Home!

I will be moving into my new home within a couple of weeks. The dogs will be so excited to finally be back together again! Thanks to all of my friends that have helped me through this very difficult time in my life!

July 4th 2010

Thanks Dick, Wanda, and your wonderful family for another great 4th. It was so nice to be back in my hometown with my life long friends. You guys are the best! Also a special thanks to Halterman family for the invite to your families party. It was great seeing all of you again! Had a great time, great food, great friends, and safe drive home. Thanks Dave for spending the day with me and for being you! Happy Birthday Mom, today she is 79 and still full of fire.

Moving home!

My move has been delayed, but we should be in our new home by the end of July. Hope Shelby is ready for us!

Good News!

I have finally found a home in Shelby. We should be moved in by the first part of July. We will all be happy to finally be at home and rebuild our life as part of a community. Thanks to all the wonderful people of Shelby for your support as well. Life is finally good again!

Interesting life!

For those of you who don't know me, this has been a very difficult time in my life. Maybe I didn't do everything the right way, but it was my way. I have no idea who keeps posting the nasty messages on facebook, my blog, and my email. I'm not sure why you would concern yourself with my life. You must have issues yourself to continue to harass me. I wish you well.

To all of the officers and deputies that have been involved recently in my crazy world, I can not thank you enough for all of your help. You have my greatest respect, it's not just about being a cop, it's about being a human being with a heart. Thanks again to all of you!

Moving on!

Today I will close the door one last time to a life that I will no longer live. I respect my children's wishes, even though your words devastated me. As an adult you make your own choices and I respect yours as I hope understand my life will move forward and I will never look back.

For Judy, you have so much courage to post on my blog and I can't thank you enough for painting such a wonderful picture of my life even though you don't walk in my shoes. I wonder why your courage is only in false words, maybe you should face me person and give me your great advise. I would surely love to hear it.

To my true friends, new and old. May all of our dreams come true and we find the faith everyday to live our life with courage! Thank you for your help, protection, and the years of laughter we have ahead of us.

Frogs

Building a Garden for all to visit is so rewarding! In someways it's the ultimate healer! Adding a pond creates a haven for wild life, it's fun to watch a child let the fish go and you wonder where the frogs come from. Like a fairy tale they appear out of no where! It almost makes me want to kiss one just to see if Mr. Right would magically appear? I believe with all my heart, he is out there somewhere waiting for a magical moment to appear before his eyes so he will know in his heart how he really feels. As I believe he already has my heart, my unconditional love, and if he gets to close I'm pretty sure I will want him forever!

March 1, 2010

Seems surreal the opportunities that have happened to me in the last 3 months. Through a circle of friends, I found myself again, began a new life and will continue to be blessed each day! Moving forward, I will once again become Amy Payne! I will be moving to a new home and building a life for myself. My circle of friends will continue to grow and I will give some people something to talk about, it won't be gossip either!

New Day!

I have recently made some major changes in my life! I hope you will continue to watch for updates about my new home. I also hope you will check back often as I create my new Garden.

Having a place to go is home
Having someone to love is family
Having both is a blessing

Family and Friends!

Thanks to all of my family for understanding and my grapevine brother for truly see the best side of me. As for my circle of friends! I don't know how I did this without your inspiration, support and your laughter. Hearts do get healed and life does go on!

About me!

At the bottom of "about me", is "view my complete profile," if you click there it will take you to the other blogs. Just a little more about me.

Updates!

Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope you will spread the word! This has been a delight to create and I hope you stop back often. New Gardens will grow, new lifes will begin together, and new babies will be born. I will continue to create and I will be at my best. Happy Friday everyone! Thanks again!

Check Back for updates this week!

I have been busy this week with a couple of unexpected projects. So please check back later this week for updates. Hope you all have a great week ahead.

A Best Friends Wedding!

It seems like yesterday when Robbie and Dustin met and when Kristi started watching Jenny and Robbie. Life changes and we move away, dang it they keep following me..... Lots of laughs! I love you guys with all my heart and I'm so grateful for having your family be part of mine. Well Kristi, from the other mama, let's make this one beautiful day for these kids. April 10, 2010 here we come.....

Amy

To all my friends!

Just Me!

My Guys!

My Girls!

My little Ham!

What a smile! Thanks Makenzie for spending the weekend with us, helping with chores, and singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star! You are amazing!

Chore time!

Makenzie is a great helper when it comes to feeding the babies.

Relief for Mama Shelby!

Makenzie spent the weekend helping Shelby with her one pup. Shelby was happy for someone else to play with him.

Christmas finally arrrived for 2009.

We were able to have Christmas with my son Robbie, Mary, and Jaden the first part of January. Then this past weekend with my daughter Jenny, Josh, and Makenzie. It was really fun to make them all a quilt. I also made my husband and mom one, but will have to update with pictures of those later.

Updates!

I will be adding updates this week, so I hope you visit often to see what's being created at the Funny Farm this week. I hope you all have a great week!

First Baby!

Here we go again on the Funny Farm, first baby, Mommy doesn't her, started with one bottle baby, now we have twin bottle babies. Mommy doesn't like either one.

Falling Ice

This is my husband Don. He braved the falling branches and ice to split wood to keep our house warm..

Long Week!

We are all so thankful to have power back, thanks to all the dedicated folks for working extra hours so we can be warm and clean again. Even though we did not lose power our well has been out for several days! Thank God for the rain to help water the animals. Thanks Brenda and Kyle for the great company last night. Brenda and I sewed for awhile and just chatted away. Kyle played X-Box and I'm sure was bored out of his mind. We had a great dinner and today our life's are some what back to normal. With all the ice finally melted off the trees and lines, we hope to have a more normal week on the farm. We have our first little baby goat, born today, mommy doesn't like her little baby, so I guess Makenzie will be bottle feeding when she visits this weekend. I hope you all are warm and safe tonight, lets hope this week ahead will show us some sunshiny days.....

New Days!

I think we are all ready for some days of Sun! With the weather so crazy, ice, snow, fog and no sun for days. We should all be a bit blue, maybe we need to create something bright and cheerful to take those endless days away. I have created a couple of new things this week. I think they will spark a new interest.

For Me

Thanks!

Hello everyone! If you view my complete profile, at the bottom are the blogs. As you can see, I couldn't put all of my life on one page. To my beloved Sister-in-law Jeannie, this is about life! And most importantly about a change in mine. 2009 had many challenges for me, however 2010 will be an opportunity to move forward and do what I do best. If you enjoy gardening, family history, puppies, poetry, and most importantly quilting, you will find it all right here. Thanks to my family for supporting me, my friends for listening, and my sis-in-law for not killing me this week for teasing her so badly. I hope you all can take a moment to comment, pass on and share with me a great year ahead.

Welcome friends

This is all new for me so I'm going to try my best to make visiting my blogs a fun experience. Hope you enjoy!

Happy 2010

A new day!

Just testing out the new site.
