Good morning everyone. Still house hunting for Forrest. Can't wait till they get here. It's been cold here the last week can't believe I call 50 cold but think I've became a Floridian all of a sudden. Brrrrrr... what a wooos but it does feel cold. I remember feeding my horse at 2 below with wet hair and not feeling this cold. Funny how the body changes isn't it??? Almost turkey day and guess we are going to Robert's moms house for Thanksgiving. No cooking for me which means no left overs bummer how am I suppose to make homemade turkey and noodles I always make that. Hmmmm guys that will have to wait until Christmas. No ham for this girl besides they don't have good hams here like we did in Oregon. And can you believe no big hunk candy bars here Robert didn't even know what they were till we went to Oregon for vac. Deb hooked us up guess I'll have to send to Oregon for some cause they are gooooddd. Ah the simple pleasures. Anyway have a wonderful day and keep warm...lol

So its Saturday and we have been searching craigs list for a house for Forrest and Stacey found about too many wow theres alot of houses out there. Rent isnt too bad here like 800 for a 2 bdrm which I guess they could handle. I'm still way excited and can't wait to see them again. Sad thing is no time off during Christmas which is when they will be here. But oh well will have plenty of days off to enjoy them. Stacey said she will miss a white Christmas so I guess we will have to take them to the beach white sand Christmas guess that will do. I know what Deb is talking about in her blog about the retail holidays they start all too soon. Geez we are already getting swim suit and shorts in probably for the spring break season. Course I guess here a swim suit would be a good Christmas present right?? We do have very beautiful beaches here . Stacey came to visit me not long after I got to Florida and we went to the beach. I was so amazed by how white the sand was and how blue the water was and warm oh my gosh it feels like a pool. I said out loud look how pretty the ocean is here and was informed by a man passing by that it wasn't the ocean its the gulf of Mexico. Well it looks like the ocean to me..... my bad!!!!! Talk about bursting my bubble still call it the ocean though so there man on the beach!!!!!!!!So it is what it is I guess. If you can't see any land out there it must be an ocean right? Its salty aren't oceans salty???? Puzzles me....... Oh well huh! well have a wonderful day and talk at you soon

So, I found out last night some very good news!!!!! Forrest and his lil family are moving to st pete next month. Yahoo kid grandkids and daughterinlaw. So they will be looking for jobs on line and will get a place when they get here. That makes me a very happy girl. Now thats 4 down and the rest of you can follow right???? Glad you are up and running Randy train train train..... Well gotta get off to work land just wanted everyone to know my news love you all and have a good day

FEELIN A BIT HOMESICK TODAY

Hi everyone its voting day and I'm really wondering who will it be. Its a cloudy day here today and probably why I'm feelin a lil down. I really want to go home with my family see everyone hug my grandkids that are growing up way to fast. Don't get me wrong I love my life here with the most awesome husband a girl could ask for but I miss everyone back home. Never really thought I'd miss Oregon but thats where my roots are and I guess getting all of you to move here is out of the question and I'm desparately trying to make my transfer happen but, then I wonder if we move back to Oregon is Robert gonna be happy after all this is where everyone and everything hes ever known is. Is that fair??? Is there a happy medium somewhere? And Randy and Karen are like half a world from me hmmmm.... gotta get us all together somehow. And I miss my dog I should of taken him with me when I left poor baby he must just hate me. Bucky a big 120 lb black lab that was the baby of our chocolate lab that we got the day bj died. Hes really a very special dog to me and he was by my side through everything I was going through and was always so there for me. I wonder sometimes if he seen me now would he still remember me??? I probably would steal him if I got the chance but, no I guess I couldn't do that since he hasn't been with me for 3 years now. He actually could say momma believe it or not and he always sat and watched out the window for me to come home. Booohooo I'm a mean mom. Then I think what rights has Randy got to have anything that was mine but I guess it all comes down to I gave up all my rights when I left which I wouldn't change for anything. I think maybe a little bit of anger is coming out RODE TO RECOVERY!!!!!!!!! One can only hope. Anyway have a wonderful day and don't forget to hug your dog today.
