Well a lot of things. But what I was thinking about this morning is how we really don't know each other but yet we think about each other.
There was a response this morning on one of my posts from Jessica that said she was thinking about me this past weekend when she was someplace. I do the same thing, I will tell my friend," Iknow someone that would like that" or I will say, "one of the girls told me about this or how to do that". She looks at me and says who? Well you know the girls at the MJ site.
The other thing is, I put four scoops in my coffee maker instead of three and I feel like painting the house and putting in a new driveway. Ok better have a glass of milk and see if I can calm down.

Good mornin Nancy Jo, You have already given me a good laugh to start my day! You and your coffee. I know what you mean about knowing each other but not really. I havent been here long but have already made some great connections. Such a great bunch of gals! Hope you have a great day. Karen

I vote for painting the house. Much easier than the driveway thing.

Funny stuff Nancy! But you are so right about the knowin' people. I called my daughter at work the other day and told her to write down something I had read on MJF site. She did, cause she knew it had to be good if I got it from here. Get out the brushes and start painting-a new driveway sounds way too much like hard work-hee hee.

I know what you mean Nancy Jo! I was telling my MIL something that I read on the site...she asked me where I had heard it, and I told her from one of my MaryJane girls!!!

I do the same thing---no, not paint the house---but think about others that I have met here--on the forum. You know, 'oh Nancy Jo would like this or Sue told me how to make that--the list goes on. Everyone is so real and, of course, likeable. Oh well, hand me a paintbrush--I'm right beside ya. MB

I do it too. One of the farmgirls said...so&so does it this way. I say the driveway, That's something you have to hire done. LOL Then paint at the same time.

Nancy Jo.... I find myself doing it to...I have picked up so many "farmgirlism(s)"...... There is a country song called "good friends and a glass of wine"......I find that in the evenings; it is a great place to unwind from the day... and I couldnt imagine not saying "hello" first thing in the morning....Aren't we all so blessed?
Jeff Foxworthy has a book out on definitions of "redneck isms", maybe we will need to start one for "farmgirl - isms".. what do ya think?

I feel the same way...and my kids are sure clued into it. Whenever something comes in the mail or I have something or do something they haven't seen before they just assume it is from a farmgirl friend..and it usually is.

nancy .. i have found that so true all through life -- when we cross each other's lives on this journey through life .. often it is the 'little things' that nestle in our hearts. knowing what our firends and loved ones like and don't like. i often find myself shopping for a friend when i least expect it .. because i come across something and think of them and smile.
i have friends who love 'birds' .. and some who love 'books' .. of course, lots who love dolls .. and baskets .. and christmas or lambs (i find tht i can get kinda' selfish with those .. cuz' i collect them for my great grandsobnandrew LAMBert! .. pretty teacups, fairies, each reminds me of a dear friend.

I tell my hubby important information I find out here all the time. And he listens! My daughter definitely knows all about this place, and to tell you the truth I never thought I would find a place like this where friendshps are formed by reading each other's posts. It makes me think back to the day when letters and post cards by mail sometimes formed friendships that lasted forever.
By the way, Nancy Jo, I was in Goodwill yesterday, and saw a piece of the pottery you are collecting......I should have bought it! Thought of you first thing.

Nancy Jo, i wish you lived closer, you could come over and I'd put five scoops of coffee in the coffee maker and we could paint the house, the barn and fix the driveway too.
I know what you mean, I found something the other day that immediately made me think of all you farmgirls. This site has been such a treat for me, it is lovely to meet and share our stories with each other. I think a lot of us grew up in a time so totally different than today's world. I remember the things I loved most in my childhood, running through the clothes on the line, the sheets made the best noise, reading under a big horse chestnut tree, going to the beach, very simple pleasures. I feel so inundated with information these days sometimes aI choose not to read about it, but this site is such a safe place to be. Bravo to all the farmgirls! Karin

Ain't that the truth! Nancy you are such a hoot and I can't believe I missed your post this morning! I literally look for your name out there and make a beeline to anything you post because you are so funny and interesting and you always "make my day" (in a good way). And I hate to tell you but I was up at that hour too! You make me laugh out loud! To be honest I have never blogged/posted, whatever you call it, before and I could go days at a time with out seeing or hearing from anyone (especially if my daughter was out of town). But since I have come to know you gals I feel like I am in touch with people all the time and it is so fun and comforting and I feel like I have the best group of girlfriends anyone could want and I do! Especially that Nancy Jo ...you crack me up girlfriend! I say get that jackhammer out and show em' how it's done!

Oh Jenny,
My kids are the same way. "Mom something came for you today, must be a farmgirl thing".
I guess they figure any mail I get has to be from a farmgirl. LOL Usually it is a package and they don't even pay any mind to the fact that it has a company's name on it.
Nancy Jo,
When I mentioned something at work about a topic they are starting to realize that it is from "a forum I'm on". They all seem to enjoy seeing me work on my swaps. They think it is cool that we swap things we have made and such.

Since I'm new here I cruised around to read some older posts. I thought it would be fun to 'ressurect' one from exactly one year ago. Call me strange. It's okay. ;)

Oney - perfect!
Nancy Jo,
Even though I have only been on a few months I feel like I have gotten to know a great bunch of girls. Whenever I see the Violets in my garden, I think of Jonni, whenever I do laundry using my farmgirl detergent I think of alot of you gals, when I see pigs I reminded of Jessie, and her love of pigs :) So many other girls cross my mind too!
Regarding coffee, you should try a French Press Nancy Jo :) Mmmm good!

This thread was a year ago and I still feel the same. WOW!!!
I'm with you Nancy Jo---I do the very same thing. It is like all of you are my good friends. And I guess you are. Some more special but all SPECIAL. Some I know better than others but I feel I know you all. May door is always open for any one or two or---you know what I mean. Come on over!!
So what color do you think you will paint the house? Inside or out? floors too? Inquiring minds want to know. Now go lay down. Should I send Bingo over? MB

Nancy, It's because of all the talking you did when we were at the thrift store that made me want to check out this site, you were 100% right. The farngirls are the best, so are you.
Hope all your days are Sunnydays.

Nancy Jo:
I hear you! I'm always telling my DH about "Alee saying how to use vinegar, or Annika saying..., or Heather moving." DH says who is Alee? Annika? Heather? I look at him like, "The MJF". LOL
