My Photo Book

We went to Florida for a week, in February this year.
It was my first time to Florida, Actually, I had a bunch of “firsts” on this vacation!
Thanks to Scott’s sister Barb and brother in law Jerry, we were able to take a nice trip together. They stayed at our place and took care of all the critters.
Although Jerry thinks my horses poop more than necessary.

This is what I’ve been dreaming about lately.
This is what Southern Wisconsin has been dreaming about for months.
It may not last long but we’ll take it.
The brown in the background is my pasture. It’s also the color of the hay fields around here.
Until next time…Appy Trails.

Job Hunting
Posted in Around the farm, Uncategorized, tagged hot weather, job hunting on July 5, 2012| Leave a Comment »
I’m really frustrated with the whole job hunting thing.
Having done the vet tech thing for many years, I just couldn’t handle the physical demands of it anymore.
I quit in November of 2011 for a break.
After having a medical procedure I started job hunting again this March.
Are there any work at home jobs out there that aren’t a scam???
It’s 102 degrees here in Wisconsin, and I’m feeling grumpy from lack of horseback riding and frustrated from job hunting.
So I’m going to go hose down the horses and get away from the computer.

Let’s run these people out of the business.
Let’s shut down these types of shows.
This video doesn’t even cover what they do to the horse’s tails.
Excuse my language but I’m fricking pissed!

My Secret Double Life
Posted in Around the farm, Uncategorized, Videos, tagged American Idol, Bruno Mars, go go dancing, Joshua Ledet, secrets, video, You Tube on April 15, 2012| Leave a Comment »
Hi, my name is Lisa and I have a secret.
In my double life…
when no one is around…
in my living room…
I’m a go-go dancer…
Okay, I guess I do have a small audience of 3 Cocker Spaniels.
Sometimes they have this worried look on their faces…
It’s American Idol’s, Joshua Ledet’s fault that I am a closet go-go dancer now.
When they said he’s going to be singing Runaway by Bruno Mars, I had no idea what to expect.
I had no idea who Bruno Mars was.
Until now…
How fun was that??
So I had to search online for Bruno Mars.
Actually, I have heard some of his songs like: Valerie, Just The Way You Are and Marry You.
I just didn’t know who sang them.
Now I do!
Let’s dance!
Who’s dancing with me?
I see you…
Until next time…Appy Trails
My Amy
Posted in Around the farm, Uncategorized, Videos, tagged blindness, cancer, daughter, epilepsy, family loss, grieving, hydrocephalus, Neurofibromatosis, sister, soul on March 12, 2012| 2 Comments »
It’s March 12th right now and I decided to write a blog to post on March 14th.
I think I’m going to post it now…
March 14th is my birthday, it’s my dad’s birthday, too.
But 2 yrs. ago on March 14th my baby sister lost her battle to cancer.
From thinking she may have had a slight stroke went spiraling down into finding out it was brain cancer.
Amy grew up with disabilities stemming from Neurofibromatosis. She was on medications for epilepsy and migraines there was also hydrocephalus and blindness (benign tumors on her optic nerves).
Above it all, Amy was always such a cheerful person. Always remembering birthdays, trying to play jokes, adding to her funky pen collection, taking herself to the mall on the bus and ALWAYS on her cell phone. 
Our whole family received calls from Amy. Sometimes 10 or more a day.
Sometimes it was just to say “Hey Lisa I saw a pretty bird in the feeder” or “Lisa, Millie (her Scottish Terrier) is barking at a dog food commercial, it’s so funny!”
The ringtone I had for her was Tweety Bird saying “Now how you spose I got my wittow self in such a pwedicoment?”
I still have her number and ringtone in my phone.
I still want it to ring and I want to hear Tweety…
I always drove my mother and Amy to her Dr. appointments in Madison. I had the job flexibility to be able to do it.
It was a tradition to go to the Red Lobster (Amy’s request) after each visit and a couple times we went to the zoo.
But I have regrets:
- Some days being too busy to take Amy to McDonalds or the mall, when I stopped over for a quick visit.
- Getting irritated when my phone rang for the 7th time at work.
…I don’t know why I’m writing this blog…
…I can’t see the screen very well right now…
Can someone please find a way to turn back time?
3 weeks and 2 days after finding out Amy had cancer…we lost her…we were all there around her bed…
