Well today is our 12 year anniversary. It sure has gone by fast!
There have been a lot of changes in the past 12 years.
One was job changes.
I got out of trucking and in to cleaning and now I have an office job where I now sit and “boss” others on cleaning.
It’s funny how things happen….
I got in to cleaning because I was getting bad out of shape. FAT!
My weight just kept creeping up so I thought I’d do some cleaning work when I was home from trucking.
Well the cleaning bizz kept growing and I wanted out of trucking to have a family. So I got solely in to cleaning.
Well in time we had Nyle. This brought on a new plan. Jen and I both felt it was important to bring Nyle up with his grandparents in
I wanted Nyle to have a farm to grow up on and Papa to do stuff with.
So we moved.
Now I have an office job supervising cleaning where I pretty much sit on my behind, answer the phone, attend meetings, make up work schedules, etc.
So basically, as I said before, I pretty much sit on my behind. This is what I was doing when I was driving a truck and decided to do some cleaning for my health.
Now my bad cholesterol is not good and my “good” cholesterol is bad too. This is due mostly because of my job. I was able to get this position because I was in the cleaning business (for my health).My health is now not so great because I got in to the cleaning business for my health!
So I’ve been trying to eat healthier. I try to do some outside things when I get home. I have my chickens to feed and water. I also have a pig to look after. Soon I hope to be plowing the garden and raising some corn, watermelon, squash, cucumbers, and maybe some beets. I am starting to like beets. This means I am getting old. As far as I ever knew, while growing up, the only people who liked beets were old. I ate some on my salad (for my health) today. I also must plant some turnip greens. It isn’t because I love turnip greens so much (I do love them). I think southern nostalgia plays a part in some of the things I do, and long for. Like good catfish. I miss fishing for them and eating them!
I love to fish but especially for BIG catfish. I think the most fun is to go big cat fishing and brim fishing, when they are on the bed. You can always tell by looking at the red clover growing along the road when it’s time to go brim fishing. When clover gets the red tops flowering out, get some crickets and go brim fishing. They are the best way to introduce a kid to fishing. The brim fight hard. The action is fast. And the fish are small enough for kids to land them easy enough. Brim is the southern word for blue gill.)
So that's the news for today...
I wonder if Jen would like to go fishing for our anniversary????
