RV Raffle Dream.


I haven’t had a dream for a long time but this one is strange anyhow most of my dreams are strange.


Some how I donated some cookies and our RV to a fund raiser. We don’t even own a RV.
I was in a thrift store looking browsing around in general and some lady said all your cookies didn’t go and ask if I want them back.
Well she said your RV got $200 for raffle and it on way to North Carolina. I left the thrift store and went to a lawyer to see how I could get back the RV before my husband found out.
As I was standing in lobby at the lawyer office I notice a greenish gray small print love seat type couch and big desk with a big chair.
Then the alarm woke me up



I went over to a dream dictionary and put in the key words and still confused

I need a change in my life I feel but I don’t want to haste in to anything

Is Your Home Toxic


Part of my job at work is to take Rex out for a walk which I enjoy and get some benefit out of it…you know the exercise.
This time we head out behind the forest service building were some farmer is growing some grain crop.
Not sure what it is.
But we walk 12 power pole and back. Not sure the distant we went but it took about half hour to do



The other day I receive an e-mail on a quiz for toxic home and some how I deleted our something like that.
But I recalled the quiz was part of Real Age
So I decided to take quiz for Is Your Home Poisoning You
Find out whether disease-causing agents are lurking behind your front door



I did the quiz and there 4 question and I got 3 right the one I got wrong was the question ofWhich of the following household products is likely to contain VOCs?
I thought it was only in dry cleaning clothing.
But the home we live in was built in 73 or so and not sure what they used for building material. I know they uses 2by 6 for the framing.
Murphy and I did quite a bit of work around here to be more energy saving, friendly toward the environment and healthier.
I use basic Basic H and I don’t have problems with this. No asthma.
I feel it does a good job of cleaning plus it does quite a bit

Sore All Over and My Brain Had a Fart In It


All day my body ache and I move like a old lady. I have no ideal why my bones and muscle ached.
Plus my brain was dead as a doornail.
I iron some stuff for Donna today. I only use an iron once since I have been married I iron a blue shirt for Murphy and put in all the creases.



We went and got the pick up and Murphy was thinking it would cost more only $180 some bucks and I got a bill for insurance for the Hyundai which Sawyer bought from his brother Bart.
Which was $149.10 and he good for it.



During dinner Murphy and I was at the dinning table eating dinner and we finish I turn the TV back around as I was spinning it there was this popping sound and spark.
When their popping sound and spark comes out of something do with electrical it sort of worries me.
I told Murphy about it and he took a look at it and it was the cord was becoming thin and he fixed it

Got To Get Out Of This Rut.



Yesterday I struggle with life in general I posted about how I want to go back in to ceramic but the way my life is now I feel like I’m not making in real head way towards it and it makes me angry and depress.
I know I can’t real work toward ceramic that much until Bart is out of the house but I’m not trying to rush him away.
But now I’m worried about when the time comes I’ll still be doing home care and I feel afraid. Don’t get me wrong I like Donna who I take care of but it the job



I did some praying on my angry and disappointment on how my ceramic shop is progressing. I know there is things I can do better but not sure if I have the skill and I can’t control everything in the galaxy.
So if anyone got amount could you say a positive prayer, light a candle, do a little positive magick or positive energy my way.



Yesterday Murphy and I went up to Earl and Quenella. To visit and it was an ok time to be quiet Honest time… I wasn’t in mood for visiting she showed me a print out of her web site and I told her I thought having picture on all of her pages will help her business.
But I told her I could see the price she is charging to the number of guess will be a hitch that she needs to over come.
She wants to charge I believe is $20,000 and have up to 30 quests.
But she is offering a lot but like I said it her price



Murphy told them and try to make plans to get rocks with them on plaser creek and he forget that both of them aren’t in shape to get the rocks.
Both Murphy and I our in better shape.
Little they eat I would be starving but there less active then he are.
Confession time.. I eat to much crap and don’t get enough exercise

Well this morning I got a load of Bart laundry and I told him he could hang his clothes on the line and ask me what wrong with the dryer and I said it cost money.
So he went out and hung his clothes on the line.
I did dishes.
I didn’t do dinner dishes last night it to hot to do much but they been a nice breeze blowing in place.
Murphy went to work we are short on vehicle now. Hubby took in his Toyota to get new fuel injector to put on and it won’t be ready until Monday and I need to work that day so he working today instead of Monday



I’m sorry that I did a boo boo on yesterday posting. I didn’t add this link to the other site for Olive

What Do and Don't You Like about the Town You live in ( In the Know)

Welcome to Need to Know and on the 25th or shortly before I’ll be posting a question.
Please answered it on your own blog and remember to link back to this posting so others can join in.
Leave a comment so I can come and visit



What do and don’t you like about your area you live in?



As you all who our my regular who visit my blog I live in very Northern part of the Idaho panhandle. North of Naples, yes we have a Naples here, which I would guess the population of down town Naples is about 50 people.
The next town is Bonners Ferry a population a little over 2,000



First I’ll tell you what I don’t like about my area I live in.
Jobs… Idaho pay isn’t worth bragging about we are a right to work state. I do homecare and for the 5 northern county I’m paid a good wage a little over $12.00 an hour plus I get twice a year profit sharing from the company, which is good.
But most job don’t pay that unless you’re a teacher or have some degree and that doesn’t always the answer and lot of those job isn’t around here.
My hubby works in tree nursery and most of them pay between $7.00 and $12.00 an hour.


Rent and Housing is high here on our wages if I didn’t inherited this house we sure couldn’t buy it


Some time people charges out rages stuff for the wages here. One of the café here charges $25 for a customer order pie and they will get it out when they can.
Plus to have your car detail it cost $225 dollars


Politics around here rubs me the wrong way. Idaho is very conservative state and our President Dubya won by close to 98% of the vote and I bet McCain will care Idaho but not like Dubya


There some people out there is more open minded about faith. I haven’t met them yet. So I go to the gardenia center for there Sunday service which is the next county down



I’m not sure if this is a like or dislike one. At time I real would like a box store here when we need certain item and have to go to Sandpoint wal-mart and get it.
But then when I don’t need and item sure glad we have no big box stores in our area.
To me they seem cold and in personable



I live in a very friendly town which got an award for people here a very kind hearted don’t get in to your personal life but there ready to give a helping hand out.



Everyone in our town has a library card and for a little town I would say it holds up to some higher populated area



Our down town got some neat little shops and they are in old brick building which is kept up



We have some great place to hike in Mountains and I been up to quite a few mountain lakes.
North Idaho got the kootenai valley and when I look out my living room window I see Selkirk range and Roman nose.
Then I look out my kitchen window I see Parcell Mountain range and Black Mountain peak



I like the weather we have the four season. We have snow in winter and some years we have more then other.
The summer sometime gets pretty hot, nothing like the Southwest
But it dry heat here I’m not a big fan of humid weather





Thank you for stopping by and those who wishes to be part of “In the know” please put your answer on your blog and leave a comment at this posting which there is a link above.
Please tell your blogger friends about it
August 25 will be the next time for “In the Know” and question is
What have and haven’t you accomplished I’ll be doing posting a reminder on my blog on the 22nd of August

Beer Can Mystery



It start out on slow pace day. Murphy needs to get up at 3:00 in the morning so he can get out the fields before the sun starts to beat down on the earth.
So I get up and get the coffee going and head back to bed.
Bart then gets up at 4:00 and so he can be to work at 5:00.
But right before Bart leaves I want him to wake me up so I can get a few things done before.
But for some reason I can’t get up, I don’t know if it getting up at 3:00 AM for about a minute to get the coffee on is doing something to my sleep.
Then a little about quarter after five I got up and start to wonder how I was going to get ready for work and dishes done and two other chores.
Well I got the dishes done, living room vacuumed and the dinning/kitchen swept.



Well I forgot my asthma inhaler and I work long as I could but around 11 or after I start to have trouble and decided to go home and get it.
So Daisy was outside ready to greet me and have me throw the ball for me.
But I just ran in real quick and grab my inhaler.
Ziggy the cat went out and Daisy stayed in.
Nothing seem to be out of place



Our Toyota that Murphy drives been having some trouble with the fuel injector and he drop off the pick up and I went up and got him
There was a good sale on chicken .79¢ a pound at Safeway and I thought I would grab a few but they were out and got a rain check.
Pick up few items and went home



I start to pack in things and put the milk in fridge and notice and open can Budweiser beer in fridge and I start to go though possible people who drank Bud and couldn’t come up with anyone.
So I told Murphy about it and I found a strange note and didn’t recognize the hand writing and doodling. I knew it wasn’t any one my boys.


I called Bart to see if he new what was going on and of course he didn’t pick up his cell phone.
I wasn’t sure if he was at work or not.
In a short time he called me back and told me he gave one of the Clifty View worker a ride home and they left part of a can of beer in our fridge, strange huh

Head or Tail (Sit or Stand)


On Tuesday I usual do a meme called Heads or Tail which is hosted by Skittle
This week theme is “Head or Tail Sit or Stand Next week theme will be “Doctor”



I was going to take picture of all my items that one may sit on but my batteries went dead in my camera so I came up with something else quickly



Here is a list of things I did so far this morning which I had to stand.
1. Dishes which there wasn’t many.

7. Cooked Murphy some breakfast
8. Took a walk with Daisy to the next drive way pass the blueish grey house.
9. Water the back yard and the trees



Here is what I did sitting so far this morning
1. Pray and meditate…I prayed about our world leaders and future world leaders, asking for help to become healthier and my ceramic shop, then I ask those who our physical or mental ill that they will be healed, and then I sit a short time breathing and clearing the clutter in my mind. I always end my prayer with “I am at peace” “I love” and the “world is good”
2. Balance the checkbook and we’re not broke.
3. Eat Breakfast
4. Drank Coffee
5. Watch the news



I’m doing a thing on my blog on the 25 of every month called need to know and I’ll ask a simple question.
So on the 25th could you post your answer on your blog and leave a comment that day back on my blog Peppylady

Huckleberry Day


I know it getting late in the day but it still Sunday here in North Idaho.
So that means it Green Thumb Sunday and we talk about gardening or nature.
Well this time mine leans more toward nature side.
Feverish thoughts blog is the one who puts on green thumb Sunday



Murphy and I got up at 4:30 this morning to go Huckleberry picking before the heat came



Our first place we went up the Moyie River Road towards Backside of Dawson ridge. It was hit and miss but nothing steep



Then we head toward the Hole in wall area of the Moyie River. Murphy thought the last skid trail would have berries but the one before had the berries and it was all flat still not great picking.

But we thought we could the next turn off was anther way down to the river but it dead end with step hill side and few trees for road barrier.
But I thought it was a great place to take a picture of the Moyie River.




Then we head towards placer creek and at first we thought we was going to bat zero and I decided to hike up the hill toward the birch tree and see if there was any between the road and tree.
There was some and I called down to Murphy and said right before the tamrack to the left there was some and he got them.
But little later on he head over the hill on the right and start to pick in that area.
So I also went in that area and had to follow his voice and very quickly found him. They were quite a few berries but on the small side.
The berries were located on fairly steep hillside full of brush.
I was wondering how soon I was going to miss step and go tumbling down the hill.
I was thinking oh I wouldn’t do any thing like that unless my bucket was full.



Murphy went down a head of me and the creek was dry bed and he said there looked like some bluish slate in the creek bed and I looked down and saw some pieces and finish picking that bush.
Took my huckleberries and dump them in box and went back to the creek bed.
Well I don’t recall the number we haul up.
But I know there were a few heavy one that we took up the hill.
One of them was fairly heavy and I thought I was going to pass out and I had to sit down and breathe deeply.
We thought some rope with a pulley might me the ticket next time

photo Hunt (What is that)


I haven’t played photo hunt for a couple of weeks now. I’ve looked at a few photos.
But time I thought about it anyhow it was toward the end of the week and just couldn’t come up with anything.
This time I start to plan more towards the beginning of the week.
Well as always I like to “thanks Ms Chick for doing the hunt



This week theme is WHAT IS THAT? and next week theme will be hanging.




Donna who I take care got some unusual cooking items and unusual food but in all honesty there all great.
Recently we been purging her items and she owns a Japanese Lunch Box. I’ve never seen one of these but it was different layers and you place your food in each you want to take with you.
I’m not sure if I’m supposed to say what it is. But I thought it was cool





Last dinner I made some Minestrone type of soup by cleaning out the fridge. I first made a potassium broth although I didn’t add any potato to mine but I saved ends and pieces of peeling to my vegetable and place them in a Tupperware like container.
When I’m ready I pot them in soup pot and just cover with water and let them simmer strongly which on my stove is about a 3 for an hour and remove vegetable.
Then for my minestrone soup I did a clean out from the fridge. I had a fourth of bag in freezer.
Chopped up a green onion and small half of leek.
Cooked up some ground beef that we had from the night before and went into the basement pantry and got can of kidney beans and add to it
I put in Kombu and that was dinner

Sky Watch Friday (Friendly Clouds)



It Friday and I’m up for little sky watching. Wiggers is our host for this meme but take note it move to Skyley
Still all are great shots of our sky from many different place in world





As many know I do home care and one my chores for my job is to take Donnas’ dog Rex for a walk and one of the places we go is down to ball park area.
Lot of interesting plants and birds but the day I took the camera I saw no birds and I couldn’t spend hours down there waiting for some bird that may pop into view.
On our walk we were walking south toward the Kootenai river and I notice toward the South East there sat in sky some smaller clouds that looks so “friendly”

Do Not Know What To Believe.


Every heard a rumor. Well I think we all have. There been several rumor floating about what kind of store is coming to Sandpoint.

Let see the one I heard a while ago that Fred Myers was going to put in a store were the old saw mill was and that mill been down for while and nothing going in as far as I can see.
Then I heard the dip area, as your heading toward Home Depot and Wal Mart was possible for few stores.
One I’m going to smash pretty well I heard that Trader Joe when I was in basement of the gardenia center at the social hour. I was talking to someone from area and they just got back from Tacoma and they stop in at one and ask about one going into Sandpoint they told her they would do Spokane or Courd’Alene before Sandpoint, but nothing sat in stone.
Then I heard that huckleberries was coming to Sandpoint.
Then I heard Costco was coming to Sandpoint and my son Bart heard they bought the property.
So I decided to do a search in google blog seach called costo coming to Sandpoint Idaho and at time of search there only one posted and nothing to do with the subject at hand.
So like I said these are rumor true or not true… I Do Not Know

It a Healing Garden

I kept wanting to post about last Sunday but for some reason something came up or I was just to beat to do it


Last Sunday Murphy and I to sandpoint and to do some shopping and we went to the Sunday Service at the Gardenia center.
It one the time I wish I took a note pad and pen with me. It was fairly good service. In nut shell it was about having god/dess in our daily life.
One who spoke was more of elderly woman and the first time she spoke. Opinion time…I didn’t think she did as well but her way of coming across came a long ways
Both of read from the bible and only two of the scriptures I can recall is Psalms 47 Question time…I don’t understand why anyone want to love any god/dess who we need to fear or subdue us? I’m looking at verse 2 and 3.
I need a god/dess to love and to guide me.
The other one was from Psalm 121 I feel this verse is more loving and friendly god/dess.
I like the last verse which is 8


Well before we went to Sunday Service I took Murphy over to healing garden in Sandpoint which I thought was a beautiful place to just to be.
Well he just walk though at fairly fast pace and didn’t take it in.
Well here some picture I got…

Heads or Tail (Joke)

This week theme for Heads or Tail is head and the subject matter is Joke next week theme will be “Sit or Stand.
For more info on heads or tails please visit the host of Heads or Tails



There two shows I like to watch was the The Red Skelton Show and The Lucy Show When I was younger I had a bed time but on Monday which these two shows was on.
I had to have my teeth brushed and my jimmies on. I would wrap up in a blanket and my mom would make me some hot chocolate and stayed up and watch these shows and laugh.



I like to share some lines from “Red Skelton or some of his quotes

Well, I guess you might say that Freddie the Freeloader is a little bit of you, and a little bit of me, a little bit of all of us, you know.
He’s found out what love means. He knows the value of time. He knows that time is a glutton. We say we don’t have time to do this or do that. There’s plenty of time. The trick is to apply it. The greatest disease in the world today is procrastination.

“I only come to life when there are people watching."



Now something for the Lucy fans

"I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste."

"I'm happy that I have brought laughter because I have been shown by many the value of it in so many lives, in so many ways."

Want To Do More But Time Wouldn't Let Me

I had plans to blog about my day but I got busy and didn’t get around to.
But I’ll tell you I bought two bra and it makes me depress because I have such hard time finding something that will fit.





Your Gemstone Says...



You are simply joyful. You find it easy to have peace of mind.

You tend to think positive thoughts. It's easy to control where your mind goes.

You have great mental powers and self discipline.

You are able to dream big. You definitely aren't afraid of failure.


I add a new section on my side bar called Personal Improvements. At this time I only got some item listed called my Fit day Journal I’m always ready for gentle cheer

Little Here and There.

Lot time on the weekend I go out yard selling. I find great bargain. Plus most of my home is done in early yard sale.

I bought this hat and anther one but not sure where. As you can see I hung it next to my cherub picture which cost me $3.00
I got the hat for .50¢. Plus I picked a one done in purples but not sure were I need to put it.
Sorry, I took several picture of my cherub picture and for some unknown reason I couldn’t get anything worth wild.




I bought this cow picture a yard sale in the Fall Creek area. I think I only paid a $1.00 for it.



Hung it below my calendar.



I been looking for some larger pieces to add to my home. A buffet or china buffet combo, which would go in the dinning area.
Then for living room I would like a narrow taller hutch for my dishes



Murphy and I pulled out a tree and extended the garden spot. For some reason he thinks the economy is going to hell in hen basket.
Opinion time…I don’t think the economy is all that stable he worried about Israel and Iran real starting something up.
I think there evenly as guilty as the other. Some say the Muslins or the Arabs main goal is to kill the Jewish people.
Then the Jewish faith also goes around killing too. Plus sometime I think there the first one to throw rocks.
The only thing that our current President Dubya ought to be put on trial for war crimes

Sky Watch Friday (Wind)+ Friday Feast


On Friday I do a meme called Sky watch Friday which is hosted by a blog called Wiggers World



The weather went from clear to a major wind storm that came blowing thought yesterday.
Our large poplar tree in front sure bend and swayed in the wind. So I went and got some picture of top of the trees.
It was reported that in town of Bonners Ferry there was gust of 54 miles an hour.
I have niece who lives in Moyie Spring, which is East of Bonners Ferry that the skirting around her trailer blew off.
I understood there are some fires started out there yesterday and the highway in that area had to be close down.



When I got up in the morning the sky didn’t have a cloud in a mid morning they started to devolved and just kept getting bigger though out the day.
So to me this cloud form looks like a little doggie



I decided to do an extra meme called Friday Feast

Appetizer


When was the last time you had your hair cut/trimmed?
I would guess about 2 months ago


Soup
Name one thing you miss about being a child.
around with my arm out and thinking that I was an air plane and I thought if I ran fast enough I would take off


Salad
Pick one: butter, margarine, olive oil.
Butter


Main Course
If you could learn another language, which one would you pick, and why?
French mainly because I have French in me from my dad side.


Dessert

Finish this sentence: In 5 years I expect to be… not doing home care and doing my crafts mainly ceramics.

Today Is Thursday, April 18, 2024: This Is What Happened
