My Nut House

This blog began years ago when my former boss and friend told me he enjoyed the daily stories of life in the Chin House and remarked it could be a reality show. So we jokingly named it Welcome to the Nut House. I began to blog......

As I read back through it and look at the photos, it is a journal of life as I love it. My children, husband and pets, my hobbies, my politics and sometimes just my random thoughts. I hope you enjoy your trips to my very own Nut House.

You've Got a Friend

When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand and nothing, whoa nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest nights. You just call out my name,and you know wherever I am I'll come running, oh yeah baby to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall all you have to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got a friend.

Deb & Mona

Lean on Me

Lean on me, when you're not strong, and I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long, till I'm going to need somebody to lean on.
