EMOM'S MOUNTAIN NEWS posted 1 minute ago  2009*3*24 Mornin’ OBear…….
Ya know, every time I get down in the dumps and just about give up, something really wonderful happens…
Well, kids, get in here and help yourselves to coffee and biscuits and and… Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home. Come on out here on the back porch then and make yourselves ta home … Gonna be another nice day. I need to do some more spring clean up out here but it can wait… Rather spend the time visiting….
Oh yeah… the good stuff!
Well, the itchy sun poisoning and blisters got me down today… really bad… Took an antihistamine which causes me to become drunk, disorderly, and very sleepy… Also causes me to stagger! Did help the itchies tho…
Well, I take to the bed for a while… wake up… the sun is almost down. Out I go to water the trees I planted the other day… Some of my flyguys go over… and I got flashed. I cracked up with the giggles… It’s my fantasy but I think they know I enjoy the play time. I certainly enjoy getting flashed! Maybe ten of them BBSB’s went over… I love it…
I fed and watered the chickyducks… all the while staggering up and down the slope. Here’s Fido at her most appealing!

NNKeith and Mary were out playing in the dirt. I staggered thru the field to visit… Made it there… had a seat outside and Mary brought the kittens out for me to see… AW! So cute! I’m gonna get a boy and girl from each litter.. A calico, a black, and two that have black heads/gray bodies like Siamese (a really exotic color mix)
Well, while we were chatting, sun went down… dark started to settle in and the temp started dropping rapidly. Mary went inside and brought out two of NNKeith’s wood carvings… I’ll take photos of these carvings and get them posted… maybe tomorrow. Beautiful primitive carvings. NNK gave me both of them… GAVE them to me… and trust me I did NOT refuse them… I’ll hang them on the wall by my dream catcher (Also a gift from the heart of one of mine).
Well, what else… Oh yeah! I have a deep purple hyacinth starting to open up.. and finally, after 4 years, a lilac is going to bloom. Yup yup, it is… and the Easter Flowers are blooming all over the place… Even saw a lavender crocus last week. Crab apple out front is loaded with blossoms and so are the peach trees…

Kids, I think Spring is here… Kittens, flowers, 3 baby goats at Anna’s. El says there are 3 more nannies expecting anytime from now to the end of April. I ain’t gonna hold my breath on El’s timing of the goat deliveries…He cost me 25 cents on a bet between Becky and me… Plus a meal… by his poor guesstimate on the birth of some babies.. lolol Will never let him live that down… Need to get the cam down there too… Pretty lil baby goats…
I am still itching like crazy… I will NEVER do this again but it was still worth getting the itchies… It was such a glorious day.
Take care all of mine…. Go in safety always. Remember to look around you and see the beauty of our only home… Mother Earth.
Many hugs and much love … the really purty meems… lololol

Sheesh, let me get one thing out of sequence first thing in the A.M. and it takes me an hour to get straightened out! I walked back to the kitchen 3 times because I left my coffee in the microwave when I opened the back door to let the dogs in/out.
The ‘out of sequence’ part? I rolled out and didn’t put my glasses on. I KNOW where the kitchen is…Sort of…lolol
Anyway kids… welcome home, welcome aboard and make yourself ta home… Think I will be out on the back porch for a while… A glorious sunny day… The sun is up and the temp is rising…
I am already catching gotcha’s from my buddies and pals! The following is from the BossMan! Lolol
Me: Just be thankful I am not your next door neighbor....
The Boss: That is why we have strict zoning laws in Iowa!
Or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/343775-GJ-Family-Reunion
Now here I am… a nice, sweet natured, kind hearted, generous to a fault lil ol lady! Wowser, it is getting deep in here and I think I gonna be sick! Lololol Thank you Boss, love you too but I will get even!
Note to my flyguys! Won’t be outside much for a few days. Lets see … how do I say this… I am allergic to the sun. I’ve been outside a lot the last couple of days. How bout I woke up this morning, face beet red, eyes swollen (I am really cute) and itching like crazy! This situation gives new meaning to the term ‘scarlet woman’!
Oh yeah! Red face… white hair…blue sweats… am I patriotic or what…? Yesterday, I forgot (read chose to ignore) the sun factor…
Spent time waving at my BBSBs.. Bill and Patsy, the previous owners of my home, stopped by… Stood out on the drive and talked to them and caught up on the latest.
Came back in… Anna calls… lolol She has made some Amish bread (OH MY is it yummy) Did I want to run down and pick it up… OH YEAH! She’ll put it in the mail box for me. They are setting seed bed for the baccer… No problem… be right down. Grabbed keys.. Jumped in truck and off down the mountain I went…
Get to Anna’s mail box… there’s two of them… mail box on left has football (?) in it and a couple of other things (no comment here)… Bread was in box on the right… Oh! It smelled so good!
Saw that the family and work hands were down at the barn… so off I go to the barn… Watch while the guys set the seed for the float beds (Green house type set up to keep seeds protected til they sprout and get large enuf to set out) A jar of tobacco seeds cost over $200.
Well, I was in the sun at the barn . I can sit and watch all day while others work! Oh yeah!
Decided it was time to come home…
On the way down the mountain, I had noticed a small cluster of 2 year old white pines on the road right away… The county mows all of these down every so often. Sometimes twice a year.
So on the way home, I decided to take the risk of stopping to dig up a few. (remember, Mr A is still running up and down the road at various times.)
I dug up 4… put the shovel and the trees in the back of the pick-up. Got home… Promptly parked in the back. Got out and planted the saplings… Still in the sun, mind you.
Watered the new plantings… Waved down a black pick-up…Thot it was NNKeith… lolol Wasn’t NNKeith…lolol Was a complete stranger! New to the area. (What do I know about makes and models of vehs? Zilch!) Oh dear…
Well, talked to Alvin for a half hour or so… Seems like a nice guy… does odd jobs and maybe… I’m checking him out and just maybe…
I best be getting busy… Truck is still in the back… Jessie is coming over in a bit… I’m not dressed yet, still in my old plaid robe… but I do have my teeth in! lolol
Later all of mine… take care and go in safety always… Remember to remind me to stay out of the sun…from now til winter it is out early in the day… out late in the day! Nothing in the middle!
Many hugs and much love… The very sunburned meems… 
2009*3*20 0736edt Wonders will never cease! I am up and stirring – the 6P+ are all still down and out! I even made it down the hall to the kitchen without doing my normal ‘broken field’ running. LOLOL Coffee is now being served. So get your buns in here, warm up (28 deg out there) and visit for a spell. Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home! Everybody comfy? Good! Cause I gotta tell ya about the event of the day! Nothing major but just kind of interesting. Went down to feed and water the chickyducks…Was late Wednesday afternoon… Anyway, I unlock the gate and go into pen… Decide to have Newbie come in with me. Let him check out the two legged critters and see how he behaved… Fido, btw, has developed a limp… Well, Newbie was fine… plopped his buns down and just watched… Chickyducks weren’t too sure about this critter being in their home territory… lololol Well, they settled down… so I thot I’d let another of the 6P+ in. Ok… no problem with the Spud but the chickyducks were up in wings so to speak. 
or view www.eons.com/photos/photo/347073-SILKY-HEN I did the shoo/out thing with the Spudley… and before I could close the gate, in comes a white fuzzy streak of trouble… the Viva herself! Ooopsie, the chickyducks are in a full fledged panic. (Can’t say I blame em)… So I close them in on the safe side of the enclosure. I cannot get the white fuzzy out of the front section… She has discovered a large nest of unfertilized duck eggs. (yes, Fido is a girl duck) Oh man! Viva broke one of the eggs and did it stink… So did she for that matter… Yucky pucks! Me, being the wise woman I am, decided on discretion instead of authority in this case. I left the gate open to the front section of the pen and started hustling my buns up the hill to the house. Naturally, having the tendency to go off at a tangent with no notice at all, I promptly forgot all about the eggs, dogs and the gate being open… The back door was open… Was coolish in the house but that’s ok… I had more than enuf clothes on to keep me warm… Phone rings. It’s Anna… (God love her, she checks on me every day) Making sure I am not into some kind of trouble… I think she knows me too well! Lolol Anyway, while we are talking, I turn to the left and catch a glimpse of sumfin on the floor. Light colored… Oh gee! It’s a very dirty, very large duck egg… I’ve come within a hair of putting a foot on it! I tell Anna and she cracks up… Between the hysterical fits of laffter, she manages to tell me to carefully pick up egg and take it out doors. OK, I can do that… She explains that the egg can break on it’s own if it is rotten and gets too warm after being frozen. Now there’s a thought. OMG! That’s all I need! A rotten and broken egg in the house… Sheesh… How DID the egg get in here? The only ones in the house at the time were the three smallest of the 6P+. There is no way any one of them could have carried that egg in their mouths… they don’t juggle that I know of… Well, though, I could be wrong… stranger things have happened around here. I think I goofed last nite… I think I accidentally blocked Eons email notifications and I don’t know how to unblock it… Oh dear… anybody? Help? Boss… KK… help? I am outa here before I get into anymore trouble… need to get this self created mess with the email straightened out.. Take care all of mine.. Go in safety always. Remember not to hit the wrong keys/buttons on the board… strange things will follow… This I can attest to! Many hugs and much love… meems

Afternoon all! I know I am late again!
How bout I rolled out this mornin and kept right on rolling?!? Oh yeah! Vertigo attacked! Yes, it did! Been a long while since I’ve had one of these.
Remember last year when I took the antihistamine for the tick bites? Drunk and disorderly me and the chair gave way and I fall down go boom? Well, it’s the same sort of feeling.
Well, the six pack plus wanted out… Maxfield was bouncing on my side… Ophie was in kitchen squalling at the top of her lungs…OUTSIDE!
I haul my buns out of the bed… grab the bed post and hang on… the ‘ship’ is trying to dump me overboard. I am listing toward starboard. Well, by hanging on to strategically placed furniture, I manage to make it to the hall!
Down the hall I go… woozy with the ‘swimhead’ (that’s what they call the dizzies down here) I hang onto door frames, the wall paper (there ain’t none) and the light switches. (I sure would have hated to try the DUI roadside tests at that moment! No way would I have passed)
Get to kitchen… kitchen is easy to navigate… all kinds of stuff in there to guide my way.
Made it to the back door…Propped storm door open and was promptly inundated by 4 legged critters… in/out, out/in.
Tried for the coffee pot… Got there… warmed a cup… and headed back to the apartment. Ya know, when you are that addled, you can only keep your mind on one thing at a time. Left foot, right foot, steady, move supporting hand forward, repeat…It helps to look at coffee occasionally. Do NOT move head rapidly in any direction…
I MADE IT! Plopped my buns in my swinging chair… took two sips of coffee… said the heck with it and went back to bed!
The 6PP wanted a goody… sorry, kids… not right now… Getting older is a blast on one side and can also be a real bummer on the other.
I think that’s gonna be it for now… Marv is grumping at me. The brat tried to bribe me into being nice to him…. Sent me two cans of Lobster Bisque in a box as big as the 12 pack of Pepsi…Well, after pondering a bit on this new item to my diet, I gathered up my courage and decided to try it.
Does anybody remember the live lobster the Marv shipped by Grayhound bus lines and the disaster that turned into? Lololol BTW, they are still looking for the shipper of the live but soon deceased lobster…
Well, by gollies, the bisque was delicious! Delicate flavor… smelled yummy! And I ate it up all gone. Oh yeah… Saving the second can for a rice dish…
Back in a few… Flyguys buzzing…lololol What a bunch of brats… lolol
Well, I saw contrails… beautiful cloud formationtions… Three hawks … two males courting a magnificent female… I saw a deer on the hillside opposite the front… I am so blessed…
Later all of mine… take care… go in safety always. Remember to have your sea legs under you at all times… and if you don’t, stay on the starboard side..
Many hugs and much love…The slightly addled emom…lolol
PS
KK is having all kinds of puter slowdowns… The Boss man must be outside playing in the dirt getting ready for spring/summer.
I know I was outside most of yesterday… Moved a couple of purple plum saplings to the east side of the back yard.
2009*3*18 1134edt… Mornin’ all. Gonna be a gorgeous day today! Oh yeah… Almost 60 degrees and sunny. Flyguys have already started up there… Air is too dry for the contrails to last but I did get flashed this morning… lolol I gotta tell ya… that I have started playing with the paper work for Publisher’s Clearing House’s contest… lololol I could or may end up a gazillionare if I can just figure out what I am supposed to do! I don’t normally do this kind of stuff but I do look at the junk they sell… Curiosity gets me into a lot of trouble, doncha’ know? Lolol Does anybody else do this kind of stuff? Oh and I gots ta tell ya all that I got a dollar bill in yesterday’s mail… from a survey company! Lolol Yup, a whole dollar bill! I cracked up! I’m gonna do my level best to not spend it all in one place! However, a dollar is still a dollar and it just might buy me a tooth pick! I received a call from the survey company last nite… First of all, I want to know how they knew I had already gotten the dollar? Secondly, where did they get my name? My phone number? Do ya suppose Publisher’s sold my name? Is this getting too complicated? Nice young man on the phone call… I cracked up again… poor guy, I could tell by his voice he was reconsidering this job that he had taken on. Wanted to know if I was over 16 yoa?… Do I listen to radio? Was I the only one living here? Had to ask if the 6 pack plus counted… Was I Asian? African American? 
or view www.eons.com/photos/photo/490030-LILYPUTZ-ON-THE-DRIVE Well, I checked with the Lilyputzer… asked her the above questions and relayed the answers to the young man on the phone! Yup… Does the TV channel count as radio? Nope, I have the 6 pack plus one…nope and nope… By this time, I am in hysterics… OMG! This was too much fun… ‘Can I send you the booklet?’ (the survey) Sure. ‘you will send it back?’ Sure. Now, I am not for certain if survey company is sending one or two survey books to be filled out. The young man asked if there was any one here 12 or older… I think I mentioned Lily… but I am not sure if she is twelve or not… You know how bad I am with numbers. Note: Please do NOT take this as the normal way to respond to surveys. For your own safety dear hearts, tell the caller right up front, you are NOT interested then hang up! Do NOT give them your name or phone number or any other personal info! I really stress… Hang up! Like I said earlier, sun is out and so am I… Gonna play in the dirt a bit… take some photos before the Easter Flowers are gone… Take care all of mine.. Go in safety always… Remember to do something ridiculous every day… this will keep your ego in check and your feet on the ground. Lolol Hugs and much love… the always up to no good meems
2009*3*17 1113edt Mornin’ everybody.. welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home. Come on in, grab a cup of coffee or sumfin… help yourselves. Good people here.. enjoy the company… and DO look out for the dogs! Man, I’m telling ya.. (wait, let me see if KK is within hearing distance) Ok, coast seems to be clear. I hate dogs… KK says, I am not allowed! Well, I’m here to tell you the kitchen is more than a disaster now! Guess which one of the six pack plus got into the dried Elephant Ear bulbs? Had em in a basket under the kitchen work table where I knew they would stay dry and be out of the way. Was I wrong or what!?! Lolol Twice now, a pup who shall remain nameless (but her initials begin with Viva) has gotten into those bulbs and drug them out of the basket… Out onto the kitchen floor… tossing dirt and scales all over the place… Playing her own style of basketball! OMG! I could plant a garden in the kitchen at the moment! By the way, Viva no longer fits in the small critter carrier. I have another 20 ½ months of this to look forward to! Sheesh… Raising her is like raising a lab puppy… what they don’t think of to get into isn’t to be thot of! Did I say that right? Well, I sure you get the idea. 
view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/490038 Now, this week-end was sumfin else too… Jessie came over and collected this old bod and off we went to go shopping… Grocery shopping, to the drugstore, to the junk stores, the Tobacco Shed… Subway for sammiches and the dollar store… lolol Went looking for anyplace open.. Even tho they don’t have the old ‘Blue Laws’ down here in KY anymore, they might as well have. Very little around here is open on a Sunday. Let’s see, the telephone found its way home from the pond… My left ear is about to fall off… and I am certainly not getting anything accomplished! Long lovely warm naps are all I can think about right now. I was worn to a frazzle after the Sunday trip.. Even tho it’s a beautiful day out there, I am gonna go cover diving for a while… Later all of mine… Take care, go in safety always…Remember to enjoy your friends… they will make you laff … and if you are careful, you won’t get arrested… Many hugs and much love… meems
EMOM'S MOUNTAIN NEWS posted 1 minute ago 2009*3*13 1213est
Ok, I can see what kind of day this is gonna be! Phone has been ringing since 0730est. Rolled me out of bed it did… and the little ones grumbled and grumped about the disturbance at this ungodly hour of the morning!
We had 3 to 4 inches of sleet, freezing rain and snow starting around 1700est yesterday! Ended sometime over nite. Dogs were not happy about the ground cover either! Lolol
The phone now resides in the deepest darkest recesses of the slushy half frozen pond! I wish…lololol Five calls in less than two hours…
Had several visits from the NNKeith (new neighbor Keith). He has a line strung between my place and his temporarily until the electric company gets his electric installed. Line shorted out overnite sometime because of the weather. (Reset breaker.)
Phone calls…. One was a bolo for a guy in dressed in black pants and black hoodie. Rogue prowler in the area… possibly more than one… Whoever this guy is, was looking at Jessie thru her kitchen window…before dark, mind you. Jess grabbed the shot gun and went flying out her front door… Dogs were coming at a roar from the barn…. Guy beat feet down the road and around the bend… The telegraph says Lots of B&E’s around the town area… Taking those big new updated TV’S and jewelry.
Found out that there is someone living in a lean-to on the hill opposite the front of the house. Must have been the applauder from the other day! Gives one to ponder… One thing for sure, I ain’t alone; I ain’t bored up here… and to think I was worried about being bored!
Running late, need a nap and I am headdin’ for the beddin’.. lolol
Take care all of mine.. go in safety always.. Remember to watch out for Black Hoodies and slippery spots.
Hugs and much love to all … The weather sleepy meems 
PS! To my rotten brat of a flyguy! Couldn’t see ya but ya rattled my coffee mug again! Lolol
EMOM'S MOUNTAIN NEWS posted 1 minute ago 2009*3*11 1424est
Well, kids, purty days are gone for a few… Cloudy here and in the high 40’s. Chilly breeze too.
Been on the phone all morning… had a serious problem crop up…a safety issue. Have taken care of the situation as best I can for the time being.
Well, I gotta tell ya.. The Viva has disappeared with my shoes! My comfy Mickey Mouse shoes! Found the one on the back porch. Surprise, surprise, not damaged…
Now I can’t find the other one! Well, Ratz… I just might be able to find it if is still inside the county limits! LOLOLOL Wish me luck on this one!
Later all of mine… hugs and much love… meems
PS. To my ornery flyguy… you rattled the coffee mug today! Lolololol I will get even! lolol
