You know that pondering tilt of the head a person gives a work of art they’ve just completed? Writing about your life is that exactly. You step back, pick up your paint brush, apply a dab of compassion here, a brush stroke of flair over there. Putting your life on canvas allows you to see what your life looks like through the eyes of others.
Going Granny (actually my grandkids call me Nanny) is my best achievement yet! Here’s a phone message my barely two-year grandgirl left for me on my 58th b-day. I guarantee it; this will make your day.
Woooohoooooo, Betsy! You might want to rustle up some cattle with these purdy babies. Our staff photographer, Louise, was mucking about in the pasture today, taking photos of the cows, when she brought back with her the wonderful ode-de-manure. You know you’re a farmgirl when you … inhale deep, and the words “brown gold” come to mind.
The chicks are here! Farmgirl extraordinaire, Kim, and my husband, Nick, have them all tucked into the back of our henhouse.
Sandi says: That little chickie made my day! The cutest thing EVER.
maggie says: How wonderful……………………………..I once took a city Girl home with me in college, she was adopted from Romania. While we were driveing I noted a fence rail was down & a few Holstiens has escaped the fence . When I steppped out of the car to put them back in she screamed they will Kill you hahaha…of course I reassured her they were docile creatures & shooed them right back in. After that I knew what we had to do for the rest of the weekend so I took her to Grandaddy’s to see the Farm & all the animals putting all her fears to rest.
Kimberly says: Two cute chicks!
