back to blogging

Well its pretty bad that I have not posted anything on this blog since last November.  The worst is that I really do have a lot to show you. We are still out here in the Boondocks making the house our own.  Almost have it all done the way we want it. Still have the bathrooms and laundry to do.  Finished the guest room and my office/craft room.  Really like how they came out. I will be posting pictures.

Here is the final from the guest room. As you can see I went with purples, lavenders, greens in this room, The bedspread was the inspiration for the room. Still need a dresser or bookshelves or something (I'll know when I find it) for the one wall, and some wall decor for around the bed. The bed we got from my son. love it. One of the things we didn't count on was how high the mattressess would be, but I like them this way just need a stool it reach them.

here is a link for a blog I read, reallly enjoy it.

But I have been busy with life in general and remodeling the house.  Have finally got all the hard work done in the office/craft room space, now it just need furniture, I know what I want its just a mattter of going to Houston and buying it all at Ikea.  We will have to get a truck to load it all into Here are some before, during and after pictures

Snake eating Catfish

Okay yesterday Tommy was out fishing on the dock and called to me to bring the camera, This is what he was watching
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIERLEBgB-4
This is a big water snake catching a catfish, the snake is about 3-4 foot and the fish is10=12 inches long
We kept watching and the snake got the fish to the bank(had to put Callie in the garage-she was barking like crazy) and had it by the side of the mouth

In this last video the snake was able to get the fish by the front of its head and started swallowing it, the fish was still alive at this point, but I don't think it lasted much longer Right after this the snake took the fish into the water and we couldn't see it anymore. Would have like to see how long it took to eat the whole fish and what the snake looked like with the fish inside it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGbG2FmRwIo
