Yea ! Yea ! Yea !

I did it, I did it, I DID IT !
     Well glory be,  I did it.  Okay, so now I am going to take pictures and get to blogging  Tootles

Did it work ?

It has been ages since I was able to get into my blog.  Well, I should say I was able to once and then promptly forgot how I did it plus I was having trouble with my computer then got a new one and put windows 8 on it, well, it kept freezing so finally was able to get it off and went back to the original windows 7, which is just fine and for a couple of weeks I am trying to figure out how to get into my blog. What happen was I put a template on which I really loved as it should all my pic's and you just click on it and you could read the story.  Well, that is all fine and good except when I went to the blog there was no place for me to sign in.  What a nightmare !  So now I am going to publish this and go to the blog and see if I have a sign in.  Wish me luck !  Tootles

Pants full of Plants

Look on the porch up the left stairs.  This is what you see in San Francisco.  I love it.  How in the world did they come up with that and how did they do that.  Really cool uh !  Tootles

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
