Don't have a heart attack, it's me again!

Yes sir,I'm back and I did miss doing this blog but I really didn't have an excuse! These are my reasons for my absence,whether you want to hear them or not! (It sounds worse written down)

#1 my computer gave up the ghost along with my pictures on them but there is hope for 'em I understand! The hard drive can be taken in to our computer geek at church and get them off for me, so as soon as he does that I want to get christmas cards done...that time of the year already??? I skipped the last two years so this year I'm gonna! So long story short all my blogging has to be done with my phone which is SLOW!

#2- the next most obvious reason is THE STORE! Its been busy for us this fall and with ordering and everything that the store and my family REQUIRES, some days I don't know if I'm coming or going!

We've been getting a website designed so you can go to sharonscountrystore.com and see us! And for people on facebook, we're on there too! People have been telling us to get our info out there so we did!

More projects that we got our selves into this fall was clearing the pasture area of all the trees so we can grow grass for our 3 horses! We got a cat in to dig out the stumps and smooth every thing out, now next spring we need to get it seeded! We got rid of 70 trees including the ones along the lane and the yard. They were only ugly pines that shed cones but along with that went my old fence lining the lane
And that I didn't like but it was unavoidable, so that'll be another project for spring. And in my yard I want to plant another weeping willow tree for my kids to climb! They are my favorite trees, probably cause I grew up with em and had many a house in those branches! I think every place I've lived so far, I've planted a weeping willow.

We also did some work in the house enclosing the front half of the trailer and made a room for my stuff. All my sewing stuff gets a home in one spot finally, now I just have to set a heater in to heat my frigid room so I can sew(except my machine went ka-put too so I gotta fix that too).

Oh well at least we're having fun in our shack on top of the hill, we got enough wood for the winter and all the food we need at the store! I'll be back........(When everything gets fixed). :)

I’m Back!

 I’ve been thinking the last few weeks of this poor forsaken blog, so I looked up the other day and it was actually 2012 that I quit. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then and our family has grown and there’s been lots of changes and a wedding and a daughter-in-law and grandbaby coming and now we’re having another wedding In a few weeks! Wow , you never know what will happen in six more years! I thought about trying to catch up over our lives the last few years, but most of you already know What all we’ve been up to so I’m not gonna try! I’m just going to start where we are now! This is going to be a year to remember for sure! 2018, Who would’ve thought, that we would be facing cancer, looking forward to being grandparents, having a 19-year-old daughter getting married, another daughter dating!  It’s almost mind-boggling, but I am reminded  that when I started this blog and I was a busy younger mother with six little kids, that I literally took one day...

Pictures Of Summer 2012, now That Its History. . .

I am so far behind, I'm not even gonna try to catch up on our summer! Did we even HAVE summer??? Me thinks the years are flying by too fast! We had a relaxing Sunday afternoon today, Norvs mom and dad came up for lunch and Jay and April and the girls. . . Its been almost six weeks since hip surgery for my MIL, she's about ready to get rid of her walker! That'll be a wonderful sight to see her walk without it. Its been getting colder every night and raining for the past few days, knocking all those beautiful yellow leaves of of my maples in the front yard!  We've started raking them into huge piles. But its wasted effort till they are all off. The snow is covering the mountain tops now so one of these days its gonna get us! :) We celebrated our 18 th anniversary the 8th of October! Norv had to fly to Seattle that weekend and Julianna had her 8th birthday, so we are gonna do a gateway later. This time of the year is always a little hard to get nice wea...

50th Wedding Anniversary

These bull whips were a hit! I even managed to crack one (when no one was looking!) It was a fun filled week that ended not so good with flu bugs flying around , but we had a good time honoring Norv's folks  for their 50 years of marriage! The weather didn't always cooperate and it wasn't the warmest either but we had a nice big pavilion and a nice big fire roaring, lots of coffee, lots of food and  lots of gabbing and catching up with family we don't see very often! The whole reason for the Skrivseth Reunion/ 50th Wedding Anniversary  celebration Elv , Arla and the kids at home yet, from Wisconsin Ivan , Dena and Family from SC Evie came from Ohio Dayton, Judy,Alex, Gilbert, Benjamin,Rebecca and Jonathan Eric and Jared  Our family Bruce, Shilah and kids Matt , Amy and boys Jay ,April , Olivia and Jemima One afternoon we all toured the houses and lands of us kids that live here, here we are at Shilah's ...
