I finally did it

I have been blogging to myself off and on for several years. One thing kept bugging me--how to add pictures to my gadgets without having to utilize a third party host site. Many thanks to Rachid Amaoui https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!starred for helping me

Seems like just yesterday

My mom, me and four of my sisters and first born son in the buggy--along with a couple of neighborhood kids. A couple of times every year we would go to the the park, have peanut butter, tuna fish, and baloney sandwiches and cool aid. Our family wound up being nine girls and two brothers. Almost always, my dad and an extra two or three kids from the neighborhood were part of the march.

What To Do???

I am always wanting something to do while sitting in the doctor's office. What works for me is embroidering pages for a quiet book Click here! --just need to bring along a piece of fabric, needle, thread, and my binocular glasses. After having cataract surgery I have 20/20 vision but needed glasses size 6+ (which I could only find online) for doing counted cross stitching.

I Just Did...

What do you think about my twins, are they not beautiful?



While at the beauty salon having my hair cut, I noticed the hair on some of the busts (used by students to learn their cutting skills) was quite short. My first thought was how expensive it must be to have to keep buying new wigs for teaching purposes. So... I had to ask just how expensive it was. Come to find out, the heads are made of rubber. When the hair gets too short to work on, the heads get tossed. My second thought was "I want one". I didn't know why I wanted one--I just did.

I could probably use one (or two) for many reasons.

1. Owing to more people buying homes in our neck of the woods, the deer are liking our veggies more every year. Fencing what we can, scattering hair, soap, and spraying helps. Oh my why not dress up my garden with twins in lieu of a scarecrow?

2. As a passenger in our car?

3. I am about to sew my first bucket hat. Perfect for trying out proper size!

4. Seated somewhere in our home (I love it)?

Our Cutie Patootie Update...



Last summer he wandered into traffic; enough said!

Cutie Patootie the II (pictured below)ran under our car whilst we were pulling into our garage, Christmas week. OMG, heartsick! We decided NO MORE Cutie Patooties for us.

Do I Not Have The Best Little Brother!

I got a call this evening from my brother--my computer is dead, but that he could still get at my files. He is copying my whole drive over to another drive, but first he is copying just my most important folders over to ensure I don't lose my work. Received a second call shortly after. He found a mother board or drive or something like that on Craig's List for $45 and would I be interested. OMG, yes! He is picking it up at 10 pm tonight.

Did I mention he has lots of old lady sisters? He doesn't know it yet, but sis #4 thinks her laptop is dead.

It's Just Me

I had made arrangements to drop my computer off at my brother's place of work--he would take it to his house to work on (my hard drive may have been damaged during last thunder storm). I thought I knew where he worked--NOT. Of course, I forgot my cell phone. Twelve miles back home. Finally got to drop the computer off two days later. Computer was fine--how did I know the bottom electrical socket was on a switch!

Pictures Speak Louder than Words

This dog acts like I am Hannibal Lecter. I don't dislike her, but she DOES look like a hairless Guinea pig with brown splotches and bangs.



I babysat her for several days during a two week period, sat with her, walked her, and let her out of her cage each day, but she would not eat one bit of food or any of her favorite doggie treats I offered her. I have decided the dog is just plain rude (lol).

Isabel



What am I to do with her--give her a haircut? Looks like she told a lie and her nose is growing. Should I try planting her nose? Anyone?
