Got To Meet Two J-Land Friends!

Dear Journal,

What a great day February 6, 2010 turned out to be! My friend, Susan, has a great pyrenese named Lilly. She has been wanting a second one as a pal for Lilly. My J-Land friend, Terrie, had a puppy, Ellie that she wanted to give away. Susan called me and asked me if I would ride to Terrie's with her to pick up the puppy. I was more than happy to because I had never personally met any of my J-Land friends. I sent Terrie a message through Facebook that I would be coming with Susan. When we arrived at Terrie's, Terrie said she had asked Celeste, another J-Land friend, to come over so she could meet me as well. That was an unexpected surprise. I got to see Terrie's goats and meet Jake and Lucy (two of her great pyrenese) and see the roosters and chickens and meet Pat, Celeste's Hubby and Terry's Hubby as well. We stood around talking for a bit (it was freezing in Chicamauga, GA) and our toes were frozen, but I thoroughly enjoyed getting to meet Celeste and Pat, and Terry and her Hubby. Ellie did pretty well on the drive back home. Haven't talked to Susan today to find out how she is adapting, but I hope she is adapting well. She is such a sweet puppy. We had to go over Lookout Mountain to get to Terrie's farm. Did I mention I am PETRIFIED of heights? Nevertheless, it was a beautiful drive. I had forgotten how pretty North Alabama can be. What a wonderful day!

Til next time!

Susan

It is fun when you get to meet one of your blog buddies. I've not met but two of them. But it was great.
Hope the puppy liking it's new transition.

Sounds like you all have a good day. Thanks for commenting in my blog. Yes, I would have loved to meet all three of you. Hope you can get together again sometime. I couldn't have made that long ride with this bad back though. Helen

What fun to get to meet someone ... especially someone from the good ole days of J-land. I miss those journals! I miss the people, I've lost touch with so many of them. =(

Thanks for visiting me via my blog.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MY LOVE!~

Thirty years ago today, October 7, 1978, I was in a white dress and veil walking down the isle to say I do to the love of my life, Donnie. Just months before, I had broken off an engagement with another guy that I had dated for probably 1.5 years. Donnie had also just been through a prior fairly long relationship where there had been talk of marriage. It is at this time of my reminiscing that I am glad that those prayers I prayed to God to be with the one prior to Donnie went unanswered. Donnie, too, had prayed and prayed about being with his prior girlfriend. They had planned to grow old and gray together and he was quite devastated when she broke things off with him, but you see, God had another plan… It started one night when my sister wanted me to go with her to her boyfriend, Melvin’s church to meet a friend of his. She was telling me how goodlooking she thought this guy was and how she felt we would be perfect for each other. I still wasn’t over my boyfriend, but I went along wit...

Tonight...

I have learned why I have pretty much become a hermit and keep to myself. I obviously don't have sense enough to socialize or be in public. I never seem to say the right things. Is there not anybody out there that understands me and won't judge me? Is there anybody I can talk around without fear of saying the wrong thing and being misunderstood? That knows me well enough to know I do not have a mean bone in my body, and that knows I am a good person, a person worth knowing. I am repeatedly told I get too involved. If I do, it's because I care. Why does that always have to be such a bad thing? We went to Wal-Mart today to pick up a few things. My son and daughter were with me. He kept getting on to me for getting in people's way. I was oblivious. They were getting angry with me. It sux to be sick and not have a brain anymore. I will be driving and have blank-outs. Notice I did not say black out, I said blank-out. Everything I know will just leave me, my mind just goes bl...
