Morning Visitor

I took a picture of this little bird on the feeder on our back deck. It's not too good--it was taken through the patio door glass. I'm not sure what kind of bird it is, but is is so pretty. There were 12 at one point--this one is the only one that didn't fly away when I came to the door. I love to just watch the birds out the back. It's very calming and relaxing.

Added a bit....

I just decided to add a bit too my blog before I went to bed. As you can see, I have 2 children in the military--Ryan, US Navy, and Christina, US MarineCorps. I fully support our young men and women in their valiant efforts to keep us free and safe. We owe our freedom to these brave young people who do not hesitate to give up their lives for ours. How anyone could not support and appreciate them is beyond my comprehension. This is a time for ALL of us to come together in the effort to keep our country safe. I suppose if a Democrat, heaven forbid, were to be elected we could use their "free universal healthcare" to take care of all the wounded civilians that this country will have when we are attacked again and again because they don't have the guts to stand up to terrorists and take care of their citizens. I firmly believe it will happen if we don't get another Republican administration.

Oh, well, enough about politics.

Who knows what I may put here next?

So...here I am :-)

I finally decided to start a blog.
Why? I don't really know. I suppose everyone needs their version of a diary at some point in their life. I guess this will be my diary.

I'm normally a shy, quiet person, keeping my random thoughts to myself. Maybe this will help me to open up to more people--who knows??

I'm a stay home mom of 5--only one child is still at home. I enjoy making candles, tarts, and soaps and have been now off and on since I was a teenager. That's a looooong time! I've been selling online now for over two years. It's been a fun way to keep up with my hobby that I enjoy, but I decided several months ago that it is going to be my business. Darn it, I will make a good business out of something I enjoy! Heck, if Paula Deen can do it, so can I! She is sort of an inspiration for me, since she was just about my age when she started out, and look at her now. Just proves that you CAN achieve at any age and in any situation if you put your mind to it. Even a l'il southern gal.

So......here I am :-)
