My Cats

That is Edgar (Sparky) above and Elviria below.  They get along about half the time.  The other half not so good.  I have said before he is not a cuddly, sweet cat.  You keep your distance even when walking by as he will swipe at you.  Elviria on the other hand is very cuddly, sweet and down right friendly.  Love it when she sits in my lap of an evening and keeps me warm. As I have said before it's her nails.  She just never learned when and when not to use them.

We are still freezing.  I do know that most of the U.S. is a lot colder then we are But we usually don't get so cold here in Northern CA.  Last night was 18', now that is cold.  I'm looking on the brighter side at least we are on the back side of Winter not going into it.  Hopefully the next month or two won't be as cold.  Tootles

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
