Mornin Y'all!
It's cold, it's my day off and I'm still up before dawn. I need to get a life. Maybe find a good women to tire me out so I can sleep in in the mornin.
Oh, well! Got a little more shopping to do for a couple of the grand kids. Got a lot of wrapping to do also. I hate wrapping. Probably cause I'm not very good at it. There's a place a good woman would fit in. Hmmmmm!!!!
Everybody have a gooden.

Good mornin everyone!

Floyd, being a house bytch isn't the worst thing to happen....get-r-done and put a smile on your pretty face.....DID I JUST SAY THAT
enjoy life before dawn....have a goodin

Good Morning my dear family! I am just muddling through. I have been on the go the last couple of weeks. Had to do the important things first. Things that I don't want to do, but I have too. I wish I could tell you that I'm doing okay, but who am I kidding! Our boys are doing the best they can. I am so proud of them! Mark did a good job with them! Even though Jerry and Joey were step-kids, he loved them just as his own! He loved "his" sons! And, he loves his Sonya too! I love them too!!

I am taking 'me' time now! Still have to make decisions, but I have a wonderful support group around me! I am so blessed to have a great family and great friends, and of course my long distance family here! I have been checking up on all of you!

Mouse, I wish you the best and praying for you as you make your decision to go out on your own. It's not going to be easy, but just remember who matters the most to you! Besides, we will support you no matter what decision you make!

Floyd, you always bring a smile to my face! And, I can say now, I know how you feel! I am learning from you! Who cares how you wrap presents, it came from the heart and a big heart you have!! Thank you!

Guy, well you have your hands full. Just know many prayers are coming your way! Thank you for your encouraging words, they mean alot to me!

Nicole, my sister and I are planning to go to Nashville so I can meet my new great-niece, Penelope. I want to tell her all about her great-uncle Mark! I will let you know when! Can't wait to meet you!

Bob J, praying for you and thinking about you! We sure do have some great Angels in Heaven looking out for us!

Big L, Pat, Ragidy57, thanks for checking in every morning! And, for those who are just look around, you really need to pull up a chair and stay a little longer!

Ms. Furr, don't you dare let anyone tell you how your kids should think or learn! You stand your ground, they're your kids! It's amazing how children can have common sense but their so called educators still don't have a clue! You keep doing what you're doing and if you need help down there with these issues, just call me! Give those kids of yours a big hug from me and let them know that I have their backs too!! Tell Hot Legs I said 'hey' and hugs too! Here, catch this big hug for you! Miss you!!

Chuck, thank you! Sending you really big hugs! Thanks for the dance, and no, you didn't step on my toes!! Greg and Scotty, thanks for lunch!

Mr. Mike Hawks, did anyone ever tell you that you are an Angel here on Earth? Thank you for your prayers! Your prayers are helping me and my kids! You are welcome anytime in our home, mud and all! In our home, all are welcome! Give your big man Mannie a hug from me!

Thank you my dear friends for welcoming me and my family into this 'home'. I, like so many are waiting for 2010 to begin. I know I will try to do my very tiny part to make this new year just a little bit better for someone who needs a kind word, a gentle push and a big hug!

As Mark would say, "Gotta keep moving!". I love you all, praying for you all, my 'family'.


Forever...53...

Hi Christine!
You look and sound lovely this morning. Sounds like you got your #### together. I knew you could do it.
Want to come out and help me wrap presents? I've got a few extra days cause half of them get taken to Phoenix for my second Christmas. I've got 11 days off and they are going to go by real fast. It's a busy time of the year.
You have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Give everybody special hugs. You need them too. Here's some extras,

XOXO

Yea Ma, you can go help Floyd wrap my Christmas present from him! Won't take long and you can come to Phoenix with him to deliver it! I promise I gotta hug for you, Christmas or not! I even have a lovely dog that you can take home with you and will help keep you vitalized and busy! Very intelligent, just needs a good "dog whiperer" that can train her. She listens very well and is a very pretty dog! Just don't let her out in the snow cause she's white and would be hard to find! Glad to hear you and family are coping well and I know next week will be tough on you but you are "one tough mama" and will handle it with dignity and pride, I am sure! Make it a happy and laughable Christmas as you know that is what Mark would want! God bless you all!

Mornin' all! Glad it's Friday. Always glad to hear from you Christine. We missed you last night. 26 made it for dinner, and Ashley and Abby lit the place up. I hope you make it out with us on Saturday. Hugs!!

Good to see you Bob J. If you don't mind my asking, have the docs come up with a plan?

They're calling for a little bit of snow this weekend, maybe up to 6 inches. I do love a white Christmas, and I love how pretty Christmas lights look with snow. So I hope we get some. I'd still like to see pics of your trees!

Hey Mike! I remembered to upload the pic of Nolen's baptism. He's 8 months here in the pic.

Hey good mornin to y'all on the West coast...good afternoon to all those East of the Mississippi (didnt think I could spell that huh)well anyhow....Thanks to all for all the prayers,they all help.

I just got back from the Doc. and I got some good news....I dont need chemo at this time.My bone marrow test was good and my ct scan was good (no swollen limphs)and the white cells was staying steady.
Sorry for the long post but My family and myself are so happy right now.
I still have leukemia but as of now its the mild form if there is a mild form.
Bad news is now I need a haircut....I'll take that.......Thanks again for everyone's good wishes and their prayers.

I didnt name everyone because of my ADD I cant remember everyones name.

Good evening folks,man this day has been really wild,knowed the snow was coming,so tryed to get the animals comfortable,and some work in the under the sheds for the next few days,got most of it done,went to run my junk parts route,and got caught out by the snow,bout three miles from home,me and Mannie hit the ditch in the two wheel drive dodge,had to call Hope to come get us in the farm suburban 4x4,and then went back on my 4x4 tractor,hooked her up and hauled her home,did'nt hurt anything,just some extra work,but all is well,going to play with Mannie tomorrow in the snow......................

I told him I'd take the gator and hook and old bed-liner behind it and pack us a snow hill to tube down and we get us all some junk car hoods with clear-coat on them and do alittle redneck snow sleding,hillbilly style.......... .........................

We'll build a bon-fire,roast some marsh-mellows and some hot-dogs and have a little fun,we don't get this much snow hardly ever,they say 12 to 16 inches,right now we have 7 or 8 inches,can't wait,this maybe just what old Mike needed to get in the Christmas Spirit.......................... .....................................

Bob J so glad to hear that good report,this family around here could use some good news,it's been a tough year,God does answer prayers...................... ....................................Hey Chuck !!!!!! That is one good looking little dude,prutty and healthy,God Bless him and his Family,and thanks for the pic.made me smile all over and had one of them AWWWWWW moments................. .......................

And MaB you always make me blush,when you say them nice things about me,I give all the credit for them prayers to the Good Lord above,I can't start without him holding my hand,and the Blessings,I have recieved from this family,is outstanding,and I know without a doubt we all are going to be alright and even when our bumps in the road get to be so big that they seem impossible to handle,I know one that is holding my and our hand and sometimes he even carry's me,so God Bless ya,and just know that you have prayers for you and the kids that are being prayed from down here in Cana,Va. and don't be surprised if me and old Mannie the man show up at your door one day............ .....................Oh yea Love you too.............. ...............................................

Ok ya'll have a gooden and we'll see ya'll when the sun comes up on our snowy winter wonder junkyard.............. .................................

Oh MsFurr ya'll get ready Mannie said he could throw a snowball all the way to your house,let me know ifn he does,we'll call the major league............... ...........................................................................

Thanks for the nudge Ma B, great to see you...and hot legs said to send you his love, the kids & I send you a big ol family hug!! we love ya!
Chuck, Nolan is such a sweetie, great family pic too!

Mike, tell Mannie that snowball just landed on the deck & I thought those snowflakes were gettin very big for a second! I also remember sleighing on car hoods with tractors pulling us back up the hill, the hill was nearly a mile long (or it felt like it anyway), bonfires and smores...those were fun times!

Hope you guys stay warm and enjoy the snow if you have some!

I'm off to EZ Lube to get the tow truck serviced and then to the car wash to make it look good for the drive to Phoenix next week. Maybe I'll swing by ToysRUs and do a little more shopping.
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

Floyd, how many times do I have tell you, ToysRus don't have anything I want! Try Lopers when you get to Phoenix and maybe you can find something that I could use! If I ain't home, you can leave it under the old milk can out on the front step as we are taking the grandaughter and going down south to Willcox so wife can visit with her sister while grandaughter and I go and give her a view of the Wonderland of Rocks, where I I spent my first day in school and a few other old sites
including Tombstone and Gleeson (where I spend a lot of time in jail)on the 23rd and will be coming back home the mornin' of Christmas day!

Guy, I kinda figured you needed a new game for your Wii since there ain't no racin goin on for a couple of months. You're goin to be sittin in that recliner wearin your finger tips off with that controller. I heard there are a couple of new Disneyland Princess games you might like.

Good Morning Floyd,glad to hear your friend is doing good,and I'll take the same present you got me last year,but I would like a different color......... .................Hope you didn't get any sunburn outside yesterday,and if I did'nt need to make a little money around the junkyard,I'd move the minnie-winnie and Mannie and ofcourse me,out that way,be hard to survive on my looks............... ......................................and would be hard to bring the junkyard along............................................

Well another cold snowy and windy morning here in old Happy Cana,Va.so onward and upward,well ya'll have a gooden and prayers all around,and MaB thinking about you,God Bless all my friends and family.............................................................

Dear Lord thank you for your blessings of this day and for all the wonderful friends you have sent my way through this site,and Lord we just ask that you comfort the hearts of all that are sad or sick this morning,and especially we pray for Christen and the kids and friends of Mark,Lord please give them peace and that warm hug,and comfort them in this Christmas season,and Lord we thank you for the prayers we've seen answered and for the ones we can't understand,and ask why,please just give us understanding,in thy precious name...........................AMEN.................................................

Thanks for the prayer this beautiful Sunday morning Mike
