A few years ago, I called 9-11 because of a huge snake under my chair on the porch. Animal control was here within ten minutes, and identified it as a diamondback rattlesnake. It was so large, they could not get it in the container to remove it from my property.

They man had it held just below its head, with a long pair of tongs. He raised the tongs all the way over his head, and the tail was still dragging the ground.

He said it was the biggest rattler he had ever seen, in his 12 years with animal control!

The javelina are relatively safe (just don't FEED them!) Last month, I had seventeen in my yard!

Good afternoon, everyone.

I started posting this a couple of hours ago ..... but I stopped to watch Pope Francis be introduced.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

Hugs to all of My Dear Friends.

[JustAmy]

Hey, Friend!!

Thank you so much for the Hugs!!

It is great to see you.
I'm looking forward to the day when I am able to spend more time here.
I miss everyone.

Marissa was 13 in December and both of us are dealing with her being a teenager. LOL

Have a Fantastic Warm Fuzzy Wednesday!

Hugs back atcha.

Hi Amy, its so good to see you once again. I thought I would be on longer today but I’m still very tired. It’ll probably be a while before I am regular on Amy’s Place. I need a lot of rest and need to do some work but decided to put work off. I will just straighten up and live here as it really doesn’t matter much. In other words, I will only do what I feel like doing. (I sort of do that anyway.)

And friends, I love all of you and appreciate the prayers and will thank you for any prayers you offer for me. God truly blessed me for letting me meet all these great friends of Amy’s Place and I am grateful to Him. Even though I’ve never seen any of you but you are all like my very best friends.

Its chilly here today and I will be so glad for warm weather once again. Thank goodness, Spring is on its way and it can’t get here too soon for me.

Sending my love and best wishes to ALL OF YOU, DEAR FRIENDS!

((((((hugs)))))))

Great to see you today,Teenie.
Sorry that I have been AWOL so much of the last 3 or 4 months.
Seems like the days are about 6 hours too short.

Good to see that you are doing okay.
You are in my prayers.

Thank you for the sweet Wednesday graphic.

Have a beautiful day.

[JustAmy]

Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday, LTOS.

Love your graphic ...
reminds me to let you know that Marissa has resumed her guitar lessons.
We took a hiatus during foggy January and February.
She was more than ready to get back to her lessons. :)

Wishing you a delightful Wednesday.

[JustAmy]

Good Warm Fuzzy afternoon, Yorkie.

Thanks for sharing the picture of your javelinas. :)
When I told Marissa, she said "Seventeen????!!!!!"
She will be excited to see this after school today.

Have a beautiful afternoon.

[JustAmy]

So good to see you here today, Jaycee.

Take it easy and do not do more than your body is ready to do. Housework is not that important ... I put off more than I did a couple of years ago. Things just seem to take longer to accomplish.

[jaycee]

What a pretty yard!! Is that your yard, yorkie??

[jaycee]

Thank you, Amy. Its good to see you again. Glad you were on the thread today. I think about Marissa a lot. I know she is growing up fast! How old is she now anyway?

Hope things are going well in your little corner of the world! I’ve missed seeing ya!

[luvie]

...and I'll accompany them!
...on Warm & Fuzzy Wednesday!

[JustAmy]

I can hardly believe that Marissa is 13. Seems like just yesterday that she came to live with us when she was 4 1/2. These 9 years have flown by so fast.

We are working our way thru this teenage stuff. Everyone tells me what we are experiencing is normal for teenage girls. LOL

I remember the years worrying about length of his hair with JustJr. Now, I worry about Marissa’s choice in clothes. They aren’t really that bad but I miss my sweet little girl that was happy with whatever clothes I chose to buy. LOL

Thanks, Amy! Here's another picture to show her - but I could only get eleven in this shot!

[yorkie]

Hi, JC! Yes, that is part of my front yard. I just posted another pic of more javeila in my yard!

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Luv.
Great to see you and your guitar playing kitty.

Wishing you a Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

Hugs

[JustAmy]

She will love seeing both pictures!

[luvie]

Good to see you, too, Amy! You’ve been a busy gal! :)

I know what you mean about the clothes things. Mine were boys but the same behavior. They had their taste in clothes (just like the other boys wore) and it was impossible that I pick out something for them to wear unless it was what everyone else was wearing. Those teenage years are hard but when she gets in her late teens and into her 20’s, things change drastically. Its still that Mom and child thing. Mama’s don’t know anything about clothes....LOL!!

I, too, remember the years where I could get them anything and they loved it BUT that sure changed. But now, when I see their grown-up problems, I think how simple those other things really were. I guess Mom’s were put here to worry, don’t you? One thing you can be sure of with Marissa, this all will pass and one day you may say, “I wish I had those times back!” Don’t forget it won’t be long until the dating years and talk about worry.....oh my!!
