Over lunch I was eating a grapefruit and started thinking about my Grandma and Grandpa and how much fun we used to always have at the family farm with EVERYONE. You may wonder why a grapefruit could stir up all these memories…we used to always have them at breakfast whenever we were there. The only other time it seemed we ever had grapefruit was on Christmas morning. Weird I know.
My first memory from lunch: My cousin, closest in age to me would get so mad after we rode Prairie Jane, the horse, because my mom and dad would have to knock me out with Benadryl because of my allergies and we couldn’t play! Still every time I had the chance I got on Prairie Jane!
My second lunch memory: My Uncle would have baby piggies sometimes and every time we held them they would pee on us. But still every time we held them! We couldn’t resist the piggy squeal. We never learned (or didn’t care to).
I’m glad I was old enough to remember all this stuff.
One time when there were cows my cousin dared my brother and I to run through the feeding pen to the other side. We did…it was scary! I remember one time when we had to help my Uncle's move the pigs into the big semi super early in the morning with big fence things. My brother got in trouble because he wasn’t helping and let two pigs get through our human fence.
Well that was my lunch…Isn’t it funny how one grapefruit can bring you back 20 years?!?

Hello Blogging World...
My intent is to write my thoughts and stories as they happen in my daily life. Everyone continues to tell me I need to keep writing, as to maintain my English degree skills. Yeah, look where thats gotten me. I work at a church with non-christians. Yes, you read that right. Church work has definitely jaded my view on Christianity. Not the idea of being a Christian, but the idea of who is behind it in present day. Things I have heard and seen in the church office,...well lets just say I don't think its what God intended. Anyway, enough ranting about my job. For now let's just see how this first post gets posted!
