  • Hmmmm.

    So.
    I moved.
    Two hours away.
    And I like it.
    Really.
    I .
    Do.

    The Move In took place on Saturday.
    So many boxes, and furniture, and stuff
    you couldn't turn around or walk.

    Today?
    It's all unpacked and (for the most part) in it's place.

    Just got back from Aldi - or as we say in the South? ... Aldi's.

    Hope it's enough.

    Oh Man is it hot ....

    More about the move later .... must go find a place for the food.

    Over.
    And.
    Out.

    Betriska.com .... Don't forget about me - it's time to start shopping for Christmas you know!

  • Maybe it's Monday ....

    Yep.
    Because Friday I was at a Craft Sale with a Friend ....
    And Saturday was Sara's Birthday, and MY BirthING Day,
    and I signed a lease on an apartment nearly in the NEXT State!
    (But not quite )
    And Sunday was a FABULOUS Mother's Day!!!
    And my girls took me to see SPIDER MAN - totally AWESOME!!!

    So. I KNOW that today is MONDAY!
    Yes.

    And because I AM NOT A QUILTER!!!!   
    But, I DO L.O.V.E. my MAMA!!!
    I made this quilt type thing - to honor the passing
    of her little Black Pekinese Dog - INKY - out of
    all the neckerchiefs Mama saved from every grooming
    Inky had in sixteen years of being loved!

    done and look forward to a full day on Tuesday!

    I LOVE YOU - and hope your Mother's Day was FABULOUS!
    And thank you for being my FRIEND! ((((((( ))))))))

    Blessings my People ....

  • Trying to be Tuesday ....

    Too many days pass in just a 24 hour period.

    So much to think about.
    Plan.
    Make.
    Do.

    And yet I continue to hear this Sweet Whisper
    in my ear ....

    "I care for the birds of the field. I will care for you.
    Be still. And know. Do not Fret - but, let
    Faith and Peace be your Friends."

    And I stop - if just for that moment -
    and sigh and know.

    He is a good God - and He doesn't even have to Try.
    He just IS .....

  • Frankly Friday ....

    Yes.Dear.
    Frankly - it is.
    Friday.
    All day.
    Today.
    Unlike yesterday - when Thursday was shortened
    due to extra curricular activities.
    And with hopes of another complete
    day on Saturday. Or not.

    Coming Soon - something real.
    I promise.

    How's this?

    I'm moving.
    I don't have a big dog.
    Or a job.
    I need to pack a suitcase.
    With my toothbrush.
    And multiple knitting projects.
    I broke my rosewood double pointed knitting needle.
    And of all the things that happened today?
    THAT is what made me cry.

    Maybe I should stop now.
    I think I'm rambling.
    *Reading back over this.*
    Yes.
    I'm rambling ....

    and will now cease.

    The End.

  • Well Hello There ....

    You know?
    If you work from home ...
    and you are not AT home?
    You don't get much work done.

    Today?
    I had to leave home. For the entire day.
    HOWEVER ....
    Since being home?
    I've been very productive.
    Sewing - Sock Knitting Bags - from recycled sweaters!

    At the moment?
    I'm a bit annoyed with myself.
    I sewed the last bag.
    The coolest bag together wrong.
    If I rip it out? It really messes up the bag.

    I think I will sell it as is?
    But, just give the buyer a discount.
    To the 'untrained' eye? It's probably not really
    that noticable.

    Did you know Shirley Temple starred in the
    Movie "Sea Biscuit" back in the (I guess it was) '40's?
    I'm 'watching' it while I sew.

    That might explain the boo boo.

    Oh well. Good thing I'm not much of a perfectionist.

    Then on the other hand?
    Maybe I'll go read ....

    (Can we say A.D.D.)
