Playing in my sewing room,
Does it get any better?
No!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16147724407124918990noreply@blogger.comBlogger101125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934295829295785058.post-33987589245990958292015-09-28T19:00:00.002-07:002015-09-28T19:00:36.387-07:00I'm Back!<span style="font-size: large;">I'm Back! I'm Back! I'm back I'm back I'm back! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is just a starter tonight to see what I have up</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">for pictures, background etc. But the damndest thing</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">is, it has been exactly a year since I have been in here.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">No, really I did not plan on that happening, I just decided</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">this morning to give this another try. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For one thing I am comfortable in here, my so called</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">'blog room'! Way better than face book where everyone</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">is telling me how to be a friend, recipes out the ying-yang,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and the stupid copied posts that I will just go to pinterest</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">to read if I want to see them. Know what I mean?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I had started facebook to keep in touch with family. None of</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">my kids or grandkids are close by, so thought it would be</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">a good way to stay in touch. And it is. Sorta. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, as for me, I will now be having what I gotta say</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">in here. And that is that!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So for now, all is good. And I will talk to ya later!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Loves ya.... </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16147724407124918990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934295829295785058.post-77429470300426121452014-09-26T22:49:00.003-07:002014-09-26T22:49:39.642-07:00Rain Rain Rain, it really rained!<span style="font-size: large;">It Rained Today! And not just a sprinkle. You know the kind that makes your car look all gunky. Nor was it just a quick hit</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and miss shower, the kind where you hear the rain, run to the</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">window to see and its already stopped.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Nope, none of those. Today it poured. Hard. And it hailed, alot!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And it was wonderful!! It came down so hard the patio roof</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">sounded like somebody was taking a hammer to it. And when I</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">saw hail, I was out the door. Stood under the patio and hail</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">was flying everywhere! Shiny little pieces of ice landing on</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">my face, hands, everywhere! Yes, I crunched a few pieces off</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">my hand too. Just could not resist. Could you?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love the smell the rain brings. All the windows in the house and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">doors were opened in the house to bring all that freshness in.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It felt good to think that Summer was finally getting out of the</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">way. And it made me feel, just maybe, California was not</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">gonna dry up and blow away.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, I know it was just one thundery hail throwing wind blowing</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">rain splashing storm is not gonna take care of the drought.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But ya know, it did make me feel good, renewed, hopeful and happy. A good start for the fall season...and so I say, thank you</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">God, I sure needed that!</span><br />

Oh yea, I was. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I felt like a little kid, standing there talking </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">to my </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">husband, kinda kicking my foot, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">tears starting to </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">fall, nose running, and for </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">no apparant reason!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> *admit it, every now and then you feel </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">that way </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">too*!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> So he just looked up at me. He had to look </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">up at </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">me as he was in his favorite recliner </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">position all </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">tucked in with our 3 dogs. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">He looked for a minute </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">and said, lets go </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">for a ride. You need to get out of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">the house. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">You need to get some sun on your face.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Of course I said no. I don't have a bra</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">on and I'm not gonna put one on. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">He kinda rolled his eyes, and said its ok, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">we will </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">not get out of the car. Again </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I sobbed a no at him. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I can't go looking </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">like this, no make up either.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> So he pulled out the big guns. Lets go to Sonic!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Okay. Yea. We can do that! I wipe my nose,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">slipped on </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">some shoes and was ready in a </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">flat 30 seconds.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I usually get a cream slush, but went all out </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">and got </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">the hot fudge sundae. Oh my.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It was sooo good. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">And on the way home, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">looky looky, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Der Weinerschnitzel </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">has 5 for $5!!! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">CAN It Not GET ANY BETTER?? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Yes it did, when we got home I went and took </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">a nice </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">long nap. Oh it was so nice.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I love my husband so much. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I am so so thankful he is </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">in my life. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">That he loves me. He gets me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">He wants me to be happy. And I am.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16147724407124918990noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934295829295785058.post-52983742924527144322013-09-05T10:48:00.000-07:002013-09-05T10:48:23.610-07:00Testing...testing... 1..2...3...me me meTest Test Test<br />
This is a test of your local blogging spot.<br />
Can I still do this?<br />
Is my heart in it.<br />
Why do I not blog these days.<br />
<br />
Shall I keep talking grandkids, sewing, just regular stuff?<br />
Shall I talk about my journey with scoliosis and the changes<br />
it has made in my life through the years. Does anybody<br />
want to read that stuff?<br />
I find it interesting. But then, I have the backload of 'bling'<br />
holding me straight and tall. Of course it is interesting for me.<br />
I don't talk about cooking. Did you know my favorite foods<br />
these days are watermelon and Quakers Real Medleys Oatmeal.<br />
Nothing much sounds good these days.<br />
<br />
I am worried about my dad. Anybody else worried about their<br />
dad? Mine dad is 85, and really slowing down. He is 85, of course<br />
he is slowing down and having problems. So We are heading<br />
to Havasu to get a quick visit in. I enjoy those visits. He speaks<br />
alot of his past these days. I love those stories.<br />
<br />
I will get to see my sister too. Anybody else miss their sister?<br />
I didn't used to. Oh lordy no. She was the definition of the<br />
'mean big sister'. Anybody else have one of those. Gosh they<br />
could be exhausting couldnt they. I am lucky these days,<br />
she has seen the error of her ways. (I have always wanted<br />
to say that). We are actually good friends now. I Love Her.<br />
<br />
So, I guess I can do this blog thing again. Once I just started<br />
talking to myself it was easy to get all this typed.<br />
<br />
pictures will be added at a later date..I have a trip to get ready for<br />
<br />
Big Hugs to anyone out there who needs one!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16147724407124918990noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934295829295785058.post-51665876483120805532013-04-23T21:24:00.000-07:002013-04-23T21:26:44.182-07:00I can see clearly now....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It was time for new glasses. It had to be. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Everything </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">was blurry. Again. Its really </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">been weird. A few years </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ago I was put </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">on oxygen for a short time. When I </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">had my eyes checked, they had improved! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Doc said </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">that happens sometimes when </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">people are on oxygen. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So, about 6 months later,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I was taken off oxygen. Eek.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Its must be true. Things are blurring up. Alot. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">got my new script, bifocals. No biggie. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Got used to </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">them pretty quickly. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But, you guessed it, a few months </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">later, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">things were getting blurry again. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Those were difficult. There was only a close</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">up or far </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">away. I could not see the middle stuff. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Hated it.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Come to find out, the meds I am on for </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">pain, will affect </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">the eye muscles. Really? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Now why did not anybody </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">tell me that.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So anyways, I have new glasses. Again. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Aren't they</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">cute! They match my hair ha! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">And I ditched the bifocals,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">so am now trying to get used to these </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">lineless things.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">WEIRDNESS. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I am a </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">little slow getting going with things, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">have to find </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">the right part of the glasses to look </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">through. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But they </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">have not given me a </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">headache or made me </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">woozy so </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I will </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The nightmare of Boston still weighs heavy</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">in my heart. I've prayed for them all. But</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I refuse to watch any more news about it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I figure, the more we watch the news about</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">it, the more we grieve, feel horrible, ask why</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">why why. And to me, that makes those creeps</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">winners. They are getting what they want</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Our dispair. I won't give it to them. Nope.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Haven't been doing a whole lot the last few</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">months. In January I had my bestest every</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">girlfriend come for a whole week visit! oh</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">it was soooo fun. It was a real slumber</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">party...we even had matching jammies! And</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">did we ever act the fools.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> It has been a long time since I have</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">laughed so hard. Gosh it felt good. She</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">could not have showed up at a better</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">time either, a few days before I had found</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">out I had pneumonia. Let me tell you, she</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">is proof laughter is good medicine.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In June we are going to go see the grandkids</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">and I cannot wait! We will be in Colorado for</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Owens first birthday! So we will get to visit</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">with him and his big brother Landon. He is</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">such a good brother...we are so proud of him.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">He has played his first game of soccer!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The pics are sooo cute!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Then we will be off to Texas to visit with </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Robbie, Olivia and Wyatt! Olivia will be</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">having a birthday too. Her 7th. Such a</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">big girl now. What fun we will have!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">~A little boys first ever sports game!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">~sweet tarts</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">~The wispy hairs around a little girls</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">face.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">~giving the kids a 'kissy face' and hearing</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">For Christmas this year I decided I</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">wanted to make the grandkids slippers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">5 cute little pairs of them! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So I started looking at fabric and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">fell in love with Dr. Suess. I</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">couldn't get enough. I think it</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">was the bright colors. Perfect for</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">kids. And who does not like</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dr. Suess characters? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I started on Landons first. He is the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">cute little guy in my last two posts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Not the baby, the big boy. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">He is 6. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">He is a big boy. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Just ask him! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I got softest red flannel I could find.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dr. Suess flannel and some soft</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">furry plushy fabric for the innards.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Aren't they cute!!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I kinda just quit the blog world for summer it</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">seems. The first of summer was great! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We traveled to Texas to visit the grandkids,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">meet our new grandson, and watch his brothers</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">delight in his arrival.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It was a wonderful time, filled with bunches</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">of kisses and hugs and giggles. What could</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">be better, except of course a sweet brand</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">spankin' new grandson? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My aunt and I have decided to sell a few of</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">the odds and ends we make at a Christmas</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Craft Fair at the Senior Center here in town.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It was an easy decision, but for some reason</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">it has sent me into some kind of silly panic.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Me sell something besides making baby bedding </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">to give and sell to </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">friends and family? YIKES!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My daughter and her husband, who is active duty</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">A.F., just got transferred to Colorado Springs</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">from Abilene. And need I say more than they are</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">lovin' it? Mountains instead of desert scrub brush?!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Easy choice, except I want to move to that</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">scrub brush area! ha!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">this is short, I need to get pics in order to put on here,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">and read lots of my favorite blogs that I have ignored</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">alllll summer. I can't believe I did that. I love all you</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">bloggers out there!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Until later....</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16147724407124918990noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934295829295785058.post-10987895230188328212012-05-12T09:56:00.002-07:002012-05-12T09:56:54.251-07:00Sewing for Baby Owen<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">As I spend a considerable amount of</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">time browsing pinterest, I have seen</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> outside, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">lined with flannel then used</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">chenille on top of the flannel. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Figured </span></div>

No Problem. I LOVE sewing</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">little girl items. No don't get me wrong,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love sewing for my grandsons too, but there</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">is something to be said for ricrac and sparklies, ribbons</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and pretty buttons. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Back to the sewing, for the youngest one,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">still just a baby, I thought I would get</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">creative and make a taggie purse for her.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The little taggie lovies are sooo cute, but</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">you are never to young to start your purse</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">collection. Its made of felt, and between</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the felt are pieces of a washed tortilla chip</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">bag! Oh I was in the kitchen crunching every</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">bag of something I could find. The tortilla was</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">best, and big to boot. I always like a little</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">extra material on hand. ha.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I think it turned out pretty darned cute!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had lots of cute little pieces of ribbon</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">from past projects and they are</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">perfect!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Right now I am loving my new</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>pulmonary doc, Dr. Dennis.

Is trying to find out</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>'why', and best of all, he laughs</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>at my jokes and gives me alllll</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>my appt. time instead of cutting</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>me short.

It is one for people with </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Flatback Syndrome. Was so nice to</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">connect with people who knew what I</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">was going through, had advice and just</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">listened. Well as much as you can </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">listen on an on line board!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">During the first few months I met</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Kathy. We seemed to click pretty fast.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Always had something to talk about,</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">felt comfortable opening up to each</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">other about what was going on. and</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">when I had my surgery I knew she</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">was praying for me as hard as her</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">little southern soul could. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">When I finally made it home and starting</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">my recovery, I remember her calling and</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">praying for me on the phone. When I</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">hung up, I felt soo rested and content,</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I slept the best I had in days. I tell ya, the</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">power of prayer. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So to shorten this up a bit. I finally got</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">to meet up with Kathy this last December!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We flew into Texas to see the grandbabies</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">and Kathy and her hubby had moved up</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">from Houston, so it finally worked out</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">where we could meet! It was wonderful</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">to see her, give her a real life hug and</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">see that pretty face in person! We had</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">the nicest visit, much too short.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I did not just </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">sit down and write. I loved doing it! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I love talking about my </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">grandbabies, what I am </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">sewing, loves, finds...all that fun stuff.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I like to go back and see what had been going on, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">what I had </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">said, (horrible memory). So its time to </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">get back to it. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But first, I am going to try to get my blog looking</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">a little </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">fresher, a few new pics, that kinda stuff.</span><br />

Nope! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I love my regular Kindle. Its never given</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">me a bit of trouble. I love the excerpts from</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">the books that Amazon gives you. Always</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">so easy to operate. And I really loved that</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">nice little button that says "Did you buy this</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">in error". ahem. Yes, I have done that a</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">few times. And zip, as fast as it charged you</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">for the book, it zaps the charge away. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Gosh, do I sound like a Kindle fan or what?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Lots of other wonderful things going on too,</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Grandson Landon is now that wise old age of 5.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Olivia has finally figured out which bus to take</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">home from school. She is 5 also!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Wyatt's doing so much better in school! He was</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">blessed with the most wonderful teacher this</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">year. She is the one you want all your children</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">to have throughout their whole schooltime life.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Son-in-law Greg has new orders in. They will</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">be transfering to Colorado next summer. *I</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">know another overseas tour would have been</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">great...they sooo took advantage of being in</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Germany, but I am happy they are to be stateside*</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Selfish, yes I know.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My health is hanging in there. No new emergencies</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">or set backs. I did get a 'tens unit'...do not know if</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">it is the right spelling on that. I LOVE it. And it</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">really does help!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We are still browsing property in Texas. I'm ready</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">to move now, but we still have a few years till</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Bob can retire. Sometimes patience is not my</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">greatest life skill. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
