A dying art........

I do believe there are a few men left in this world that are actually gentlemen. What happened to the good old days when a man would hold your chair, open the door for you, carry your bag and allow you to walk in front of him? It’s a dying art I tell ya! I have several male friends and they are all true gentlemen. One friend is very much a gentleman and you never would of guessed it with his long hair:) This man opens every door, carries all the bags, lets me order first and always made sure I was safe. Today I watched a gruff biker that was in front of me in traffic that would reach back and hold onto his ladies leg when he was gonna gun it. It made my heart sing! A simple action but one that spoke loudly! I bet he is a true gentleman. The other day I was meeting a friend for lunch and arrived early so I sat in my car texting and catching up on paperwork. I was blown away that in a 30 minute time frame 4 gentlemen came over to see if I needed any assistance. Gives me hope chivalry is making a comeback. Do you think they have any idea how utterly sexy it is? Should we tell em ladies? Naw, then it wouldn’t mean as much. I have always taught my son to be a gentleman. He opens the door for all the ladies, including his mamma and always allows the women to go first. Hopefully he will grow into a real gentleman! To those men who display this sexy trait I say a big Thank You, you sexy thing for making us girls feel special for just a little while. Maybe the rest can come sit on the back porch with me listening to the waterfall as we are trying to figure it out……

Madly in love.......

How did I live without you for so long? I am madly in love! With my house.. lol. At first I wasn’t all that in love with her but the kids were happy and felt at home. Day after day I fall a little more in love with her..yes it’s a her, there is no way a male could be this comforting:) I could sit in my back yard forever. The yard is completely secluded from the neighbors~yes I have ventured out there with not much on just because I could! It feels as though I am in the mountains next to a stream. Everyone that comes over winds up back there. I was planning on getting a Hummingbird feeder to attract them until I found they love the flowering vine that has grown up my chimney and are there already. The Bluebirds bath in the pond and Im sure there is a squirrel or two out there. Sara, Zach and I have spent many nights cooking together in the kitchen then lounging in the front room. Now as for that tub……..OMG! It’s a jetted tub for 2. I grab a good book, a fresh cocktail and jam those jets. I may not be able to solve the world problems, but that tub sure washes them away for awhile. I finally feel at home, my home:) The kids are again hangin out at my house. The sound of them laughing or just lining up for dinner is pure magic to my ears!! Home, home is where I can be who I am and feel great doing it. All are welcome at my home, this home, the home where I am just trying to figure it out….

The best friend ever

Today I lost the best friend I ever had!!! My Sugar Pie has been with me for almost 15 years. Sugar loved me unconditionally and I loved her in return. She didn’t care if I gained a few pounds or if I didn’t have any make up on. Hell all I had to do was be there and she was happy. What will I do without her? Who is gonna just “know” when Im feeling down or uncertain? She always did! If I was struggling, there was my Sug. She would snuggle up against me and give me kisses. She just was ALWAYS there watching and waiting for my attention. Sugar didn’t really have anything to do with my Dad until he got cancer. The day Dad came home from the hospital Sugar took her spot next to him and stayed until Dad was cancer free. On nights when the kids didn’t feel well Sug would either sleep in bed with them or stay in their room just keeping an eye on them. Her motherly love included everyone. We took in some orphaned Ducks one time and she tried to nurse them. She tried to mother and love everything. I will never find another companion that will take such good care of me. You were the best my Sugar Pie!!! You will live in my heart and thoughts forever……
