Suzi Blu & Unity ~ ...and then there was a Boy

I was so excited to get home from a weekend away with "the man in the uniform" and play with some stamps that I have not gotten a chance to play with. I went directly to a "Suzi Blu" stamp that I purchased through "Unity Stamp Co.".

I designed this card with the stamp called ....and then there was a Boy. I love this little guy. So many possibilities. He is a fun loving little guy.

Is this not precious or what? Love him!!!



Time to meet my snuggly, warm pillow and snuggle up with my luscious canine, who absoulutly missed us this weekend, who I am sure at this point is snuggling up on "MY" bed right now and in "MY" spot and smiling like no other. She is in bliss. I missed her this weekend and love her. Muuuaaawwwww!!!

Just look at her. Like she thinks she is important or something. Being all humble and that. What's up with that? I love her!!! BTW, the little guy in the background hiding his little face is one of my grand-rugrats. Love him too!!!

Loves, hugs & kisses,

A picture - Day 30 of the 30 day challenge

A picture

This last day of the 30 day challenge I am to post a picture. As we all know, I have made up my own rules to this blogging thingy. I am going to post a collage of pictures. These pictures have occurred at different times from the last few days. The man in the uniform and I took a long weekend trip to our friends home. These weekends away, we have come to treasure. They are fun loving, relaxing and at times down right hilarious.



Take a look at this turn table. Most kids do not even know what this is!!!
You should hear the crackle of the music drifting off this piece of electronic genius!!



Other than spending an AWESOME, relaxing weekend with the best friends ever, what is better than listening to some good ol' vinyl albums? How about some Eagles, Joe Walsh, Guess Who, some Stones, Fleet Wood Mac and the list goes on and on and on.

 My love muffin, "the man in the uniform". Just a chillen' in front of a wood burning fire!!! Absolute bliss.

While the music is drifting into the evening aura...the pool balls are banging together as "the man in the uniform" and I get our hiney's whooped in one of many games played throughout the evening. That's OK though, as the old saying goes, "pay backs are hell to pay". And believe me they are scareded!!!

See this white little furry creature? He is the happiest, yappiest, tiniest, little, itty bitty, brute of a canine that I have ever seen. He thinks he is a 180 pound mastiff and he is scary!!!

I love these people here, period. Here is what our friendship is and my thoughts on it:

Loving without conditions, trusting without hesitation, Friendship.
Forever loyal, kindred Spirits, sharing intimate moments, laughter and tears, Friendship.
More precious than gold, as luminous as the moon, everlasting, beyond description, Friendship.
A gift from God, giving and receiving, compassion and love, Friendship.
Heart to heart, soul connection, Friendship.

Good night all, until we meet again.

Loves, hugs & kisses,

ML Brown

Day 29 of the 30 day challenge

Three wishes

The first of my three wishes are health, happiness and prosperity for my children and grandchildren. I love each and every one of them.

My second wish is wealth for myself. Just sayin'. I don't mean like an Oprah type of wealth. I think a mere one-half of her wealth would do. That really isn't asking for too much, I don't believe. With that wealth the peace and happiness I feel in my life has to remain with me. Well, the wish people can throw in a little more of that too. That is, if I'm not asking for too much!!!

My third wish is world peace. Seriously, it is so easy to smile and be nice!!!! It is ok to have different opinions, beliefs, thoughts and Gods. It is ok to disagree. But in the end wouldn't it be nice if we all just agreed to disagree and/or be different. What a peaceful place this world would be!!!!

Loves, hugs & kisses,

ML Brown

Day 28 of the 30 day challenge

Something that stresses me out

There probably is a lot of things that could stress me out. I have learned in my 'old' age that it is all in the way that I deal with the stress that helps me through it. It is a choice. You can choose to be peaceful at any given time. The choice is yours. You can choose stress or you can choose peace. I work very hard to choose peace and envelope myself in a silken wrap of whiteness. My greatest weapon against stress is my ability to choose one thought over another. Do I have to work on this? ABSOLUTELY. But I do know it does work. Again, the choice is yours. And I choose peace over stress. Do you want to join me?

Loves, hugs & kisses,

ML Brown

  

Day 27 of the 30 day challenge

My pet


Abby

Today I get to share with you my luscious human canine. She is a black lab. Her name is Abby. She is actually a human in disguise or so she thinks. If you are ever lonely, have no fear, Abby will converse with you for hours. All you have to do is talk to her and she talks back. Speaking of talking back, she is a smarty britches too. If you raise your voice at her or tell her no she actually talks back. It is not a bark either. She talks back. I don't know who she thinks she is. She is a freak too. She is the most excitable canine ever!!! She gets so excited around my youngest rugrat that all he has to do is look at her and she wiggles her hind end and piddles everywhere. What's up with that? Now, when she gets around the middle rugrat she freaks because my middle one freaks. They are two dancing freaks!!!! Now my oldest rugrat just ignores her and she ignores him. He's allergic, you know.

Abby's best friend in the whole big world is in dispute. I say it is me. The man in the uniform 'thinks' it's him. We all know, deep down in those milk chocolate doggy eyes that she loves me the most.



She, along with me, is the biggest Brown's fan ever. She, loyally, every Sunday when a game is on,  obediently sits by my side and watches the game, until I start screaming, yelling and acting hysterical, which we all know doesn't happen too often since the Brown's are such a dominate team, at which time she reverts to the bedroom. Speaking of the bedroom. This 75 pound hunk of love actually believes that our bed is her bed. She spreads herself out like she owns it. If you think I can get in bed at night and stretch out in my own soft, dreamy puff of blankeys, think again. It is a tug-of-war like no other. What is sad, Abby usually wins. So I just lay there and try to relax by rubbing her oh so soft, silky, luscious ears and my lights are out. 

 Just look at her all snuggled in. She even has her own fan blowing directly on her for the best of comforts.

 



Now take a look at this. The man in the uniform and blacky here are dancing. That is why he thinks she loves him the most. How special is that. I love them both!!!

As you can see, blacky absolutely loves, loves, loves the snow!!! She is so precious!!!

And as you can see here, she loves to stop and smell the roses. Whoops, I mean the pansies. Love her!!!

Loves, hugs & kisses,

ML Brown

Day 26 of the 30 day challenge

A picture of my family

“FAMILY” is the most eternal part of every human’s life. It is a social unit who my or may not be living together, which comprises of parents and children, sharing common traits and features. It is an association of people who share common beliefs or activities, usually. A family is a group of very different people that have been meshed together from birth, marriage and/or friendship. Family is about love, dispute, anger and respect. In every dispute between a family member, both cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is in this situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm.

My "FAMILY" is my life. My "FAMILY" is:

Day 24 of the 30 day challenge

Something I've learned

The following blog is about things I have learned because of my old age. I absolutely love the old saying "If I only knew then what I know now"!

I've learned that patience is a virtue.

I've learned do not sweat the small stuff.

I've learned to live as if you were dying.

I've learned to surround yourself with positive and back away from the negative. Surround yourself in the white light!!!

I've learned that I am a better person today because I did learn from the mistakes I have made in my past.

I've learned from my last rugrat who introduced to me this poem, at my nephews funeral, the profound words of the following poem which are embedded in my soul until the end:

The Dash Poem

by Linda Ellis

I read of a man who stood to speak

At the funeral of a friend

He referred to the dates on her tombstone

From the beginning to the end

He noted that first came the date of her birth

And spoke the following date with tears,

But he said what mattered most of all

Was the dash between those years

For that dash represents all the time

That she spent alive on earth.

And now only those who loved her

Know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not how much we own;

The cars, the house, the cash,

What matters is how we live and love

And how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard.

Are there things you’d like to change?

For you never know how much time is left,

That can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough

To consider what’s true and real

And always try to understand

The way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger,

And show appreciation more

And love the people in our lives

Like we’ve never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect,

And more often wear a smile

Remembering that this special dash

Might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy is being read

With your life’s actions to rehash

Would you be proud of the things they say

About how you spent your dash?

©1996 Linda Ellis



I have learned how inportant it is how you spent your dash.

 

Loves, hugs & kisses,

Day 23 of the 30 day challenge

Favorite Vacation

The man in the uniform and I have gone on some pretty exciting vacations. A few years back we went to Daytona, Florida for speed week and the Daytona 500. Talk about a 14 day wild and crazy time. It makes me feel total exhaustion just thinking about that vacation. I remember waking up after the first day and I made the big ol' fat mistake of saying "I really don't think I can do this". The whole crew chimed in and said, "If you can't hang with the big dogs get off the porch". Well, I hung and I mean hung on for dear life.

I absolutely love our long weekends riding our 4-wheelers in the Appalachian Mountains in West VA. But, I think my all time favorite vacation was a trip to Ft. Meyers Beach, Florida. Now, mind you, we have been there many times. The vacation that stands out is the one in 2007. It was a very laid back affair. I have never laughed so much in  my entire life. You know "the man in the uniform" completely, unequivocally threw our host under the bus. I mean like no other has been thrown under a bus before. The funny thing about it was that everyone and I mean everyone thought it was funny except the person he dogged. Now, do you want to know what he said? But, you do understand that it isn't that funny unless you were actually there. But, she got mad and said she wanted out of the car so "the man in
 the uniform" told her man to let her out, they'll bring her back when it gets daylight. Then it was on. The week went on from there. There were so many laughs, so much dancing, sand, ocean and pools. It was absolutely an AMAZING vacation. We all, to this day, still laugh about that week.

A beautiful Gulf Coast Sunset!!!



9:00 a.m. The start of a loooonnnng St. Patrick's Day!!!



The beginning of the end!!!!

I do have to say that anywhere I go with "the man in the uniform" is always a favorite time!

Loves, hugs & kisses,

ML Brown

Day 22 of the 30 day challenge

My favorite city

As I ponder this 22nd day of my 30 day challenge my mind goes only to small towns. I do not like cities. I do not like crowds, noise, pollution, fast pace and the hustle and bustle that comes with large cities. I get anxiety just thinking about it. My heart starts to race. The palms of my hands start to sweat. My mind does crazy things. I think it is just best I stay away from them in general. So, I guess that means I will not be blogging about cities.

I think I will blog about a small, little, quaint town that I love. Hmmmmm, let me think. Oh, I know, Circleville, Ohio. Sorry, I do love this little town that I live in. Where else can you go to see the "Greatest Free Show on Earth"?

Just look at the line of pumpkins right up to the pumpkin tower.

Can you go anywhere else to see a pumpkin pie this big?

The sights, the smells, the sounds. It all gets into your blood. The excitement becomes a part of you.

A little history of this wonderful little town:

Daniel Dresbach founded the community of Circleville along the Scioto River in 1810. The town received its name from circular earthworks that Hopewell Indians had constructed in the area, although urban development has destroyed many of those original mounds. Circleville became the county seat for Pickaway County in 1810, and the first courthouse was built in the middle of the circular earthworks for which the community was named.

Dresbach laid out Circleville in a circular pattern. During the 1830s, residents tired of the unusual street patterns. In 1837, the Ohio legislature authorized the Circleville Squaring Company to redesign the community with a more traditional grid pattern. The Circleville Squaring Company completed work in 1856. This marked one of the earlier examples of urban redevelopment in the United States. Most of the native earthworks disappeared as a result of this redevelopment.

OK. I am now finished with the history lesson. BTW, I copied it from a history website.
I love everything about this town. I love to shop in the downtown shops. I love the farm markets that surround this area during the season. I love the gossip. I'm only KIDDING. There are some down falls to the small town atmosphere also. Every body knows every body else's business. Too funny at times. I love it!!!

OK, one more thing. I also love the comfort that my small town brings to my soul!!!

Good night all!!!

Day 21 of the 30 day challenge

Picture of myself

UGH!!! And that's all I have to say about this blog.

My Friend the Racoon

Now, I am sitting here blogging about nicknames for my 30 day challenge and I see this big ol' fluffy thing looking in my side door. His big ol' fluffy striped tail was curled beautifully around his right side. I look him square in the eye and he just 'humpfs' and saunters away. So, I am like, where did he come from and where is he going? I get up and quietly, so I do not startle him, go to the front door and sneak out hoping I will see what this little ball of fur is doing. Low and behold, there his is rolling around on my driveway. My first thougt is, should he be hanging out here? My second thought is, why isn't he running away, because I am standing right there lookimg at him? My third thought is, is he rabid? Then I think, I should run and run really, really fast. But no, not me. Not "Scary Mary" who isn't scared of anything. You know, there are certain things you should be afraid of, but not me. I get my camera and start taking pictures. What do you think he does? He poses. What's up with that? Not only does he pose, he looks me square in the eye and actually smiles for the camera like he does this everyday. Well, maybe he does, who knows?

I do know this, this little guy is way too at home here for his own good. Since he has made this part of the trailway of his adventurous life I think we should name him. I will have a "Name the Racoon" contest. There is no prize because I am not a big enough blogger to have sponsers that would donate their goods for me to give away as advertisement yet. But anyways, that will happen someday. So, leave the name you want him to have in the comments section of this blog or on facebook. I will then vote for the one that I love most. I just may come up with some kind of consolation prize. Everyone  needs to play fair

Happy naming!!!!!

Loves, hugs & kisses

ML Brown

Day 20 of the 30 day challenge

Nicknames

Schultzie ~ for obvious reasons. That is, if you know me and know that my maiden name is Schultz. People to this day, after 31 years of having a different last name, still call me that. I love it when I hear from my old boss, who owned the drug  store with a soda fountain in it that I worked at for 18 years, calls me up and says hey "Schultzie". It just brings tears to my eyes. Talking about that soda fountain. Oh my goodness. You know the soda fountains with the twirly bar stools at the counter. That's it. I remember every time, and I mean every time, I made a milk shake I would get electricuted. You see everything was metal and you had to lean on the metal counter/sink area and reach up to the milk shake mixer with the metal cup and ZAP!!!! It got me every time. I still remember the regulars that sat around there all morning and then a new shift of sitter arounders came in the afternoon.

Scary Mary ~ for more obvious reasons

Crazy Mary ~ for even more obvious reasons.

Mars ~ because Mary is way too long of a name to say. You see, Mary is two syllables and it is very hard to pronounce. Whereas Mars is only one syllable and it just kind of drags there. Like Maaaaarrssssss.

Hey....I want to cut this blog short because I want to blog about my new friend that just walked up to my door and looked in.

Loves, hugs & kisses,

ML Brown

Day 19 of the 30 day challenge

Something I miss

My blog today isn't something I miss, but it is someone I miss. I miss my daddy. I have spoke of him on earlier posts. He was a staunch Catholic. I remember how our lives centered around the church. You do understand that is why there are so many of us chillins. Seven to be exact. Seven damn chillins. It is absolute insanity. God love him. He just couldn't keep his hands to himself. That is also why I miss him so much. To the day he died him and my mother, the baby making machine,  had an awesome relationship. Well, that's all we'll say about that. I miss my dad's funny side. He was always ready for a good time. Again, that is why there is seven of us. I thought we weren't going there anymore. Oh well. I miss the practicle man that he was. I miss the evenings that we would sit for hours just talking in the kitchen at the long picnic table he had made so that all members of the family could sit and eat dinner at the same time. I loved that picnic table so much my dad and I made one together for my family to use in my kitchen. I loved working with him on that project. He was such a perfectionist. That is why I am so perfect. Hahaha. After his mother died he received her round oak kitchen table. At that time the picnic table took a spot on the back patio. That is where is sits today. Now, about that round, oak table. There are some really, really good stories that happened around it. First, all the times my dad and his brothers and the entire families would meet, a few times a year, in Western Kansas, which is no where land, and play cards, drink, laugh, tease, harrasse and just down right have some brotherly fun around that table!!!! If that isn't a run-on sentence I don't know what is, but I am going to leave it that way because I like the meaning behind it. I love looking at it today because it also has cigarette burn marks in it that make me laugh because his mother, God rest her soul, would smoke her cigarettes and she would have the longest ash I have ever seen on the end of a cigarette. I think that is where all the burn marks came from. The ash would have to fall sometime. I had many great conversations with my dad around that table also. I am going to remind you of what my father means to me and after reading that you may understand why I miss him so much.



My daddy loved, Pumpkin Show.
This is my absolute favorite picture of him.

 What my father means to me: Well, what can I say, "the greatest man I ever knew"! A man with a quiet graciousness that is unsurpassed. To me he meant strength, knowledge, a leader, a giver, a man of his word and honorable. He taught me how to love and what love is. He NEVER turned his back on a new challenge. Whether it involved his family, church, work or charity. He saw each challenge to its fullest. I am proud to say Robert A. Schultz is my father.

I miss you daddy. I wish you were here now.

Loves, hugs and kisses,

ML Brown
  

Day 18 of the 30 day challenge

Regrets

Yes, I have regrets. But what is more important than my regrets is that I have learned from my mistakes. One thing we all know is that you cannot change the past, you can only move forward, but learn from the past. If I could go backwards in my life there are things that I would do different. But keeping that in mind, I am who I am today because of what I have been through and the regrets and mistakes of my past.

As I look back on my life, from my childhood up through adulthood, I try to understand why in certain situations I made the choices that I made. Was it how I was raised? Was it because I was a bad kid? Was it because I wanted attention? Really, who knows. But at this time in my life I take full responsibility for the decisions and choices I have made. I lay no blame anywhere but on myself. I had choices. I made choices. I will live with the choices that I did make.

I am at peace in my life. I have made amends with who/what I needed to. I have given many apologies. I can do no more except live each day with the lessons I have learned and to be true and honest with myself and that in turn will flow to the people I love and who are most important in my life.

Life is a lesson. I learn more and more each day. I will always keep my heart and soul open for those oh so valuable lessons and continue to grow into a person I can look at in the mirror and be proud of. 

Loves, hugs & kisses,

ML Brown

Valentine's Day Reminder

To all my little peeps out there. This is just a reminder that Valentine's Day is Monday. Do not forget the one you love. You know, like my love, "the man in the uniform".

Following are a few of my favorite lovey, dovey sayings and some cards that I have made. I am posting this just to get you into the spirit of things. I will tell you this also, "the man in the uniform" gets one of these cards for Valentine's Day, but I'm not saying which one because if he looks at this blog then he will know which card he is getting.

"Sometimes we make love with our eyes. Sometimes we make love with our hands. Sometimes we make love with our bodies. Always we make love with our hearts."

"Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end."
 
 

And last but not least my all time favorite:
"Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker."

I hope you all have a wonderful V-day!!!!
Love, hugs & kisses,
 
ML Brown

Day 17 of the 30 day challenge

Something I am looking forward to

There are many things on this day that I ponder about that I am looking forward to. First and foremost I am looking forward to the life I will spend in my dream home......whoops, that is only a dream. I am supposed to be looking forward to something in real life, if that is at all possible, considering I live my life in a "bubble". You know, kind of like, make believe.

Seriously, I am looking forward to the day that I can retire and/or semi-retire and travel with "the man in the uniform". Times where we can just load up the 4-wheelers and camper and jump in the truck and just roam without out a destination in mind. Just go where the road may take us. You do realize that there are many places in America that are absolutely beautiful and wonderful to see. I want to travel and find those places.  I want to be a wanderer. Wander to places of the unknown. Wander into no where land. Wander about without a care in the world. OK. Enough about wandering. See, there I was kind of getting lost. I'm back though.

I also am looking forward to the day that my daughter is wed to the most wonderful man in the world. You know the one I was talking about in an earlier blog who does that thingy with his right eye brow. Like when he looks at me and she with that look of total amazement with that right eyebrow arking into this question mark like thingy and he just says "Really, Mother Mary"! I love them.

I daily look forward to the times I get to spend with my grand-rugrats. They bring such happiness and joy to my life. They make me laugh and in turn I'm sure they are laughing "AT" me. I miss them when they aren't around. Those grand-rugrats say the darnedest things too. A couple weeks ago one of my grand-rugrats runs up to me and gives me a big ol' bear hug and says in this little hillbilly type accent "Grandma, yous didn't answerrrr yours phone last night and I was calling yous." Then she proceeded to ask me this, "Grandma, can't yous open yours eyes when we are playin?" Well, let me tell you, my response to that one was, "Sorry, but no, my fat cheekies are in the way"! God love them!!! Who wouldn't look forward to that!!!

Like I have said above, if you were paying attention, I do have things I am looking forward to, but I also enjoy living my life on a day-to-day basis. I try to live each and every day to the fullest. It is exhausting at times, but I still try.

My message to you is, "look forward to things in the future but live each and every day of your life to the fullest." I love you!!!

Have a wonderful weekend all.

Loves, hugs & kisses

ML Brown

Day 16 of the 30 day challenge

My dream home

And do I have a dream home. My dream home would be on a ranch with thousands of acres. There would be wild horses running through the pastures and there would be pastures filled with cattle. All kinds of cattle. We would have all kinds of horses, riding horses, wild horses, race horses and work horses. Hey, do you want to know a secret about "the man in the uniform"? He can rope and ride!!! Yeah, just like a real cowboy!!! OK, back to the dream home. On this wide, vast land of pastures would sit my dream home. So.......drum roll, drum roll. Can you hear the drum roll? Bdddddddddddddd:

                                                       BADA BING!!!! So do ya likey?

Now, you will absolutely love the kitchen/great room. You know, on a working ranch you have many mouths to feed. A state of the art kitchen/great room will only do. I haven't decided yet whether I will hire a chef or I will be the chef. I do love to cook, when I cook. But, I also like to be waited on and since this a dream. Why not order up a chef to go along with the package? Does that sound good to ya' all, cause you know you will all be coming for a nice long visit. Alrighty then. The following will do.

Holy crap. How is that for a state of the art kitchen. I have absolutely no idea where this picture was dug out from. Ha, an older version of me!!!! Boy I could feed a hole lot of cowboys out of this kitchen. Really, we need to get real here.

This is the sink/dish washing area. Pretty nice huh? The stove/ovens are commercial grade. We all know what that looks like so I won't post a picture of that area. Really, it's because I don't have one. So now on to the great room that is totally open to the kitchen area.

Look at this and weep.  Weep big ol' alligator type tears. Check out this cozy comfort like no other. Can you just imagine? This is going to be a nice, welcoming retreat. Remember this is a "dream" home. I think now we need to check out the master sleeping quarters next. Comfy, cozy are the only words!!!

 How much snugly, comfy, cozy can you get than this? I want to add one more picture to this blog. It is a picture of some of my land. Now, this is a "dream", but the peacefulness of all this is calling my name.

My last comment on my dream home is summed up with one word, "Breathtaking"!!!

Loves, hugs & kisses,

ML Brown



Day 15 of the 30 day challenge

A picture I love:

Really this is supposed to be day 14 and day 14 was supposed to be day 15. I just got a little ahead of myself here. I do not think I will  worry about the screw up because I do not believe I am getting graded on this blog thingy. If I am getting graded I can say at least I caught my own mistake and I am fixing it in less than 24 hours.

Now for today's blog I am supposed to post a picture I love. Let me review my picture file.........
OK, I'm back... Oh yeah, post a picture I love. Here goes:

Ha, I bet you didn't expect that one!! Can you believe it? "The Man in the Uniform". All dressed up in his finest. I love this picture because it represents who my husband is and the respect I have for him!!! FYI: you know what happens when I see him in his get-up!!

That guy up there & I love to 4-wheel. I've told you that before. So I am going to share with you pictures that I love, doing what we love.


The look after a 60 mile ride!

Now that picture is pretty scary isn't it? Just take a look at my gut! Hahahaha!!! We had a blast. We rode for hours and hours. Just think, I didn't pee my pants on this ride. We were at Dirt Days in Logan, West VA. It is so awesome riding in those Appalachian Mountains. Here...hold on a minute, I have a few more.



Now these are in the same mountains but at a different date and at a different time. They are actually miles away from where we were above. This is the side of the Appalachian Mountains entering from Gilbert, West VA.

Hold on here...just one more moment. I am checking my files again. There is some flashing going on. I think a picture is exploding. It is yelling me, me, pleeeeease pick me!!!!

AND yes, I absolutely love this picture.

 It is times like these when we let our inhibitions run wild and we ride without a care in the 

WORLD!!!!! 

I think I messed up this blog totally. A picture you love means "ONE" picture. But then again, who is grading me. I wanted to show you PICTURES, and yes, that is plural for picture, which means more than one!!!

I hope you enjoyed today's totally screwed up blog. Love it, just sayin'!!!!

Loves, hugs & kisses,
