Well I sold Mom's car today. I have had it as my main transportation since 04 when Mom passed away. We finally bought an 06 Nissan Frontier with only 8,000 miles on it and it is my dream vehicle so Mom's car has to go since I have no use for it. It (Mom's car) is a 95 Ford Contour maroon color with automatic tranny, air and no other bells or whistles. I have always hated how low it sits since I had double knee replacement surgery and hip replacement too so it is hard for me to stand up from that car and even to sit down in it. I just drop into the seat and pray I don't fall through the floor onto the ground and end up all folded up on the ground under the car. That would not be this Mom's best day that's for sure!!!!!!!!!

The gal that bought the car paid half down on it and will pay it off by working in my yard and house for me. I will not let her take the car till she gets it paid off. With only 60,000 miles on it that car has a lot to give her.

I started weeding around the koi pond and got a portion of that done but pooped out before I got the part done that I gave myself as my chore for the day. Guess I thought I could bite off more than I could chew which tends to be the norm for me since all the surgeries lowered my speed from{ full steam ahead into ---pour the coals into this old gal, she is about half dead but she is trying to start}.

Hubby called and will be home tomorrow night. I guess I have to clean the living room tonight from my craft project I was working on in there. He isn't appreciative of when I have stuff on (his) chair and right now it is not only on that chair but on the floor, the couch, a card table and the coffee table.

Life is good!

Muddled Meanderings

Today I started a blog. I don't know for sure where I will go with this but I can be sure to put plenty of my pictures of flowers and hostas. I am a hostaholic along with an itch that I call Ponditis. I always itch to have more and more ponds, so far we have two including a half acre natural pond that measures about 70 feet wide by 275 feet long and it is in our front yard.

My hubby of 35 years and I enjoy working on our yard together and sometimes we even get a project done!!!!!! Most of our projects remain unfinished till we have the money or the equipment or the energy to continue on to the finish line with them. Our health issues too have dug into a lot of not finishing things but we persevere and eventually finish them. We tend to be calm and collected about everything in our lives which is a good thing, we think. I wouldn't want to be a type A person and try to be me.

We have horses, mini horses, sheep, a steer for our freezer, 3 GIANT dogs, 2 little dogs, 19 year old cat, koi fish, goldfish, tons and tons of blue gill, some catfish, unknown other fish, muscovy ducks, and hopefully soon Sebastopol geese. We are pet, pond and hosta poor much of the time. We truly enjoy life to the fullest and plan on some traveling when hubby retires next year.

Life is good.
