Ink-stained Dreams

 Day Twenty-four: A Throwback Photo: I was unsure what to do here because I do Memory a Month but, Okay, I guess you'll get two this month! This picture is from when I was nine, I think. I was always having some kind of big scheme or another. This picture was going to be the cover of a movie Mikayla and I were going to make about the Titanic. Hmm...I guess the Titanic has always enthralled me! I started writing a book about the Titanic, never finished it, but I was just thinking about it. I should go find and read it. But, back to the Throwback, I remember very well the feelings of excitement and fear I had, because I had such a vivid imagination I felt every emotion of what I was playing. I still have a vivid imagination, and it helps me to write in my books, but back then, my goodness, I wouldn't be playing something, I was there, I was the something. Mikayla will talk about what someone else was doing when we played this or that, but I only remember playing that thing. Most ...

Day Twenty- three: Someone who inspires me: Ohh, I like this one. But who will I say! There are so many people to inspire me. My Mom, my Dad, my brothers, my family, (including first cousins, and first cousins once removed, and second cousins, and second cousins once removed, and... You get my point.) But for someone I've never meet, who can I say. I'm thinking back to all the missionaries I've learned about, the men and woman of the Bible and all the people who have served God, there are so many to inspire. So many of them inspire me, but I also have authors that inspire me too, being a writer as I am. And then I could also say Jesus Inspires me! If you want the person who inspires me the best possible way, Jesus does! ~Kylie Nancy

Day Twenty-two: Five Weird things I Like: Um... okay... I really don't know. To read the Dictionary just for the fun of it (Am I the only person who reads the Dictionary for fun?!!) I pick things up with my toes (okay, so that isn't something I "like" but I'm having a hard time thinking of anything.) to eat cream cheese in yogurt with chocolate chips (It really good!) to try to play sheet music I have no clue what the song sounds like,(Don't ask why! I just try to figure it out but I bet I sound pretty bad.) and   I like to talk in the accent I'm reading in, so if I'm reading a book that has, say, Scottish, I like to speak the way they do. (Mikayla can't stand it some reason.) Sorry guys, guess I'm not that weird person. I'm reading this and I'm like, this is normal stuff, they're going to be so bored!  ~Kylie Nancy

Day Twenty-one: Somewhere I'd like to visit: Scotland, PLEASE!! I would L-o-v-e, LOVE, to go there! It's so amazing!! I see pictures and read books and I'm like, "I want to go there so bad!" It just sound so amazing! I've never really wanted to go out of America, until I started learning about Scotland and their history. I love their accents, btw! They have to most amazing history. I'm reading The Crown and Covenant series right now. It take place in Scotland, and I love it!!!  Aye, Scotland is a place that is full of intrigue! Och, I fear that if I get to speaking to much about it, it will ding me daft! *drive me silly* Lol! Just have fun! *wink* ~Kylie Nancy

Day Twenty: Something I excited for: Driving! I could be driving right now, but with moving and the snow, I probably wont drive until spring. *cries* But whatever. I guess you have to be patient about some things.  I can't wait to drive. Go down country roads with the windows down, singing my favorite songs. (Like, This Is It, and Country Roads!) I can't wait to be able to run to town and pick stuff up for my Mom, or to just go shopping for fun.  I can't wait to hop in the car and go get coffee, just because I want to.  Yep, I want to drive! ~Kylie Nancy

 Day Nineteen: Something I worry about: Worry, worry, worry. There's a lot of worrying in our world isn't there. I must admit that I worry All the time, but I can't think of a thing to write about here. *thinks for a while* I'm a little worried about getting our new house ready to move into before we have to move out of the one we're in. Oh, btw, I plan do a revel on our new house pretty soon here. ~Kylie Nancy

    Thank the Police, they are still fighting to protect us, even with all the horrible things people say about them!  

The 30 Day Challenge // Day Eighteen Day Eighteen: Something I Miss: I miss many things about life. I'm always thinking back and missing things that we've had or done. One thing I miss a lot is my Grandpa's ranch. That place was like a second home at one time. We didn't live that far way from it and would go there quiet a bit. No one lived there, there was no cows ( Well, at least not any cows of his own, he did let near by ranchers run their cattle through there.) no cowhands, no horses. But there was the ranch house, the four-wheelers the trails we'd run them on, the orchard, the river, the fire pit, shooting, deer, turkeys, wild animals of many kinds, including rattle snakes. I never seen one though, but they were there. *sigh* I miss that place. I don't think I could ever explain what that place meant to us. That place was filled to over flowing with memories and love. It wasn't really the place it's own self, it was more the feelings and joy I felt ...

  Day Seventeen: A book I love? A book I love? Really?!  A book? Just one?! I can't answer that! Like, really? Okay, I'll try to find a book I haven't talked about before. Umm...*runs and looks at book shelf*  Ah ha! The Eleventh Hour by Michael Phillips! I love that and the books after it! Which reminds me! I should read it again! If this question had been "Who is an author you love?" It would easy. I love George MacDonald's books! Because they are so old, it takes a little time to get used to the way they talk and because most of them take place in Scotland that also makes it hard to fallow sometimes, but once your get used to that, his books are so intriguing and so full of teachings! I really love his books! He's my favorite author, but I don't have a favorite book. ~Kylie Nancy

  Day Sixteen: What I do to relax:  Well, I read, write, play the piano, hum, pray, read my Bible, take a shower, lay on the floor with nothing to do, walk in the sunshine, stare out the window at God's world! I do other things like paint, draw, and work on my smash/memory book, but those I don't do as often. Ah, sounds so refreshing right now! ~Kylie Nancy

Day Fifteen: What makes me sad: Do I have to do this one?!  I really don't like thinking about what makes me sad. Recently there seems to be a lot I'm sad about. Even the happy things are sad too. The last post made me smile, this one makes me frown. Life is so upside down  right now! But, what makes me sad is a country that doesn't see how blessed they are and are willing to throws it away, People who don't see that there is a Christ that loves them! I'm sad when a whole day goes wrong and no one can get along with anyone. I'm sad when people are arguing. It's one thing I hate so much! I get so depressed when I argue with or I hear other people arguing! Why can't people solve problems without yelling or angry words? *frowns* I guess it's all part of the fall of mankind, but I wish it wasn't. But I wont go on. Sad things aren't fun to talk about. ~Kylie

  Day Fourteen: What makes me happy: What make me happy is: Waking up and everyone is in a good mood. You get all you work done in good time and have plenty of time to enjoy the day outside or projects inside, writing in my books and the chapter just comes along just right, a letter from a friend, Playing the piano, painting, Church, (I love church. I always feel so happy there) singing, creating something beautiful, dreaming of someday have a home of my own to make beautiful and welcoming, reading a book with a cup of coffee, fall Apple cider and spring time flowers, a word of kindness and politeness, watching my siblings play together, having a coffee with my big bro, having an organized space, fresh air just after a rain,  listening to music, sun rises and sunsets... I could go on forever! ~Kylie Nancy

  Day Thirteen: My favorite Movie: I really don't know. I don't really have a favorite movie. But I like, BreakThrough . It really good, but a little sad and scary. My favorite TV Show would be a little easier. It's The Rebel, or Daniel Boone with Fess Parker... ~Kylie Nancy

  Day Twelve: A Picture of Myself: Hey, everyone! It's me! 

Day Eleven: My favorite bloggers: Everyone I Follow!! *winks* Okay, I'll name a few. Liberty Damara Emily Daminika LaKasha Beth Lexah Lilly ~Kylie

 

I can't use pictures off of the intranet any more. At least I don't know how to find any that blogger will allow me to use.  I feel like my posts are so plain without pictures! I can use my own but I don't have all that many that will work for my post. Any suggestions? ~Kylie Nancy

  Day Ten: Thoughts on Education: *sigh* Oh dear. This could be a hard subject to go into.  Education is more than just doing school work and grades. It a life's learning! Doing school is only the foundation of education, you have the rest of you life to learn more after high school! Because everyone says "Go to school to get your education." People always just have a mind set the an education is do book schooling, Math, English/Grammar, Science, etc. But Education is even more than knowing how to spell and do Math. Education is the tools you'll need to go through life, this includes learning, self control, how to serve others, how to be able to care and provide for a family, how to act, how to have healthy habits, how to be able to do research on your own so you can continue learning,... Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary defines Education as this: The bring up, as a child; instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and di...

  Day Nine: My favorite childhood book: Hmm. I had a couple. One was called, "I'm I Big or Little?" and one was "Just is case You ever wonder." It's the one with people in it, not bears. (I wanted to put pictures but I can find any I can use online) I loved both those and there were others, "Are you my Mother?""Go dogs, Go.""The Eye book." "The Little Engine that Could." and more. ~Kylie Nancy

  Day eight: My ten favorite foods: So,  my favorite foods. hmm... White Chicken Chili Soup Taco-y foods Pasty Pasta A good beef roast with mashed potato's and gravy homemade sourdough bread Hot chicken or beef stew Scalped Potatoes Cheese Cake Vanilla Pudding and pudding deserts  ~Kylie Nancy

Day seven: best trip of my life: This one is pretty easy and hard at the same time. I going to say our trip to Yellowstone at the beginning of this month but I've had many other great trips. At the beginning of this month we went on a five day trip to Yellowstone Nation park. We stayed in a rental Rv the fist three nights and then a Hotel the last one. We spent three days exploring the park and two driving there and back. Each day brought on something new and exciting in Yellowstone. I would love to go back again someday without little kids (I wouldn't have left them behind for the world last time but...) and hike the trails and everything! I felt like I seen so little but so much in those three days. ~Kylie Nancy

Day six: My Five current goals: I'm not a person who sets high goals, but... I'd like to publish a book to read the Bible front to back to get in a habit of getting up at five (I think I'm getting there???) to finish high school to get in a habit of post on here more often. ~Kylie Nancy

 Memory A Month // October 2020 I'm sorry I missed last months Memory! Forgive me? Here's October's Memory of the Month! Picture Removed By Author Five years ago on the 30th of this month. My family joyfully welcomed Heather into our family. There I am with her in the picture.  I can remember how we were awakened early in the morning and told to get dressed and ready to go. We all knew what that meant! Mom was having the baby! I remember all of us kids standing in the kitchen waiting for some friends from church to come pick us up and bring us to their house. The house was filled with nervous excitement. I watch the midwives caring in supplies and I had excitement giving me shivers all over. When we where picked up I remember not being able to quite bouncing up and down in my seat. It was all so exciting. Being woke up in the middle of the early morning, and to be driven away to someone else house, knowing that when we went back we would have a new baby sister! We waited an...

  Day Five: My 5 Favorite Songs: This Is it! By Scotty McCreery I'm Proud to be an American In His Time The Love of God God of the Mountain There are so many, I don't now how you could ever choose just five!! But This Is It is my fav! It also has a different name but I can't remember it. ~Kylie

  Day Four: 5 things I'm afraid of: Swinging bridges snakes mice Pain Of being kidnapped I just threw some out there, because I'm not that scared of much. I don't like snakes or mice, but I don't  scream when I see them. Just jump and get the jitters. Everyone is afraid of pain. And kidnapping, who would want to foist to be brought some where far from home and all that! ~Kylie Nancy

Day Three: My Dream Job: Wife and Mother! Becoming a Wife and Mother is the biggest dream of my life! To serve the Lord in my work to my family. To create a home for my husband and kids, that is warm and filled with the joy of the Lord, is my greatest desire. Taking on the responsibility of raising up the next generation, knowing that how I raise my kid's will help determine the future of the world! And also not know how I will be repaid for my work, here on earth, but knowing that God will reward me with a future home in heaven, where I will see Jesus face to face. What more noble and more fulfilling job can any woman ask for? ~Kylie Nancy

Day Two: My Favorite Quote: I really don't know! But I'll try to think of one I quote to myself all the time. "Ask and it shall be given you. Seek and ye shall find. Knock and it shall be opened unto you." (I hope that work well enough.) I often think of this verse in the Bible. It's not that I think God will just hand me anything I want, but God does say that if we ask with faith he will faithful answer. Faith is the key to happiness in the Lord! (I hope that work well enough.) ~Kylie Nancy

Hey! I wanted to do this challenge, so here you go! Enjoy! Day one: Ten Facts about me: I love Jesus My Savior! I love Gorge Mac'Donald's books. I talk a lot when around people I know but don't  know very well. I like to either wake up or go to sleep after everyone. (I guess it's to get time alone) I want to live in a small town that I can finally call my town. I suck at spelling I want to live in a old remolded house! It would be so cool!  I'm not good at doing my own hair. *Cries* I'd like to do all different hair styles but I just can't! I want to go back to the way the girl used to dress in dresses all the time! I love school! (most the time.) ~Kylie Nancy

Picture Removed By Author Hi! I'm back! I hope you didn't miss me too much. We've been so busy lately I don't know were to start. Well, In August my brother came home on leave. He was home only a couple days after my birthday so I waited to celebrate with him. We made his desert without even asking what he wanted because he always has the same thing, unlike me who never knows what I want. *laugh* Picture Removed By Author So he was home a couple weeks and it was really good to hear him sing and to play around with him again.  Then, only two days after he went back to his base, we left for a five day family vacation. (It was only me down and my Dad & Mom) We went to Yellowstone National Park. The drive was long but I sort of enjoyed it. Yellowstone? It was so cool! I loved it! I think "The Dragon's Mouth Spring" was my fav. But everything was so cool! Picture Removed By Author Polaroid Picture of me at "Old Faithful." Then after we got home, w...

  Hey, everyone! Sorry I seemed to drop off the end of the world there for awhile! I hope to do some more posts soon but pleases be patent! I'm a little busy! ~Kylie Nancy

Picture Removed By Author Yay! Time for the Q&A! I'm excited! Let's get started!! What's your favorite book? Hmmm... That's hard, but let's just say I've loved to read book seven of The Wells Fargo Trail series, The Warriors by Jim Walker. *laughs* It seemed to be my go to book when anyone asks that question. I've read it so often it's staring to fall apart. *cries* I'll have to do a book review on it. They're just the cutest Brothers, and the story is just great! Skirts or dresses? Um... Skirts?

Ready for Memory A Month? *laughs and covers mouth* I've a good one this time! Picture Removed By Author Can you guess what happening in this picture? *laughs* This was six years ago, when my family was moving into a new house. (We've moved a lot. This is the third house we had moved to. The house we live in now is our sixth house seance I was born.) My Uncle and Aunt and their kids came to help us move. Moving, besides the sad fact you will never see your house again, has always been fun and a adventure. I have many memories in the house we moved to in this picture, even though we were there only a very short time. I can remember playing "town" in our sheds out back. There were two of them, and one would be the store and one the post office/ telegraph office. Or one the Sheriffs office and jail, and the other the sables. The possibilities were endless! But I've taken a rabbit trail here. Back to the picture. Has any of you tried to pop a Mosquito? You know, ...

Epilogue Texas, Thomas, Charles, and Luke Buck went back to their ranch. When they arrived they found their ranch well taken care of and their cattle all accounted for. A gift from Tim Moor for saving his life. Tim Moor returned to his previous job as sheriff.  Texas Buck and Pauline Baker were married eight months later. As their wedding gift to Texas and Pauline, Thomas, Charles, and Luke gave them the whole Buck ranch. Tex and Pauline had five children. Four boys and one girl. Thomas became a minister and lived most his life in the small settlement of Lady Marge. Which became a large, bustling town over time. Thomas married and had two daughters. Charles and Luke went east. Surprisingly it was Charles, not Luke, who stayed and became a businessman. He married Mary Lawman, the daughter of a book store keeper and they had ten children. After the adventure in this book, Luke never fully recovered his health.  Luke returned to the Buck ranch where he was readily w...

  GAH! The last chpater!!! Wow! I can't believe I've made it to the end!! Ready? GO! Chapter 14 Tex sat against the wall starring blankly into space, twisting his hands together. Luke watched him from his blankets. "He's worried, isn't he?" Pauline asked leaning close to Luke's ear. Luke nodded. "Hey, Tex?" He asked quietly. Tex looked up. "Yeah?" "Are you okay?" "I'm fine. Just trying to find away to get out of here," Tex said, running a hand over his hair and down his neck. "Come up with any plans?" Pauline asked. "Nope." He leaned his head back with another sigh of frustration. "What about your brothers and Ben? I'll bet they'll try and find us." Pauline suggested. Tex nodded. With a smirk he commented to Luke, "Remember the trouble maker during the war? I told you about him. We met him again, when we came after you. He came along with us to h...

Picture Removed By Author Hi, everyone! It's me, again! I was looking back over my posts today and thought it would be fun to do a Q&A post again. So, ask away! Then after I'm done I'll be able to use the questions to add to my "This Blog and Me," page. I'll be waiting for your questions!! Ask as many as possible! Then, if there's to many I'll go through and get rid of the less important ones.

Time for Chapter 13. Guess what! There's only one more chapter after this!!! *hops up and down then cries* Chapter 13 Tex sat by Luke's side in silent prayer. He had been over and over the room, looking for a loose board or any other way out. He found none and even if he did find away out, Luke was to sick to move.  Tex turn at a quiet sob. Pauline had pulled her knees to her face and was crying quietly against them, rocking gently back and forth. Tex tried to think of something to say but couldn't find the words. So, he just reached out and patted her hand.  Pauline looked up and wiped her eyes on her selves. "I'm sorry. It just seams so... so..."  "I'm sorry you got dragged into this." Tex apologized. "I promise, I will try my hardest to get you out of here. God willing, I'll succeed."  "Thank you. I don't know you well but I trust you. I know you will do your best." Pauline whispered. "It's...
