KELLEY POOR FARM

Hi friends and family...
Here is the rough draft of what I keep threatening to do if Brad OR anyone else gets, or gives us any more animals....
THE KELLEY'S POOR FARM
is hosting a petting zoo between the hours of 5-8
on ????? day.
Animals that will be included in the petting zoo will be
4 pigs, that you can get in the pen with and chase
1 mule,
1 pony that is available to be rode without a saddle
2 rabbits,
2 cats,
6 dogs and
a hermit crab

Contest will includepig riding, speedest dog bath, and find the prize in the dog poo (shovels & disposal location included)

The cost is well how can I put this....Each family needs to bring 1- 50 lb dog food, 1-20lb cat food, 1-20lb of rabbit food, 1-50lb bag of sweet stuff (horse and pigs), and a hermit crab sponge..

Now for the legal matters----
we are not responsible for pig poop on shoes,
mule kicks,
when the pony bends down to eat grass, the over the neck drop
rabbit bites,
cat hair on anything
dog bites,
pinches from the hermit crab
orany other accidents not stated

AS OF NOW THIS IS NOT REAL BUT IT IS IN THE PLANNING PROCESS!

10 years

Graduation is approaching for the class of 2007, and I can't help but think back to 10 years ago when I was in the graduating class of 1997. Looking back it can seem forever ago, and then again it almost seems like yesterday. I wonder all the time about what if's and what could have been and seem to think this is not what I thought I would have been doing or where I would be in life.
Losing a classmate and best friend in 2000 was what I thought to be the end of the world, but after a very difficult few years I met my husband and now have a wonderful son who is the light of my life.

I know that when and if the 10 year reunion happens that it will bring up alot of feelings that are going to be beyond my control and I know that there are alot of people who I can't wait to see and others who always thought they were better than everyone else. I have learned that everyday life to an extent is like high school, the rumors still happen, the backstabbing still happens, and it just gets worse the older you get.

True friends are truely hard to find I have been in contact with a few from school and I can say that there is one friend who I now have that in school we were both believed to have hated one another only to find out neither one of us hated the other. I have apologized to her and I hope that I will get to see her and her family in person other than in pictures.

I think we need to have a friends reunion, just the close group I was in in high school, how I long hear about their lives, family and every day journeys. It's been a bad few months and I can't thank my friends enough for the encouragement and the help they have given me. Since getting married in 2003 it has been a rocky, curvy road for me but we are stomping and beating down that horrible path to clear the way for our son. We will have soon be able to say we made it through hell and back.

So to the class of 2007 stand strong, keep in touch and good luck.

Newest Angel in Heaven

Papaw Crabb earned his angel wings at about 3 this morning. It is with a heavy heart that I share this news but I'm rejoicing the fact that he is pain free. He is flying high among the clouds, or else he is riding tractors around heaven. Thanks for all who has prayed for a painless, quick journey. For it is not good bye papaw but just tutuloo for now.

Life and Death

With Papaw Crabb being diagnosed April 3 with lung cancer and them giving him a year with treatment, too now here it is May 1 and looking at hours, maybe days, we (I) start to questions God and his motives.
I know you are not to question GOD and I know that we can't help the circle of life but why are we over joyed at a birth and saddened at a death. I guess with only being around a few I consider myself lucky but then again can we say that is lucky.

I have asked for prayers for Papaw and that he doesn't experience any pain and that he has a quick journey to heaven. You know how when you are young and it seems that your grandparents were old then and they would always be there. Well that is how I see papaw, and knowing he won't has made me upset in taking things for granite on telling people how much they mean to you and thanks for helping you with things.

This world is losing a wonderful man, but heaven is gaining a precious angel.

So I question things about cancer and why is there not a cure, and will they ever find a cure.
Cancer is a beast and it is becoming more and more commen in everyone - children, men and women of all ages. Please pray for all who are effect by this nasty beast.

As an older friend used to say before his passing
Thanks for Listening.
