ANNIE AND WILDFIRE

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY MOTHER WELSH ( HALF SHELAND, HALF TN. WALKER ) HORSE, ANNIE. the brown and white one.

SHE IS GETTING VERY SKINNY AROUND HER BACK BONE AND HER HIPS.
HER COLT, WILDFIRE IS A YEAR OLD AND STILL NURSING. ANNIE THE MOTHER EATS CONTANTLY HAY AS WELL AS SWEET FEED. ANNIE'S HAIR STARTED TO COME OUT AROUND HER BACK BONE. I HAVE BEEN PUTTING A SPECIAL OINTMENT ON HER AND IT IS GETTING BETTER. I ALSO WORMED HER EVERY 2 -3 MONTHS.

TODAY I TALKED WITH SOME GUYS WHO KNOWS A LOT ABOUT HORSES AND THEY TOLD ME TO SEPERATE THEM UNTIL ANNIE'S MILK DRIES UP SO THE COLT CANNOT NURSE HER ANY MORE . TODAY I PUT WILDFIRE IN THE WOODED LOT RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO MY HOUSE.



I LEFT ANNIE IN MY BACK YARD AND FIXED THE FENCE WHERE THEY CANNOT GET TO EACH OTHER EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN GET NOSE TO NOSE OVER THE FENCE WITH EACH OTHER.

IT IS VERY SAD TO ME THAT NOW THEY STAND AND STARE AT EACH OTHER. BUT I HAVE TO GET ANNIE, HER MOTHER BACK TO HER HEALTHY SELF. AND THAT TITTY BABY COLT IS JUST GOT TO STOP BEING A TITTY BABY AND GROW UP. IT'S CALLED THE CIRCLE OF LIFE.

THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF THEM BEING SEPERATED AND HOW THEY HANG OUT AT THE FENCE ON OPPOSITE SIDES LOOKING AT EACH OTHER.IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LISTEN TO THIS VIDEO before you click on this video go down and turn off my music at the bottom of my journal

.

IT'S BEEN A DAY LONG JOB GETTING HAY ON BOTH SIDES AS WELL AS SWEET FEED AND TO GET THEM SEPERATED BY MYSELF AND FIX THE BARB WIRE FENCE. ALSO GETTING ALL THE WOOD IN THE HOUSE FOR THE COLD DAYS AND NIGHTS AHEAD OF US. IT FEELS LIKE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PIRARIE AROUND HERE AND LITTLE JOE IS LONG GONE.

IF I CAN GET ANNIE BACK TO LOOKING HEALTHY I WILL BE ONE HAPPY CAMPER. SHE IS SO SWEET AND GENTLE. I'M FEEDING HER APPLES AND CARROTS. I'VE SEEN TOMMY FATTEN SEVERAL SKINNY HORSES BACK TO BEING FAT SO I CAN DO IT TOO. I HAD THE BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD.

TOMMY ALWAYS USE TO SAY TO ME IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMEONE GIVE THEM A HORSE. I KNOW WHAT HE MEANT NOW. LOL

I WOULDN'T TRADE MY HORSES HE GAVE ME FOR ANYTHING. I JUST WANT ANNIE TO BE BACK STRONG AND FAT WITH HER BEAUTIFUL COLT SO BOTTOM LINE GOT TO GET TITTY BABY OFF OF HER..

52 PIECES OF ME....... WEEK 3

THE THIRD WEEK OF MY 52 PIECES OF ME IS ABOUT MY VALENTINE'S DAY
THIS YR. 2009



THIS IS ELIZABETH ( MY DAUGHTER AND ( MY YOUNGEST GRANDSON) JERRON MAKING HEART SHAPED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES AND DECORATING THEM FOR OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS . YUMMY THEY WERE DELICIOUS MELT IN YOUR MOUTH WARM DELIGHTS.

THE DAY BEFORE VALENTINE'S WAS A VERY SAD DAY FOR ME. I WENT TO THE RANCH AND WITHOUT TOMMY IT'S IN BLACK AND WHITE AND ALL THE TECHNICOLOR FOR ME LEFT WITH HIM . I WAS THINKING OF VALENTINE'S PAST AND ALL THE THINGS WE HAD DONE AND SHARED IN THE PAST. I CRIED MOST OF THE DAY.

I DECIDED TO DECORATE MY HOUSE AND HAVE THE BEST VALENTINE POSSIBLE ANYWAY. I MADE MY HOUSE PRETTY FOR ELIZABETH AND I WITH DECORATIONS, PRESENTS AND DECIDED TO PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR LIKE TOMMY SHOWED ME HOW TO DO UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES IN YOUR LIFE. HE ALWAYS TOLD ME TO ALWAYS LOOK AT THE MOMENT YOU ARE IN. 10 PERCENT OF LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU AND THE OTHER 90 PERCENT IS HOW YOU REACT TO WHAT HAS HAPPEN TO YOU HE WOULD TELL ME.

I GOT MYSELF SOME TULIPS THINKING THAT IS WHAT TOMMY WOULD BE DOING FOR ME. I ALSO GOT ELIZABETH SOME TULIPS AND ELIZABETH GOT HER SISTER SOME TULIPS.

A DAY OR TWO BEFORE TOMMY DIED ELIZABETH AND HIM WERE PLANTING TULIPS BACK IN NOV. THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A FLOWER GROWING CONTEST. WHILE ELIZABETH WAS PLANTING HERS OUT IN OUR FRONT YARD TOMMY DROVE BY IN HIS GOLF CART AND TOOK HER SHOVEL FROM HER AND LEFT. HE GOT HURT A FEW DAYS LATER AND WENT TO THE TRAUMA CENTER AT THE MED IN MEMPHIS. I THOUGHT OF THE TULIPS AND WAS GOING TO GO PLANT THEM FOR HIM WHILE HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL. WHEN I WENT TO THE GOLF CART THERE WAS THE SHOVEL AND THE EMPTY BAG THAT THE TULIPS CAME IN. I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND ASK HIM WHERE DID YOU PUT YOUR TULIPS. HE COULDN'T TALK FOR ALL THE TUBES BUT HE WOULD ONLY SHRUG HIS SHOULDERS LIKE I DON'T KNOW ??EVERYDAY FOR 6 DAYS BEFORE HE DIED WE ALL KEPT ASKING WHERE ARE THE TULIPS. ALWAYS THE SAME SHRUG HIS SHOULDERS AND PUT BOTH THUMBS UP. AS WE ALL KNOW TOMMY DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN. WE HAVE ALL TALKED ABOUT WONDER WHERE THOSE TULIPS ARE HE PLANTED.

VALENTINE MORNING I GOT UP DROVE TO HIS HOUSE OPENED MY CAR DOOR RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND THERE WERE THE TULIPS. THEY HAD SPROUTED AND THE BUTTERCUPS WERE BLOOMING.I JUMPED OUT OF THAT CAR AND SCREAMED TOMMY GAVE ME FLOWERS AND THEY BLOOMED ON VALENTIN'S DAY FROM HEAVEN.

HERE THEY ARE LOOK NEXT TO THE DIRT THE GREEN SPROUTS..



THESE ARE THE BUTTERCUPS



THESE ARE THE POTS THAT HAVE THE TULIPS IN THEM AND THE BUTTERCUPS ARE IN THE BACK NEAR THE TREE.




THAT STARTED MY VALENTINE'S DAY OFF WITH A BANG AND HERE ARE THE REST OF THE DAYS PICS ON THE SLIDESHOW. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A CAPTION RUN YOUR CURSER OVER THE BOTTOM OF EACH PIC OR GO TO MY PICS AND LOOK FOR VALENTINE 2009.

52 PIECES OF ME....... WEEK 2

I HAD TOMMY'S FAMILY IN TOWN THIS WEEKEND WITH HIS NEW GRAND BABY SO THIS IS THE FIRST CHANCE I'VE HAD TO GET MY 52 PIECES OF ME - WEEK 2 UP ME ON THE BULLETIN.

THIS WEEK IS ABOUT​ MY NEW FURNI​TURE AND THE HELL I WENT THROU​GH WORKI​NG AT THE CASIN​O TO MAKE ENOUG​H MONEY​ TO BUY THIS MOST COMFO​RTABL​E AND BEAUT​IFUL FURNI​TURE THAT I PLAN TO HAVE FOR A VERY LONG TIME.​ I WORKE​D 6 YRS AT THAT HELL HOLE TAKIN​G GREAT​ AMOUN​TS OF ABUSE​ FROM THE GUEST​ & MOST OF THE SUPER​VISOR​S.​ ALL MY MONEY​ ALWAY​S WENT TOWAR​D BILLS​ BUT WHEN I LEFT FOREV​ER THIS IS WHAT I DID WITH THE 401K MONEY​ I START​ED THE THIRD​ AND FINAL​ TIME I WENT BACK TO WORK FOR THEM.​ NOW I CAN SIT OR LAY ON IT EVERY​ NIGHT​,​ EVERY​ WEEKE​ND AND MOST OF ALL EVERY​ FRIGG​IN HOLID​AY SO CHRIS​ FIT THROW​ER FROM HELL KISS MY GRITS​.​


AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT. IT'S CALLED THE WIDOW DIET DON'T TRY IT BECAUSE IT SUCKS. ONE OF US IS GONE AND THERE IS ONE OF US LEFT TO CARRY ON EVEN IF I AM THE SHRINKING WOMAN. LOL THEY SAY THE LORD NEVER GIVES YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE BUT THIS IS THE THIRD HUGE MOUNTAIN HE HAS GIVEN ME THIS TIME. BUT I HAVE A CLOUD TO SIT AND LAY ON TO HEAL FROM MY LOSS AS WELL AS THAT CRAZY CRAZY ABUSIVE JOB I HAD. I'M VERY HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE IN MY LOVELY HOME FURNISHED FROM RONNIE MY HUSBAND, TOMMY MY HONEY AND MY HARD WORKING SELF. MANY BLESSINGS AND MEMORIES ARE IN MY HOME.



THIS IS A SLIDESHOW WITH CAPTIONS OF MY LIVING ROOM FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES.

CIRCLE OF LIFE

TODAY I GOT TO SEE HOLD AND FEED TOMMY'S FIRST LITTLE GRANDBABY BOY THAT WAS BORN ON TOMMY'S BIRHTDAY AFTER TOMMY'S DEATH IN NOV. THE BABY WAS BORN IN DEC JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS.


EVERYTIME WE WOULD GO OUT TOMMY WOULD BUY SOMETHING FOR THE BABY BEFORE HE WAS BORN IF HE SAW SOMETHING THAT HE WANTED HIM TO HAVE. HE BOUGHT HIM HIS FIRST OVERALLS, HIS FIRST CHRISTMAS STOCKING WHILE WE WERE OUT SHOPPING BEFORE THE BABY WAS BORN AND A LITTLE ONESIE THAT SAID I'M A RIDIN LITTLE DUDE. HIS NAME IS WILLIAM POWELL BOOKER. TOMMY'S LAST NAME WAS POWELL.


THE BABY NOT ONLY HAS TOMMY'S ( HIS GRANDFATHER'S ) NAME AND HIS B-DAY, BUT I THINK HE HAS HIS EYES AND HANDS. I HELD THE BABY FED HIM AND LET HIM SLEEP A LONG TIME IN MY ARMS
THINKING HOW TOMMY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LIVE TO SEE HIM. TOMMY SAID HE WAS GOING TO TEACH WILLIAM POWELL HOW TO SPIT AND MAKE HIM A REAL COWBOY JUST LIKE HIM OUT OF THAT LITTLE BABY. HE PLAN TO KEEP HIM IN THE SUMMER AT THE RANCH AND LET HIM RIDE GOLFCARTS AND HORSES. I THINK SOMEHOW AS THE CIRLCE OF LIFE GOES THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE AND THIS BABY WILL BE FIRST A LITTLE BOY AND INTO A MAN JUST LIKE HIS GRANDFATHER WAS IN MANY WAYS. NOT JUST HIS EYES AND HANDS AND NAME OR B-DAY BUT IN MANY GREAT WAYS AND DO MANY GREAT THINGS IN HIS LIFE JUST LIKE HIS GRANDFATHER DID IN ALL OF HIS LIFE LIKE FIGHT FOR EQUAL RIGHTS FOR EVERYONE AND AWAYS HELPING THE NEEDY AND THE UNDER DOG ALWAYS TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT AS FORTUNATE AS HE HAD BEEN IN HIS LIFE. ..





WILLIAM POWELL BOOKER.


LOOKING INTO THIS BABY'S EYES WAS JUST LIKE LOOKING INTO TOMMY'S EYES.

THE CIRCLE OF LIFE.

52 pieces OF ME....... WEEK 1

ONE OF MY FRIENDS CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA CALLED 52 PIECES OF ME. EVERY WEEK I PICK SOMETHING TO TAKE A PIC OF AND WRITE ABOUT IT. IT SOUNDS REALLY FUN AND I'M GOING TO DO THE SAME THING IN MY JOURNAL. AFTER 52 WEEKS I'M GOING TO LOOK BACK AND SEE WHAT WAS IMPORTANT FUN OR EXACTLY WHAT I HAD TO WRITE ABOUT EACH WEEK.


OK SO HERE WE GO 52 PIECES OF ME WEEK 1






OUR DAY WILL COME !! TODAY WAS THE DAY



THIS IS THE WOODED LOT NEXT DOOR TO MY HOUSE. THE TREE WE ARE SITTING ON FELL SOME TIME FROM THE ROOTS ( DON'T KNOW WHEN) . BEFORE TOMMY DIED HE FENCED IN MY YARD AND LOT AND GAVE ME TWO HORSES ANNIE AND HER BABY ALMOST A YR OLD WILDFIRE. HE TOLD ME I WOULD NOW ALWAYS HAVE MY ON RANCH NO MATTER WHATEVER HAPPENED. 2 WEEKS LATER HE WAS KILLED. I HAVE OWNED THIS LOT FOR 27 YRS AND I HAVE NEVER WALKED OVER INTO THE WOODS BECAUSE OF ALL THE UNDER BRUSH. AFTER WE PUT THE HORSES OVER HERE THEY ATE ALL THE UNDER BRUSH SO NOW YOU CAN SEE ALL THROUGH THE WOODS WHICH MAKES IT SO MUCH PRETTIER.


I'M SITTING WITH JERRON MY YOUNGEST GRANDSON. HE WAS NAMED AFTER MY HUSBAND ( RONNIE ) AND HIS BROTHER ( JERRETT ) WHO WAS KILLED IN A FAMILY AUTO ACCIDENT 9 YRS AGO. JERRON AS A LITTLE BABY WAS SO ATTACHED TO HIS MOTHER HE WOULDN'T EVER SPEND THE NIGHT WITH ME. HE CRIED AND WOULD THROW FITS UNTIL I WOULD TAKE HIM HOME. ON THE SAME DAY THAT I DECIDED TO WALK INTO MY LOT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 27 YRS IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST TIME JERRON ASK TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH ME AND STAYED WITHOUT CRYING WHICH WAS THIS WEEKEND. I HAVE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME. BUT I ALWAYS SAID ONE OF THESE DAYS JERRON WILL GET OLD ENOUGH AND HE WILL WANT TO STAY WITH HIS GRANNY PEARL ( ME ). SO THIS IS THE FIRST OF MY 52 PIECES.


WE TOOK ALOT OF PICS WHILE WE WERE IN THE LOT SO I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS SLIDESHOW TO GO ALONG WITH MY PIC. THE OLDER LITTLE BOY IN THE SLIDESHOW IS JERRON'S FRIEND AND ELIZABETH MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER.
IT WAS HER FIRST TRIP OVER THERE TOO AND SHE IS ALMOST 26 YRS OLD
