Photo Hunt (Technogy)

I had a little trouble with this photo theme. I want something different to post. So I came up with a light switch I never knew much about the history of light switch I know they real don’t change all that much in years.
I found a blogger who post a little bit of history on the light switch

Both of the boys was up for Thanksgiving. We all ate over at my sister in law faith place.
They were 23 of us. Plus 5 dogs.
So they following day from Thanksgiving we start to put up the outside lights. Murphy thought it would be a great ideal to steak up a tree in the front and decorate it.
But I have a way better ideal to make a tree with strings of lights and hula-hoop.
I don’t believe it should be hard to do. I know hula-hoop isn’t all that costly. Not sure what the lights will run.
My Uncle Lowell use to do a strings of lights and made a Christmas tree. It could be seen for a long ways. Money is tight this year so I’m not sure if we can afford it or not. Soon Murphy will be out of unemployment. So I’m not sure if we can afford the lights or it would be a wise thing to buy.

It"s Done and More To Do

This weekend I have been sort of fighting down in the dumps. Friday my friend Quenelle and I went over to the Spokane area.
Well after we visit my friend Finny and her hubby we went thrift store shopping. The Valley Village I have to say I wasn’t all that impressed.
I have to say a local thrift store is better and priced better. But still I ended up getting some books that will go in my youth winter box. Each kid will get a book plus two other gifts.
I got Donna a sled decoration she can hang on her door this holiday season.
My son Bart drove us around and we stop at some Thrift stores in Post Falls they where a lot better.
I got some E-Z Strokes and I paid quarter for each jar.
I got a few other things to.

I look for my sons a vacuum cleaner but couldn’t find one and at our local thrift store I got one for just under $10.
Now I need to find anther one for my other son.

I finely got Santa in the tub done and I have to say I prefer the other one.
Now I want to cast some mugs, which I will add to the winter box. Plus buy three scratch lottery tickets and then it should be done.
I need to inventory the kids winter box.

So today which would be Sunday/ Murphy and I went to his sister Faith place to see if what we need to bring for Thanksgiving.
She wants me to bring a toss green salad.
I’ll make some other stuff to but not sure what yet.
We are bringing our friend Quenelle over. This is her first holiday alone since Michael pass away.
Plus I need to mix up some clay so I can cast some ceramic pieces and our drill isn’t big enough to mix the dry ole clay slip.
I’m not planning to cast a bunch of things so I don’t need the big tank going.
So I’m using there big Milwaukee drill

Last bit of news I made peanut brittle first time this year. Because it was snowing can’t think of better reason

There Only So Much

My client/friend got her food stamps cut back I believe it was $90. Her stepson moved out of the home.
Her (I know not legal) Husband Mason wants her to lie about that his son is still living there.
I ensured her she did the right thing and when people aren’t honest it will come and bit them on the ass. I believe in Karma.
So I suggest that I could go down to our local food bank and get there salvaging program 2 to 4 times a month.
I believe one only can pick up a food box 3 or 4 times a year here.
I told her about meals on wheels for senior and the disable, which they will deliver meals to your home. But I’m having trouble finding any thing about it.
Plus she trying to get in low in come (HUD) apartment and her credit has some issues. I ask her if she really didn’t want to deal with it. She said she really didn’t want to. I pointed out that Mason got a notice about his property tax that he got a notice that he needs to have. I don’t recall how much by Dec 20th. But if he doesn’t pay it then their tacking three hundred dollars on it and everything needs to be paid off by March sometime.
Then it will be auction off on step of our local courthouse.
I told her I know it stressful but waiting to last minutes it going to make it worse.
Statement time…Mason had plenty of opportunity to pay the back taxes and choose not to do it.

I’m a lucky wife. Murphy has been doing majority of the housework at our home.
So for tonight dinner he had in oven roast beef heart and mash potatoes.
Then he made a salad.

So tomorrow I’ll be heading down to the Spokane Valley to see my friend Finny which we been friends for years clear back in the 60s.
But I need to call my youngest son Bart up and see if he needs any firewood. Then I’ll know which vehicle to take.
See my friend Quenelle is going to ride down with me. The pickup only holds two people and my car hold four. But it doesn’t hold wood.
But I recall the area Finny lives in being called Greenacres
The funny thing everytime I would go into Greenacres I believe everyone start to sing the theme song from the TV show Greenacres

Green acres is the place to be
Farm living is the life for me
Land spreading out,
so far and wide
Keep Manhattan,
just give me that countryside.

New York
is where I'd rather stay
I get allergic smelling hay
I just adore a penthouse view
Darling, I love you,
but give me Park Avenue

The Chores
The Stores
Fresh air
Times Square
You are my wife. Goodbye city life.
Green Acres, we are there!

Heads or Tail (Autumn Memory)

I haven’t played or been part of heads or tails for a long time plus it fun.
I thought I should give it a try. This week theme is Autumn Memory
Next week theme looks like it will be “soft

When I was little girl. The part of fall I was scared of was the wind. But now I enjoy the wind. Which means taking out something and bring in change.
It seems like autumn starts the day after day labor day when one adventure back to school.
We all got to see what one got in new clothes to start the school year.
To meet our new teachers and see our new books, so we can see what we may learn.

I enjoyed riding my horses during a fall breeze which always seamed to make the horses spunky and spirited.
They would hop and prance around.

Fall means change in one eating of hot drink such as hot tea, hot apple cider, hot coca and some hot soups or stew.
I like a bowl of hot chili with corn bread

One thing I still like about fall is watching leaves change color and falling so graceful from the trees.
At this time some of the trees are naked and bare. I see a few leaves hanging on my thread for dear life

The Day Before I Go To Work

Well I got my dishtowel embroidery. It sure took me long enough and it wasn’t really all that much to it.
This towel will be add to my “winter box”

I even took a little time and did some painting on my scarecrow. I’m sort of pushing my self to finish up the two projects I got going.
I complete the patches and pockets.
But for some reason I can’t find the color I did the jacket in.
Once the jacket is painted.
Then the highlighting, antiquing, or wipeback then it’s done.
I got a little bit to do on Santa in the tub.
Next week I’ll finish up the Santa.
Then I’ll cast some mugs that will go in the winter box.
I need to do a few Christmas ornaments which will be part of the winter box activities

I have a wet jet which I total love.
I wasn’t much on mops of days gone by. You would mop your floor and keep the gross head on it. Store the bacteria or nasty crap from the floor and use it again.
Now with the wet jet use the pad and toss it in the trash.
Well now they came out with a different shape bottle of cleaning solution and it rides much better then the old one.
After the solution is empty I’ll use basic H with it

This afternoon earlier I went up and seen my friend Quenelle. She and I walked up on the upper plateau of her property.
She wants to add an oriental theme to her gardens.
She wants to host wedding
But she likes us we don’t have a lot of capital to work with.
Statement time…I think she going to have a hard time finding people to pay her asking price for what she offering.
She asked me to bring up different subject matter and I pointed out that people will see the price and the numbers of guest aloud.
But we did have nice visit.
I brought a piece of chocolate cake for both of us and she made hot tea

Well when I got home. I decide to transplant some stevia from my hodgepodge flowerbed to my royal sunshine flower bed.
I don't think they'll be much more time this season to be out in the garden. It spitting snow now

Sky Watch (Changable Sky)

Never know what the sky will be doing from day to day, sometime minute-to-minute.
So being Friday I took a random picture of Skywatch Friday

Not sure what kind of weather I was looking today. It snowing this morning but I believe it will warm up later on and it will be gone.
I walked to the edge of our lawn and took a picture up toward Black Mountain. Keeping thinking we should drive up and get a Christmas tree soon.
Last year we got a beautiful Alpine fir.
The permits are only five bucks.
But the real cost is the fuel and if you add that to it. It cheaper or the same cost just buying one for $20 bucks at BTC.
If we buy a Christmas tree I’m going to look at

fraser fir.
Last time the boys were up visiting. I told them I want a Christmas tree. There answer was just go out in the middle of some Christmas tree farm and just whack one down and pull it out.
Plus there telling me where this tree they been babying more then others. In hope it will be in the White House someday.
When the boys were younger they were thrilled about a tree of Christmas.

Off To

I tired so hard to have a positive weigh in at my Tops meeting. Well I can see why I gain weight the weigh in before this.
But this time I gain two pounds.
My hubby been doing most of the cooking and he doesn’t buy a lot of prepare package food but his choices I feel isn’t the best.
He bought the fattest ground beef and is making casedeas.
Then he will add a little pork sausage.
So I wonder if it my hubby cooking. Might as well blame it on him.
I might say I fell off the wagon but that wouldn’t be a true statement. Statement time…the changing my life style when it comes to my health is on a broken wagon

Well today I did two client one was Faith who isn’t at hard. It was short day and I got a few things at Safeway. Grapes there are at $1.79 a pound.
Plus there super sweet

Then off to do Murphette. The only house work I do there is dishes and I know if I did anymore. It sure wouldn’t benefit the gentleman who is staying there.
Sometime I’ll give more detail what is going on.
But today I took her up to the Jenni Lane apartment and she could request a fair hearing why she getting rejected. And never explain what is wrong with her credit.
Talking to the residential manger he said over the last year. 4 out 5 people who apply for the low-income housing get turn down.
Actual before that we went and turn in the paper work for food stamps.
Then we headed to down town Bonners and finished out the rest of her errands.
First one I needed to go over to our local clerk office and get a copy of her oldest daughter marriage lesion
Our local courthouse isn’t really at all set up for the handicap. One can get into the lower level of the courthouse but I don’t believe any other floors.
Then I had to go over to Safeway again and get her prescriptions.
Opinion time…I find it disgusting how these drug company real empty out ones pockets Her two prescription cost $300 give or take a little bit.
She has Medicaid but still it taking from the taxpayers. They could have Medicaid pick up a generic brand that does the same thing for a whole lot less.
Then my last stop was the post office to get her 10 stamps

Well when we got back the people who does the fair hearing called and explain why they where possible things wrong with Murphette credit.
The three main credit companies what conflicting information.
Question time…Why in the hell didn’t someone say anything. Except you have problems with your credit.
So now she can get this straighten out. I know it anther loop hole to jump throw

Before I went out to work I fix some of my weather report pictures.
Then this evening my son Bart called me up and possibly need to barrow $225 for rent. He got approve for a student loan but it might not be here by rent day
