Peach brandy day one

So I told the guys on my line about my millions of peaches and one says "hey you can make peach brandy in a 10x10 cell, I bet you can make it even better at home" So cross your fingers ladies and gents I am attempting to make peach brandy and you are coming along on the ride (too bad I can only share the pictures and not the smell as I embark on this venture :) )

Millions of peaches

It is harvest time or rapidly coming up on serious harvest time. Today we took the kids, my brothers JW and myself and went to my grandpa's house and picked peaches keep in mind this is just one young tree the poor thing was so weighted down with fruit we are going to get lots of various preserves from these babies!

Fun Times

So I love My Kids, All of them mine by blood and mine by JW but every two week my littles go to their dads house my oldest goes to my moms house and JWs are at their moms house so it is just JW and me. Last night we took advantage of no kids and went to the bar with some friends C and I We shoot a little pool played a little Beer pong listened to I sing and danced a bit in general had a good time. I have not had so much fun in a long time either kids prevented it or someone was ashamed of me too much to take me somewhere like that or whatever the case for whatever reason last night was the first time in nearly 27 years that I have gone out to a bar with friends, and the first time in who knows how long I relaxed enough around a large number of people to just be me and have fun, no hiding behind an excuse or a mask just cut loose and had real fun and it wasn't even a lot of alcohol for me it was mostly just me and that is refreshing.

a hard week

this week felt like it has gone on forever it starts with my learning a lesson about trusting people if I appear to be a little more withdrawn I am sorry I just learned the hard way gossip mongers and backstabbers didnt stay in high school they just got better at it...also I went to the doctor because of my constant back pain and was diagnosed with scolioius(no comments about jeff dunham and polious are need the fam took care of that already lol ) i am on two pain releaver/ muscle relaxers and start physical therepy next week. and lastly my washer machine broke and i have about a thousand loads of laundry to do lol so if you live in pahrump or las vegas and know of a cheep working washer for sale lemme know please!

A new start

And so here I am taking inspiration from a friend and vowing to blog at least once a week! This week has been totally wicked awesome! I reconnected with a friend from my child hood we have not seen each other of talked in 16 years! and yet we are both in the culinary field of work *Laughs* I am on cloud 9 and my mind has been racing remembering all the good times we had as kids and now we are grown each with 3 kids of our own!

I know this is a short blog but next weeks will be longer i promise
