Re-blogging: Tilly's Nest: Goodbye Dolly

From Sarah: I have followed this blog for awhile now. Dolly was a huge part of it. She will be remembered.
We raised chickens when I was growing up. There are always those special ones. Ones that follow you everywhere.
RIP Dolly.

Rebloogged from Elizabeth Peterson : No Regrets. Then Shared on WordPress
https://sarahsatticoftreasures.wordpress.com/2015/04/28/reblogged-from-elizabeth-peterson-no-regrets/ The Four Things You Can't Recover From Was On Elizabeth's post.
From Sarah: Elizabeth’s timing on this post is perfect.
Menopause has not been good to me.
I was sitting at my desk here, waiting for Danny to come out of his Computer Room where he’s been tied up since we got home from Walmart. I’ve had a sinus headache all day. So my mood hasn’t been all that good. I’d tried laying down but couldn’t fall asleep. I just KNEW Danny was going to come out and say: “Are you ready for a glass of wine?” It’s been our habit to have a glass or so of wine every night. We both look forward to that. I usually have a few snacks ready as well.
This was my first read of the day.
I’d been thinking of ALL the words I wanted to say to him. The ones I really shouldn’t say. The angry, bitter or whining words.
Danny hasn’t done anything wrong. I could always go in and just ask “How much longer”.
Yet, I sit and ponder ALL those WORDS.
So Elizabeth: Thank you.

Re-posted From Sarah's Attic Of Treasures on Facebook. Jauary 2013:Where Danny and I live, work, play, laugh and love.
There's been a lot of confusion here about where Danny and I live and Work. It's is a bit complicated. I talk about us working at Lake Kissimmee State Park , Rolling Meadows Ranch and even at Allen David Broussard Catfish Creek Preserve State Park. I also mention Catfish Creek ,the Creek. I mention living at the park and RMR.It's all true. So here's a bit of the story: In November 2006, I moved to Florida from Colorado. Danny and I moved out of the house his Dad had built when he was a child. His dad died when Danny was 6. He lived in Haynes City all of his life. We bought a 5th Wheel and moved to Camp Mack Fishing Camp.....Camp Mack Road, Lake Wales. It's right across from Lake Kissimmee State Park. Danny was working at Bok Tower Gardens at the time.
February 1, 2007, Danny got a job as a Park Ranger at Lake Kissimmee State Park (LKSP) I started volunteering. August 4, 2007, we moved the RV across the street to LKSP and lived in what is called Day Use Area. I was Campground and Day Use Host....Among many other things. We lived their until December 2008.
We moved over to Rolling Meadows Ranch. It was a SOD FARM til the state took it over 6 years before. The Sod people totally moved out January 4, 2009. We remained in the RV until the Cracker House was Gutted and remodeled. (Part of the kitchen was left as it was. I wanted the CABINETS.)We worked on the house for almost 4 years. We moved into the Cracker House and out of the RV in September 2011. It was not totally finish. Not by a long shot. We also need the RV to cook etc for months.
Lake Kissimmee State Park manages Rolling Meadows Ranch. LKSP also Manages Allen David Broussard Catfish Creek Preserve State Park (CCPSP) or Catfish Creek. LKSP also manages a place called Money Tree and a few other tracks of land.Lake Kissimmee State Park also leases pasture land. All the pastures seen from LKSP to RMR on both sides of the road belong to LKSP.Rolling Meadows Ranch connects to CCPSP. So LKSP has almost 20,000 areas to manage. Rolling Meadows Ranch is the largest of the 3. It's where we take our NIGHTLY DRIVES that I talk about. It's more of our Evening Rides because we usually get home around Dark.
Catfish Creek runs through CCPSP and RMR. I'm usually speaking of RMR'S Section of it. SO HAVE I TOTALLY CONFUSED YOU? It takes time to fully understand all we do.

Mowed The Yard From Fence To Fence
Feeling pretty good. I AM NOT a morning person. I am a late night ..can’t sleep gal.
So when I walked out the door 30 minutes after I got Danny off and started up the lawn mower…I was on a roll. Almost 3 hours later I was cleaning the grass /weeds from the mower. Blowing it off.
Shower taken. Now What? This was taken a few weeks ago.
