Drugging Children

________________________________________

The other day someone at a store in our town read that a meth lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining town and asked a rhetorical question, " Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?"

I replied that I had a drug problem when I was young. I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter what the weather.

I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me.

I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profanity. I was drug out to pull weeds in my mom's garden and flower beds and cockle-burrs out of dad's fields. I was drug to the homes of family and friends and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the lawn, repair the clothesline or chop some firewood and if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness she would have drug me back to the woodshed.

These drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I say, do or think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack or heroin and if today's children had this kind of drug problem America would be a better place.

God bless the parents who drugged us.

My Dehydrator....

My Deydrator--A new love........

I have had a Dehydrator for EVER .. Was a gift from my son about 10 years ago to make jerky .. his favorite.  I started using it again this week  OMG I can't believe how (busy or out of touch) with the real thing I was... I am so excited,  I did diced green peppers and onions together (smelled awesome).  I also dehydrated potatoes..that was fun.   I also did some tomato's.  I did strawberries - forget - about doing anything with those but SAMPLE till gone Yum. Spinach was very quick.  Can't wait to do even more.  OH I also did Jerky.. yup was GOOD everyone luved it , was glad to see me make it again.  But so much more expensive...

Starting Over

I started a blog back in 2009 by the same name.  Thing's came up and things went down.  My account with google didn't disappear but my blog is in the O-Zone somewhere.   I am working on starting it again..  WOW what have I missed!!!!  Where to begin AGAIN????   I hope to be back where I was soon.  I was on a wonderful web site called "CLUB MOM" joined it in 1996 and had so many GREAT friends from coast to coast.  Club Mom decided to change the name to Cafe Mom (with a lot of changes and deleting members to get the audience they preferred more than just simple Moms that wanted to share their photos and ideas to raise their kiddos in a simple promising way)  and went to the TOP and has been on ABC-CBS-NBC TV.. and they just shut down CLUB MOM down.  A lot of those Moms from C/M decided to go to face book to keep in touch and we still do. 

I am now ready to get back to my blog and finding  friends that enjoy life as I do and have the same interest as I do..
 God Bless........  ~Big Hugs & Lotsa Luv~
