Look Who is the Birthday Girl...

There is a Birthday Girl in our family in July....and that girl is me!

There will be no band playing and no parade. But there will be BIG changes for Meggie on the Prairie.

With the upcoming birthday, I've had to take a hard look at what direction my next step in life will become.

When the first digit on your birthday number changes to a higher number, you realize that your work load may need to be re-adjusted.

So, I've decided to sell the farm and buy something that will free me to explore more of my creative side. I want to have time to sew and paint on canvas again. More time to explore my Scottish ancestry. There will still be decorating projects and a new garden to create.

Starting this week, I will post about my "new" historic turn-of-the-century home. My hopes are that you will continue to follow me on this new journey in my life.

I will still be living on the prairie....just moving a few miles down the road.

Birthday Wishes Today

To the little blonde haired girl, with the sun in her eyes and sporting the pretend sheriff's badge.








Little did we know, my darling, that the pretend would become a reality!

Happy Birthday to my grown-up daughter.....

Happy Birthday Little Cowgirl

Yesterday was my youngest daughters' birthday...
She was 5 years old in the photo taken so many years ago.

Now, she is all grown up!

My Mom, the Cowgirl

Although the quality of the photo is poor, you can still see the first woman on the right is my Mom many years ago. She was a cowgirl for the day, riding on the back of a convertible in the local small-town Texas parade.

This morning as I was looking over the list of errands for the day, my mind drifted over to my Mom. She is the January Birthday Girl in our family.

My Mom, not surprising to our family, is still keeping up the many chores of her home, cooking the meals and in charge of the monies and budget. She also likes to put together 1,000 piece puzzles and play dominoes.

She did give up driving a couple of years ago. But, she can still sit in the front seat and give the driver "directions".

Are you asking yourself, "What is so unusual about these qualities in a mother?"

Well, my Mom celebrated her 89th birthday this month......and baked her own birthday cake for her family to enjoy! I guess in some ways, my Mom is still a cowgirl.

Happy Birthday Mom!
