Angels above us

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished, for one more day with you

One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl
Then I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do, with one more day with you

One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

Leave me wishing still, for one more day
Leave me wishing still, for one more day

Well, in the past year  we've said goodbye to four great people on my mom's side of the family. Our family has come together to laugh, cry, ask why, remember and honor more times than one would like over the course of a year.  With each passing month it gets a little bit harder to remember the small details of each relationship, but the angels above us will never be forgotten. Please pray for all families who have lost loved ones, may we all find peace and comfort.

We lost Uncle Larry on Sunday and will be saying goodbye to him on Friday. He has had his struggles, but remained a strong family man. He always made it to our family get togethers and always had a good teasing for us nieces and nephews (I think he came by that honestly from Grandpa). I hope heaven is ready for the Maucks they have received this year.....I guarantee you everyday is April Fools Day up there now. Please pray especially for the Mauck family this week as we lay another one to rest. RIP Uncle Larry.

We lost another great man this week, who isn't family by blood, but we count him as family anyway. A man who was never supposed to die. He hit a horse in his semi and made it through, his grain trailer broke in half and he made it through. He is Roy "the little varmint", he made sure the little kids at Southside were supplied with candy and he made sure us big kids were supplied with Miller Lights. He is my dad's best friend and we are going to miss him too. RIP Roy Marsh. 

Wishing still, for one more day.

    I really hope Roy knows just how many people considered him family. Napa won't be the same without him. SS won't be the same without him. I'm really going to miss Jason getting him really riled up about something that made him mad. Cuz when he got riled up he added an L to a word and it sounded like this. "What the fulk man, what the fulk?!?!" If Napa didn't sell it, you didn't need it. Just look at how he cooled his house. His is the only one with a shop cooler attached to the side of the house. A shop cooler, not a swamp cooler! Skirted and everything! We love you, Roy!!!

    Oh, Jen. I'm so sorry. It's never easy to say goodbye to people who you love like that. I'll be praying for you all.

WILW: laugh 'til it hurts

Image
[Linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday] A few years back, OKTrailerPark Friend and Snowboard Friend and I went to Canyons in Utah for a girls weekend. We had a slope side condo, reduced price lift tickets, wine and the resort swimming pool. Now when we vacation we do it up right. We snowboarded and rode the alpine slide by day and by night we soaked in the pool, wore sweatpants, cooked dinner in our condo, played cards, drank wine and watched this YouTube video....over and over and over and over. the.best.ab.workout.ever. Whenever I'm having a sub-par day, I pull this video out. I mean I do have it favorited on my work computer even! If this video doesn't make you laugh, go to the emergency room NOW! Here is a little note from Ed and Ross's mom, who posted the video. As you can read Ed and Ross were best friends! PLEASE NOTE..... THESE CLIPS WERE TAKEN OVER A PERIOD OF 18 MONTHS.... ED WAS A VERY GOOD BOY MOST OF THE TIME.... I HAVE HOURS

What i'm loving wednesday: winter

Image
[Linking up with Jamie at  This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!] One kind word can warm three winter months. ~Japanese Proverb I'm LOVING..........Winter I love winter! but I hate shoveling snow. As it snowed around here (finally AND 2 days in a row!), I thought about my hatred for shoveling snow....I think if it were either light before I went to work or after I got home, maybe shoveling wouldn't be so bad. So snow and winter go hand-in-hand, how can I love winter if I don't like shoveling snow?   Playing in it of course! Christmas markets, throwing snowballs, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, hot tubbing, cabins and fireplaces, hot snock-o-late, big snowflakes, crisp untouched fields blanketed in fresh snow. It's a clean slate and I love it! Have a great winter and enjoy all it has to offer! Here is a picture I took a while back my way home from snowboarding at Beaver Mountain, Utah (a great little ski area btw). This is

Losing the farm

Image
When I tell people I work for the Farm Service Agency, I either get a knowing nod like "oh you are one of those government employees" or I get a "what do you actually do?". I've started leading off with working for the US Department of Agriculture because most people have actually heard of that that. We are a small agency within USDA that administers the farm subsidy, disaster and some insurance programs of the Farm Bill. The farm bill is made up of 15 different titles addressing different areas. The 15 titles or parts of the Farm Bill are , the ones that are bolded are the only ones that I directly work with through FSA. Commodity - provides income support to growers of select commodities Conservation - provides funding for farm environmental stewardship thought programs that improve management practices, retire less productive land and protect natural resources Agricultural Trade & Food Aid - funds US agriculture export a
