And thirty years later!


It took me thirty years to figure out what "I'm supposed to do!" I have always had a free spirit, creativity, and lots of imagination. From a very early age, I can remember playing outside and creating things. When I was growing up, we lived on a creek and this is where my first stove was made. I took bricks and made an underground stove. Every year in the fall when the yellow stink ditch flowers would bloom I would take a pine cone and stick the flowers in it. It would create a beautiful yellow stink ditch flower ball. I would bring them home and my mother would put them outside every time. I still make these today and now understand why they go outside as they are loaded with chiggers!

Some people would call me a story teller! There is nothing boring about my life and there is nothing that I would hide. I love going to work on a Monday morning and sharing what happened over the weekend. When I tell my stories, people listen and this is where creating a blog came in to mind. I would have never imagined that starting this blog would give me the answer that was looking for! What am I suppose to do you ask? Write! Yes, there is A LOT that I still have to learn, but when I write it just pours out of my fingers!  I love writing about my life experiences and the little things that make me happy. If you’re reading this, then that means that your interested! Please come back and check me out often! There are three articles that I am working on now and I think you will like them! The titles are: Chronicles of a Dirt Cheapaholic, Wal-Mart dating 101, and How to Make Fresh Arrangements.

Happy Reading

Country as a Turnip Green

Okay I must admit that I do not eat turnip greens but, I am as country as one! My adventure started in Morgan City, La at 10:10 PM on September 6th, 1980. My love for life and all things country started at an very early age. I was always the little chubby girl with the dirty face or the girl that you saw playing in the ditch making mud pies for her family. I have always been in love with all things outside. The outdoors leaves so much to the imagination and that is one place that i am not lacking in!

So a little more about me. I met my best friend, lover and my partner in life on October 7th 1998, in the local supermarket parking lot on a Friday night. It was love at first sight. Fast forward and we have been married for eight years now . We have no human kids, but we have been blessed with three wonderful fur babies! I will go into great detail about them a lil later.

Bobby and I moved up to Gods country three years ago and have enjoyed every minute of it. My home is a warm place where everyone is welcome. We spend our free time doing whatever makes us happy. Bobby and I live life to the fullest and have no regrets.

My goal for this blog is to share my life adventures, yummy recipes and my love of all things animals!

Sincerely,
Backwoods Belle
