Mustang 'n' Baby...

Congratulations Greeting Card ~
Verse Inside:
Now I lay me down to sleep, As I count horses instead of sheep. Knowing that I am watched with special care...That if I cry, mommy and daddy will soon be there! As I explore and survey the world around me, I am unaware of the angels watching to see...That I am safe and all my needs are met, As my destiny to be a cowboy is surely kept. It will take years to know just how much that I am loved, By my family, friends, and the Heavenly Father above! by Janey Loree Fisher

I just received update pictures of little Clay Michael! The Mustang 'n' Baby items over on our website, PJ's Corner Gift Shoppe, have his name on them!! Clay is now 18 months old and I got to see him over at the stables last night!!! He is a natural with animals too! I had tied a short piece of twine to Rusty, our Queensland and Border Collie, and walked around to where my youngest son, Anthony and Clay's parents and Steve the president of Franklin Field Horsemen's Association were talking.

After Clay took me by the hand and led me over to stand with the grown-ups, he took the twine out of my hand and took Rusty for a walk to go meet one of the horses. It was adorable to watch him lead Rusty. Clay learned very fast how to switch hands when Rusty would turn and spin Clay around. His mom, Amanda, said that Clay loved riding horses!

HELP!!!

I need someone to check on a couple of links to two songs that I recorded and have listed in the right-hand column. I have a friend that is having problems getting to the file and I would appreciate some input from you! Do you have trouble with the file or can you hear the songs? I am taken right to the website that is hosting my songs and don't know if that is because I have an account with esnips.com or not. Thank you ahead of time for taking the time to help me out!

Here is a different link to each song:

Morning Glories 'n' Garden Things...

Because of a special order, PJ's Corner Gift Shoppe has created a new design...with flowers and butterflies of coarse!

"Morning Glories 'n' Garden Things" pictures a trellis covered with morning glories as Monarch butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and a hawkmoth surround the flowers. This design is available on greeting cards of all occasions, note cards, postcards, gift cards, lined and unlined stationery, bookmarks, scrapbook stickers, shopping lists, magnets, calendars, theme booklets and a gift bag filled with these matching items. Add a special touch with personalization or order the generic version!

The poem on the birthday card reads:

As the morning glories open each morning in the dew covered bed,
With simple beauty that could be used to crown a queen's head,
Butterflies, bees, hummingbirds and moths gather the pollen and play,
Basking in the sunshine throughout your beautiful April birthday!

Update...

I am putting together an update to the "You're not going to believe this" post. After telling "the family" about how Sharon Lynne over at California Breeze and I found out that we are related, they wrote back with comments and memories that I would like to share in this update post. I have included in this post a favorite picture of mine.

You're not going to believe this...

Can you imagine our shock when we found out that we were related by marriage? That's right!!! Sharon Lynne from "California Breeze" and I are cousins! If I had not joined BLOG VILLAGE, then I would not have found the Gatekeeper's blog, "Pieces of Me" after she joined. And that means that I would not have found a link to Sharon Lynne's blog, "California Breeze". And if my sons (who own mustang horses) had not bought dirt bikes to get back and forth to work, I would not have had an interest in her dirt bike posts. Then again, if we had not written a children's book blogged about over at twigletbook.blogspot.com, I would not have been interested in her "Wednesday Writer's Club" posts! Or, if Sharon Lynne had not been a regular over at "Mustang 'n' Cowboys"...the "had not's" list on and on! The following is a chronicle of our discovery from the comments on my "2007 Arizona Vacation" post...

Sharon Lynne said...

The Arizona desert is so beautiful. My husband's Aunt and Uncle lived in Arizona their entire lives--owned land and a home in the desert town of Arlington. The nearest bigger town was Buckeye. I loved visiting them. They grew cotton. My husband and I would take their jeep out into the desert. These pictures brought back memories of how awesome the desert looks. Aunt and Uncle have passed away now, but we miss those times.

NO WAY!!! The reunion was in Arlington! My mother's family is from that area and she was born on the Jago Ranch in Arlington. My great Grandpa Richardson's ranch is in Arlington! No wonder the pictures brought back memories...it was the same area!!! What is Aunt and Uncle's name?

3/05/2007 11:25 PM

Sharon Lynne said...

Oh my gosh! My husband's Aunt and Uncle are Bob and Alma Richardson! Alma is my husband's mother's sister. Does this mean that you and my husband might be cousins? (in law?)

Janey Loree said...

Hi Cousin CB!!
This is awesome! Mandy & Carolyn are my mother's first cousins! Uncle Bob is her father's brother...Walter Richardson. My mother thinks that she met Bill's mother at Aunt Alma's funeral? I can't believe this...
I have a post on Notes that has a picture of the purple glass that I bought of Aunt Alma's. It is:

Well, well, well, this is quite wonderful, most excellent and all that jazz. Wow!!!!

3/07/2007 11:09 AM

Janey Loree said...

Yes isn't it!!! And the thanks for this family discovery goes to you GateKeeper!!! I found Sharon Lynne's blog, "California Breeze" on your blog, "Pieces of Me"!!!

The GateKeeper said...

I know, I know. It's such an honor. Little ole me. I feel like I've done something important here. And it was totally fun. Enjoy the week.

3/07/2007 12:50 PM

Janey Loree said...

You have GateKeeper! Enjoy your week too!!

3/07/2007 1:08 PM

Sharon Lynne said...

I'm a little quiet, because I'm busy writing up a post about this...

3/07/2007 5:17 PM

Janey Loree said...

Me too!!!

3/07/2007 7:33 PM

To put this into perspective...Uncle Bob and Aunt Alma are Sharon's husbands aunt and uncle, with him being related to Aunt Alma. They are my great uncle and aunt, with me being related to Uncle Bob! So that makes us...cousins by marriage...right!!!??? I don't know how the once removed and all that works...we have settled on calling each other "Cuz".

On a thoughtful note...this shows me that there certainly is "to every thing a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven*"! There is a time to blog and find new blogs, a time to post pictures and comment on them, and a time to find out that one of the billions of blogs that are out there is written by someone you are related to!!!

My brother, Doug and his Chihuahua Luke, went to the '07 Family Reunion on the 18th and stayed for a week on the desert. His guide was our mother's cousin, Sam. Doug didn't get any pictures of the reunion, so I am waiting for those to come in from the relatives! It looks like next year there will be several dune buggies and jeeps at the reunion! I remember the family reunion held in 1985 by ride down the wash in my second cousin Kevin's Jeep. He took Travis and Tony and I to "Tony's Well". The well is named after a great uncle.
Doug got back yesterday and ended up taking me out in his desert runner. Travis and Tony jumped on their dirt bikes and lead the way up into the mountains behind our town. I will share some of those pictures in a slideshow tomorrow.
