A God Thing

A God Thing.

I am seeing more and more of his hand work and ways.  Last night we discovered that our one female golden Gracie is pregnant!!!  We are so happy.  She was breed to our new golden male Alex.   We want this so bad.  You see both dogs are service dogs.  We have 2 families we want to help out with their puppies.  The both have children with special needs, where a service dog can help out.   My daughters and I train service dogs. 

Last night Tammy and her hubby one of the parents prayed that Gracie was going to have puppies.  That was night we discovered she was.  See a God thing.

Another was they were looking for a new place to have the children with special needs to ride horse.  Another God thing, because we have been praying about that for over a year.  See another God thing.

God sure is a great.  He puts us together to help one another.

God Bless, mj

Here piggy ,piggy, Kristi and Ee

I am sharing pictures of Kristi and her pet sow Ee.  Ee is from our old sow Tuna.  Kristi picked Ee out as soon as she was born.  She told us with her cute little smile and batting her eyelashes " this is my baby".   With that cute look how could we say no.   Her brother begged Kristi so much to let him have her, but Kristi held firm on it, NO!!

This is Kristi and Ee when Ee was about 3 weeks old:

Don't they look cute!!

Here is Ee on her 1st birthday.  Kristi made her a birthday cake :

Here is Kristi playing with Ee at night:

Here is a head shot of Ee next to Kristi:

Kristi hurt her knee one day and the Dr told her no horse back riding for 2 weeks.  So what does she do??? See for your self :

A real piggy back ride!!  We took a picture to show her Dr. her "New ride".   Our Dr. knowing our family ( a bunch of smart butts, Dr. is also one)  just laughed and went around showing the nurses and other Dr.'s her new ride!!!

Here is Ee's mom Tuna:

Last we have some of Ee's puppies (babies I every baby a puppy)

One more. This is Ee with her children Tommie and Heffa:

We still have Ee and Tommi , but we sold Heffa to a neighbor.  We did not have enough room in our freezer for her.

Thanksgiving funnies

Here a few cute Thanksgiving funnies my mom sent me.

Have a blessed day, mj

Thanksgiving Blessing

Thanksgiving is a day to see and share Gods blessing with others.   I love when we sit down to dinner and we each share what we are thankful for, it is such a humbling experience.  I love to hear what others have to say.

For us girls it is a double blessing hubby/daddy cooks dinner!!   Hubby is a awesome cook!!!  I just love my/our day off!!  We do the dishes for him.   I just love hubby's cooking.  He is the one who taught me how to cook.

This year we will be having over my mother-in-law, her hubby my step-father-in-law, hubby's cousin, grandma, and maybe my father-in-law.    This will be grandma's last Thanksgiving.   We all think she is holding on to see this day.  Grandma is looking forward to her grandson cooking her dinner.  Grandma is getting worse every day. She will not be here on earth much longer.

I pray that you all have a blessed day tomorrow.  Please enjoy each other.  Do not let every day trouble be there.  Let it go and enjoy Gods love. 

God Bless you all, mj

Christmas gifts, I saved a bundle

I found a great deal on a few Christmas gifts.   The coupon mom sent an e-mail out to people about a dinner deal.   The deal was you had to pick out as many restaurants as you would like and buy gift certificates to.  The normal price is $10.00 for a $25.00 certificate.  But the sale price was $2.00 for a $25.00 certificate.  So it ended up that I paid $24.00 for $300.00 worth of gift certificates.  What a deal.   We got them for a nice steak house.

We think it is a nice gift.  We got 2 for Michelle and Gill cost $4.00 for $50.00.   We got 2 for my husbands brother and his wife cost $4.00 for $50.00 .   We got 2 for my sister and her husband cost is $4.00 for $50.00.  We got 1 for our 4-H horse leader as a thank you for all her help, cost is $2.00 for $25.00.  And we have 1 left for $25.00 that cost $2.00.

You guys might want to look into this site of the coupon moms.  We think it is a nice gift to give.   What parents does not like a nice dinner out for free????  And what a deal.  Today we all are trying to save money and still have a nice Christmas.  We did that for a few people.   We need to keep our eyes open to great deals that the family we love.

God Bless, mj

What is wrong with some people

What is wrong with some people??  I am talking about this comment left by someone.

you need to call Gill and his parents yourself. Why are you leaving it up to your DD. Is the man who did this your ex husband? God I hope not!!! How could mother let this happen?

Here is what I have  to say.

1. Is Michelle is a big girl and able to make her own choices.  If she wants to lie more to Gill and his family , so be it.  We all know when you lie too much you can not keep up with them all.  And when they all find out how much will they trust her?    That is why I am leaving it up to her.  If she does some thing stupid to the babies safety we will step in.

2. Yes, he is my ex-husband.  I had to marry him to keep Michelle.  My parents would not let me other wise.  We were separated when she was 1 year old.

3.  How could a mom let that happen??  What the heck kind of comment was that??  It was the California courts that failed her.  The molestation happened when she was on a court ordered visit.  So how was I letting it happen ??  When we found out the police did nothing, the courts did nothing!  I had to take Michelle and My newborn daughter Shayna into hiding until the courts did some thing. My husband spent over a half million dollars over 13 years to keep her safe.  I was in court for 13 years trying to keep her away from him and his family who kidnapped her 5 times.  I did not let this happen to her, I fought my butt off for her!!!  For 13 years I fought. I can not controlled what he did on his visits before he lost them.  As neither could any mom who's ex-husband has visitation with their child.  He had his visitation for almost 3 years before he molested her.   The courts failed to protect her, not me.  He was found guilty of molesting her ,nothing ever happened to him.  His mother was found guilty of kidnapping again nothing.  We could not even redo the restraining order because his mother did not physically harm her( no cuts, broken bones and such), she just mentally harmed her. 

For you who ever you are left such a rude comment. How dare you judge me with out knowing the facts.  I gave just a few now.  If you want to take it out on some one why not the courts??  They did not protect my daughter nor are they protecting the others he is around by NOT having him register as a sex offender. 

Take it up with them!! No me a mom who fought as hard as she could to protect her daughter.  I started in court in 1990, I was done in court in 2003 and half million dollars lighter to boot.

I feel that people should not be able leave anonymous comments.  Sorry for my normal readers if I seem rude , I am just mad. 

Sorry just venting, mj

Grandma is dying

We are going to go see Shannon's (my hubby) grandmother in the morning.  We went to see her about 2 weeks ago.  We did not think she would make it this long but she has.

Grandma will be 82 years old on Monday.  She has been going down hill for the last year.  Only 5 % of her heart is working.

I am going to miss her.  I love to hear her tell of the good old days.  She talks of the times when her and her hubby grew food to feed the family because they could not afford to other wise.

To hear of how the went from town to town picking veggies and fruit. To the lessons her mother taught her. How they survived all this hardship and still helped other out.

We all feel blessed to have her as long as we do/did.  The start of this year the Dr.'s told us to see her because she will not last much longer.   Grandma is still here.  We are even more blessed because we got a picture with grandma and 5 generations!!  Our grand babies made the 5th generation.

Mom called us to tell us she is much worse and passing out today.  So we will go see her. Mom says grandma will be here for a few more days, she thinks.

The world is a much sadder place when we lose people with such history that they can and do share with us.  When the world was a nicer place, people cared and helped each other out even when they had nothing them selves. 

I miss my grandparents.  My grandfather went home almost 14 years ago and my grandma went home 6 years ago.  I loved to sit a listen to them tell me about the good old days.

God Bless, mj

Prayer need for the grand babies bad!!

I am in need of prayer for the grand-babies.   Michelle went to Vegas to pick up the grand-babies.  She took Gill and his parents.   They were to meet my father but he is the hospital  because his liver is not working. 

What we need prayer is because  Michelle's father is coming to Vegas to see the babies.  Michelle's father molested her and more.  We were in court for 14 years with him.  He was found guilty but, nothing happened to him , no jail , nothing.  His mother kidnapped Michelle 5 times too.  Again nothing happened

Michelle has never told Gill or his parents about that.  So in the morning Michelle father is going to meet them and be around the grand-babies.   I would not mind so much if Michelle told Gill and his parents the truth about him.  Not here is my dad.

To me I see then meeting just Michelle's father.  Not the man who took her childhood away.  The man we were in court for almost 14 years with trying to keep her safe.

Yes, I know she is an adult, she can make her own choices.  But when it comes to the babies that is different.  She wants to send the babies to stay with him for 2 weeks.  The babies are 2 & 3 years old. They can not protect themselves from him.

I asked Michelle if they know the truth and she gets mad.  I feel that they need to know the truth and then decide for themselves.

Please pray for the grand-babies to be safe and that Michelle does not let him see them alone.

God Bless, mj

It's a wonderful life

I love the movie It's a wonderful life.  How a bout you?   I love the love story, faith, how people help one another out.   What made me and my best friend Janet laugh was how much the price of a home was.  In the movie they talked about a home costing $5000.00 !!  For some people that is just a monthly payment not the total price of a new home!!

What happened to those days??  When a neighbor cared and help out a neighbor??  When you broke down (cars) people would help.  Where you would share you blessing more, like the extra in your garden.  Where people really respected each other.  When it was safer for children to be children.  What do we have for the kids today?  On t.v we have sex, drugs, drinking violence , porn.  Do you know that some underwear adds would have been porn back then??  What happened???  We need to go back to stronger values , to what is really important.  God , family , friends, others.

Bring back the good old days......

God Bless, mj
