Oh, where to begin? Too many weird things to list....well, weird to all the folks I know. Now, there may be a few people out there who feel like I do....but I feel I was born 150 years too late! I don't like all the things that the modern woman is supposed to like, I can pretty well do anything the ol' pioneer women did and I LOVE it! I don't like cell phones, cable TV, society, too much noise, bratty kids, spoiled dogs and cats, dogs who bark incessantly, ignorant city folk....or all ignorant folk, for that matter.
I love beautiful things, good smells, soft textures, good music and laughter.....lots and lots of laughter and joy!
Would love to live in a cob/hay bale house, with a windmill, off the grid, on a large farm and turn back the clock. As a matter of fact....I don't want to wear a watch anymore! I want to live by the movement of the sun, moon and stars.....and, of course, be awakened gently by my sweet rooster, Sue-p.
In what ways am I different....countless. A few things that are REALLY different, I guess....I love the smell of skunks! I do! I like to "eat" my buttermilk with a spoon. I shave my legs every day ( I just love that smooth feeling)! I can't wait to die and go to heaven! I am enjoying the teen years (3 boys I am raising by myself). I don't like having to answer the phone or the door when I am not prepared for company. I paint with acrylics on old barn boards....I like to do miniatures. I make wind chimes out of antique silver ware and metal do-dads and pretty beads. Other than God, my children and my mother, I feel completely alone on this spinning rock...too different to fit in and not willing to change. I love to read! I want to go skydiving, whitewater rafting, surfing and I would like to trail drive before I die. I really miss passionate kisses. I love to see an eagle fly. I can't stop staring at the stars...they fascinate me and let me know that God is with me. See....too hard to single out the many ways I am different.
