I guess you could say our plate has been full for months at Lucky Bronc. Our family has grown and our travels have been crazy. This week I was able to sit still and focus my energies on little bit of business. Hope to set up this fall at some local  shows... It's been a while :) I have been taking some time to take care of family... 
   School is getting too close for comfort and along with that comes shopping. Check out some of our new jewelry on the web site and watch us on FB for our fun giveaways. www.LuckyBronc.com

Lucky me!!! I made it through the first semester of college with only a few bumps and bruises. I get to start my second semester Monday. I'm very excited about what the future holds. I know everyone thinks I have dropped off of the face of the earth as I have been spending the majority of my time jolting this old brain into work mode again. We will be introducing some new spring items soon and as always we will offer our faithful FB friends some great perks in the near future. I feel a give-away coming on.
 
Some of you have seen my post about Heather Wood. Heather was an educator from our old stompin grounds before our big move. Many of you know I have a soft spot for children and wonderful educators and .... dogs, horses, well just about any animal... (esp babies) Take a moment and be truly thankful for your health and if you have a chance go check out her story and help if you can. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Happy Birthday to my Mom!!! Grandma Susan would be so proud of all of her babies. It is so crazy to me that we lost her at such a young age and yet she lives on so strongly in all of her children and our children and now her great grandchildren. She fought such a courageous battle but her body couldn't rally any more strength. The loss for us as children is just too huge to describe even to this day. The strength of family and the strength she passed on to us is what carried us through those dark times. The tears I cry now are still tears of sadness for our loss, but more often tears of joyous memories that I share with my children and grandchildren. So today on grandma Susan's birthday I will close my eyes for a moment and be thankful for the brief time we had her here. I'm thankful for every bit of energy she put into her children when her own survival took so much of it. I'm thankful for her favorite things that became some of my favorite things. I'm thankful for the absolute love I felt as a child and still feel as an adult. I'm thankful for who I am today because of the mother I was blessed with. So happy Happy HAPPY Birthday to Grandma Susan. Some day we shall meet again but for now keep smiling down on all of your babies!!!

Well today reality hits home. We are off to pick up Rileys class schedule. Monday it is back to "gotta function in the morning" mode. Not our favorite mode but on the plus side we do seem to manage our time more effectively. Not as much time wasted in front of the TV... I would love to do away with the television in our house! We have done it twice, once for a whole year and the second time was only 6 months. I think it is a waste of time but I sure do get sucked into crazy things like Duck Dynasty, Big Bang Theory, and all of the Junking/Treasure shows. So with the start of the NEW schedule say a prayer for me! My life is going to get a good shake and bake this year. Good luck to all of my school kids and teachers. I feel a GREAT year in the making. 

This morning I worked myself into a tizzy! One week left before school starts. My list of unfinished projects filling my brain. The utter chaos I have allowed to consume my life looms over me like one of those dementors from the Harry Potter stories. How did the whole summer get by without me getting even a little more organized than I was at years end? Not only does Riley start 7th grade but I am going back to school as a NON typical Freshman. Is anyone else having problems breathing right now? Lol

Then I remembered the little BiG thing about worry. It doesn't really change the situation... At least not for the better. So my task for today is to BREATHE. I'm going to set a very attainable goal and see what happens. I am hoping that by slowing my brain down and really trying to focus on one task to the finish then I will change my never ending pattern of chaos. Sounds so simple but here it goes.

Such a great week! Had a great girls night/sewing party with all of the Texas family. I got to visit with some of my favorite kids from Blue Ridge. Did a great promotion for LB. Had a hen party at my sisters it was SEW much fun. Hubby has a long weekend home AND get to see family again today for summer B-Day celebrations... In addition to all of this greatness we are trying out a new church tomorrow. Oh and did I mention the weather has been perfect. Funny how you can feel totally renewed from a week of LOvE. 

Nope not talking about the rain. The movie Mud is pure awesomeness!!! I really had no desire to watch it just ordered it on Direct TV PPV. Soooo glad I did.

The thunder Rolled for the better part of the afternoon. It sounded like it was coming a flood. Two showers later and I could still see dust coming up from hoof prints. Then we finally got a good shower that left some puddles. So thankful for the rain!
