library

i went to the library with ms. s & i just rem. how wonderful that place is.
you can take books home, read them & then return them for new ones- without having to pay for anything. its freakin awesome!!! i fell in love with it all over again. & ms. s was loving it too. i found awesome books to read to her before she falls asleep at nite.
i was always a book worm when i was younger but i forgotten the place for awhile now.
its funny how life brings you back to the places you once adored.
yeah books!!!!

the nc state fair

me w/ the cheese the pretty apples the frozen hard banana

in october the fair comes to town & its usually freezing & always the same year after year but one must go for the food. for the corn on the cob, the fried candy bars, the funnel cakes, the fried wisconsin cheese, the frozen bananas, the gyros, cotton candy, candy apples, & for some the turkey legs. here we were once again going. & it was freezing again but memorable nontheless.

also the fair hosts some kick butt competion on poultry, fresh foods, cakes & animals.

i just remembered how much i used to love country music & why.
faith hill
shania twain
leaan rimes-these ladies were awesomeeeeeeee & their songs still are.

song stuck in my head from an old cd

that i cant seem to get out of my head. its perfectly worded & sung. so simple yet beautifully compared.

faith hills lovely song.

The eagle wants a canyon
And a place where he can rest his wings a while
The drifter wants a freight train
That will carry him another hundred miles
The lion's only lookin' for something he can sink his teeth into
Oh and i want you
The devil wants a fella
With a weakness he can wrap his arms around
The champion wants a challenger
Who just might have the strength to take him down
The river wants an ocean to run towards
And pour its heart into
Oh and i want you
Oh, every time that i'm around you
Oh, i'm on fire when we touch
Oh, when i hold you boy
You know I can't get close enough
Yes i want you
I could cry and say i need you
Tell you that i die when you're not here
I could lie and say i love you
Pour a little poison in your ear
But all i'm gonna give you is
Nothing but the bare and naked truth
Baby i want you
Baby i want you

so many things

ive been going thru my scrapbook room & there are so many projects in there that remain incomplete. its kinda crazy how i need to either toss it all or finish it. the scrapbooks remain complete from before but this new stuff keeps adding up. ive reduced my supplies but its not as little as id like it. i have this book where youre suppose to fill in the stuff about your life. i need to get on that too.
the fun stuff of the day: ms. s going thru my old pictures. she asked where am i in the pic. & i said you werent born yet. god didnt make you yet. after repeating all this back & forth, she gave me her last word, im sorry i wasnt in the picture, ill be in them later momma. i was in your belly.
i just smiled.
albums & pics are so worth saving & organizing for moments like this.

im back home & im so happy. will post pics soon.

portugal

we are all counting days to come home. this was a long trip. its getting more calm now. boy are we going to need time away from one another. lol. its been comfy here in lisbon as 5 star hotels make it that way. i like it here as i thought i would. the metro is everywhere so its fine getting around here but my feet hurt from all the walking. and i dont have too many options with my shoes as i dumped many of them in the first few towns to downsize. so im ready to get a lovely pedicure as soon as i return. rest too shall be wonderful on my own bed.
lisbon is a smaller version of the other cities combined but its beauty lies in the tiny winding streets & the everyday living seen in cafes & little shops all over. the beauty really is in the old towns that are still around with the pink & yellow painted buildings with the terracotta tiled roofs that can be seen from up above next to the sea. its a nice sight to see. more a little later as ms. s has turned into a crazy child most of the times. one cant blame her as she is only 3 and misses her toys and nc. pictures soon to come in a few days.
