Joannforsberg: Slept long last night; unpacked to repack.

Heading out on the "noon ride"; off to see our Lannie down on the southern side.

Today truly is a great day to be alive.

Embracing a son's birthday in the season of cherry pies!

What we were baking the night before he arrived.

Blessings to all!

We are off on another road ride and should be back on Tuesday to unpack to begin the washing machine again.
    adewpearl: It is great to see you in good spirits, my friend :-) -
    Amsterdam: our friend- long forgot
    we will see in the end
    we will see then a lot
    I wish you well my friend

Joannforsberg: JoAnn Forsberg
Sunlight awakens the subtle music of birds in a distant.

Life is green, bright and filled with laughter in the morning air.

There are moments, unique moments when life feels like it is suspended in air.

For all is in perfect alinement with peace, love and joy; spiritually you are awakened that it is "All Good"; it is "All Good".

Feeling alive, embracing all the quirks of living as you are one with nature, loved ones and the sky.

Truly it is a great day to be alive.


Joannforsberg: So much joy shall be found today.

Count down has begun, twenty days left and all tears have now been shed.

We embrace this fourth of July; the freedom found in that flag that does fly.

Living life like were dying, embracing every moment; freely walking through sunsets.

America the beautiful... truly you are.

We Bless all on this Fourth of July!

Freedom should be celebrated for Americans know our freedom has not been free.


Joannforsberg: Our transparency to be legal is what "tipped" the Federal DEA to this warehouse. They brought in black hawk helicopters, drones, national guard, guns, smoke bombs, federal agents from other states. They smashed doors, windows, etcâ?¦ took everything inside each grow room. We did have caregiver licenses as we did not want to be around medical mj without one. Truly, we still cannot believe this has happened to our family. JoAnn Forsberg

    Gypsy Starchild: It is so wrong that you are being put through all of this Joann... You remain in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could give you a big hug. -
    Joannforsberg: thank you. -


Joannforsberg: Hello, so much and so little to state. Lance is officially in Morgantown, WV. We are leaving Dennis at Butner, NC on July 23rd. Right now projecting into three years from now in 2016; seems like forever. So, we know one day at time... so much can change as daily life continues in it's routine. Within the next week there will be a article about us in the Detroit Free Press out of Michigan. I shall send you link once it is in the paper. Bless you all, Jo


Joannforsberg: Thank you all so much. I am not here much lately, yet I shall return to the kind "souls" I have found at fan story. Just "re-arranging" my life to fit the next three years of change. My son goes to Morgantown, West Virginia on May 30th and my husband goes to Butner, North Carolina on July 23td. I will be driving both on their respective dates of arrival. This week we have a Professional Video group coming to create a video of our story here in Michigan. Then, the first place we shall release it to is the CNN News website here on the internet. As CNN allows people to place their story on their site. Then, once the story gets thousands of "hits" of people reading it. They will then send a news crew to build the story themselves and place it on the TV News. So, one step at a time. We just never want to see another family be caught between state and federal law. That is our goal, our mission from this grief we have been living these past years. And, the grief that will exist these next three. Thank you all!
    Joannforsberg: I shall be asking all of you to "click" upon the story to help us get the word out of the entrapment occurring for many between state and federal law. -
    Donya Quijote: If you need anything you have a friend in West Virginia. I live 45 south and knew the area well... -
    Donya Quijote: That is 45 minutes south of Morgantown... -
    Amsterdam:
    I will be following closely...
    Thoughts and prayers.

    adewpearl: For the sake of family, they seriously couldn't put them in the same prison or the same state? Good luck with your news story and furthering this important cause. -


Joannforsberg: Do you remember raining days like this as a child? Remember standing at the door looking out at a gentle rain.

Siblings or friends standing there with you, crowding the door together. Then, some one would give that look; no words needed and the door was thrown open; everyone running bare feet into the yard, onto that wet grass.

Twirling, laughing and splashing with one another. Me, I heading out the door right now to do that.

Gonna go break free and feel the freedom of rain, dancing and splashing!

Older we get the younger we need to become to enjoy those simple moments/memories of life.
    Joannforsberg: I need a shower anyway after all this cleaning. So might as well begin with nature. -
    Amsterdam: Truly.....innocence.
    Very inspiring

    Selina Stambi: Jo, want you to know I'm praying for you and yours. xxx -
    Carole Rosa: Joann, I'm thinking and praying for you and your family. Carole -
    Lovinia: You master a wonderful image of my childhood, well many :))) ..... nothing like dancing in the rain! I wish I could run out there with you ... well I will virtually anyway. I did it here not so long ago ...... wow does it feel good! Enjoy your simple pleasure ... nature is so healing. Thinking of you dear Jo, and yours. Much Love and many hugs - Lovinia xoxoxo -

Joannforsberg: Well it is a good thing you are all here today. For I am a gabber-mouth this morning.

Better to think someone is listening rather than I am talking to myself as I dance, clean and laugh in this kitchen this morning.

And, I am dancing! Dennis did a few spins yesterday in the kitchen to Country Music, kids got a kick out of it still.

Even as old as they are, and as old as we are, they still get a laugh out of watching us dance in the kitchen.

Danced there more than anywhere else in life.


Joannforsberg: Country music up high, candle is lit. Screen door is allowing fresh cool air inside the kitchen. Love this song: If we are being honest, then honestly I need a drink.
LOL.

It is five o'clock somewhere right? What if I make a Bloody Mary, would that be acceptable in the morning? Blessings everyone as insanity truly is a great realm to live within. I am having a great time. XoXo to all! We are all doing good!


Joannforsberg: Rain is slowing down, birds sounds are overcoming the rumble of thunder. As I look out the window over my kitchen sink; I notice black crows have been begun to descend upon the green grass.

Standing there, quietly, waiting and waiting in the rain for those worms to decide that the ground is too soak to remain under the soil. Natures rhythm of life.

Looks like it is fishing time again! Got my poles in the garage, red bobber, and my "gone fishing sign" ready to post on the door.


Joannforsberg: In this darkness in day light I decided to light a candle. At the sink loading dishes, looking outside at rain falling, I needed the enjoyment of candle light.

Old matches in a drawer, striking point over used.

Lighting the match, it seem to be a dud. So, I touch my finger to the stick and in it's weakness it broke.

The flame decided then and there to burst forth.

Burnt left thumb in the middle, nice white bluster forming.

I am not crying, I am laughing at the pain, for life offers such quirky moments.

Candle is lit, filling the darkness with aroma and gentle light.


Joannforsberg: Rain is gentle in it's sound as darkness surrounds.

I hear that soft thunder rumbling in the background.

Yet, no lightening is to be found.

My soul in a quiet place is absorbing all of life changes.

Truly, you can tell I am needing to use expression.

For nature's simplicity is healing, washing clean the wounds
of mankind's creation.
    Lovinia: Dear Jo

    Your amazing strength is so up-lifting. You convey both the bright and the dark as you process your days. Keep your spirit and reach out when you need to. Love - Lovinia xoxo -


Joannforsberg: Morning brightness broke free at dawning; yet in this daylight darkness is attempting to take away the light.

For in the distances a rain storm is comin', liquid painting earth's brown scenery into green masses.

On the riverbed, just over there, look closely and you can see them on the other side; those daffodils we transplanted last year.

Blooming yellow on the hillside, offer me spring brightness on the darkest of days.


Joannforsberg: Just sitting on my front porch, enjoying some morning toast. All the birds are in a "flutter" for in the distances dark clouds are looming. Watching those flapping wings in the sky, reminded me that even in nature there are moments when everything is in a dither.


Joannforsberg: Absorption of life changes truly take time. For the body, mind and spirit all have to a-line. Scientist state "the reason life speeds up in an older age" is because we repeat routines over and over again. Forgetting to even think about what we are doing. So, life has just slowed down for me as this is all unfamiliar territory.
    Amsterdam: when it is pain
    that you surely fell
    Listen to the whispers
    they will help you heal

    Joannforsberg: Amsterdam, love that poem you wrote here. -
    Cletus Hardiman: Hello, my friend....Just letting you know that I am back on the site! It is good to see your face again! Cletus ( Clete ) hardiman -


Joannforsberg: Ain't it funny how time slips away, as my emotions have risen like cream on milk, I scoop moments where peace and joy have been. As today life taste like buttermilk, no sweet flavor to enhance a day. Yet, oh' those memories I have tasted, shared with friends and family along the way.
    Larissa B: i thought about you today.... praying for you , Jo;) -
    Joannforsberg: thank you -


Joannforsberg: The rumbling train with whistle blowing,
comes near our home each morning.
Shaking and rattling our floors just a little,
enough for us to know that life is still rolling.
    Joannforsberg: Well, any and all prayers this next week are greatly appreciated. My son goes to Federal Court on Friday, April 12th (which is also my husband's birthday) to be sentenced to prison for following all state laws to a T. But, Federal DEA needs to "prove" their doing a job in Michigan and have to put away innocent people into prison. Trying to comprehend how in the heck we fell into this dark hole that keeps us tumbling down. -
    Joannforsberg: As we voted for Medical Marijuana in the State of Michigan as did 67% of voters. We have never used, smoked marijuana in our marriage of 37 years. -
    K.W.: You've got them. In spades my friend. Pulling hard for you and yours.
    XO -
    Joannforsberg: Thank you so much K.W. These next few weeks shall be difficult to walk through. -


Joannforsberg: We just want to get to the other side of this mountain and watch it disappear in a rear view mirror. No matter how long it takes we shall be upon solid ground again. Then, take some time to road trip upon this land.
    K.W.: Thinking of you my friend! -


Joannforsberg: A couple days of sunshine does wonder for the soul. Breezy cold winds do still blow, yet grass is getting greener, I cannot see as far through my trees. Life is not getting sweeter, but we shall get through. Blessings, JO


Joannforsberg: Hello, I just placed a update on our April 12th and April 22nd sentencing dates of my son and my husband. It is to just read, not set up for stars or response. I would appreciate it if you would take time to read. Blessings, JO
    elliejean: You did every thing right and got on the side of the wrong You were caught in the midle of state and Federal law. Things like this have been happening. I pray for your husband and son. -
    Joannforsberg:
    thank you! -
    yonashalom: Just letting you know I read your note and I pray a miracle will happen. -
    Val Crisson: Sending cyber hugs, hope, and early dismissal -

Joannforsberg: April 1st, a day I have been dreading to hear it has arrived for some time now. April 12th and April 22nd possibly shall be the two worst days of my life.

Still alive and kicking and trying to walk one day at a time.

Love, laugh, live and embrace those in your life for death is not the only way life takes you away from those you love.

Blessings all! Jo
    adewpearl: Jo, I continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. Please stay strong. -
    Val Crisson: Jo, I have a feeling that something azazingly good will come from all of this misery. Hugs and good thoughts. -
    Joannforsberg: Thank you both so much. -


Joannforsberg: Well, truly laughing out loud. The things I do sometimes. Sorry, I was playing around trying to upload Chad's hula hooping video. I thought I was still in preview mode. So sorry everyone! Had no idea it had posted public. I have disabled it. Geezeâ?¦. my computer skills sometimes. Blessings, JO
    nor84: Actually, Jo, Preview is not the default setting, so you have to check it every time you post. Sometimes it just changes back. I also have to check that Standards are still blocked, and find that changed back, too. -
    Joannforsberg: Thanks. I did not know that.
    -


Joannforsberg: Hello, I am going to be gone again for some days. At some point I will be back as a regular. Need all ya' nice people here, to read your writings and have a conversation with. Blessings all! Jo
    Val Crisson: Hurry Back! -
    Lovinia: Have a lovely break. Warm Hugs from DownUnder.

Joannforsberg: The kindness of strangers is one of the greatest example of humanity.

For it is the best of mankind when empathy is offered to encourage one another.

Truly, kindred poetic writers offer the greatest gift of all, "love" in the form of compassion.

So today again, I shall offer a blessing to each person here. Jo




    Lovinia: Thank you Jo ... your love and blessing are a wonderful gift to receive. Hugs Lovinia xoxoxoxo

Joannforsberg: Yellow tulips in an array, are on what I found on my table today. My husband's surprise, a touch of spring, to brighten my spirits on a winter-spring day. Truly love lifted me seeing a colorful bouquet.


Joannforsberg: Hello, not slowing down enough to put pebble thoughts tossing in my head into mosaic portraits on fan story. I will try to review some.
    William Walz: My ex-wife always told me my head was full of rocks too. -
    Joannforsberg: LOL. Some of us are just born this way. -
    Lovinia: I have marbles in my head ... colorful ones though. I will be back to reviewing soon. So pleased yu are a live and kicking .... I was worried for a minute there! HUGS - Lovi xoxoxoxoxo

    misscookie: Have a blessed day, blessing back to you. -
    Joannforsberg: I had been in the hospital for some days due to stress and extremely high blood pressure. So, back on track now. -


Joannforsberg: It's spring, my world is white and bright.

Yet, soon it shall be green and blooming.

Blessings everyone today.


Joannforsberg: Just a quick hello to state I am still alive and kicking on earth. Hope everyone has a blessed day. JO
    adewpearl: Alive and kicking is good. I've been thinking about you :-) -
    Carole Rosa: Joann, You are in my thoughts too. I hope you had a pleasant rest. Carole -
    Joannforsberg: So appreciate your kind thoughts. I actually ended up in hospital due to stress-asthma related blood pressure problems. Blood pressure got up to 220 over 117, so a Urgent Care sent me via ambulance to hospital. Home now, went and swam yesterday as it so relaxes me. I most likely will not write for some time yet. But, will stop by just to say hello and let people know what happens in April. Blessings! -

Joannforsberg: I must have stopped and visited this place back in January of 2010.

No memory of that moment, yet a time stamp states it's true.

So if you wonder why my writing did not begin until
October 2012.

It was because I was shaking a rug, baking a pie, playing with a grandchild or standing outside savoring rain falling.

Hello, this picture is becoming older and older each day of my life. For as it was taken a few years ago, these past few years have aged me greatly. So, I am a much older looking version of this photo. Weight and wrinkles gained. But, the eyes are the same, the same look of gentleness and wonder at life.

I am placing stories together here for my future descendants.
