Gentleman Know his Way Around the Kitchen

Murphy been doing great around the place. Murphy works seasonal about 9 months of the year and I work part time.
When he is laid off he takes care of the home and actual does a good job.
He even admitted it, that he wonder how I came home and did housework after doing it at work.
He can see how it would be metal hard.
Honest time...I’ll do some before I go to work and when I get home I just can’t face it. But in the evenings I’ll do some housework
But I guess as most men when they do project they have trouble multi tasking.
The other day Murphy redid our kitchen lights and I was at work and things didn’t go as smooth as they could of.
So laundry got backed up. But I think we are slowly gain on laundry.
Anyhow my father was totally helpless when it came to domestic chores. His reply was “woman work” and my mother had they over him.
Murphy got a good domestic skills and he would stave or living in rat nest.

If It Wasn't For Interruptions

I decided today I was going to do some thru cleaning in our home.
Well it just didn’t work out that way.
It seem like I was helping others today around the place with there projects

Bart gas tank was in back of his pick-up bed and they had to drop the tank to put on brake lines.
Him and his brother Sawyer decided to put the gas tank in back of the pick up. Also they have empty keg here and they want to convert it into a gas tank on some rig.
I ended up helping Bart position his gas tank under his pick up, as well as Murphy.
He wasn’t yet got the gas tank complete done but I think it close.

Then Murphy decided that the chimney need a piece of Tin over its opening before the spring rains come in.
“Well I think it going to snow before we see any rain again.”
Well Bart and his dad went on the roof and I stayed down below finding tools that they forgot to get. I guess I was on ground for moral support or to listen to Murphy say few cuss words.
As I was listening to Murphy swear words I notice there was more sign of spring popping up in the hodge podge flowerbed.
Murphy and his siblings weren’t allowed to say swear words.
I could say swear words when I grew up because my father swore all the time.
Now back to the chimney. Well things didn’t go as smooth as we had hope for and anyhow I don’t think it ever does.
Murphy had all the same size cement drill bits and different size of bolts to hold the tin down.

But before that Murphy called his sister Faith up and wondering if they want some Austrian Pine fire wood for there little wood stove.
This pine had to be used up this year or it would have been hauled to the dump.
So we ran the wood over to Faith place

After we delivery the wood and visit for less the hour.
We went over to quality feed a local feed and hardware store and Murphy got the right size bolt for the chimney.
Since we were in town I need a few things and we stop in at grocer store to grab a few items and I was going to get a gallon of white vinegar to clean with but I forgot it.

Well I got a few things done that I need to be done. I got three load of laundry done and one folded and put away.
I got one my kitchen counter corner decluttered and a small table in my dinning room somewhat decluttered.
Clean up counter top that holds my toaster and coffee maker.
Then did a fairly good cleaning on my stove.

Not Enough to Go Around

I just finish balance out the check book and we never have enough money. I haven’t yet paid the gas bill, phone or the water bill.
The electrical bill is coming the first of the month.
Our 3 biggest bills are the gas, electrical and food.
Murphy gets an unemployment check this Friday and I’ll get paid the 3rd but the check will be dated for 3rd of March

Sawyer been living with some of his friends and he stop in to use our washer and dryer.
First thing he does is raiding our fridge and found some left over spaghetti.
I found out they were short on toilet paper and bar soap and I gave them two rolls of toilet paper and bar of soap. They been showering with dish soap and I done that before.

I’ve got my order all ready for Breck’s bulbs on there catalog they have $25.00 off coupon. I actual can get a few nice bulbs to plant around the place.

I’ve been doing a little bit of genealogy on my Father Side. I’m trying to find the marriage of my grand father Clarence Witherell and Elsie Miller in Jackson Michigan and it looks like I’m going to have to right to the county clerk of Jackson county Michigan.
I know my Grandmothers parents Theodore and Sarah (Keyport) Miller had a Boarding house in Jackson Michigan and my grandfather rent a room and their he met my grandmother.
They were only married a short time for they got divorced.

Primordial

Every Sunday at the gardenia center for their Sunday Service they give everyone a Sunday program.
They have up lifting and spiritual words of life.
“ The most important, the primordial relationship in your life, is your relationship with now, or rather with whatever form the now takes, that is to say, what is or what happens. If your relationship with now is dysfunctional, that dysfunctional will reflected in every relationship and every situation you encounter. The ego could be defined in this way: A dysfunctional relationship with the present moment. It is at this moment. It is at this moment that you can decide what kind of relationship you want to have with the present moment. From A New Earth By Eckhart Tolle
I’m not sure what a primordial relationship would be. But maybe we all put too much is worrying about our external being not our internal being.
I always liked the word dysfunctional, what may be dysfunctional for one person may not be dysfunctional for anther.

Oh I want to see the mountain tops resent they been covered with coverlet of clouds. In few days it will be March and shortly we will be celebrating Ostara. Not looking much like Ostara much around here still hiding under a medium layer of snow.
Murphy and I stop at home depot and got some things to fix the light covers in our kitchen.
They had some flowers in like primroses and some bulbs. I was eyeballing the white dahlia to add to side of my barn/shed.
As I wonder thru home depot I was trying to find items that I could use for a display when I take my ceramic to craft shows.
It needs to be attractive and easy to handle

But before that we stop in at co-op to see if they had any rubber boots in a wider with for Murphy and he was looking.
I went over to see what kind of seeds they had in stock and it dawn on me. That I’m going to have “seeds” part of my Ostara altar.

Hazel Miller

Hazel Miller passed away Feb. 17, 2007, at Boundary Community Nursing Home after an extended illness. She was 82. Hazel was born in Detroit Lakes, Minn., in Becker County, on Feb. 23, 1924, to Roy and Clara Halverson. She married Peder Miller on Feb. 23, 1941, in Detroit Lakes, Minn. They had two sons, (Living). and (Living) A. Miller.
They moved to Boundary County in 1944, where they resided until 1956 on a ranch near Addy. They moved into Bonners Ferry after selling the ranch, then moved to Coeur d'Alene for one year. From there they moved to Issaquah, Wash., until 1984, returning to Bonners Ferry after Hazel retired from Boeing with 25 years service.


Hazel was an avid gardener and loved to work by the hours in her garden and flower beds. People will remember her winning many ribbons at the county fair for her beautiful dahlias. Up until a few years ago she enjoyed making lawn and garden ornaments out of wood and painting them. She was always being told that she had the most beautiful garden in town. She fished, logged and farmed along side her husband throughout their marriage.


Hazel leaves behind her son (Living) and Wife (Living) Miller of Mill Creek, Wash., and (Living) and Wife (Living) Miller of Moyie Springs, Idaho.


Her five grandchildren, (Living) and three step grandchildren,(Living).


There are also eight great grandchildren, (Living) and five step great grandchildren, (Living)

Her husband Peder passed a few years ago and I believe she has 3 sister in Minnesota and my mother in law that lives here.

Yes I’ll remember Hazel always present what she did with flair of class and at any family gathers she brought a great potato salad.
What every they said about how beautiful and great hazel flowers bed and garden was. “It’s all the truth”

A editor note..Hazel Miller was Murphy Step Aunt

Simple Task that Wasn't So Simple

It should be so simple but it sure isn’t.
We put on new motor to the ceramic slip pour table and it went fine.
But notice it needed a new pig tail (plug in) and switch both had frayed wires.
A simple task to add a pig tail and switch to the little motor. “But it sure hasn’t been”.
Well we finely got it to go but we don’t under stand what the problem was before.
It took Murphy better then 5 hours to get the pump going.
I don’t need to ask anyone that the whole time he was saying a string of cuss words.

Can't Make Up its Mind

Blah Blah haven’t had much to blog about.
Today I went in to Courd’Alene Idaho to Kootenai Memorial Hospital to pick up my client Callie who had surgery on her neck they put in shim between her neck vertebras.
Surgery went well and in about two weeks she will start physical therapy.

I was going to take some picture of my trip down to get Callie. One time I’d be driving though winter conditions, blowing snow and sleet even at time when truck passed there was white out conditions.
Then a little bit downed the road it was spring like driving conditions.
The weather just couldn’t make up it’s mine

More Bare Dirt East of Us

Today we went up on Katka to visit some of our friends Quenella and Earl.
Murphy brought up a little smoke to share with them and of Crouse they shared back with us.

She been writing out a letter to court for her son. He was been having trouble with his ex wife over custody
Not knowing the true details I won’t go in it.
When her ex daughter in law then daughter in law did up their site for her weddings. Well after her son spilt the sheet. Wrote a big “Fuck You” across Quenelle site.
Ok she only witches I ever new did mean and nasty things

But I guess once she gets the paper work done for her son she will go back on working on her wedding place and site.

She has beautiful gardens full of wonderful flowers. But I have to say mine up farther then her.
All of her flower beds are showing bare earth and we only have two place is showing bare earth is under our front window and I have things a peeking though the earth.
On the edge of barn/shed I have bare ground showing but I don’t think any thing has pop though yet.
My yellow and purple flower bed still covered in snow

Both Are White

We got the pump working we decide to replace the motor on the pump. The one on there before was throwing sparks.
Murphy remembered that we had and old motor in shed on the North Bench and he walked back and got it.
I visit with my mother in law Norma Murphy Step Mother. I found out her sister Hazel passed away. She had dement ion and Alzheimer in my Opinion time…Hazel Alzheimer was brought on by stress

Well when we got back home we took the old motor to the pump off and put on the new one. Well new to us.
We tested it before we actual hooked it up.
Now I’m in search of anther motor. Most of the time the motors are from old dryers or washing machines.
We never bought a new motor for the pour table. Some how we always bumped into them at yard sales, garbage, and place that are free or nearly free.
Murphy was going to mix up a batch of slip and found the entire chemical that is adding it. But the label fell off of two of the chemicals and their both white in color. One of them is semi gritty and the other one feels like flour.
My guess is that the Soda Ash would be grittier.
Then the
Barium Carbonate would be a texture like flour.
My friend Karen who lives in Troy Montana might know the different between Soda Ash and Barium Carbonate. I know she has mixed up several batch of clay since I have.
See Karen had brain surgery I mean major stuff the closes place was San Francisco to do the surgery.
I found and old recipe to mix clay and I wasn’t sure for how many bags and I start to read off the ingratiation and she new right off for how many bags.
Hopefully she can tell me the different in the two chemicals.
The only other one is Sodium Silicate

I was going to blog about my client sister Eris getting thrown in Jail well maybe anther time I will.
Her sister thinks she needs to set their for a while and I can understand why.

a Snip and Pull Here and There

This morning I went and had a Skin tag. removed
It only stung for little while. Nothing real big

Murphy and I got the water put in the pour table and for some reason we can’t get the pump motor to turn.
The pour table hasn’t been used for a very extended period of time. So it could be real simple like the pulls may need lube or a new motor.

A Very Nice Welcome

Yesterday Murphy sister Faith inspired him to start to mix a batch of ceramic slip up. We were looking at some catalog that the things in their sells for 20 arms, 8 legs and 3 ears. All outrages.
I know I can’t compete with wal-mart.
So Murphy and I haul out the pour table and washed all down and hauled it back in to let it dry.

So after the service at the Gardenia Center we started to mix a batch of clay up. Got in our 11 gallons of water and couldn’t get it to pump though.
Figuring there is a big clump of old clay in the pump tower and there is to much water on floor to real do much with, waiting for the water to dry out.
So I don’t see it happening today. But it start toward my # 24

As we were working on the clay I looked out the window and seen a group of robins in an crab apple tree.

I have to admit the speaker at the Gardenia center was very interesting today and never knew much on it’s history.
18 years ago they was looking for place for all believes met and they found this old church building which was up for sale and need a lot work and real couldn’t afford it. And they made and offer for it and got it.
They want to name it after a flower and they all liked what the gardenia flower stood for, joy and the shape every petal is equal in size which represent we are all equal.
The color of white represent purtiy and I the color of white I don’t recall what it represent.
When they first open some group wrote things of hate towards the group who attend the gardenia center and all the brave souls of that time didn’t get up set and washed it all off.
One of the members decide to attend the local minsters meeting group and she was ostracize. In most community the local minsters of the churches meet and try to better the community.
But the other churches didn’t want any part of the gardenia center.
So March 10th they’re going to have a open house to the public. I’m not sure what I’m doing that Saturday I might check out the Irish Festival in Libby Montana or go to the open house.

Judging Others For Judging

Confession time…when I see or hear of conservative Christians my thought of them is they’re judging others.
There is no way of proving this but I still feel this way.

I’ve been going though Ultra Blog Party and click on every link to see if they were Christian, non christian or unknown believe.
If they have any of these things on their blogs such as biblical verses, mention Christianity, or Jesus.
My first reaction is “who died and gave the Christians the right to judge”
See right their I’m accusing someone with out proof of judging or even if I have proof.
I’m judging them of judging.

I was over to see what bloggers sign up for ultra blog party. Well as far as I see there only 7 non Christians.
61 there believes are unknown.
49 of them are of Christian faith, honest time…as I was looking though their blogs I kept thinking to my self “why bother doing this they as christian don’t want anyother believes in their little clique” because ultra conservative Christian judge others.
Then more and more I start to see who was involved I noticed my inaccuracy of judging.

I didn’t spend a lot of time reading the blogs and small numbers of them I couldn’t get open.
But some of the blogs even if faith is different then mine. I even notice a lot of them I have some of the same interest as they do

I tought and I Don't Know If I Should

I swore that I had for one of my 101 things to do in a 1000 days was to add a shelf in my dinning area that I could display my saltine cracker tins which I have 4 of them.
Also I have set geese canister set, which I might remove and put up during the holidays.
I’ve got this old candle mold which been in the family since the 1700s I know of.
It might be earlier then that.
I know the Witherell Family came over on the Hercules in 1635.
I still have an old barn lantern from the 1700’s or so.

I’ve made a little headway on pricing my finish ceramic pieces but still a long ways to go.
Part of my 101 things to do 101 things # 4

Yesterday when I got home their sits a package on our dinning room from my valentine card swap partner Gemmas
I receive a homemade card and magnet which now is on my fridge. She also send me some bubbles which I’ll use when it warmer and watch the glistens in sunlight.
Thank you, Gemma

Just the other day I thought I notice something peaking through my hodge podge flower bed below my living room window.
I believe they’re daffodils because that’s the earliest flower I have planted in there. The snow has melt away from the barn edge but I haven’t yet been over their to check anything out. Last Fall I planted some tulips and sprinkle some “love in the mist” that my friend Quenelle gave me.

The first part of February I send my nominees for share the love blog awards which was hosted by One Womans World
I like to thank her for her time to host this event.

Valentine Wish For All

New Ideal For Blogs Awards

I enjoyed looking and reading the blogs that was in finial running for The hidden treasure awards for 2007.
Well these awards got me wondering. My brain never shuts up and sometime it over whelming.
But I’m learning to clam the brain down

My question is “ why were the majority nominees for the hidden treasure awards were just given to Christians?” All these blogs deserve around of applause for their writing and blogging skills.
Maybe I should re ask my question. “Was their any other group nominating for hidden treasure awards?”

Confession time…I enjoyed being a part of both blog awards even none of my nominees never made it around first base.
So I came up with a nutty ideal and knowing I don’t what I’m doing or real don’t have the time to do it.
I went over the Nobel Prize and I though their would be some categories to make up a blog award for. I guess not.
Then I put in google search for human emotions and came up with quite a few. click here
I think it would be interesting and fun to make blog awards in some human emotional categories such as
here is some human emotions
I believe these categories could be made into a blog awards; CONTEMPT, FEAR, JOY, Loneliness, PRIDE, ·  Schadenfreude? (German word for feeling pleasure in someone's misfortune) I’ll bet when we read someone blog and sometime we’ll think, “That blog made me feel ________ and it should get an emotional blog award”.
No I don’t have time or the know how but if someone wants to run with this ideal their welcome to

All The Fuss

My friend Alice threw her daughter Nicole a baby shower. Her baby is due around Saint Patrick day and it’s going to be a boy.
I have to say something “People over reacts to babies” I love my boys and enjoyed all the stages. I may not be a big fan of early teens and mid teens.
As Nicole was opening all of her wonderful things for her baby, some of the guests were going “Oh how darling” maybe I just don’t get the fuss.
Yes I do coo over babies and now I look at my boys who are well on their way out into the world.
I remember some of the hardships were brought to us, and the joys of raising two boys.

Murphy may have plenty of faults but we always provide us with a home, which was never fancy.
I didn’t every worried about going hungry may not ate fancy foods. Most of the time had to shop by the sale ads.
I’ve never doubt his love for his family.

I guess I was wondering what kind of environment this new one, will be brought up in. After thinking about what I was thinking on.
I better take a good look at us how we did our own boys.
When our boys were little we had to pump our water by hand, from a well. Let me tell you it is the best tasting water and we weren’t on the grid.
Lived in what I call a one-bed room construction trailer with an add on. Heated the place by wood.
Plus we used an out house.

I hear that we all marry some traits of our parents. Alice all most ex husband or Nicole dad is what I would call a person who real never truly supports the family. He basic worked enough to buy a bag of smoke.
I don’t if he choice not to support his family or just didn’t get it.
I’ll see Nicole husband end the grocer store and he buying a 6 pack of beer. To the best of my knowledge he isn’t employed or drawing unemployment.
Maybe he picked up a day job and earns a little bit of cash for his beer money and saw no other food with it.
You see Mariam, Nicole dad is basically the same.

I hope I’m wrong about Henry being some what like his father in law. I don’t doubt Henry loves Nicole and does love his family.

Over at Every Day Mommy she has the finalists for the “hidden Treasure blog awards. Click here for more information.
I haven’t yet got though all the choices but I got 3 down and 5 to go

Something From Back East

Yesterday I sent Bart down to the Naples Post Office to pick up my package and I wasn’t sure were it came from or their was so many possibility of what it could be.
Well my Ostara Scavenger hunting partner Diane over at Diadsie I receive some divine items which I can use.
I’m looking forward trying the recipe and I’ll post picture when I make it.
Two of the items which I receive will be put on my altar for Ostara is her picture of a beautiful bush and a small note book which she put in some inspirational “friendship lightens every burden and makes the sun shine brighter.”
I’m going to add little inspirational saying to this book.
Diane also sends me a cooking spoon.
I haven’t heard of any having to many spoons or specula’s in anyone Kitchen.
For something to grow this spring she sent me some seeds, which consist of marigold-cosmos-money.
Later on I’ll put them in my hodge podge flowerbed, which is slow becoming uncovered.
Then on my dinning area shelf I add the fruit she gave me.
I got a few things for my scavenger hunt partner put I wish the fog would lift and it wouldn’t be so dreary outside so I could get nice picture

An up coming event is a spring fling, hosted by Heart of the nest
In all honesty I don’t think I will have anything in bloom March 21st we don’t plant anything till May.
But I do have bulbs and other things planted around that comes up every year.

The snow is shrinking down on Groundhogs day my rock that was pecking out of the snow and now it showing it’s entirely.
My hodge podge flowerbed on groundhog day was almost complete covered and today quite a bit of snow is leaving the bed.

Personal Note: This was going suppose to be published the 10th of Feb but my computer was having it’s day and triple grr can't get the slide show to line up

When Is It More Than a Major Fart Stain

I can’t say much exciting is going on and today I went to work and I made a huge batch of Lasagna for Callie to take out to Moyie Springs to some friends.
Well they cancel and they receive their tax return and don’t know when they’ll be back from spending it.
Well here the thing Callie tries to help out about everyone and when she know longer can. People just plain shit on her.
The family she was going out and every so often he gets pain pills from her because he claims he has a bad back.
Well I don’t like to judge others.
But if she doesn’t have anything to give someone it seems like they want nothing to do with her.
In one way she like my brother in law Earl very little backbone. When and event happen I haven’t yet seen her so distraught.
When some screws her over least she doesn’t go over to someone else place and wine and bitch.
I know it not my place to stand up to her sister or anyone else, simple I know standing up to Eris I would come out short end of the stick.

Last two time Murphy Brother Earl made any contact with us he was distraught and he had his sister Faith call up or I should say after he did his distraught thing his sister then called up.
Murphy e-mail one couple and warn that Earl and Tadita has hid camera in their house. Well they did and I guess the truth hurts.
He called the other night and left and 8 second message on call wave. At first we almost didn’t recognize the little weasel voice.
“This is Earl, Sawyer and his friends took all the beer out of my fridge I’m pissed, and deal with it”.
I did get hold of Sawyer and told him he should return the beer and your Uncle Earl like to hide camera around the house and don’t know if he still does. We found one ages ago in the bathroom.
A little later Murphy got hold of his brother and told him we got hold of Sawyer and they are bring it back.
I was in the background yelling “He never said when it going to bring it back and Earl don’t fuckin twist things around”
I don’t know why Sawyer and his friends took the beer out of their fridge.
I also know Noah Sawyer 1st cousin was being a little Asshole and that had something to do with it but I’m clueless what exactly.
Confession time…One of my spiritual goal was once I forgave someone and I wasn’t going to expect them still not to have short coming.
I need to learn the fine line of having one fart beside you or shit on you.

Our Little Candy Store on a Side Street

I just finish shopping for my valentine swap partner and in all good intensions I was going to make a chocolate cinnamon mousse cake but I came down with the crude and had to continue working although now I’m feeling almost human.
When I do a swap I like to include something from my own home town we have a lot of lovely shops here in Bonners Ferry and all their owner and the people who runs the shops are such nice and warm people

This late morning I went down on Bonner Street one of the side street. Which there is no parking. There this lovely little gift shop and candy, all their candies are home made!
I decided to purchase my candy for my valentine and I couldn’t decide which ones to buy.
I took one of everything except the longer bars and the lollipops.
I’ve heard this little shop has very good cinnamon rolls and coffee for under $3.00. I’m thinking of calling my friend Quenella up. Her and I’ve been talking about getting some ladies together and going out some afternoon and having a snack. When I got home and thought “why not there.”
I don’t when or who all going but I know I’ll get a few more chocolates!
Honest time…Out of good will or little guilt I bought two of strawberry cream filled chocolates and took them home for Murphy and I do have.
We both agree they were outstanding in taste and texture.

I had to run a few unfun errand like go to the bank and get some money on the credit card Confession time…Opps I spent a little to much on the card So right now I thought the credit card show go into slumber for a while. So we can get it paid off and in control of the credit card.
I swung into grocer store to get a few items.
Murphy and I are the only one I think will be home tonight for dinner. Sawyer is pretty much moved out of the house.
Bart went down to Rathdrum Idaho.
So I’m clueless when he will be getting back.
As I started to look at the section of meats I thought of getting some crab and I even see if there was a possible steak to get.
All in all I end up getting some beef liver. Ok, I know most of you are going “yuk” I actual like fried liver and onions.
When I was growing up the only time I had fried liver and onions when my dad was out of town with the railroad.
So my mother and I would have fried liver and onion, carrots and some type of starch.

Share the Love

I felt like I was in the voters both on election day and something comes on the ballot and I’m reading and trying to figure out how to vote.
I know blogs awards are nothing like the real election for our government.
But I did my civic duty and vote in Share the love blog awards
I have to admit I was only filmier with one and five of the blogs I’ve bumped into in the pass. The rest of the blogs I was one bit filmier with. So I had to do some reading and studying before I cast my ballot.
The only area I didn’t choice is. Blogger you’d most like to meet, Best Commenter (I’m fairly clueless what a commenter is)
And Blog you’ll never stop reading. I didn’t think it would be fair for me to pick one in this area because I don’t know if I’d read any of these blogs on regular bases didn’t have time to real learn about these blogs.
The voting last from 10AM to 3PM, not sure of the dates I’m guessing the voting will end Thursday the 8th of Feb at 3PM Central time.

Stereotyping vs Political Correctness

Confession time...I’m one who isn’t big on stereotyping period but then it troubles me when things are to be political correctness
I want to leave on a comment on one of my coffee pals and the only way I can get think of putting the words down goes as following. “Have you thought of checking out stores that sells hippie stuff or where hippies shop”
I know other then hippies may or may not were these clothes.
If you got something to say why not call a spade a spade. If it quacks it most be a duck

Feeling time...it real gets my juices a boiling when people says or thinks like...
1. Gay people are child molesters.
2. People who draws any type of welfare are dirty and lazy.
3. People who doesn’t worship in Christianity religion are going to hell.
4. American want to much and is greedy
5. Mexican are hard workers.
I could go on and on with a list of stereotype statements but we all no their not true or false.
To me we seem more and more to put things in catagorize things on how the media or who we choose to believe in.
I guess we all have are certain mission in life. I have no desire to change on spiritual path or political ideologies. I’ve blogged about these areas before and will continue to.
My mission in life or blogs life.
I want to inform readers about how we categorizes and stereotype.
First I’ll go and confess mine...I prejudge Evangelical Christian as back stabbers and thinking their all so mighty.
Ok, I know all Evangelical Christain are not like this. Put once I hear or figure they are member or attends a Evangelical church.
I suspect them as “right down judging others and will back stab you when they can”

I know we all live under the same big dipper

Oh Spring, Oh Spring, When Are You Coming Back

I recently add anther happy person. I guess I enjoy reading blogs of people who are happy over 75% of the time; ok we all have our off days. If any of us said “we are happy a 100% of the time” I’d have to wonder what reality world you live in.
So on my side bar I add anther person gemmas Her pictures that she puts on her blog is grand and I believe some she does her self.

My dish clothes have seen better days. So I decided it was due time to replace them and went in to wal mart to get some new ones.
When I got home and tore of the card board wrapper and notice they were not dish clothes but dishtowels. I’m not low on dishtowels but yet I never heard of anyone having to many dishtowels.
Well I’ll be going back south toward Sandpoint, end of the week to get some things. I order anther from JC Pennies like anther bra

As I was in Walmart I decided to pick up a baby shower gift for Nicole baby shower that is Sunday the 11th.
I haven’t been in a baby department for years and I hardly went into one when the boys were babies. Because we didn’t have any money and their clothing came form thrift stores or hand me downs.
Honest…I just can’t picture paying some of the prices they charge for baby clothes or any of their items.
I asked Nicole Mother Alice what she wanted or could use. She told me diapers and I asked if she was going to use cloth and Alice said she wouldn’t do it.
You see Nicole and her husband Henry lives with Alice and she supports them. I don’t know what kind of work ethics he has, my friend Alice has a very fine work ethics.
I know they help her around the house by doing chores and they give her use of their WIC Check WIC is a wonderful program and it helps buy food but if I remember right I think I got WIC for a longer time.
I got Nicole package of pampers diapers after one woman who must had two in diapers, recommended the pampers. I used both cloth and disposables diapers and so did Alice with her kids.
I also got a bath towel with a hood. I had one or two of them and total thought the world of them.
I guess the only thing I wish I had when the boys were young was a swing. I guess when I become a grandma after my boys get a degree or have a little more experience on the outside world. I guess I’ll get my grandkids the baby swing

I’m soooooooo ready for spring a little bit of dirt is showing under the eves of the house.
Their one little rock around my purple and yellow flower bed poking it head out

{lease note I tried to post some other picture but I couldn't get them to down load

Smooth as Glass, so Far

I can’t believe so far I stayed on my schedule and it seems like the day is going fairly smoothly.
I made it to curves, got weighed and measured can’t really say that “ I was overly impressed by the numbers”.

I got a notice from my place of employment saying that my driver liaisons were coming due. In all honesty if my employer didn’t send me a letter I probley wouldn’t went down and had then renewed.
It cost $24.00 for 4 years
My only gripe my driver liaison picture doesn’t do me any Justus.

I send over my nominees over to every day mommy she is hosting Hidden Treasure 2007 blog awards for writing excellence.
It basically for blogs that are hidden, and may not get the acknowledgment they truly deserve.

I was just checking out share the love blog awards I’m waiting for the results now I vote last week sometime and I won’t know anything to after the 7th of February

February Full Moon

I got everyone e-mailed who there exchange person is for the ostara (springtime) scavenger hunt.
It was sure a learning experience.
There sure is a difference between hosting a blogger swap and being player in someone who host one.
The first, four e-mail I sent out for the scavenger hunt was at time frustrating but once I got a system down that worked for me. The remaining 5 went a lot smoother.
All in all I enjoyed hosting a scavenger hunt and I’ll be doing a Litha (summer scavenger hunt) But now I figure a few things I could do to make it run smoother.
A few people have asked me when to send out the package for the ostara scavenger hunt.
It real doesn’t matter as long as they will receive it before March 21st. around the 15th of March I will post a reminder in my blogg.

this morning I got a made my son Sawyer some breakfast before he headed out for work.
In the morning I had s fresh pot of coffee and he asked me if he could have one. I’m not a sugar drinker and unless I’m baking something I never thinking of having sugar around. I drink my coffee straight (black) and sometime I’ll put in a flavor creamer.
Murphy will sometime add a little sugar to his coffee and to me sugar will make it bitter.
Then when it comes to Sawyer he likes both cream and sugar in his an “amateur coffee drinker”.
It seem so strange that one of my little boys now drink coffee and making a pick up payment.

January Weather of 07 and Other Stuff

J f 07 been colder then January of 06. If memory calls me right they weren’t no snow on the ground last year and for this year we have about good 12 inches of the white stuff.
The highest temperature in January was on the 25th at 47.8 (8.8) B C
The coldest temperature in January was on the 11th at -3.6 (-16) B C
Average high for January was 29.0
Average low for January was 17.8
Murphy figures the metric temperature for me. It sounds a lot colder in metric.
I decide to get some picture around here all taken February 1st

Yesterday I went over and visit my friend Alice and like always she quite busy.
She makes meals for the mental ill. Every Thursday around here the mental ill and their friends and families of the mental ill get together on Thursdays evening for dinner That my friend Alice cooks for.
Her son Frank is what I would call retarded and actual he pretty neat person. When I was over their he told me he had 6 months of probation and we had complete his word
Sentence, and his essay. By the way he was real proud of his essay. Plus he got ½ of his community service down.
I’m total clueless what he did and I know better not
to ask because I know it would feed on him in a postive way.
I’d say he is between 10 and 12 years old mental and his legal age is 17.
Alice got her divorce paper written out and going to take them to Sandpoint to have someone look them over.
She found someone to serve Mirim, the divorce paper a non-bias party.
Opinion time..Mirim is nice guy but I thought she should of divorced him along time ago
Frank had a picture of a group of kids and our two boys are in the picture. I’d guess Sawyer around 4 and Bart around 2. Sawyer is one in purple sweat pants white t-shirt middle row far left and his brother Bart is in red and sort of purple next to him

I swiped this from two witches
Past life
I don't know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation. You were born somewhere in the territory of modern Ontario around the year 1675. Your profession was that of a dramatist, director, musician or bard.

Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
You always liked to travel and to investigate. You could have been a detective or a spy.

The lesson that you’re last past life brought to your present incarnation:
You should develop self-love and ability to implant hope into hearts of people. Ambition is not everything. True wealth is buried in your soul.

Do you remember now? Just like I don’t remember this life ask me what I did yesterday and I’d be clueless.

There still a little bit of time left to sign up for an scavenger hunt
I’ll be sending out notice sometime after 4 PM Pacific Time on Imbloc or Ground hog day.
Please e-mail me if you want in and your e-mail must have your address were the package is to sent to and your url to your blog.
