Timber...


Timber...there she falls! Trees were moving and shaking from the sight of Hubs' John Deer tractor. It is a mighty might as far as a small tractor goes.

Yesterday was an eventful day. Hubs has been working in the back removing dead trees to burn. I go outside to find that he has turned the tractor on its side. Thankfully he was not hurt. This was a site to see. I didn't have a battery pack for my camera, so no pictures of this event.

I am sure that today he will be the talk of his work place and that he will take a lot of ribbing from this. He called some friends from work and they came and got the tractor up right.

Hubs has not been very lucky as of late. Let's see, last year before we moved here, he was cutting down a dead pine tree when it broke off and marked his forehead with a Z like Zorro. Forty stitches later. Then a couple of weeks ago he is moving trees again and one small tree falls on his forehead. No stitches this time, but it did knock him unconscious. I did not know about because I was inside the house. I ask him if the dogs licked him in the face or tried to rescue him. No such luck.




Let's hope that he has a good week with no accidents.

The men in my life

Growing up, I could count on one hand the number of men that I trusted with my life. These few men have made a profound difference in my life. Yes, I do have trust issues because of my childhood. I have safety issues; I have never felt safe my entire life. I have abandonment issues because people I love either died or left me. I would like to say thank you to these amazing men for loving me. It did not go unnoticed. Here is my short list.

My grandfather (dead)
My third step-father, (dead)
My husband (alive and has not left me yet, after all these years)
My father-N-law (dead)
My sons #1 (alive) #2(alive)


Men I don't trust:

My daddy (dead)
Stepfather #2 (dead)
stepfather #4 (alive)
My husband's brother (dead)
Men my mother dated (creeps)
Judges
Doctors
Lawyers
Used car salesmen
Door to door solicitors
Strangers
Men
