Happy January

Just told you about my new computer and will say no more other than I love it and it is working out great.

The sun is shinning bright coming in the windows and that makes me happy.  Looking forward to spring as we all are.

Have been doing some crocheting.  I made a neck scarf and am now making gloves.  Once I figure out how to put the pics on I will show you.

I have started a shawl in knitting.  Don't faint.  Knitting is a lot harder for me and you have to be so careful of dropping a stitch but this pattern is so beautiful.  It's call, "Prayer Hands Shawl,".  If you want the pattern or just want to see what it looks like just google it.  I found the pattern from a lady who has a blog and lives in The Ozarks, in Arkansas. Will put her blog address on my site.  Let me tell you she is very talented.  I have two rows so far and like I said as soon I can figure out this picture adding on I will start showing my progress.  Tootles

Good Morning.
I'm very excited this morning as I have a new computer.  Jim brought it home yesterday.  You see we sold our iphones.  Yes, that is right.  I know what you are thinking, how could I.  Well, number one is the cost of the phone, the data monthly and when you realize you are not using it very often, that is to actually call or text someone, well, you get the picture.  So we had other phones here in the house that we switched to and sold our phones.  Got a good price for it too, and I got this great computer.

It's called a Lenono.  Never heard of it ?  Well, neither have I but it's amazing.  It's all in one, 23 inch screen, keyboard and get this a touch screen.  That will take some getting use to.  I can ever have the keyboard on the screen.  Crazy uh?  I'm just getting use to all of it now and will be getting pictures loaded up to share.

So Happy New Year everyone.  Tootles

Tea Anyone?

Lot's to talk about for the new year.  I have tried loose tea and I love it.  I swear once you do it's hard to use a tea bag again.  I do, of course as I make the loose tea a special occasion.  I'm knitting again and doing much better.  And I am reading lots of books.  Will be listing them and why I enjoyed them.  So here is to 2013 and all that implies.  Tootles

New Years Eve 2012

Welcome !  The last day of 2012 and what a year it has been.  Great things have happened and some not so great but that's as it should be.  That is life after all.  Well, Happy New Year to everyone and will be back soon.  Tootles

Counting your Blessings

No, these are not my tulips.  I have not put my pic's on this computer yet so am using what they have here.  They are pretty and maybe we can have a blessing for each flower you see.  Start counting everyone.  That is what is so beautiful as we all have different Blessings and to have a flower and a very pretty one at that remind you of each Blessing, well that is just plain wonderful.  Enjoy, and Happy Thanksgiving to all.   Tootles

Just Down the Road

What a neighbor to have, uh?  Well, to be truthful , it's not exactly in my neighborhood, but wouldn't it be just too cool if it was.  I can smell the ocean spray and the trees as the waves come up on the shore.  The sound.  Oh, to close your eyes and hear the ocean as it's whispering it's secrets and you are telling yours. 

I'm working out my numbers.  The birthname number and the birthdate number.  It's really quite interesting.  Plus for some people, if you marry then of course your name has changed as well as your name number.  I'm just in the middle of it all now so will let you know if anything exciting shows up and I missed it.  Ha!  I'm just kidding because I do believe in numbers.  To me it's the same when people say,  "It just worked out", or "It was like clock work", or "It was a chance meeting".  I guess you could say I just believe.  I believe in Magic, Faeries, Numbers, Tarot, and of course God, where it all began.  Here is to all of you Believers out there !  Tootles

Welcome

 What a great day.  It's Sunday, it's a lot cooler than it has been and how I love mornings.  The Sun is just starting to shine through the trees and it is beautiful.  You can see we still have the porch light on.  This is taken from my bedroom window and I am sorry to say in the next photo you can see the screen.  I think it has taken on a different quality.  It's like you wonder if it's real or imagination.  The kids really do have a good time on the swing set and I must admit that is one of my favorite things to do.  I swear your cares and worries just blow away when you are on the swing.  Of course I no longer jump out any more, that would not be a good thing nor would it be pretty to look at. Ha!
There is a picnic table at the bottom of the picture.  It's nice having everything right together and we do enjoy our yard.

My, can you believe October is half over.  I swear time is flying by.  Why is that ?  When you are young and in you teens it crawls by.  You think you are never going to be a teenager, then comes 16 and that comes even slower.  You feel 18 and 21 are never going to get here and after that someone speeds up the clock and wow your amazed how fast it goes.

Hey,  I read something on line, a mystery of some sort and I think I have that same thing happening in my house......  This woman said she keeps seeing this mystery women in her house, especially when she looks in the mirror.  She wonders just who is that "old lady", and where did she come from.  I know what she means.  I walk by my window and just get a glance of an old women also.  She seems to be following me where ever I go.  I think she is the one turning down the TV, that I can't hear and I don't know how she has done it but the wall the TV is on seems to be a lot further than it use to be.  Well, let me tell you, I am on the case and I will figure this out.  Now if I could just remember where I put my teeth but first I have to find my glasses or it's no use looking as I can't see anything without them.  I sure hope she hasn't put them somewhere just to get my goat.


I was watching PBS this morning and they came up with a wonderful recipe for killing weeds.  WITHOUT POISON ,  It's 5 to 1.  You take 5 parts of water, boiling and add 1 part salt, (any kind) let it dissolve.  Put it in a container that will pour and go get those weeds.  You just pour it on the weed right in the middle.  When it's fallen over pull the whole weed out and sprinkle some salt on the soil and it should not come back.  Tootles
