Gratitude

It always amazes me that life naturally

gives you a boost when you least expect it.

On Tuesday morning @ 0400, I 

REALLY did not want to drive 

to my parents but by the time I reached 

Lethbridge, the sky was opening up into the 

most beautiful sunrise. When I turned down the road

the leads to the farm, I actually had to stop.

I felt so grateful to have the sight that some

aren't so fortunate to have in order

 to witness such a wonderful morning.

Book 1- The Dovekeepers

I'm being challenged to write what I thought about 

this novel. While I enjoyed the read, I think all 

the chatter about how amazing this

book was, left me disappointed- 

which is AWFUL!

I hate when the book itself wasn't the 

let down, it was the anticipation that ended up 

getting me. I have to say, this book didn't

"grab" me right from the get go. It wasn't a story 

I just couldn't put down. It certainly didn't captivate me. 

BUT, as I'm thinking about a review, I'm thinking 

of all the parts I loved and how brilliant the 

writing was. Each lady had their own story and each

perspective was written just a tad differently which

made the storytelling even that much better.

I loved all of the women and the stories they told.

I just wanted MORE of each of them. Each of

women brought a different dynamic to the story,

and as I'm trying right now to think of who I liked the

best, I actually can't name one. 

Anyways, I can't say it was my favorite book I've 

read recently but it

certainly wasn't bad! 

Keep On

Sometimes I don't know if I even want

to keep this blog going. It actually isn't that 

much work, but to be honest... I don't have many

exciting things to chit chat about.

Maybe the blog isn't the issue!!!

I need some hobbies. 

I am really looking forward to being in

our new house come March/April. 

Then I will have lots of things to share!- well

decorating wise anyways!

In the meantime, prepare for rambling because

I'm going  to keep on, keeping on this blog thing.

Christmas 2014

 I was working the Night shift straight though

Christmas this year which if I had to work, nights

 are the best shift over the holidays.  

I got off around 0630 and headed home. 

The roads were empty and the drive was easy peasy. 

When I got home, Rhys was already up and at it 

{of course} and shortly after Earl was up as well. We

has some chit chat and around 0900 Edie was up and 

we were onto gift opening. For the 4 of us, we sure

had a ton of gifts under the tree- although

the Williams will tell you this was a small Christmas. 

HAHAHAHA! 

We were all spoiled and I had with the little sleep and plenty

of Bailey's, I probably wouldn't have minded had

I gotten nothing. After gifts it was onto Mimosas, which

are def going to be a Christmas morning tradition from

now on and waffles. YUM! 

Then it was off to bed for me and Rhys and his folks

played with their new toys while I got some ZZZ's.

This Guy

I've officially decided that I miss my Eddie.

 He's so sweet and cute... To me anyways, to 

everyone else, he's an asshole. But I love him

anyways and miss him dearly.

As much as I'm looking forward to Mexico next

week, I'm even more excited to get back 

to the farm and see my munchkins.
