Pet Peeves Do you have any????

I have one that tops them all.. My biggest pet peeve is when you are in a conversation with someone, and someone else walks up and interrupts. The person you were talking to, walks off with the other person and leaves you standing there like you never even existed.. Another one for me is when a person walks by and ask you how have you been and never even waits for a reply, just keeps walking... Why do they even ask??? Ok my last one. But i have many more.. lol... When someone is in the kitchen, unwraps a candy bar, or anything and throws the wrapper on the counter when they are two steps away from the trash can... Go figure.....

Well i know i have many that probably get on peoples nerves as well.. Just had to have something to get some feed back on this morning.. So let me have it.. hahah Sheila

New Book is out

This is to announce the release of a new book written by my step mom Lula White Poor. This has been a long time in the making, as a matter of a fact all her life.. She shares her families good times and bad times, the fun of growing up as Lula White and what life was like in general as a Sharecroppers Daughter.. Here is a little paragraph to give you and example.
Sharecropper's Daughterby Lula White Poor
"Did you ever ride a pig…drink milk straight from a cow…tear the seat out of your pants while sliding down the barn roof? No? Meet someone who did. In Sharecropper’s Daughter, Lula White Poor gives readers a candid look at growing up the daughter of a sharecropper in eastern Arkansas. Lula and her brothers lived in shacks provided by the landowners their daddy worked for each year. In the early 1930s and ’40s, the school calendar for Lula and her brothers revolved around the harvest, and kids were trusted with responsibility and freedom at a young age. This meant a lot of hard work and growing up fast, but it also meant a whole lot of fun. Lula and her family didn’t have material wealth, but they were wealthy in love. They knew to make the most of what they had, and with it had a ball. Today’s world is a different place, but in Sharecropper’s Daughter, you can sit back and reminisce of simpler times. "This book will be out at Amazon.com soon and you can get your copy now from http://www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore/book.php?w=978-1-60604-859-7
Lula has a great way of pulling you right into words on the page. You will be captivated by the stories she tells and unable to plan your day's until you finish reading this book. Thanks everyone for stopping in to my blog.. Sheila

Gone in a flash

Good morning from Arkansas.. Well things can change in a flash, and everything you knew of life can be gone... We had a bit of excitement across the street from us.. I heard yelling and car tires squealing, (not that unusual for the people next door.) I looked out and saw nothing i did not see on a daily basis, smoke was floating up in the sky, (but like i said nothing unusual for next door.) I heard more yelling and looked out just a few seconds later and the smoke was heavier and coming directly out of their house..Their house was on fire, and it was so windy.. We called the fire dept and they were already rolling.. I ran to the house next to the one on fire as the young boy there slept days.. Knocking or should i say pounding heavily, i finally got him to the door. I told him he needed to grab his things and get out as the wind was so strong and it was blowing the fire straight for his house. He did as i said and very quickly.. I proceeded to call the electric and gas company, only to get the "If you speak English press one, blah blah blah.. "Aggravation set in.. Same thing with the gas company, but finally got to talk with someone and get the electric and gas shut off.. The talk was that the lady had been cooking chicken nuggets and went out and forgot about them.. It was a very intense several hours.. I was awake all night as i kept thinking i was smelling smoke to strong for comfort.. Well at 3:30 am i just rolled on out of the bed and went outside to take a look.. It was burning pretty good, but no wind... That was a little comfort for me.. the house was one of the oldest in our town, Old Doc Spain house... that is what everyone would say.. well you know where old doc Spain's house is/ most people did... I really feel bad for the family losing everything, but they have their lives.. most important.. I am in no mood i guess to post much more, sleep deprivation gets me... Have a great day everyone, and i will try to be back with better news.. Sheila
