My Heros, beloved father and brother

I grew up in small family with one sister – 6 years older than me, and one brother who was 3 years older than me. I was always a daddys girl and was with my dad no matter what he was doing. Later, as I was nearing my teens, I always said I wanted to be just like my brother Danny. Much to our mothers chagrin, I came very close to doing just that, and wouldn’t have changed any of it.

My brother died in Jan 2006 after a devastating 7 month fight with the coward cancer, at the much too young to die age of 50 years and 20 days.

I lost my beloved earthly father in Sept 2008.

I dream of them constantly, and I cherish those dreams.

Hold on to your loved ones for they will be taken in the blink of an eye and it will be too late to say the things you always meant to say.

I miss you so much, so very very much. My heart still aches

Peace on Gods Mountain

In the quiet of the evening when the sun has gone to rest,
It’s so peaceful on my mountain
its the time that I love best.

Somewhere ov’r yon ridge

I hear a whippoorwill.

and as the wind sifts gently through the trees
all is quiet
all is still.

The vastness of this universe

and the wonder of it all
never ceases to amaze me

and makes me feel quite small.

The Master in His wondrous ways knows every star in the sky,
Yet still,
He takes the time to touch the life of someone……
as small as I

Horse Back Ride in Oil Springs Ky

I LOVE IT!

Everyone should get to experience a horseback ride in the Appalachian Hills of Ky, especially in the autumn! When riding on the back of my beloved Sugar -[yep, Mama Caps 2 year Palomino filly!]  I feel so alive, so free and wild, I whoop and yell, and just so totally love it! and nope, I’m not yelping cause I got a buzz! But I am definitely high! A totally natural high. A high like no other, a high simply from the love of life. I can find this high while riding in the saddle on my Sugar, in the Appalachian Hills of Ky.

Sell My TWITTER Username?

I am known across the web as “MountainHigh” or PARADISE MOUNTAIN or MY FOUNTAIN DESIGNS or simply SANDARA
This 3 year old blog is MountainHigh.wordpress.com
My [forgotten] TWITTER  account is under username MountainHigh

I have a CLAIM.ID account with username as….. yep MOUNTAINHIGH!

But I have been getting emails and phone calls from a company that wants MY twitter username and account! I told her she couldn’t use it in many places cause MountainHigh is MY USERNAME! So I ask her, “Why do you want to use MountainHigh when I have claimed it on claimID?” and I mentioned several other accounts where I AM MOUNTAINHIGH. She said, “Because WE are MountainHigh Resort, and WE are MountainHigh” well, that just encouraged me to stake my claim back to my forgotten user ID on Twitter!
I created the account – www.twitter.com/MountainHigh -in December 2008, just a couple short months after my beloved father died. I also moved my website to another host in Dec ‘08, along with all the other things that go on in December, and I simply forgot all about creating this account! I have another twitter account using MOUNTAINBLESSED as my username [so THATS why twitter kept giving me the error "that username has already been taken... I HAD TAKEN IT!] But now that I have been reminded of it, I took it back! Therefore, PLEASE FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER! www.twitter.com/MountainHigh

Get Rich Quick SCHEMES

WHY WOULD ANYONE TELL YOU “SECRETS TO MAKING MONEY” ” GET RICH QUICK”  “MAKE MONEY ON THE INTERNET”

ANYONE WOULD JUST DO IT THEMSELVES, NOT TELL EVERYONE ABOUT IT!

It’s so easy to fall for something like this in these sickening economic times.

DON’T FALL FOR THIS

I Present…MY Waterfalls

I mentioned a while back about getting the view of my waterfalls cleared out so you could see. Here it is, my very own God given Waterfall.

About midway thru this video clip, I slip and fall on my buutwah and discover a small underground cave, so very cool!

STILL a tomboy after all these years!

OH! NEGATIVE IONS ARE CREATED IN NATURE – LIKE AROUND NATURAL WATERFALLS! You can also get your daily dose of negative ions by simply using a Mist Fountain aka Decorative Cool Mist Humidifier

Not my day at the barn

We’ve been working on the new barn with the help of our Dyna-Tech Ultra Portable Bandsaw, and have 5 stalls complete with horses included, but we we still use the old barn.

I climbed the old ladder up to the barn loft so I could fill the horses mangers with hay. Capareille and Rock, Shelby , and Carmen are still t the old bard. On one side of the loft the boards are a bit wider apart than what should be. I’ve walked that loft hundreds of times w/no problem. Today as I walked overtop of Mama Cap and Rocks’s stall, I stepped a bit off I guess! But my foot went thru 2 of the boards and half of me, rather… the bottom half of one side of me, fell thru the boards. Well there I was, 1 leg- all the way up to my beutwa, was hanging down thru the barn loft. My other leg was still on top of the loft floor, and my right arm went thru as well, tearing at my wrist as I went down, I mean half of me, uuhm one bottom half of me was just dangling there, over top of Mama Caps head!

I tried to pull my leg, and then foot, back up thru the boards, but my shoe was too wide to go between the boards on the way back up! AAGGHHH. I was hurting, just a little, so I reached through the barn loft floor and took my shoe off,then my foot came back through.

simply Not My Day At The Barn

Sometimes you just gotta be a dog

Ginger loves to play, so with no other dogs in the house, no kids, she gets my socks or my shoes, or she’ll run and get her stuffed bear, jump on the couch beside of me and wants to play. Its a special treat for her when I get down on her level, and be a pup too.

Excerpts from My Life

or to be more precise… a few days of my life from Paradise Mountain would drive most individuals to the brink of

end of the day

insanity! Seriously. Lets begin with a little hindsight………..

Although there are only 2 humans that occupy Paradise Mountain as permanent residents, there are many factors that come into play when trying to describe Life as it is being, “MountainHigh”

I’ll try a quick summary: I attempt to keep up with and take care of my hubby, Larry, with whom I share a love for not only our 2 adult children, but animals and the great outdoors, therefore I also share my life and time with 10 horses, approx 10 cattle, 1 bottle calf that insists on a bottle the moment she hears me come out the door at mealtimes, 4 dogs, a mother who I love dearly that depends on me to take her to the drs, do the heavier household and yard work while we try to understand each other since we missed it the entire first 50 years of my life.  I also own and operate MyFountainDesigns.com and an ebay store which I am still trying to list all the items in since I closed Sadies Treasure Trunk [which is named after our 13 year old dog Sadie] from the comfort of my home that we are still working on even though we finished and moved into on July 4th 2004 which is also my storeroom, office, headquarters and sanctuary.

ok I need to exhale, so I will fill you in on a few days in the life from Paradise Mountain tomorrow.

“tomorrow” turned into 4 or 5 days…

While last week is still fairly fresh in my mind, I will start with last Monday

Monday, July 20 started out like most Monday morns, except this quarterly state tax day, and as usual I had waited ’till the last day. I had my desk cleared off and ready to get started on my dreaded taxes when  mom called about 9:30 and said she needed me. So everything is put aside and I’m gone, after all, its mom. Mom has always kept an exceptionally clean home. But mom is 77, she lost her lifelong companion last September, had heavy duty surgery in May, fell & hurt her shoulder/neck/back 4 weeks ago,  lives alone, but has dads sisters and brother living to the right, in back and across the road from her, and I live about 5 miles on down the road. Me, mom, and sister Lois are the only 3 left from our small family of 5. My beloved Dad died in Sept 2008, and my only brother left this world in Jan 2006, just 14 days after his 50th birthday.

I stop by and get Damian, my great-nephew & recently reformed buckeye gone country, so he can help me get moms yard work done. Damian cuts the huge front yard on the riding mower while I do all the push mowing, weedeating, and brush cleaning off the hill out back so copperheads don’t crawl down the hill on her. Then we take her truck to the gas station and fill it and 2 gas cans up. Back to moms for a sandwich, back to work, and come home at 4:00 so tired, too tired for it just to be Monday.
I sit in the living room with Larry for 45 minutes before he leaves to go to Lee City Sale barn. I want to get to work filling orders from my website, but I am so tired and made the mistake of sitting down before I got in the shower. At 6, I force myself up and start on orders. I stock all my items from my website here, so I print each order, then gather the items, get an order boxed up while another ones shipping label is printing- as I tape the label on box, another order prints out. This goes on till 9 pm and I finally get into a blessed flow of water.

TUESDAY JULY 21 started out as a usual july day, in the hayfield helping Larry bale hay. Then mom calls my cell phone and I have to go get her, take her to Paul B Hall hospital to pick up a copy of her MRI because the dr’s office won’t call to get them so we can find out what is wrong with moms arm/neck/back. I get mom back home, go back to hay field as I watch the black clouds come rolling in, threatening rain AGAIN! We say a prayer, thank God for allowing us to get this hay rolled before it rains, and proceed to roll on! get home, finally, eat a bite, and fill some orders. It is again past midnight

WEDNESDAY JULY 22 is moms next appointment date in Ashland Ky for a checkup from her last surgery.  So we leave her house about 10 a.m. and don’t get home until 6 THAT NIGHT! Tired, worn out, stretched to my limit, I call Larry to come and pick me up [I have not had a vehicle of my own since I totaled my 4Runner 3 years ago] walk in the back door at home and take a look around at the dishes I haven’t had time to wash all week, and settle for leftovers for supper which is a good thing since the leftovers are this years White Half Runner beans from the garden, cornbread, and potatoes that were cooked with a white sauce made over them – mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm. But I did have to wash 2 forks first!
