Someone once said -

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for the people who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living." Amen

Thoughts About the Future and What Will and Won't Be ????

I just read an email from a friend that talked about how things as we know would be changing in the near future. Things like actually reading a real book versus reading it on a "Kindle" because it is not only cheaper but you no longer have to go anywhere to buy a book you just download it and then there's no storage space problem???   
Then there is the "land" telephone.....most people are thinking of or already have done away with theirs as the cell phone is all one needs. If you still have a "land" phone it usually is because you just are used to having that number. But the costs are cheaper in the long run to have just a cell with it no long distance charge or cell to cell with the same company is free... plus those telephone bills are outrageous.



Then there is the TV...I hear that the prime TV programs are down to the lowest ratings ever because people are either watching "Netflex" or movies on cable PPV or VOD or they are playing video games...interesting...



Then there is the fact that the PO is going broke...think about it ???? Mail is low because of email and eletronic checking and people just would rather have instant contact rather than the "snail mail"...
And checks will be gone soon....the banks can no longer afford the proscessing of them and more and more people are paying on the Internet and the banks offer this service for FREE...

And newspapers are going away. The new generation has no need for the house to house service when they can use their IPhone or Blackberry to scan the news...I think it will be like the milkman...gone.....

We are becoming an eletronic age and with all this, I ask????? HOW CAN ONE LOSE WEIGHT???? I mena we don't have to leave our seats to any of this, just flick on the computer and click away....Don't believe me???? Think about it???? ........................

What are you doing right now?????? lol.....
got cha.....
That's ok.....we can always eat more chocolate sundaes...





I wonder when surfing the Internet will start costing us???? Think about it???? They have to make money somewhere.....scary huh?????

September Time and New Books to Read



It's that time of year again for starting on those projects for Christmas....I have so many patterns thatq I want to do and not enough hours....we went and took out the RV over the weekend to the ocean south of us. I always love this reswort, clean and pretty, the pool was so warm I got into it too....I usually watch Bob... :)

I didn't make much but I did finish reading "Dark Harbor" by Stuart Woods...great thriller suspense....he is a good writer and one with a lot of detail as to the characters and the plot....I like to not be able to figure it out before the end and he keeps you on the tip of your seat with the ending holding out to the last chapter....

Now I am sarting "A Killer Stitch" by Maggie Sefton....I have read her other books, and love that they come with a recipe and a knitting project... :)

I just figured out that Debbie Macomber's "Cedar Cove" series books are numbered in order...sheesh ... now I don't have to search through them for the dates to figure out which one comes next. My friend went to WA for the "Cedar Cove Days" celebration...I missed it this year because it was all sold out by the time I looked, hopefully it will be on again next year because I will be sure to make it there.... anyways....she told me about the order of the books, like "16 Lighthouse Rd" and "204 Rosewood Ln"...now I have to read "311 Pelican Court" ...

And now there is a terrific cook book out that I know will be on my Christmas list!!! :)

Tour My House's Photo Gallery





I love framed photos and great meaningful sayings. This is one of my favorites about the "Sand dollar" Be sure to enlage it and read it.


Remember the mirror that DH needed to put up, well its up, yeah and it looks great!!!
My neice made me this old post card collage, it depics where I have lived,


vacation annually, and where I was born. It was a terrific present and I cherish it... My music box and trinket collection. I love musical things.....some are very old, some given to me by friends and family, and some I have found in antique stores, estate sales, and even a garage sale especially when I visit my sis in upstate NY.

The two girls dancing above, was a gift from a very good friend of mine.

The yellow duck is the cutest and I found him while visiting my cuz in Kansas City, MO. It actually plays singing in the rain.. :)


The old firetruck I got in Yosemite and the horse cream colored box was a gift from a work friend.


The photos are ones I have taken on trips and framed.

Except this one was actually painted by a local artist and is of one of the local beaches. Can you guess which one?

The next one is of course from our favorite annual family camping spot, Bass Lake.

The next one is from St Thomas in the Virgin Islands, where DH and I went on a cruise...was one of the prettiest places ever.
This beautiful row of Eucaliptus trees is in Morro Bay and is the prettiest pathway almost like a painting.
The sunset is from Florida on one of our visits there. It was off the beach on Treasure Island near Tampa.

Lastly is the best of all, my family gallery. They are all in Sepia tone and several generations of my family. Thanks for visiting my photo gallery!
