christmas pic

I was listening to Christmas music yesterday at work. It made me think back to when Kodiak & I had our 1st Christmas together. I am going to attach our Christmas photo on here. The picture shows more of her size and stature. Last time I weighed her, she was 78 lbs. I think she's getting her winter coat b/c it's getting a little poofier and getting a little longer the last couple of weeks. Of course, with that growing in, means that it will all shed too. OH FUN! I love her though, I don't mind cleaning it up. She's just like a kid to me, in fact, she's my dogger. Now that I just chased a few rabbits, let me get this picture on here.
Aren't these antlers just too cute. She is even smiling, can you see her teeth??? That's hillarious, I just love looking at pictures.

Revenes

Well well well, tonight was quite interesting. All I gotta say is," you gotta watch out for those revenes."

Kristy and I had been at the dog park in Allen tonight and as we were getting ready to leave, we had a little bit of an incident. We had the dogs all loaded, seat belts on, lights on, etc. Well, we went to go forward and KABOOM down we went.

It was a hard hit, but it happened so fast! We looked at each other and we were both slanted forward. We had gone off into a revene. Everyone was okay. Well, I got out and looked and yep, you guessed it.......we were STUCK!! We had gone down about 3 - 3 1/2 feet into this nice revene. My back wheels were still on the ground, but no matter which direction I tried to go........NOTHING! It sure was smoking though from the tires having so much resistance. Yuck, lots of smoke too right after we hit too.

We both got out and this man had been leaving the same time as us. So, he stayed with us until Mike (a great man) came to save the day. Kristy tried calling her parents, but no tow ropes. My parents were at a viewing of my great aunt or something like that pretty far away. So, we called Mike..........YEAH! He has 3 daughters, so, he knows what it's like to have girls. For you guys, you'll understand someday. Thank you Mike if you ever read this, I appreciate it so much. While we were standing around waiting for Mike to come, I said," If Les was here he could have come and got me out."

Well, Mike arrived and used his Escalade and a ski rope to pull me out. It took a while, but my explorer finally budged. It did snap the ropes 2x and he had to call the tow company. He wanted to try 1 more time by using the pieces that were left from the ski rope and to our dismay.........out came the explorer..........BARELY.

Kristy and I hugged Mike bye and we left. I got my car to where I could see it and nothing was damaged except for my license plate bracket. My license plate is barely hanging on. So, besides the mud, that's it.

The one question people kept asking was," why did ya'll do that?" Well, I wouldn't say we exactly wanted to try to drive off into a deep revene tonight. But thank you God for allowing Mike to be home and to be able to get me out w/o costing me anything but my time. I can definitely handle that.

Well, that was the excitement of the revene tonight. I wish I had a digital camera so that I could have taken a picture of this adventure to post on here and to remember forever.

Later..........Kimberly

Porcupine Babies

Okay, well, here are the cutest little babies. They are porcupine babies. I would love to cuddle up to one of those, oh wait, nevermind, I'll get poked........haha Anyways, I'll settle for looking at the picture of them. Look out those big noses! They remind of those little stuffed animals when I was little that you could fold out into a toy or fold it into a ball. What is the name of that.......like Popples or something like that. It's right there, but can't quite catch it. OH WELL!

Anyways, everyone have a great weekend! TGIF.

How did they get these pictures developed????

Watch out for those logs!
Did we miss the Dead End sign??
Get out of the way!!!!
Did you feel that????
Don't fall!!!!!!!!

These pictures are quite messed up if I do say so myself. I wonder how they got these pictures ever developed or is it all just a big put on??? Makes you wonder though, what would you do if you were in some of these circumstances?
For starters, I would make sure that I was right with our Saviour Jesus Christ. It wouldn't be too long until I was standing at the throne of the pearly white gates. I would be having to take into account all my sins over my lifetime. Believe me, I'm not perfect, but I am forgiven! When you're a child of God, He forgives you when you ask. The only thing you have to do is admit that you were a sinner (John 3:16) and ask Jesus to come inside and have a relationship with you (Revelation 3:20). You are not automatically saved b/c you go to church or your family goes to church. It's all about a relationship with Jesus. If you have any questions about being a Christian, please feel free to e-mail me at k_m_j_98@yahoo.com.

Have a great day!!!! :)

Monday's

Gosh, can we just get rid of Mon.???? I went to bed last night at 9:45 PM and slept good until I woke up around 1:30 AM. I slept on and off for the rest of the night. My mind was just going to town.......lol I'm not tired, I think I my problem is that I would rather be outdoors than sitting at my desk. It looks so nice outside. Thank goodness I have a huge window in my office to look out. I would be totally lost if I didn't have a window. I bet I look out that window 200x a day, I just glance back often to look at the sky or the clouds. We even occassionally watch the people outside..........now that can be FUNNY!!!

Yesterday I was out in the woods with Les while he changed out his hog feeders. While we were out there, he showed me this HUGE Cottonwood Tree. It was the coolest tree and a hidden secret of collin county. It is this huge tree that is hollow in the middle. It was so big that him and I both got in and the dog and still had space. WOW!!!! You could look up and see the sky above, but the tree extended upward too. You could see the leaves on the tree above the hollow section. Like he said," you'd think it was dead, but then there's leaves." That was true. Kodiak had a ball running around and biting all the sticks that were around. There were soo many she didn't know which one to grab first. It was really nice out there under the trees, there was a slight breeze. Very nice!

My poochy was doing really good last night, but when we got up this morning her paw was swollen. I took her to the vet b/c she wouldn't walk on it. She let me examine it this morning b-4 we even left and I couldn't see a thorn or any cuts. The vet thinks that she got bit by a spider or there is a thorn and he can't see it either. He took her temp. and she did have a fever.......poor baby!! So, she got 2 types of pills and hopefully she will feel better soon. I hope it was just a spider bite and the meds. work to heal her body quickly. I know she'll bounce back quick, she's only 20 months old..........so, she'll be fine. I'm sure of that.

Overall, she had a ball!!! So did I for that matter. I'm gonna get back to work, I have a few things I need to do.

Peace Out! :)

p.s. I forgot to write about the drag strip. It was cool, but I like the other car racing better! I like the round track b/c they do laps and you get to hear the cars race their engines more. Plus, there is more action of wrecking and spinning out. It's cool as long as no one is seriously injured.

Beautiful!!!

Okay, it's now 4:45 and Kodiak and I had a blast at the park. We went out there and we crossed the creek into the forest. I found a sign back in there that lead us to a Nature Walk. So, off we went and followed the sign. We wondered around in there and she was indeed off her leash. I let her go down to the creek 2x and she was sooooo excited about that. She is as easily amused as I am. :) We walked around in there for a while and came to a few dead ends, but it was nice in there. There was a little bit of a breeze, but it was fairly calm down in there.

I ran into a family that was walking around in there too, so, I talked with them for a little while. Ended up, they lived only like 1 mile or less from me. How funny is that?!

Kodiak is sooo tired now. She ran and ran and ran. When we got home, she played with a dog and they ran around the complex too. So, she is definitely all worn out! YEAH! (doesn't happen too often)

Anyways, I am going to go and shower now, so, I'll write more later! I am going to watch dragracing tonight, so, I'll write about that tomorrow.

Townlake Park

Today has been absolutely beautiful. Kodiak and I just got home, but I think I will take her to the park. It's soo nice outside that I just can't resist not going out, so, I think we'll go to the park. I think we're going to go to Townlake Park here in McKinney.

I know Kodiak will have a blast! A fellow dog owner told me that there was a creek back in the woods and that I could let her run free. I think I'm gonna go back in the forest and let her run around. Should be pretty, especially with the nice weather that we're blessed with.

Well, we're off to the park now, I'll write how it goes later!

65 Degrees!!

YEAH!!!! I am so excited that fall is here. I went to bed last night and it was about 78 degrees and this morning it was 54 degrees! I was outside when the front started to come in last night. It was very nice. I am soo happy about that. There's something about getting cozy in a blanket and watching a bonfire. :)

There is something about every season that I love:

Spring - all the pretty flowers that start blooming.

Summer - getting to get out and about outside and do all the fun summer activities!

Fall - the leaves changing & falling, that's a gorgeous site!

Winter - really cold temp. and just being with the ones you care most about.

I am going to close for now. I'll put more thoughts on later!

Camping!

Sorry for the delay in posting, but my work week has been a little busy, but that's always good. :)

Okay, about my weekend, it was great! I had a blast camping and it was great to be out in nature. Doris and I slept in my tent and we had the top off. We could see the stars above us and it was soooo calming. I saw a shooting star which was just way too cool. I love stars and most of all, shooting stars! There is not much to compare to that!!! They just amaze me so much and since I can't see them whenever I want, I just consider them a present from God on His time.

Sat. we were out on the lake and I caught a catfish. It wasn't that big, but we kept it and we all got to try a few bites of it. Sat. night Les and I went out fishing again in a cove. To my dismay, I didn't catch anything and very few bites. His luck was in the air b/c he caught like 3 or 4 fish. He threw them all back in the water though. It was so nice out on the lake Sat. night. There was a cool breeze and some waves. Very relaxing!

We ended up staying 2 nights. It was just too nice out there to not stay. We were having a good time and I'm glad we stayed. I can't wait to get out there again.

I took Kodiak with me and she did sooo good. I was so proud of her! I didn't know if she would behave or not, but she did. That was her first time to go camping. I had wanted to take her camping last summer, but never got the opportunity to go. YEAH, she's gone camping now.

On Sat. night, I slept on the hammick. I could hear a train in the distance and there were coyotes howling and running. Nothing like coyotes to top off the camping trip. I heard them a few times, so, that was cool. I used to be able to hear them a few times a week when I lived w/ my parents, but now the coyotes are going away. The city is beginning to clear out the fields and that is making the coyotes even more scarce. I am so mad at that. I just love hearing them and actually seeing them on occassion too. I just loved living in the country, there's nothing like it. You just never realize how nice it is to have your neighbors an acre or so away.

Well, I have definitely ranted and raved, so, I'll close for now.

Ciao!
