Even when you are just going to work for a couple of minutes suit up. Rubber boots, a plastic apron, (mine is a large trash bag with arm and head hole), and rubber gloves. I am not sharing how many times I had to come in and change clothes because I ended up soaked or covered in grinding slag. My shoes suffered because of the water /mud you are working in. I am doing it under the carport, calchie floor. <div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IL3KdZqCKuA/WApFL98H7nI/AAAAAAAAG88/5-YKC9CJ3ec/s640/blogger-image--1490651565.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IL3KdZqCKuA/WApFL98H7nI/AAAAAAAAG88/5-YKC9CJ3ec/s640/blogger-image--1490651565.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">There is a second reason to rubber up. First day I was playing with my wet grinder I didn't at all and got shocked. I do NOT do electricity!!! I had to do some serious self talk and reading to get me to pick it up again. In reading I found even though there is a breaker to keep you from really frying enough static electricity is generated to get a tingle. Since I am super sensitive to it, just ask my dh the tingle was more than I wanted. I have not experienced any since. I always wear rubber gloves and if I plan on really working mud boots. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I started out taking LOTs of pictures.

It's called "The Enchanted Circle". It is a circle from Angel Fire, through Eagles Nest, on to Red River then Questa, Taos, and finally back to Angle Fire. We camp about 16 miles below Angle fire. Some days the fog hovers over the valley when we get to Angel Fire then we drive above it and can look down on the clouds. This trip wasn't like that. <br />
<br />
These pictures are at a couple of little lakes below Red River, on the Red River. Fawn Lakes is the name of it. We usually stop and fishermen fish while I take pictures or just hang out. <br />

After we left there heading toward Questa we saw these big horn sheep at another camp ground. We turned around and got some pictures of them. We have saw them before at the Rio Grande Gorge at Taos, but never along this road. <br />

New stop was the Wild River http://www.blm.gov/nm/st/en/prog/recreation/taos/wild_rivers_rec_area.html . It is where the Red River meets the Rio Grande. It is a LONG ways from the driving area to where they meet. I had wanted to hike down which wouldn't be too hard, but the thought of hiking back out was enough to stop me. I think it is around 800 feet to the bottom. <br />

I LOVE Morphy Lake! It is a TINY lake on top of a mountain. The road going up to it is one lane and has a couple of switch backs. Max. length for rv's is 19 ft. So we don't camp there, just day visit. It is about a mile to walk all the way around the lake. That is what I do while the others fish. These are the pictures I took this trip. <br />

El Morro is also known as Inscription Rock. It has writings dating back to 1600s. It has a pool of water at the bottom that was a most welcome site in this dry land for travelers of all nationalities. <br />
<br />
You can start to get an idea of how large it is by seeing how small the kids look walking in front of me as we start around to look at the writings. The pool is straight in front, right at the curve of the mountain. <br />

I love this picture. It is kinda hard to see but there is a crack, between the rock that is the main mountain and the other rock that stands alone. <br />

I didn't know until I made it to the top that the other side of El Morro is a box canyon. I found that really neat. These pictures are the inside of the canyon. We walked around the U to the other side to come down to the parking lot. <br />

Here is another shot of the rock that has the crack separating it from the main part of the mountain.<br />

I found this tree interesting. This picture doesn't really show how it was laying, I was trying to show the saddle that this tree has worn as it grew in the rock. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now you get the more or less full picture. The saddle part is in the rock above the stairs. This is on top of the mesa<br />

Stay on the trail! That is what we were told. The trail is chiseled into the the rock, back in the 30's. If you look close you can see two lines in the rock that denote the trail <br />

I was MUCH slower than the kids as you can see in how fast they went down. The buildings were in the distance below. <br />

Today was a lot of fun. We went to the Malpais which is Spanish for badlands. It is a volcanic flow or three. Here or some of the pics I took<br />
<br />
I thought this was a cool tree. I wonder how old it is. My guess is very old.<br />

This is what the rocks on the "hiking trail" looked like at their smallest.<br />

Colors didn't show up as well as wanted on the pretty little flowers in front of this cactus. <br />

This was the rock cairns that we used to keep track of the "trail" across the malpais. <br />

It is hard to see the two cairns of rock in this picture across the lava. It was a tough 1/2 hike taking about an hour to do the mile. We could have did a 3 mile round trip but chickened out. Walking was HARD.<br />

Can you see the "trail" between me and the kids in the picture? This is what the whole trail was like.<br />

This was the natural bridge over some of the lava flow. It helps you see how huge and deep this are. <br />

Refilling my better than bullion jars. I didn't remake the Wake-up. Instead I left the tiny bit left in the bottom and made an Eczema 2 recipe. The "anti-aging" I renamed healing salve. It works really well for diaper rash and scratches or what ever else needs healing. My very favorite was the Histamine Cream. This was amazing when we went camping and the skitters invaded. It would stop an itch quickly. </span></b></div>

is what I have started for my two boys who are having issues with
rules. I am using metal washers for the tokens. They have 12 to start
with. If they loose them oh well less to give me before they sit. In

they have two different colors of washers. <span></span></span></b></span></span></span></div>

could make your own list and "carrot" (swimming). Use the issues that
are driving you nuts. I think loosing something seems to help them
see. I know one of mine argues about things so bad. He is called on
something and starts arguing. I just hold my hand out. He then decided
to toss the washer at my hand, missing so he lost ANOTHER one. Seems
both washers found my hand after that. This is day two. Yesterday one
of mine swam for 5 minutes. He wasn't impressed with having to get out

I used Naked Salve 1/2, coco butter 1/4, and shea butter 1/4 for this. I added extra bees wax to the naked salve. I filled better than bullion jars about 3/4 full of the above. These are all healing salves. The number beside the EO oil is how many drops I used of each kind. I added that to the jar then poured the warm melted salve in. Cover with a paper towel and let cool. Posting here so I can find it when I want to make more. I use a blend of this all time instead of lotion. My battle with eczema has taken a turn for the better in doing this. I have another blog post with some of these basic ideas and then was reading and so blended. I plan on using the wake up of a morning since both lemon and bergamot are oils to lift your mood and wake you up. The anti-aging?? why not play with it :) <br />

As a Church group we spend the weekend at the Sand Hills again. This year proved to be WINDY. Setting up tents wasn't very fun, and then Friday night the wind blew all night. We woke up to cloudy COLD winds. Temps in the 50s but add 30 mph winds and you are sand blasted. Still it was fun! </div>

We had about 40 people. Most of them under 18!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think there were 10 above, figure the 12 and under crowd added to about 16, that leaves some teens!</div>

One very interesting thing we learned is just how good lavender is on sunburn. Several, ok many were a tad sunburned yesterday and those that used doTERRA Lavender had no pain, no redness this morning those that didn't................... I did offer it to anyone. :)</div>

You may want to maintain your journal online, or in paper form. When deciding
which route to take in selecting a journal, think about whether you'd rather
type or print, where you'd like to do the bulk of your writing, and whether
privacy is an issue that may affect your decision.<br />

You can write long, descriptive paragraphs about what you appreciate in your
daily life, or your gratitude journal can consist entirely of lists. You can
write about a preset number of items per entry (10 per day, for example). Or,
you can just resolve to write about whatever seems right for a particular day.
The main idea is to get yourself into a place of reflection and gratitude. Do
what works best for you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

An important aspect of the long-term success of your gratitude journal is the
frequency with which you use it. It's usually best to aim for once a day in the
beginning, or several times per week, but allow yourself some wiggle room if
things get busy. You want to make a commitment that will keep you inspired to
write, even if you aren't always in the mood, because this exercise can help <i>change</i>
your mood). Just don't allow that to be so rigid that you'll be tempted to give
up the whole plan if you slip up once or twice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Many people find that their whole attitude changes once they've been keeping a prayer
journal for a while; they tend to notice things throughout the day that they
may want to include in the journal -- things they wouldn't have otherwise
noticed. To maintain a more optimistic attitude, be sure to write regularly. If
you find yourself skipping days with increasing frequency, gently remind
yourself why you're maintaining the journal in the first place, and be grateful
that you are able to get back into the habit of writing again anytime you want.
Enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

can find, which inspires them to fill it with beautiful things, and have a nice
keepsake to boot. However, some people find that a beautiful book puts on too
much pressure; they don’t write as freely or as deeply because perfectionism
takes over and they become afraid to make ‘mistakes’, focusing more on grammar
and penmanship than content, and end up unable to put anything on paper. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

it won’t scream “Hey, I’m a diary! Read me!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

great option for recording your thoughts. For one thing, many people find that

Today I took a jar of my Naked Salve, broke out the postal scales and started playing. That jar weighed 4.2 oz. jar included. Empty jar was 2.6 oz. Meaning I had about 1.6 oz. of Naked salve. I then added .8 oz. of shea butter and .8 oz. of cocoa butter. I also added 1 more tablespoon of beeswax pastilles. Then I melted everything.<br />
<br />
Once it was melted I added about 10 drops of Lavender, 8 of Lemon and 6 of Melaleuca to the mix. to my small sample/travel size jars I added three drops of Myrrh to each of the brown ones, 3 of peppermint to the blue ones and 3 of geranium to the red. This matched up with the color labels for each of them making it easier to keep it straight in my head. Now they are cooling. <br />
<br />

I will let you know what I think of each kind. I added Myrrh because in reading it is good for eczema, and peppermint from the idea below for skin allergies, the geranium I used last time and my hands are better using it. <br />
<br />
In the future I want to do one for pain only adding black pepper since I don't have all the oils below. I do know that black pepper helps with muscle pain for some of my bunch and frankincense is healing. <br />

Today I watched my almost 18 yo work on supper. She decided on Beef stroganoff when mom vetoed what she has done the last three times. She didn't do it totally right but she did it. She remembered she needed rice to go with it and ask how to do that. I told her double water to rice, if she used one cup rice then two cups water, cook 40 minutes. Simple steps to life, steps she couldn't even dream of a year ago. She also popped pop corn today. Not stick in the microwave but add oil and corn and pop. I also hear her vocabulary growing. Several times I have heard her use .25 words CORRECTLY instead of .05 words that may or may not be used correctly. She is also reading more and more of the chapter books from the library. They are about 5th grade level reading but that is huge to me in a year!<br />
<br />
Bug boy is also doing baby steps. We still have long hard days of lots of battles. He will battle for 4-5 hours over NOT doing school the way I ask. "It's hard!" "I will NEVER..." Then after the long battle it is done MY way and wow he is SOOOOOOOOO proud of what HE did. I have discovered that time out bottles really help him/me. He has a habit of running his mouth when he is sitting on the stool. "How long, why...!!!!" and the list goes on and on. I have learned park him shake a time out bottle and tell him to sit quiet until it settles. He argues I re-shake. About the third shake he decides to hush. It is a win win for both of us. <br />
<br />
One new thing he ask that none of the others have ask is if I would pray with him at night before bed. I anoint his head with frankincense and we pray. Last night he ask me to tap him as I prayed. I found that interesting. He has also been telling me when he feels sad sometimes and we use EMDR, (tapping) to help it go away. I think he figured out that it helps and rolled it into prayer at night. <br />
<br />
We are getting close to adoption and having a lot of trying to push away, not attach, issues. It is hard. He is afraid. He doesn't want to not be adopted, but he has TWO failed adoption attempts behind him. I do think once the adoption is final he will be better behaved. There will be less trying to not let himself love. I hope less arguing about EVERY tiny thing. Like dishes tonight. Grrrr! It gets VERY old. He just got parked because he doesn't want to do dishes alone. He missed the part about HELPING with supper or you get dishes alone. He tried telling me he "helped". Funny I missed that part of the evening. So he got parked for slamming dishes. He ask if he could do them later I said we would consider. Then he ask for a time out bottle. We will see. For him though he has had a good day. School is FINALLY caught up, he fought it all weekend. <br />
<br />
Supper was very good. Not anything like the way it usually taste but very good. I am proud of her for doing it with no help. She put food away and bug boy will do the dishes. She didn't make a lot of extras even though he would like to believe she did. SOOOO many dishes!!!<br />

We don't do Christmas as most of America does. I think the second year we had adopted children I canceled Christmas because of the spirit of gimmy that was flowing so. I discovered it was WONDERFUL! We have instead done things like Angel Tree. We have bought food for a family and gifts but it was not received right. They expected it the next year, even called and ASK if we were. Back to the spirit of gimmy I was trying to get rid of. <br />
<br />This year I was asking God what to do and came up with the idea of giving $10 Wal-Mart cards to who ever we felt led. So each time we are in town I give the 4 big kids a card each and say bless someone, they pray and look and give. <br />
<br />
First week I only had three big kids. I hand the cards out as we were getting ready to check out. They took off as 11 yos and I checked out. In a few minutes 17yo came back glowing. She had given her card to a mom with a little kid. The lady was thrilled with it she said. We talked about how it felt to give. About that time this lady came toward 17 yo like she knew her all smiles, long lost friend type. I was trying to figure out how she knew her. She gave her a big hug and walked off. It was the woman she had given the card too!!!! She had a maybe 2 yo in her cart. <br />
<br />
Then 14 yo son came with his story. He had picked an older woman and shared what we were doing. Seems she questioned him up and down about why and why he didn't spend it on himself. I would have loved to have saw the look on his face at that. I know he would have looked shocked. She finally took it and told him to have a Merry Christmas and she was going to bless someone that needed it more than her with the card. Then gave him a hug. <br />
<br />
Next came 12, now 13 yo DD. She also gave it to an older woman. She got hugged and told thank you. All three glowed! <br />
<br />
This week was even more special I gave 4 cards out and 13 yo circled Wal-Mart 4 times and couldn't find who to give it too. As we were leaving the parking lot there was a lady waiting at the bus stop. She was on a scooter with bags sitting at her feet. Her back was toward the wind huddled down in her coat. Wind chill was in the teens I would guess. I turned around and ask if she still had her card. She jumped out went over gave the card to the lady told her what we were doing, got a hug and came back saying the lady cried. It was moving and sobering for all the kids. <br />
<br />
What I love is the kids can't wait to give again. The first week they were a bit nervous about doing it. The second week they were grabbing at cards! They couldn't wait! They talked about it all week. I am now wondering about doing this monthly as part of our tithe. It is such a blessing for my kids to do this. I know $10 isn't huge, but it is something. It could buy milk or diapers or formula or beans. I love how my kids glow in doing it. </div>

A large recipe like this will fill FIVE - 4 oz glass jam jars. If you
want less, adjust the recipe. If you would like to fill more small jars
than large, adjust accordingly. It's nice to have a few small jars to
take with you. . <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<em><span style="color: #5a5a5a;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I lower my lashes to keep you from seeing my tears… the
pain… Confusion rushes through me, why am I this way? Why am I so different?
Why do I view life so differently? Well, I will let you know why… if you
continue to read this…<o:p></o:p></span></span></em></div>

imagine, sitting alone in the dark… so cold… so hungry… so afraid… Your skin is
so cold; there are no goose bumps on your skin. Your breath comes shallow and
you try to warm your cold hands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ignoring
the ticklish feeling of lice in your hair, on your face, on your eyebrows…<o:p></o:p></span></span></em></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoSubtitle" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<em><span style="color: #5a5a5a;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Your stomach is numb with hunger, you long for food.
Anything… just one morsel… one crumb. You began to salivate as you imagine the
taste… the texture… the warmth of one piece of cereal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your body burns from the lashes of the belt
your mother beat you with. You eyes burn with unshed tears, and your grit your
teeth to keep them from coming. You begin to think about your hatred… the anger
towards the whole world. You ask yourself, “Why me? What did I do for mom and
dad to hate me?” You shiver silently, begging your eyes to not let the tears
go… because if you did… Mother would mock you… hitting you again and again…<o:p></o:p></span></span></em></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoSubtitle" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<em><span style="color: #5a5a5a;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Imagine the absolute terror of your father’s footsteps… as
he comes into your room. He begins to hurt you… again and again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You bite back your screams… you blink away
your tears… your eyes roll back as pain fills your body… the ache… the numbness
that soon claims you. A whirling darkness… so safe… so calming… you begin to
relax… there is no pain now, only a dull ache inside. This… is your hiding
place…<o:p></o:p></span></span></em></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoSubtitle" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<em><span style="color: #5a5a5a;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">You come to your senses… and father has collapsed on top
of you… you wiggle away, careful to not stir him… then you crawl to the darkest
corner. Your stare at father’s still form on the floor… a finger twitches… then
another. Your legs are covered in blood, your body aches horribly and your
stomach churns. Flinching, you get to your feet… stumbling… tiptoeing… you ease
to the closet… Where there is darkness… there is a hiding place…<o:p></o:p></span></span></em></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoSubtitle" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<em><span style="color: #5a5a5a;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">You begin to forget about being hungry… you no longer
fantasize about a morsel, but instead of the next breath… You count your
breaths… knowing it could be your last… You remember the dimness of your
sister’s eyes as she laid there dying… The dullness of you baby sitter’s bright
blue eyes as her head was discarded from her lifeless body… You remember that
she died… because she said she loved you… and she gave you a hug… you can still
remember the smell of her perfume… clinging to her… not wanting to ever let go…
but you did… and now… she is gone… gone…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<br />
<div class="MsoSubtitle" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<em><span style="color: #5a5a5a;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A overwhelming anger fills you… you begin to lash out…
hating others because they weren’t there… they didn’t save you… and they should
have… You are tired all the time… your body aches… and your heart is past
hurting… you feel no pain… you are numb… you are me…<o:p></o:p></span></span></em></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoSubtitle" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<em><span style="color: #5a5a5a;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">You move away… from one place to another, nothing really
changes. You understand now that there is no such thing as love… what is love?
Where is love? You push away from others… hurting them, trying to make them
understand that you had hurt so badly once in your life… Oh, how desperately do
you want them to see that you were in pain! However, you can’t bring yourself
to admit… that you were in pain… You must stay strong… You must show them that
you cannot be hurt anymore… You must fight back before they even began to
fight…<o:p></o:p></span></span></em></div>

<div class="MsoSubtitle" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<em><span style="color: #5a5a5a;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Well, here you are… in the arms of some dumb lady… she
holds you and rocks you… telling you how she loves you… you stare at the
ceiling fan… “No one can love me, you dumb lady… I am worthless… Ask my mom… my
dad… I am not good! I am ruined… I am a failure… It is my fault everything
happened… If only I had not done…” you think to yourself… you try to show dumb
lady how you hate her and everyone else… You don’t want her to love you because
it is impossible… No one can love you… </span></span></em></div>

<em><span style="color: #5a5a5a;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The stupid woman continues to hold you… after years… the
wall in your heart begins to slip… The terror! No, your only thing to keep from
hurting is leaving… You try hard to get it back… for a while. Then you realize
that it is safe here… maybe… just maybe…<o:p></o:p></span></span></em></div>

pain… you have finally opened up to feel… to explore your emotions. Your throat
burns from holding them in for so long… this is a new feeling… The feeling of
security… maybe this dumb lady isn’t so dumb… maybe…<o:p></o:p></span></span></em></div>

<em><span style="color: #5a5a5a;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">You start to feel, and even open yourself wider to explore
this feeling… to live… this is to live… Your anger starts to leave… and you
hold on to it for just a little longer… after all, it was your friend for so
many years… Anger kept you alive…<o:p></o:p></span></span></em></div>

fight each and every day to keep them away… It is hard… so very hard… but you
grit your teeth and try to keep the anger from hurting… you realize that others
don’t seem to understand… your pain…it makes you angry… they try to do mean
things…because they don’t get it…because they are not you… and You… <o:p></o:p></span></span></em></div>
