Im back everyone !!!!! for better or worse.. :O)

   Hey everyone!!!!!!!   I'm still alive and kicking lol  

   it's been so long !  Cant believe that it been so long.  I have so much to say or tell you all about.  I built my house and then meet someone very special.   special enough to marry !!    that's a story in itself..   as you all can tell I still ;don't know how to type lol  we added onto the house, will have to download some pictures from the phone.   quite a few.   I and we haven't been on much of a adventure traveling but its been a adventure with each other and the extended family.  The wife has three grown kids and one of them has given us 4 wonderful grand children!!  pictures soon.   

  We have three dogs now, 3 house cats and who knows how many outside barn cats!!  two crazy goats, nigerian dwarfs.  looking to b uy some females to grow the heard..  the two we have are males and I banded them so they are unisexed now lol   male goats stink when they have their dingle berries!!    one of our dogs is a daytime inside dog then it goes out for the night to guard the property.  to bark at the deera, the possums and anything else that it decides that is "dangerous"  lol

 we have been planting a garden each year but some years its been a flop for the most part.  weeds!!!   ugh...  bought some weed fabric and it helps really good but after a few years it starts to get thread bare.  then the weeds get to creeping in..  pictures coming soon.

 My wife lived in kansas city but always liked the idea of living in the country so here she is lol   she's not a big fan of being two hours away from the kids or the grand kids but when we get everything settled in it will get easier for all.   pretty sure we will be seeing the kids more since we added on two bedrooms, another bathroom, family room and what we call a family hall way. its over sized so we can put pictures on the walls and some plant table things so in the winter we can bring in the sensitive ones.   added three closets, one in each bedroom and one in the bathroom.  there's also a north hallway with a north facing door.  its basically a way to get to the cloths line and the furnace room.   had to move the cloths line  yet again, third time is a charm right? lol

 the old rv finally laid down a died.  not the motor but the camper shell itself..  had a leak i didn't know about and it rotted/ got moldy.  it was a sad day when I started taking it apart.   sold the motor and transmission. then took the frig out and saving it.  not sure why, pretty sure the hoarder in me has something to do with that.  took it up to my uncles and he tore the wood parts off and saved the copper and such out of it.  the cab, frame and running gears are still there but going to the junk yard soon.

  we bought a new computer,  can we say learning curve?   I have been kinda technology free except for  a smart phone.  no, I can operate it half the time either.  know what I want to do, I know the phone/computer can do it but again, not computer savvy .....

Patches my traveling cat of 17 years passed away a couple of years ago.  she was a great cat all in all.  she was her own personality lol   I still miss her but I buried her and put crickets ashes in with her.  thought it was fitting..   they lived together all their lifes so now thay are living together for all eternity.  them two kept me save from myself back in the beginning of this blog,  they was my world nad my rock...    will remember them forever...

still have chickens, was selling the eggs to the wife's coworkers but since she has moved here it just hasn't been working out getting eggs up to kansas city.  sorry kc peeps but your probably not going to be getting any eggs.   its been really nice though making money to pay for the chicken feed.  the chickens got thinned out by a bobcat sadly along with some of the cats.  guess thats the circle of country life..  

   Ive been talking to my daughtere again,  :O)  planning on flying up to see her and her family..  We have 5 grandkids from her and so excited to meet them all.  pics will follow lol   they are doing good and living life like the rest of us.  

 so anyway, going to get off here and figure out some othere stuff on this thing.  

really enjoyed talking to you all again.  now that im retired and its winter I will be pestering you all alot more.....:O)
