For the Love of Cows

If anyone would see the emails that go back and forth between me and my BFF Kim they would wonder about us. Yesterday we had an afternoon long conversation about the difference between Bulls, Steers, Cows and Heifers. She has a pasture by her new condo in FL (which honestly I didn't know there were many cows in FL but I digress) that holds some cows and bulls. She was calling them all Cows and I had to set her straight on that. Crazy girl refuses to talk to them despite my encouragement to do so!

I won't tell you what she said when I offered to take her to a dairy farm and let her milk a cow.

I guess I just have cows on the brain since I'm going home this weekend and we have some day old calves that I am looking forward to bottle feeding. I love bottle feeding calves, they are just so sweet! Mom said they liked being petted so I'm excited to love on them. Somewhere along the line I have become an animal lover. I used to be really afraid of cows when I was younger, I think because I was so short, I was afraid they would stomp on me and kill me or something. Now that I'm tall 5'9" the fear appears to be gone.

People, Kim included! Tend to think we're a little nuts, but we treat all of our animals, cows included! as pets and family. Weird to some people, but we take good care of them. Even if my Dad tells poor Precious how fat she is! The love for our animals is continuing on with my precious nephew. He is obsessed with cows, and one of his first words was "moo". It continues to be a favorite word of his, anytime he spots a cow he starts moo'ing. He got to visit the pasture a few weeks ago, and while I was at work and missed it, his Mommy took pictures, and that little boy has no fear! He got all up in the cows business and was ready to make friends. I was so proud of him!

January Recap

Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window. BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it. I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea

It's me, Charity
