny stuff the writing....... told Marcy about patched in phone call from President Putin and Trump.... end of America genre, love story , how in heck did I end up a Colonels wife any how ( who is an incredible wood worker and evidently sketch artist as well. world class and fine non gmo farmer and horsemaster.. spec forces retired, CIA international sort, supposedly retired now, but oh the Militia can use him..... hmph.... well allrighty... . Nothing like finding out the Governor is an old army buddy of the Colonels........ I had fun with that character...... the book is so darn funny but profound too in so many ways. Amazing what happens when you win the Powerball. Well, heck, I just charmed Putin after all. Im good! But you should see what his special request was! OMGOSH. Brad Thor can eat his own heart out as far as IM concerned. It is bit too adult to post here.... well, very adult .... on Fireside....... and its already 850 pages, Im really trying to finish this and go next sequel..... I need to edit of course..... but its a whippersnapper story , Militia needs and such..... 100 acre farm and huge multipurpose Cob home ,,,,,,, but well Putin came out of nowhere but hey, cell phones dont work right now...... in the story...... lol. Oh I hate surprises like that...... over the phone. and now, its the evening before two days with Putin and Trump arriving in private helo with a surprise for 3 young Russian soldiers who defected from their attacks , midwest USA and we have them working on the farm ....... heck they knew how to build real haystacks and the community's baler died, needed parts after chaos and war struck after banks shut down...... ends up Im a real cousin , of the nth generation, my polish maiden name is related to their family name..... oh, and Putin loves this...... talk about freaked out now and so is the Colonel.... what the heck! This is going to end the first book..... I have lots of editing to do..... but second book is Russia assisting to clear ISIS and Chinese out of America for us...... evidently he has a change of heart about a lot of stuff....... and then rebuilding starts with Russias help. All I wanted to do was a legacy for my grandson , veteran equine therapy and also for adults with aspergers...... heirloom seed production nd root crops to help local grown situation so we can diversify ad then Dolly Partons impromptu musical USO efforts to say thanks the militias ........ and well we really didnt want to go political ....... at all......... talk about being uncomfortable....... impossible to say no to such a request and with the war and displacement situation my family does get there, and my son nd his family and then DIL's family members or most of them.... hmmm family stuff........ hmmm well that sort of works but yep theres some humdingers..... as always...... our whole federal government just hid itself, left us to deal with attacks galore etc...... since trump did have over all positive percentages he got requested to be sworn in , and well. I guess Im about to give him a run for the money in this story....... wth??? me? ha! Putin is easier than Trump , lol and hes very scary and he knows exactly who I am , relatives and stuff and who David is...... talk about being UNCOMFORTABLE, but they need our help and well Putin was entirely generous from his end......... gee, I really would have loved an international phone call a few days back...... And no they dont want to talk to the Colonel first......... they want to talk to me, since it MY FARM and my ideas on what I wanted to use it for..... and well my cob home is 4800 sq feet...... and 4800sq ft..finished cellar made with stone block , like a dungeon of old...... how we get it built and furnished, out buildings and every thing else is the first part of hte story and then the effects of war and how folks get there and what doesnt happen due to the attacks.... and an incredibly intense relationship that is really golden for several reasons.... highlighting how society is lately , in a nutshell and what we do about it for each other , who me? Yea, me. We figure its God , because everything happened once I won the Powerball..... this guy was managing the realtors office for two years and for some reason had been intrigued by me in the neighborhood , but he felt shy of getting acquainted, oh and remember my crazy landlady, he leases his office next to her shop.... my old apartment building..... I get to walk in to try and find a house for my friends down the street ...... and so that begins.... opportunity?? yep..... and he has an incredible daughter and grandsons, with her hubby out to sea on one of three subs out of Bremerton who get damaged'......... and have to be towed in.......my son ends up seeing Chinese bombs striking he Big Island one evening and Koneohe is the only base they end up evacing the spouses and families from while whole of Hawaii under attack..... like in 12 minutes time..... and hes had to watch his wife go off to defend the Command Post....... shes the Finance Officer as it is.... slowly everyone who shows up has different adventures and ends up there...... well the place is filling up fast. We did prep like crazy and yea you win money like that your bank manager will tell ou to get squared away fast these days. I had help just fall in place. Add in Dolly Parton , George Straight ....... and lot of others. we provide refuge and we are still waiting for a little outdoor concert moment..... all kinds of actions.......and some very poignant things going on..... and now, PUTIN. Oh my gosh.... . we now have 600 acres ...... organic soil all ...... arkansas all I can say is things came together fast...... all in Gods timing and well, its is quite a story so far. and we have to train all incoming folks since most were city slickers , heck I have a lot to learn , and yes its not lonely! This whole farm is meant to simply be legacy I can hand down to my grandson..... well its a bit complex I can tell you and we cant even find the time to train my son as main manager and teach him basic farming, manual labor stuff really... how to be a farmer manual, tech manual idea comes up, this is what we all used in the military vocations we had..... but we havent had time to do it yet...... the hits keep coming and some are absolutely very hard to handle emotionally but you end up having to do it anyway... when its like this scenario..... no time for fancy stuff, especially international and dangerous intrigue...... but well, we get stuck with this...... nothing like having men like Trump and Putin ask you to do them a favor...... its a heck of an obligation too. ( Skeery) .

not too hot today and is starting to rain. BIG NORTHEAST AREA DOWN TO NORFOLK VA TORNADO WATCHES AND WARNINGS TONIGHT, starting in about an hour, as long as til Dawn. What fun.. I goeth to prepare a closet inside inner room..... sigh.

yup, good idea to follow up cautiously. notify their contact us link if you want or can, maybe they got hacked.

Yep been hot a bit again..not too bad, wondering if we get a storm or not although it seemed we would. We need rain! Real rain! Just trying to chill anyway. Enjoying the skies and breezes, nice summery stuff out there.

I had chicken pox as a child, lupus by 19, shingles hit my insteps one day in 1983 or so, what fun . I found out old remedy is make a paste of Kitchen Thyme and water and apply, natural steroids. Hoping you feel better, drinks lots of plain water too, it will help flush that stuff out of you. I hope you get better soon, its not fun< I know.

Kind of stunned with the terror attack last night in Orlando Florida at nightclub. 50 lost their lives and 53 wounded, our EMS, police responders were putting people in their trucks to get them to the hospitals fast, other nightclub clients were carrying them out by hand as soon as the shooter was finally dead. Many witness accounts. I'd say alot of them were pretty heroic, and they helped save lives if they could., wrapping heavy bleeding arms and packing wounds with shirts and stuff trying to maybe stay alive at the same time. Afterwards many helped carry them out to get them to vehicles responding to take to hospital, there just were not enough ambulances. . It can happen in any venue. Valid reports on intel received say more will happen during Ramadan. Last night it targeted the LGBT community, but it can be any type of public venue. Im trying to just relax tonight. Maybe write some more of my book if I feel like it. Got some music on, so just kicking back. Its actually cool enough outside all day and little rain but it was forecast seriously .......where is it???? but my hands got cold walking to the store.....

yeh,its still cold and gloomy here, supposed to be raining but theres not much, very cool weather for right now. had to have lights on all day yesterday and should today. not good . need togo to store but may wait on that, not sure if this storm will kick up and its cool enough if I get soaked its not fun. got the beach boys radio station on pandora, going to work on my story writing I guess, call dad. Is it actually Fathers Day? Callmy son if the power stays on I guess. Getting blustery. need to check radar, have a great day all you dads out there if it is Fathers day. I dont have an accurate calendar I figured out. So it's why I ask.

Just 'one of those days!' --- actually doing a little better now after what happened in apartments next door , still upset but trying to just do my thing. Have music on daily, it helps. Pandora helps because I can at least choose what I want to hear. Right now its Lisa Kelly and Celtic Woman , both similar? She would fit right in with their band, other than that country music mostly or beach boys stuff /era which is just what I grew up with. I am using the music to help me write, it flows better and I can set the mood for the scenes as I go, with Pandora. Unfortunately its a very adult book so I would have to condense it to post it here on the site ,maybe in time I can, but I do mean to publish it through Kindle. TMC is cheering me on, its very long, will be sequel'd as well. Great story line, more genres than I meant at first so it's complex which adds length and content and character development.... so spending many hours on it as long as this ole laptop holds up enough....... do put it on flash drive though so can save it.

Just busy writing, temps dropped and its almost chilly during the day..... I can't keep up with this strange weather any more . Deeply overcast, rain coming in later I believe. So staying cozy, just overcooked boiled eggs .sigh, got distracted and forgot.... can possibly salvage. We shall see, Need to go get more eggs any way.

* listens to celtic woman kind of music to chase off such memories.

hate that sound! Ugh! .

omg, when I saw your note above, lol. made me laugh. believe me its part of the issue Im dealing with in my apartment situation this week, which has been terrible... bout at the end of my rope with all the freakin nuts around here. My stuff is very mild compared to that. I did make sure they are aware I have an axe and hatchet ......... of course that one real special fella next door , well ...... his stuff might end up going viral , people dont like it at all what he did to his wife and is running around our small town trying to line up his next since shes terminally ill with cancer. He's being watched....... thats for sure.

Yeah Annarchy, my big bro is back in Joshua Tree , CA and it was 106F there at noon. I remember the 118F days in Ridgecrest, also in the Mojave. I used to work outside all day there! Well a lot of the time, gads. If I had stayed out there I should have applied to Nasa at Edwards, I had the resume for a few positions , and had periodically helped with some of the gear when they brought some of it to my particular Intermediate shop, at the time I was there in the Navy days. I didn't like plain desert though. So I left. ok, here in upstate NY it was over 90 at 2pm , or it felt that way, and one right toe is aching, so serious rain is coming ( its all predicted. ) Lumabean checked in with me on FB , she will be in the SEVERE ZONE there mid atlantic , most of PA and up past Albany possibly? TORCON was at 3 prediction, it CAN kick up tornados at that level for SEVERE ZONE, Im about 100 miles north of Albany NY , but we should be ok, depends on how it all goes up from south of us...... we do seriously need rain. Hope the power stays on for folks, etc. Lumabean is all prepped for storm though.

Their food is so good! Oh, nearest one is NY City location, lol. The commie mayor ( yea card carrying, too) tried to get folks to boycott Chic Fil A there and suddenly they had droves of folks come in, everyone is embarrassed by this guy. I so wish I could get a chicken sandwich at one , they were so good when I was down in GA the last time ( years ago) . DS turned 36, he was 17 at the time. wow, it has been wayyyyyyyyyy too long.

not quite as hot, but some stormin, yesterday was cool with thunder in the distance.... sounds of summer.

Hoping you are doing better Trudy. Holler at me on FB if you want! you can leave a pm I will get back to ya.

it must have been hacked. Ive a few floating around that probably have been. Just had someone approach me on FB too, evidently a hacker or spammer trying to set you up to extort money for very questionable things over in Africa.... oh, been there already buddy, get the hell off my page now.... sorry, couldnt help myself. Strictly told the man he would be turned in to FB. No lawyer presents things in the way he did even if he is looking for relatives for supposed inheritance..... and I only had married into that family name. Told him to head to NC , it was quite common.... been some time since the ex's momma lost the plantation home, he was 7yrs old at the time, his father died, from cancer at the time and he ended up growing up half the time with out electricity and stuff, with him mom scraping it together daily to make it, his sister was caretaker and shower of the old home for the historical society there ... and that hubby was no example of his forefathers I gotta say, lol.

The weather's gone crazy, woke up a couple days ago and well, the temps went way up and some clouds and rain, so humidity..... whoa, compared to how it had but forecast says uh huh, we will dip back again lower.... allrighty.... Very nice garden, WE2, I think its great you and your hubby are such a good team, you are on top of it all! Dogmom it hit 94 or so here the past two days and today is pretty warm right now. Got the fans on. Dont have AC , ugh. I think I will be going down to the park alot this summer during the afternoons. I just take the laptop for writing and my wee knitting , something to drink and healthy snack and Im good for a few hours.

Speaking of that, going to heap on the blankets tonight and turn on The Quiet Man movie and listen to it til i fall asleep. Its better than listening to noisy neighbor who works late and can the be up til 330 am making noise directly on the other side of my bedroom wall. Ugh.

yep still cold ......sigh. I am not going to be used to it when it does get real hot later at this rate, lol. Bundled up more than i think i oughta be just now.

Thanks, I need to buy some bulk cream of tartar then.
