2011-Jan.07 Seeing....Hearing.....

Well, I feel kinda of weird writing this, but I'm going to anyway.


1) Some years ago, back in 1983, I was pregnant with Bryan at the time, I was in our living room on Avalon Dr. and I was getting ready to go to work. I was startled to see a small boy about 7 years old in my living room. I was also startled when I realized that I could see through this little boy and also startled to realize that no one else was in the room. Wow! I didn't know what to think of this. Who was I seeing there? Who was trying to tell me something? Knowing what I know today, I think I was seeing someone that I had been longing to see.

2) One Saturday morning, about 8 months to a year ago: Johnny had to work on this Saturday morning and got up about 6 a.m. I was sleeping, it wasn't time for me to get up-it's Saturday, I didn't have to go to work. Laying in bed, it seemed like maybe an hour . I was awakened by someone- a male voice, at our bedroom door saying, "I'm Home Now." I sat up to tell Johnny "Shhh, I'm still sleeping." As I looked up toward the door, I realized. . . NO ONE WAS THERE! Both Joseph and John Thomas were asleep when I went to look, and I looked out my bedroom door to see if Johnny's truck was there and it wasn't. As I was trying to make out what it was I heard, who it was I heard, I realized that it must have been my brother, John, who had died January, 1998. He was telling me that he made it to Heaven, He was HOME now! How wonderful, and he was letting me know too! Isn't that Great!


3) I was in a fog after my Mother passed away in October, 2003. I was just going through the motions in my daily life-in a "fog". And then in 2004, the following year, I felt a little better the morning I woke up and realized that she (My Mother) had come to me in a dream. I saw her in a pinkish plaid shirt that she usually wore in the winter to keep her warm. This comforted me in a way that I cannot described. And shortly after that, I remember sitting at work AND.... that "fog" I had been under lifted away from me and it was gone. Don't get me wrong, I still miss her like crazy, but things were not as "hard" for me after that.


4) 2011, January 6th, Thursday a.m. about 2:30. I was sleeping in bed and was woke up by, who I thought would be Joseph, at my bedside, saying, "MOM." I lifted my head and said, "Joseph." And looked by my bed and no one was there. I got up out of bed and went to Joseph's room. "Joseph are you okay?" I touched him, he was sleeping, well, he had been, until I woke him up. "Nana, what's wrong?" "Just checking on you, baby, to see if you're okay. Did you just go in my room for me?" "No, Nana." Then I thought, oh no! John Thomas wasn't home. Maybe something happened. I got my cell phone and text him - -"R U Okay?" Then in just a few seconds he text me back, "Yes, I'm in the driveway." Thank goodness he's okay. I didn't want to call Bryan or Kendra, I figured if something was wrong, Krystyn or Joe would be calling. They didn't. What does this mean? I couldn't go back to sleep. My mind raced for quite a while, wondering who just called me, who just came to me, who was just trying to tell me something.


Okay, so there, I said it. It's out there.

Does anyone have anything to say? Go ahead, I can take it. yes, I agree, I probably need go seek professional help- HAHA!

2011-Jan.02 Sunday around the ole homestead

Joseph, OMG, my how you've grown. Joseph got that "Tractor Sexy" when he was 2 years old. A little younger and just a little smaller than Jackson is now. Okay, back then the song came out "She Thinks my Tractors Sexy" by Kenny Chesney in 1999 and Joseph would dance around and sing, try to sing as best he could ..."Tractor Sexy"....

and now look at him, he has to sit on the back of the seat-ouch!

Push - Push, come on Joseph, keep going

Oh too funny! Jackson gave up on him. "I'm walkin".

Yum Yum, venison...

hurry up guys

"Nana, come on, I wan na walk wit youuuu!!"

In case you are wondering about this "sky" picture, look really close do you see them, all those birds! They are flying over the deer carcasses the guys threw out. Yuk! I'm going in, I don't won't them flying over my head. Last time, Joseph went over and laid down to see if they would come "pick" on him. They didn't - imagine that- I guess he didn't SMELL BAD ENOUGH!! huh!? ewwww

Krystyn and Jackson on the pier

We were walkin' through Nana's ....shhh! "Secret Forrest" and Joseph came at us with this stinky purple "pop pop"! It really was just smoke but I didn't know that then, but it did stink.

Come on fellows, you can do it, pick it up

already with those "3 bags of deer corn in there", it shouldn't be

that heavy. Yeah! right!!!

Jackson says, "I help you, daddy."

Krystyn sent me this one, Jackson in PJs and a sombrero ??!! and mouth running "90 Miles an hour" looks like :) oh but that's normal around here. . . . .
