Thanksgiving Fun
Bridges Thanksgiving 2009
Once again, my Martha Helen cooked a fabulous meal. It was so good and we enjoyed it so much! Thanks for all the hard work!!!
Happy Birthday Lynn
Happy Birthday to my sister, who is next to me in age!!! I hope you have a great day. I know you all of you will be traveling, I will pray for a safe trip. Sister’s are the best and I have been blessed with three of them! Love you all! I just made a chocolate cake for you, since this is a big birthday….beginning with the number 5….! It is a special day. Kylie and I called her this morning an sang Happy Birthday. We were the first to wish her blessings for her special day. We have always had the best time together, well….not always, let’s be honest. But, more good than bad! We can always laugh at thing’s and no one else will know why we are giggling. I mean, it is like we know what the other is thinking without saying a word. She has always been good at keeping herself composed, how does she do that??? I do not know. She could actually control her gigglies, if she needed too. Once I loose it…its over, I may as well excuse myself from the scene! Which I have had to do more times than I could ever count. She is a great big sis and I love her and miss her so much. We love to talk on the phone to each other when we can. We can tell each other anything and not worry about what the other thinks about it, just unconditional love! Thanks for all the great times Lynn. I love you and am thankful I was blessed with you as a sister!!! Here are a few pictures of the cake which almost caught fire from all of the candles!!! The new cake recipe was not all that great! Sorry Lynn!!! I will return to a tried and true recipe next time!!!
A New Bed Spread
A couple of weeks ago, I was in Kohls. I saw a spread that I liked. It was a light green and taupe. I brought it home and after a few days later…just laid it on top of my other spread. Hmmm…..it did not look so well in our room. I walked out, came back a few hours later, still did not like it, took it off the bed for now. Let the girls check it out…they liked it, WB liked it. But , he lets me tend to the house decor, of course he would say that he liked it…he loves me, so he might tell a little white tale if he has too! We all do it, not even thinking about it…if we do not want to hurt feelings…hmmm…whole nother topic! I love him. All though, that is probably not the best idea either! He knew I did not love it. If I am going to buy it, I need to love it…..it is going to be with me for a while!
I saw another spread Sunday that I liked, so I took the other one back, pillows and all! I felt so much better after returning that spread. I purchased the other one and like it much more!!! But am I in love with it??? Who knows!!! I think the rest of the room need some help!!! Think nothing…I know it does!!!
Snow White and Prince Charming
Last night, while I was in town, Casey sent me a picture of Kylie, playing dress up as Snow White. She told her Mom, that Bart was her Prince Charming! Then, she said…when is he going to be home, any way? Then she had to call him. I thought it was so sweet and needed to be written down…so I can remember it!!!
Wednesday’s at Grandma’s
On Wednesday’s, Casey has a class this quarter. I have payroll and Grandma Bridges has Kylie….and the rest of the family!!! Yes, Kylie goes over on Wednesday afternoon and Cayla after work. Grandma cooks for all of them, of course, she loves to cook! They go to church, come home and feed the next group that shows up! I am so thankful to have her, she always has been by my side to render her helping hands! Thanks Martha Helen….you are the best!
Season Finished
Today was the last day of picking for this year. Farmer is glad in some way’s, but I will tell you this….in other way’s he will be miserable! He is so thankful that we were blessed with no accidents, all employees ended the year without being bitten by snakes or getting injured. Praise God for those answered prayers! I know…snakes…..yes we have them, and they are in the squash field and everywhere else. So that is just one major concern! Then you have the tractor and trailer issues and many other catastrophes that are possible on a farm. Again, I say blessed!
Why will Farmer be miserable….when he ain’t picking he ain’t making no money! Plain and simple!!! Oh, there are still many things to do, like take up the old plastic, fix broken equipment, taxes…yikes, but that involves spending!!! By Spring of next year, he will be more than ready to get those plants in the ground!
Tractor Ride
Today, Kylie decided she needed a tractor ride. Papa was so busy, but he took just a few minutes to ride his little heart throb! I’d say she has him wrapped, he is such a softy!
My Hair
It is such a pain especially when it rains! (hey, that rhymed) I am glad I have it! Just do not tell it that it’s raining out side! Shhh!
Finally, I get to cut with Scissors!
With the rainy weather outside today, I decided to get out some construction paper and scissors and let Kylie work on her motor skills. Oh my, did she love it…for hours she cut with these different scissors. She said, that scissors were for big girls and now she is a big girl and little girls don’t use scissors because they can be dangerous! I also taught her about the letter A!
Butter Beans
I made some green beans and gave Kylie some. She said that I was not supposed to make those kind of beans. She did not like them, you make butter beans she said! yes em!! Next time…the correct bean!!!
Pa Pa’s Money
Last Sunday night I was talking to Kylie on the phone. She was telling me that she wanted some pank…what??….pank…..oh you want paint!!!! Yes, paint. Can you get me some? Mom said, “she does not have money for pank right now, Bark can you take me to Momma J’s??? I want to come to your house, Bark is taking me to his house. I said, you can come Tuesday and I will get your pank. Then she said, “Can you get some of Pa Pa’s money to buy it with, Momma J? (Well, yes my dear….I will because even though I work for Cole & my hubby….I receive no dollars…I work for love!!!) Guess she thought I actually have a stash some where! LOL
At Last
the cake is done, now she needs some coffee and merry milk??? Oh, sorry…I think she said prairie milk???? Merry milk would probably make you merrier though!
Time to bake
Now that it is covered, she will put it in the oven and turn it on…. just look at her pretend to press the buttons as she watches a little t.v…..imagination!
My new decor….
Well, now I really know why I do not buy much decor for my house……Kylie has baked Pa Pa a cake with……
Look what arrived today!
Yes, I ordered the Pioneer Woman’s cookbook. I could not help myself and it was worth it, for the picture so far and I am sure the recipes will be great! It came today!
A Picture of Dawson’s and his Super Hero
A Blast from the past! Winston with his jersey his Senior year….1980, yes we did have color pictures then!!
Marbles
While in Michael's the other day, I came across a bag of marbles. Suddenly a flood of memories entered the recall system in what brain I have left….so I will blog about it quickly, before it heads to the back of my brain or where ever it goes! I had a vision of playing marbles with someone a couple of years older than I was. She would draw the circle in the dirt. Just licking her lips, a waiting on her turn! I remember how well she played marbles and how not well I played! She would set her eyes on the ones she liked and wait on her turn. It was no challenge,I assure you! I do not think my sister or I ever beat her at marbles. She played for keeps too!!! We have so many childhood memories and she is certainly as close as a sister and I do love her! Lila, do you still have all those marbles you won??? I do not even remember how to play, not sure I never knew the rules!!! But my hats off to your skills back in the day. We did finally get smart and not play marbles with ya! Ha! 
I just had to buy a bag!
A couple of new items
I do not buy many new things for my house, as far as decor, although I need to. I just have a hard time deciding if it will look good or not, and can I live with it for the next ten years! Well, I found these two
things that I liked and knew they would work in my den.
Superhero Day
This is my first blog entry for the "Life on the Farm", but I felt that those who read this one would love it the most!
Last week at GCS, it was "Red Ribbon Week", and the kids dress up throughout the week to show support for drug awareness. Friday's dress up day was "Super Hero Day: Fighting against Drugs". Dawson dressed up as Winston Bridges as his SuperHero! I thought it was precious and that Jill would love it, so here are the photos!
