Fun Time On The Farm

I stayed with some super sweet friends while I was in Australia.  I can not thank them enough for letting me stay with them and their generous hospitality!!!

Wow!!!

This is Peta.  She is such a lovely horse!!!





Oh, Peta!!!  How I love you too!!!



A scarecrow stands guard.  Lol







I absolutely loved feeding the baby lambs!!  This little guy is my favorite!!!  His ears were eaten by paddock rats.










Nothing like lots of kisses to make a girl feel welcome!!!



















The magpies are noisy little birds but they are pretty.  lol


I could really get used to this view!!!
After a hard day's work on the farm, there isn't anything better than a glass of wine with the most beautiful sunset in the world!!!  Australia has the most fabulous sunsets!!!

I Survived....Beyond and Back

Last night I was watching "I Survived...".  It is about people who have survived very difficult circumstances.  They were showing numerous ones.  The last one was titled. "I Survived...Beyond and Back."  It was about people who died and came back!!!  Oh, how I could relate!!!  This guy and his brother worked in a family business and went on a business trip out of town.  They went to a restaurant and afterwards while they were waiting on a taxi, one of them was shot in the head in a drive by shooting!!!  He said he felt black ink going down his face and then he ended up in a dark and dismal place chained and naked.  He could hear screams and he knew he was in Hell!  He talked about how scared he was!!!  He said he saw a wrinkled hand come through the darkness and a bright light shining!!!  The hand grabbed him around his waist and the chains fell off.  He heard a voice tell him it wasn't his time!!!  He knew then everything would be alright!!!   His heart started beating in the operating room at that time!!!  He heart had stopped over 5 minutes.  He remained in coma over 27 days.  His wife was by his side every day.  When he woke up, he remembered everything.  The doctors didn't think he would survive let alone be able to talk or move.  He is partially paralyzed on the left side and still has the bullet in his head because the doctors said he would not survive the surgery to remove it.  Another story was a lady was white water rafting with a group of women and their guide was a male paramedic.  She was in a kayak and it flipped and she got sucked underwater.  The current kept rolling her and she had to hold her breath for over a minute til she could get her next one.  She got sucked into an underground cavern.  She said she knew she was dead.  She said she got sucked into a vacuum and then saw a bright light, heard beautiful music, and felt so much love!!!  She said she told God to please not let her leave her children and it was like she was pushed back in her body.  They found her and the paramedic pulled her into the raft.  He said water came pouring out of her mouth.  She was alive!!!  She has no neurological damage at all!!!  On www.youtube.com they have some "I Survived...Beyond and Back".  These are different ones from what I watched last night....  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gA6lU44S_c&list=PLpYgXrdsP3H9NAi4ZXbLLtcp1p5HTXxPI  I highly recommend watching them!!!

Laugh And Smile Often, Love ALWAYS!!!
