While growing up..

When I was growing up we had horses and I love it .. I guess I had a type of childhood some children would love to have we didnt have alot of money but Mom and Dad would cut corners so I could have a horse or two. I use to ride in Horse shows yep won lots of ribbons and had alot of fun doing it .. I did the western saddle although being around that many horses I did see some the big big horses and they were English style horses with english saddles I did at one time ride one of them horses I had lots of friends at Hillandale stables were we live close to , it was just a hop skip and jump actually there pasture was attached to ours. I did love riding them horses they were 17 hands high or more big tall horses.. I even tried jumping a few of my horses but they were not really the jumping kind lol. When you have a pinto and palamino and quarter horse they really are not built to jump.. anyway I did have alot of fun growing up and having the opportunity to have horses.. Later..

Today I love having my grandbabies

Today was my son's day to get his kids .. they are the sweetest kids.. I think both of them have finally gotten use to me and there grandpa .. we normally dont get them allot but since my son moved back home with us till he can find a place of his own we get to see them every weekend and let me tell you they are so special and we love having them . There dad is so so good with them at first they were very hyper and just didnt know and now they are more laid back and coming to cuddle with me and there pawpaw .. they both were cuddling with him tonight it was so sweet I took a few pictures of them together and will post about that or put them up soon ., Its just that right now I'm in the bedroom with the laptop and both babies are asleep and there daddy is heading there too. So later with the pictures dont want to wake anyone up right now . I also took a video of them with Kylin Playing with his bubbles we went to the store and thats what he wanted and thats what he got .. they were so cute together.. We all went out to chinese today plus we had Maddey she was such a sweetie she spent the day with her pawpaw up in Iowa city setting up for the flea market we are selling stuff at and have to get up at 6 am to get up there .. everything is setup thats what they did today went up there and all we have to do is get up early and just walk in and uncover our tables.. We use to go to these all the time to sell our goods my hubby use to collect antiques and we would go to different places to sell them . We even went to Colorado once to sell there.. Mostly we went up to Kane county up by chicago to sell in there building .. We use to love it .. my biggest thing was I did not like to set it up or take it down .. I loved wondering around the place and see what they had .. sometimes we came home with extra stuff than we went up there with. People are so crafty and you just dont realize it till you actually go to one of these flea markets.. We are selling a bunch of christmas stuff my hubby had and hope we can sell it all , we do have a few antiques to take but other than that its about it .. what dont sell tomorrow stays for the auction they have on Wednesday with the exception of the antiques that if they dont sell we are bringing back with us. Well better head on to bed got to get up early. Later.

I have had it..

I have had it with my eating since I have been off of work .. It seems thats all I do is eat .. I have to cut back and watch what I eat.. I guess its called boredom so I think I need a little something to help curb my eating. After searching the net I came across these diet pills and hope that they will help me in my quest to lose weight. I have to with my diabetes its not good for me . It seems that as soon as I lose 10 pds I have no problem with my blood sugars.  even a 5 pd loss will help me so much.. wish me luck.

Yesterdays business

Yesterday I was so busy time flew and before I knew it it was over and done with ... I often wonder were time goes and wonder how I did all that I did before when I was working .. I guess thats all that everyone says about it when your not working , but I do have to say that when I was working that I never did cook supper because I worked nights and so there was not a need for it .. hubby just fixed whatever he wanted or ate out .. But now I'm home everyday most of the time all day , and it seems that all do is cook and clean and do dishes all the time its a never ending chore,  I seem to be eating more too.. Well I guess I didnt really tell you what I did yesterday but I guess I'm just talking in circles . Later

A secret dream of mine..

I was surfing the net and came across this site and so would love to own a corset but at my age It might be just a little to late lol.. They are so beautiful and would love to have the type of body that would fit in to one .  But at age 56 this body is not going to fit into anything like that.. I could see my daughter in one though she is little enough that she would look absolutely beautiful in one .. Even after having two kids she keeps herself somewhat in shape.. a shape I wish I had .. looks like I better start doing more being off of work sure has made me lazy lol..  Sometimes I just wonder how I ever did it when I was working .. well maybe I didn't do it ?  ya think?

Its snowing ..

Its snowing again but its the kind of snow that is wet so its not sticking much but its cold .. I absolutely dislike driving in the snow .. never have even though we have a 4 wheel drive car I just don't like it .  It seems that its more the other drivers that you worry about .. I went over to davenport today well I was not driving it was my hubby but it was for a friends birthday .. and so i left the house,  I so so dislike being out in this mess and was so so glad to be back home again were I'm all safe and cozy and warm now. So for now the snow can stay out there and I will stay inside..

My Uncle

I haven't seen him in along time but while out shopping one day I ran into him , I was so happy to see him since my dad had died we dont get to see much of his side of the family much. Anyway we was talking and he was telling me that he is going to miss golfing this winter but they have a golfing range over in Bettendorf its a big dome over there , so all the die hard golfers can go during the winter months also.. I ask him what kind of clubs he was using and he told me he was using Cobra golf clubs he says he has used them for along time . I don't golf myself actually I don't do alot of sports, I will sit and watch a baseball game but other than that the rest of the sports I'm just not interested in. But if any of you out there are golf fans go check out the link above. Later
