It Some Bittersweet Results


If you could please take moment and answer the question on my side bar. I know it not a fancy survey but I continue to run it thought the month of September.
Thank you



I know Saturated Fat is a bad fat but I’m not sure polyunsaturated and or monounsaturated is.
But now I see I’m putting to much animal fat in my body.
So I’m going to try not to eat beef or pork two days a week.
I’m think of sitting two days during the week like Tuesday and Saturday.



Let take it from the top
purple color represents Polyunsaturated Fat and I ate 13.4 grams.
Gold color represents Monounsaturated Fat and I ate 29.5 grams
Green color represents Saturated Fat and I ate 28.8 grams.
Actual these are fat calories



Now I notice my activity level needs something added to it. My main activity is cleaning either my home or someone else home.
I put in medium pace. I could break it down to every little thing but I just use a general rate.
Which works out at 3 calorie burn a minute.
Then I been doing exercise and I would guess it about 5 minute 3 times a week and that 8 calories a minute but the time is getting longer.
Then walking which is walking the dog and that’s the same as house cleaning.
I’m not sure what rate I walk but I do get in 3 or 4 times a week
I’m think about adding jump rope starting in September or some type of outdoor stuff soon it will be wet and cold and then I can jump rope.



We don’t own a weight scales so I was in someone bathroom and I got on there scales and I weight in at 200 pounds so I gain a pound.
Plus I redid 3 of my measurements
Well the good news I lost a half of inch off my waist.
Still good news I lost a inch off of my boobs
Now it still good news I lost half an inch off of my bi ceps.



On my sidebar I have link to my fitday journal.





My hubby says thank you for even the small every day things I do and it lightens my day

Sky Watch (Katka Clouds)



To see more of our sky or to be part of skywatch, Click here

I thought this time I would get some sky watch picture from Katka Mountain as I was visiting my friend Quenella Wednesday for her 61st birthday.
So I decided to bring my camera a long and get some photo from her place on Katka Mountain.
One way you would look it was all-dark, then look anther way the clouds would be all puffy and nice.
So every way one turn the sky was different




My friend Quenella thought a picture taken between the pines would be interesting.
I have to say for some reason I like the colors





This wind chime used to be in the back of there place but Quenelle decided to move it to her front porch.
It real had a nice sound to it.





It best not try to second guess the day before you. It’s always an adventure

Bridging the Gap ( ChangesThough Time)



This is my second round of Bridge in the gap and the 4th day of it.
Our hostess is Alice of I Was Born2Cree8





Things change for each of us at a certain pace. This is the old metal bridge that cross the kootenai river in Bonners Ferry.
Which was built in 1933.
Thinking back on the year. Neither my hubby nor I was even born.
Murphy dad Dewayne was 5 years old and living in Kearny Nebraska. Murphy mom Delores would have been 3 years old and unknown the place of resident then.
My mom Myra would have been 10 years old and living in Minnatare Nebraska. My dad Harold (Pete) would have been 29 years old and place of resident unknown.
Before the metal bridge there was an old wooden bridge built in 1910.
When Murphy dad family came to this area in 1936 the bridge and my mom family in 1937 it was the state of the art bridge.
It strange how things change at different time rate for each of us.
Murphy and I recall this bridge very well and it wasn’t double lane. But neither Sawyer or Bart every saw the bridge or rode in a car going over the bridge.






The present day bridge was built in 1980s The bridge was complete before either one of my sons was even born Sawyer in 1988 and Bart in 1991.
There no present sign of the old wooden bridge but there still part of the old metal bridge if you look to the left of the picture there is and old lamp still standing.
The present day bridge is four lane and the old metal one was a narrow 2 lane bridge that you still drove across safely but at more slower speed






Some thing seem to change at much slower pace this is one of the bridge on the deep creek loop and I still call it the old highway and it one time this was the main route in to Bonners ferry for those who lives south of town.
This bridge cross deep creek and I have never seen any changes on these bridge. I’m total clueless when this road or bridge was put in.
The bridge is narrow and they call it a one-lane bridge oh two cars can pass but when it comes to trucks only one at time.
Although at this time it not a main route into the town.
Like I say there no big or real present changes on deep creek loop or the bridges that cross the creek.
The old guard rail is same.



I think time is an individual thing on how we all look at it. I’ve seen changes going over the Kootenai River and no changes going on deep creek loop.
I bet if I talk to others who older then I would tell me of changes and history that I haven’t witness.



Everything happens for a purpose and it usual for the good

I Gave Two Reason Why I Won't Give It a Name.

I haven’t yet given it a name. I’m not sure why I don’t give it a name or something.
I can come up with two reasons why I don’t
1. If I call it a book of shadow I would be consider element of evil.
2. Then the any other term such as a Dairy or Journal I can’t or I won’t be put into any category.
Statement time…I believe free will is very important to each of us and that’s who and what makes us individuals
To read pass post on what to call it please Click here



I don’t know what day I decide to print off my blog Wish time…oh how I wish I started to print as I went but why cry over spilled milk.
So I bought 2 three-ring binders and started to put in my blog.
So I’ve called it “Peppylady Almost Prefect World” and volume one has 227 pages most of them my blog but there is a few pages that I did different then my regular blog more like scrap book pages one pages I did up which is one my favor poem by Robert Lewis Stevenson which is “My Shadow”
I didn’t reread the entire part of I got print it off but I did some reading in it. I learn and made mistakes in my life.
I reread the part I posted about Murphy Brother, Earl and his wife Tadita. And other posting as well. Feeling time…I still have some sadness towards how things come out, I still have a trust issue with them, and a very smidge angry issue with them.
The only suggestion I have for them is counseling and if they both or one of them decides to go I would say to be complete honest and not blame the other what went wrong.


I’ll eventually give this blogs to my boys but I'm not sure when. But I will know when it’s time to.


So I’m starting to print volume 2



Front of Volume one

Back of Volume one.

I find it very important to sometime just to shut up and listen to the sounds of nature

In the Know Accomplisment


Once again welcome to my In the know on the 25th of every month I do meme which I ask a question and there is no wrong or right answer.
It me just requesting knowledge



This week question is What have or haven’t you accomplished in your life
Please link back to this post and let me know if you got your in know up and I’ll come on over.
accomplishment



First of all I was going to make a list of the things I have done in my life but the things that I haven’t yet done would go on and on.
There so many things I want to do.
Plus I could list reason why I haven’t yet got to them. Some of the reason I would give it would be good reason or then others would be bunk.
Confession time…It seem hard to look at the list of things we done in our life because we feel there not large enough
Maybe if we all became be shots that we would feel like greatness has happen to us. I wonder if kings, presidents, and C.E.O feels like they are short on accomplishing there to do life list.
Like anyone I have things I like to accomplish it from simple task to major ones in my life some I know that it will take years and others will take minutes.
Sunday Morning I went and hung some clothes on the line. Honest time…You see I never look at that as a real accomplishment
One thing I don’t want to do is take the necessary steps to get to a major goal done. I know somethings in life we have to take it step by step to get it done.
But after the spirit once again woke me up again and some goals take time and one must do the small things to get it done.
We all might think goals are always hand on. But they are spiritual goals that will make us better.
Confession time..When I use to say prayer I would pray to god/dess to get even with people who I thought that did me wrong.
Now I pray for more loving things and kind things in life.



Next time in know will be Thursday the 25th of September and the in the know subject will be Mabon/Autumn tell us what your thought is and what going on in your area




Alice of “I Was Born 2 Cree8 is hosting a weekly photo challenge called Bridging the gap and of course it all explain over at her blog.
I’m a day late and dollar short but here a link to the 1st day and if that don’t do it. I’ll bet if you just head over to her Main blog you’ll get results



Sometime in our life we cross a bridge that we don’t see sometime it bad or good but there time in all of us when we across the unseen bridge of life.
Then years later we don’t recall the exact moment when we across that bridge but we looked back in our life and recall going over that bridge of an aw ha moment



Actual today Murphy and I went up on placer creek to gather some flat stone to make a patio off of our slider.



Once you get down in dried up creek bed then you can see it’s a culvert bridge but from the road you can’t see it just like the bridge of life you go over it and never see then one day you look back and think when did I cross that bridge in my life



We had beautiful drive up to get rocks and each trip becomes easier because we find easier ways to do it

Got Things To Do Today.




You Are Fencing



You're competitive but not brutally so. You compete to make yourself better.

You find having an opponent to be challenging and rewarding.

You are fierce when you're in a competition, but you don't wish your rivals any real harm.

Doing Good It Doesn't Matter How Small



Well I had plans Friday to get place done it wasn’t all that bad but I want to go and get my time card but I didn’t get it Thursday.
I was beat and I would come in Friday and get it.
Well I end staying longer then I plan at Donna. Thought time…It would be easier for me to quite this job. I actual like her and the homecare company isn’t all that bad.
But I don’t care for this type of work

I get up so early in the morning and I did a few more items around the place but I was beat once again




So today I’m doing some of the items I plan to do on Friday I have a list, which I call my “weekly cleaning” So for the first round I sat the timer for 31 minutes. Did up the dishes. Then did 3 items off of my list that was clean the stove and oven, and then also I cleaned the kitchen floor, and vacuumed which include moving furniture around.
Then I went to bank deposited my paycheck.
Went into the groceries store and got few items.




I try to Tithe a part of my paycheck to some worthy cause that help others.
This time when I was in the store they had a school supplies table, which, had per made up bags for $5.00 each so I got 3 bags and donated them.
I don’t give to tithe to church not saying I don’t put money in the offering.
Honest time… I’ve seen some church not help out the needy and our judgmental
I think we’re on this earth to do god/dess work by helping out.



Last night for dinner I made up some miso soup well I did my own thing and it came out real well.
I like to try some more recipes using miso paste
I been walking Rex three days a week and today I put in extra short walk down the first hill on the pleasant valley loop.
I’m still doing fitday and the link is on my side bar.
Closer to end of the month I will post one of the graphs on my blog. I’m thinking about doing it on fats.





The other day I got our first Christmas Catalog and of course there a lot of things I want but what I want and can get is two different things.
But I know I’ll be getting a few items out of them



I went to one yard sale real nothing at that one then I went to an estate sale which my friend Alice cleans for.
Anything I was interested in she was taking it with her when she moved.




I been get my life into some type of ritual not saying I don’t have those days but I’ve been please on how my ritual been working out



Yes it almost the 25th of the month I do my thing call In the know I would like every one that’s who wants to post on things you have or haven’t accomplished in your life.

A Nice Ideal. But...

My friend Quenella called me this morning and we had a wonderful chat we talk about we where doing for our day we both our baking some treats then of course we talk about the well needed rain we got.


She brought up having something of spiritual service. Statement time…her and I usual agree on spiritual matters but like anyone else we don’t see eye to eye 100% of the time but we respect other believes doesn’t matter what.
Quenella when she lived on the coast they attended a Spiritualism service
One of there prayer goes as follow


Prayer for Spiritual Healing


I ask the great unseen healing force
to remove all obstructions from my mind and body
and to restore me to perfect health.


I ask this in all sincerity and honesty
and I will do my part.


I ask this great unseen healing force
to help both present and absent ones
who are in need of help
and to restore them to perfect health.


I put my trust in the love and power of God.


She ran her ideal by me which is have a simple service of tapes for music. Opinion time…I don’t think any of has any music talant
An open prayer
A reading or sharing time. Which could be anything it could come from any medium one chooses.
Not necessary a faith base one
Prayer time, healing time or even mediation
Offering which would be donated to our local food bank.
Then closing.
Then goodies and fellowship


I brought up a few of my concern and feed back. I told her I wasn’t interesting in any type of religious study it doesn’t matter what text the study or discuss from.
They could use the bible, quran , or studying an discussing tea leaves reading. Not saying if something is brought up I don’t have problem with that.
But I seen faith base study group that meets and if you don’t see eye to eye to base of that group philosophy it seem the out come is hard feeling.
I understand part of spiritualism is seances. Opinion time...I'm not real keen or this I have a great respect for spirits and don't want to call over in unfriendly spirits.
I listen and let the spirit guide me. Statement time...I believe in free will and it your responsibility for action in your life including thought from your soul.
I don’t know where we will find people to attend our little spiritual fellowship in our area. It something you don’t want to put in local paper or post around town. Simple term some people would want to burn the witch at the steak. The only person I know would be interested in this would be our friend Murphyette

ABC Wednesday E is for...

E Is For….

Egg
Hard boil that is.
Everyone has told me that I make great hard boil eggs.
So here my way of doing hard boil eggs
Place the egg or eggs in pan of cold water make sure they’re well covered.
Add about 1 Tablespoon of salt to the water.
Turn the burner on high and soon as the water comes to a good boil.
Turn on the timer for 10 minute and keep the water boiling.
As soon as the timer goes off right way drain water and raise with very cold tap water.
You will have to do this several times you want your eggs to cool down as fast as you can.
Your eggs will be easy to peel and the yokes will be done but yet on soft fluffy side



To be part of ABC Wednesday please stop in at the ABC Wednesday



We’re getting some well needed rain

Heads or Tail One Year) + Tackle it Tuesday (On the Clock)


Some how I keep forgetting to do Heads or Tail and this week theme is Heads or Tail and it been around for one year.
Next week theme will be “Anyway to get from here to there”



I’m one who likes to do Heads or Tail and sometime the themes real stumps me but that’s ok I like to think out side of the box and I like hearing or reading other points of view.
It makes me a more worldly person.
I wonder how Skittle came up with the name of heads of tail I know we use different part of our brains to get a long in life.
But what does tail have to do with thinking.
I guess one of the first things that come to my mine is sitting on ones rump.
Does one think better sitting down?
I believe I don’t.
Before I close I like to thank Skittles for starting Heads or Tails



It been so long since I did Tackle It Tuesday with life being nuts Confession time…Part of the time I make my own problems
I never could get any real projects done it seem that my life goes in circle between family, home, and work.
It a never ending battle and when I start a project I run out of time.
I recall my parents saying, “There never enough time in the day”
So I printed out my list of a weekly cleaning which I mean to do once a week and Confession time…Which I haven’t and it looks like it going to be broken down in two days



This is my first round I sat the timer on the stove for 25 minutes and start to clean the stove and the corner counter.



Look at the crap spilt of the stove. Yes I do a quick wipe but I’m beat from work.
Those are dishes that need to be put a way and the small amount of clutter.

After 25 minute I scrubbed the stove with basic H got the dishes put a way and clean every inch of the counter plus I clean the toaster which belongs there.



Now for day two
I have to admit I was moving pretty slow…but the last thing I did was mop the main bathroom floor.
The bathroom floors don’t get all that dirty compare to my dinning and living room.



Dirty Bathroom Floor.

Clean Bathroom Floor

Once I get a room cleaned I like to burn some incense. Statement time…I burn incense for two reason is to get rid of any negative energy left in the room and also to welcome warm friendly spirits




When I took my walk yesterday with Rex down by the ball park I stop and sat a few moments on the picnic bench and just listen to bird sing, they were delightful sound

August Full Moon.


Last night I did a ritual which consist of a prayer, communion and look into my enter self.
I did my own thing.



Well there two things I do which is really not all that nice and one of them is I tend to blame Murphy for my ceramic shop not coming as I think it should.
But I need to take some of the responsible for it to happen.
I didn't yell or even verbal accuse him of it put in my mind and heart I would blame him.
To me that just as the same thing of verbal accusing him.
Confession time… I could do more toward getting a shop going Slow and study get things accomplished.
But for some reason I want to just paint the pieces and put them on market.
But like any business they’re other stuff to do and if I took a least 4 hours a week and did things toward my shop it would help.



Thinking time…There should be 6 season during the year which would last 2 months instead of the 3 months as it does now
It seem like in August which is still summer. I get lazy and let things in yard and garden dry up and go to the weeds.
Like I need or think I need a change in summer.
I even get lazy when it comes to the inside of my home.
I don’t know if Mr Sun wipes me out



My prayer and communion part went hand in hand.
I ask all the evil to take a hike and those who need evil to leave from them to also take a hike.
Paid respect to father sky and ask him to look over his children.
Paid respect to Mother sky and ask her to keep us in balance.
Look into my heart and show general love toward the lord and lady.
Now I had a rye cracker and as I spoke not sure what I said some was what I was thankful for, confession, request, and some other things I need to have fellowship with god/dess good spirits.
Then at the very end I took about once of sake and as I was drinking it ask to be blessed

Photo Hunt (Colorful)



Welcome to photo hunt which is every Saturday and our host gives us a topic and this time it is Colorful and next week topic is “wrinkled” For the rules of the hunt please Click here

I had two other ideal for color one I knew I could take a picture of but the other one I couldn’t come up with.
How does one take a picture of colorful person personality?
I have a colorful skirt, which I don’t even know if it fits.
One day I was taking Rex for his walk I notice at the south end of Bonners Ferry they had a new sign up and the colors of it sure pop in my head.
So I pulled in and got the camera and took a shot of it.
Anyhow the dog thought I lost my marbles.
I thought the color would be more brilliant then what is shown.
It had every color in the rainbow.
Few days after I took the picture of it they turn on lights and it one of a kind here in the Bonners Ferry area





I got a break from doing cooking and clean up afterwards we as in Murphy, Bart and I yesterday evening went out and had a Pizza

Today Is Thursday, April 25, 2024: This Is What Happened.

I've posted my artist trading cards and put them up for trade. I'm going to take a slight break from making artist trading cards. I...
