Holiday Season
The Holidays are among us and we all are busy with shopping , cleaning, wrapping and planning dinner. I know that each year around this time is one of the hardest times I have to go thru. I lost my mom just before Christmas and her birthday and it has been hard ever since. I know people tell me it will get easier and I don’t see how. The one person I could talk to about anything was my mom and now I don’t have that. I know that I have friends and other family members I can talk to but my mom was different. She loved me for me and it didn’t matter what was going on in our life. She always tries and makes Christmas the best for all of us. I still have the present that I got her that year. I know one year it will be easy for me to get thru the holidays but I am not sure when that will be.
It is never easy being down for the holidays, but I try and put on a brave face and get thru it. Sometimes the ones that are supposed to be there for you, don’t listen and make things harder to handle. I know that I will be fine and get thru the holiday season again, but just remember when you see someone don’t judge them you don’t know what they are going thru.
I want to wish everyone that has followed me and went on this year-long journey with me. I will continue next year where I know I will have challenges that will have to deal with. I know that I will get thru them with help from others and myself.
One day it would be nice to get a prayer answered once, but it will happen when you least expect it.

The great minnesota get together, it is 12 days of fun and exciting things to do. You can spend all day there and still not do eveything. There is so much foods that you can try and you never try it all. Every year my daughter and I go and spend a long day there and she tries to eat as much as she can. it never works, but this year was different she tried a lot of new things and still had some favorites. The corn on the cob is really good, if you never been to Minnesota come the week before Labor day and it will be on, it always that the end of August and the begin of September. If you don’t like crowds you won’t enjoy your self because each day it busy. There is alot of people go more then one day but that all I can take. So everyone go and have some fun and don’t worry about anything else.
Enjoy, be kind to all

Season changes, leaves change colors. What do we do to change? We change our clothes for the weather. So it is time to look back at the year and see what we have learned about ourselves and what is going on around us.
Start making plans on what to change the following months or year. I know that I have been thinking about what I want to do. Some things will be hard and slow, but I just have to make my goals small and have little victories.
There has been so much change in my life right now, I feel overwhelmed at times. I have a hard time dealing with it, so instead I stay busy and not think about it for a while. I know that it will catch up to me and I am going to have to face what is going on inside my head.
Sorry this one has taken me a while to write but I wanted to make sure others understand what I am going thru and what I have in front of me to face. I know some will have helpful tips and I am welcome of that. The others that have comments that I need to face what is coming and deal with it because it happens to everyone have no idea what it’s like in someone else’s shoes.
World largest Rubber duckWorld largest Rubber duck
This past week I have been baking a lot getting ready for a sale that was nothing I could have thought it would be. The Duck was over 6 stories tall and wow see it up close was cool. A lot of people went there and saw it and had a great time with everything else going on.
Our sale was very successful that is for sure. I never had to make so much for one show ever. I can’t wait until next year when they do it again. I will be more prepared that is for sure.
It has been a long couple of weeks for us here. It is finally slowing down this month. I know it never lasts that long but I am fine with the time to get other things done. Plus it gives me time to find some other part time work that I can do from home. I know that there are companies out there looking for a little help and that who I want to be.
For the time I do have I am making and sell a dog treat to help with all my dogs medication, I know he won’t be around long time but it I can make something that everyone can remember him from, I made a good choice to do this. Life is not always fair and for him it is cruel that is for sure. But we show him all the love he needs.
Thank you for letting me do this and continue reading.
