Your On the Doyle Also

Some time people say one thing and then turn around says anther thing. As I was at work doing the mini lights on the tree behind the lazy boy chair. My client received a call from one of her friend who seem to have some real problem. But my post isn't on their troubles

Both of them get help from tax payer social program. But of carouse I only could hear one side of the conversation. I could hear her talking about Obama health care. And this will lead to mass abortion. Homosexual running rampage though out the county. To her this bill is the start of Ah-Ha wrath pond us. Plus she up set of the happening in Israel

She uses 5 of the social programs which the tax payers fund. One is SSI for her disability, two she lives in a senior and disable apartments which is part of HUD, three she receives her medical and dental paid by med caid, four every year she sign up for energy assents, and the fifth thing she gets food stamps which helps her on her food. Statement she pretty well don't abuse these program Wouldn't one think if one thing is wrong in a certain category wouldn't the rest be wrong. It like saying someone who drinks a union beer compare someone who does drink a non union beer is more or less right or wrong then the other.

her friend is a disability vet who gets assents from the tax payers

I believe we need need a safety net because at this point I don't see the private or Churches real not doing much of any thing. But even at this time our social programs don't address the root of the problems why these people need assistant. It should be ask why are these people and once that established then set goal to get them off it or burden some of there need on social programs. Statement time...It total impossible to get every single person off of a type of welfare But if you even got let say 10% using social safety net by 5% it would be a big help for them and the tax payers.

My client tends to get her news from the mega preacher what ever they say is the entire truth. She even believes all of these Christan profits. They do have some strong points but I don't take all they say hook line and sinker

Gilman Witherell

Resently I start work on some of my Genealogy after I saw on PBS face of America and this show intrigic me on how we are all connected in some way or anther. Some closer and other not so close.

I found this wonderful site on Cass County MIchigan history thats where my 2 Great Grand father Gilman left New Hampshire, With his wife Mary Ann Simpson and first born George Head to Michigan in 1833. He was a copper maker by trade but I believe he farm section of land number #35 in the township of pokagan Michigan.

As I look through records I'm trying to figure out when and how Gilman and Mary Ann Sibling may arrive in Michigan. I notice that their is a J Simpson that owen some land near Gilman and Mary Ann she has a brother James Simpson. By an old family bible there list a Thodore Witherell and by old record that he and Gilman Witherell where brothers.

But my paternal Grand mother Elsie Miller (My fathers Mother) I'm trying to find info on her parents Theodore Miller and Sarah Keyport. I know Sarah was possibly born in Chiago Ill and died in Pokagon Michigan in 1926 on the 25th of April. I know at the turn of 1900 they operated a boarding house in Jackson Michigan thats where my Grand father Clarance met his wife Elsie. But they where shortly were divorce. It hard to find out anything with a comon surname such as Miller.

It Amazing What a Hamilton Will Do

I heard "ah-ha" and it told me to Tithe locally. I don't attend a local place of worship. I do attend the Gardenia center every so often. I do put something in the collection basket when it goes by.

I knew I need to follow this "Ah-Ha" but I wasn't sure what I need to. It was so clear to tithe locally. So in short time it came to me. "But a $10 bill in envelope and mail it out each week to a boundary county resident". I ask my self "who".

I had trouble figuring out who. Confession time...everytime I thought of an ideal who I might want to give a ten spot to. I would come up with reason why they shouldn't get it. Like.....
1. Oh they'll do something stupid with it.
2. They real don't need it.
3. When the ideal to send it to the H.U.D housing. I would think "Oh lot of them all ready get some type of help and their so many people here out of work. Confession time...Like I haven't been a fool with my money

So at first I just address each of the envelope as "Resident of and put P.O Box. Or open our local phone book and just start to go down the listing and find a complete address and sent to Resident of that address. I felt that I need to set of HUD apartmarts and as you going into Bonners Ferry the first one is some senior and disabled aptartment on Eisenhower.

Well my client Murphette lives there now and today she receive her $10 bucks. I hope I kept a straight face. See I wrap the money in a plain piece of paper with no writing or return address.
She thought it was fake held it up to light and some how it was prank. Really examine it and ask why would any or who would just sent her cash out blue. I said maybe it's a blessing

Question time...I wonder what the others thought when they got the $10

I never thought as my self as very judgemental type. But this little assignment sure gave me a good look at my self. The excuses I would give and I to was guilty of all. Statement time...I been actual having fun just giving away cash

Bare As Bone First Day of Spring

I don't know why they set the date of March 20th or so for spring. I had one minture Iris blooming but not anymore. Actual little is going on with the gardens. One can see snow on top of the mountains. The trees are in bud but it sure don't like like there going to exploed any time with clothing of leaves.

I've been slowly get my blog printed out using blog to print. I order from Winter of 06 to Spring of 07. Each one of my boys will get one. Sure isn't a cheap thing to do. So I need to pace it out. This time both books cost me little over $100. Put it on the credit card. I should have this charge paid down in about two or four payment. I been please so far what I got

Now back to talking of spring. I wash the blankets off of our bed. Sence I became older the heat bothers me more. I took off the bed spread or any type of covering. Except sheets and two blankets and lot of the time I have part of my body uncovered.

I wanted Irish stew or lamb stew but because of the cost of lamb meat. We desided agaist it so we're having spaghetti. I'm cooking down a quart of tommaote we can last summer. Plus we add some lobster mushroom we picked and froze. Plus we will be having fresh green salad. Not sure what type of dressing but I like ume plum vingar and olive oil on mine.

The other day I made a green somothie it was lite and very refreshing. Statement time....I don't measure very much
1 small can of pineapples with juice
1/2 cup of broccoli
1/2 cucumber
1 apple
1 large stalk of celery.
Place in blender and blend may add water for desire thickness. This makes about 20 ounces

Talking about health I went and visit with my sister in law Faith for a short time. She also conjested in chest. I thought I was bad but she even using some type of breathing machine. Well also my brother in law Earl got Mersa and I know that pretty nasty stuff. But even Murphy is coming down with this nasty head to chest cold. I feel quite bit better but not 100%

Pick A Number Please

I have and yet I haven't put all my eggs in one basket when it comes to the computer. This may sound a little nutty, But it works.
I have an old garden catalog and I take the item number and it represent what I'll be doing on the computer. I have a sign each number to a certain task. The days I work I try to limited my time to about an hour. But the days I don't work it anther story
#1 means I do twitter, #2 means I do facebook, #3 means I post something on my blog, #4 I read off of my blog, #5 and #6 I check my e-mail, #7 I do genealogy, # 8 I do ceramics and # 9 it means I do none of above.

It seem some what unsettling what going on. It seem like more and more people needs a good safety net. There closing our local local welfare office here I know it been a drop off station for a couple of years now. But sometime one needs to talk to human to get any place. Our next office is in Bonner County down by Sandpoint. Which is 20 miles south.
Talking about things related to down turn in economy I don't think my hubby will be working much last year he made around $4,500 and what I gathered the tree nursery are down 30 to 70 percent in sales. I figuring his income will be $2000 t0 $3000 from the nurseries. But we're in a lot better setting then a lot of people one see a lot of empty homes here. We have no house payment and so far no hours are getting cut back on my job yet. But I don't think it will have any increases

Not Irish Stew Tonight

Myspace Graphics, St. Patrick's Day Graphics at WishAFriend.com

I'm trying to get back to my work schudele sense I usual have a 3 day weekend. I have this since infection blowing yellow snot. With raspy lung cough. It been week sense I been this way.

Well on my post about my hubby thumb. His nail want began to swell up so he end going to the doctor. The doctor was total amazed by it all. They had to lance it and let drain. The doctor was amaze by it color. Most puss is yellowish or greenish. Hubby has all strange colors. The doc want him to get it cultured well we had to say "no" because of the cost. Confession time...I wish I was there to watch sound interesting

It seem like mid March the weather real takes a leap up in the tempture like on the 15th the high was 58 (14.4) degrees. And the sun was shining for 10 hours and 35 minutes. But all most daily I check to see if any more is coming up.

As today it St Patricks day. I know Ireland was taken over by a raid of Christain so call to civilize the so called heathens. But I have no ideal what my Irish past family even or came closely behaving like this or not. I been told they're from the black Irish stock. I have no ideal what there behavior was. From what been told they came from the county of Antriem in Northern Ireland. I was planning to have Irish stew but there other meat in the fridge that needs to be use up. So maybe for the celbration of spring we can do up some Irish stew

Heart Got a Little Softer

Resently a short time ago I just finish reading and took part in a book discussion group. The book we read was to "Kill A Mockingbird"

I haven never posted about prejuciced or much about it. My dad had some prejudice agaist black people. I can recall when Sammy Davis JR took a white wife and my dad made a statement or something like "That damm coon trying to move on in with us white folks" But I never recall him making a statement like that agaist any other race. The few conversation we every had about any deep meaning of religion or spiritaul matters. He never thought that Christain had the entire market on heaven. He thought all faith even the non christain faith had an equal oppurtunity to achive heaven. Even the Mussluim, Jewish Buddist and etc. But as time went he did soften his heart.

Now for my mom she had some distrust for so called religious people. Confession time...I have to say propley some of her ideal and feelings toward religious people have had some influence on me. But I have seen some not all nice christain is all talking about the blood of christ. So to me this a code word I can cheat and be the most nasty person and cause Jesus died for our sin it "OK" But sense I started to be Donna Caregiver who I at first thought she was one those Christain bleeding from the cross. But I was wrong even if she in to more the evigical movement she seem to be a fair person. Confession time...I was a little on the leary side going to work for her.

Trees 'R Us would let there Mexican works make races remarks to the white works and call them. "White Guys" and "Niggers" and this was towards my hubby and a friend of ours. The other white men who works for this place had some run in with the law for ilegel sex acts. So my husband and our friend got fired for complain to the boss about it and the rest of the crew is there to best of my knowlege. So my hubby I believe is healing but it real had some effect on him

I could go on and on about this but I won’t. There one more thing I would like to point out. Sense 9-11 it seem to be fashionable to have or be prejudice agaist the Arab or Islam people. I heard people lumb them all in to radical or to extremist. Well there nut cases in every group including Christains

I came down with nasty cold I’m treating it with combo of natural and up to date. I been drinking water with baking soda when one got the crud it says your body is to acid. Plus I been also drink hot water with cayene peppers, add a little honey or Karo Syrup.

Hubby some how mess up his thumb nail and he been using Tea tree Oil on it. Statement time...men are such babies The first night after the injury I thought of going in guest room and sleeping on that bed. I wish I had of I don’t think I would have such a nasty cold

I Still Love Him Even With All The Bull

First flower of the season has open and bloom. It happen under the front window in the hodgepodge flower bed. It minture iris and it's a deep rich purple in color.

With work and it's all the BS of life. Murphy and I haven't real spend anytime together so we barrow Murphy sister Faith metal deteter. We went down by the sewerville.

I don't know how long the city of Bonners Ferry sewer treatment plant been there. But it must of been there for some time around I would guest between 1965 to 1970 my cousin and I walk down there.
As Murphy was out looking for old coin and other neat items. It seem like he keep running into all cans. I personaly was more interested in the view.


The river and ambush rock. Ambush rock is part of our Kootenai Indain tribe history. It been said that a group of people was canoe down the river and the Indain attack them. I haven't the foggest ideal why.

Then I suggest to go on the property once my Uncle John and Aunt Joyce (Fran) Mc Calmant owned and lived. Thats the only house I ever remember them living in. I would guess they move in between 1950 and 1953. The house was located on the corner of Apache and Apache Ct. It's been tore down for a while there son was the one I walk down to the sewer lagoon. I'm from Februry to December older then him.

Plus there past neighbor Lenora Coats home has been tore down. She just resently pass away at the age of 98 years old.

Lenora Coats (98) formerly of Bonner Ferry passed away at the Bonner General Hospital in Sandpoint, Idaho on March 1, 2010. Memorial services will be held on Saturday. March 6, 2010 at 2:00pm in the LDS Church in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. A potluck will follow the service.
Lenora was born in Cold Springs, MO on June 23, 1911 to William David and Clara Belle (Cook) Henson who preceded her in death along with two brothers and two sisters, one son James and granddaughter and one great granddaughter.
She is survived by children Living of Sandpoint, Idaho, Living of Moyie Springs, ID, Living and Living of Troy, MT and Living of Olathe, KS daughter-in-law Living of Moscow, ID, 15 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren and 10 great-great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
When she was 93 Leona attended the University of Idaho where a new ruling was passed that any over the age of 85 could attend collage with out a high school diploma. It is called the “Lenora Rule” she received a 4.0 GPA.
Lenora was an avid sewer; she made cloth dolls and doll clothes, stuffed toys of which a lot went to poverty stricken children all over the world. She was a member of the Rebecca and Lapm lodges. She loved people gave “roses” while people could enjoy them, she loved to socialize and gave abundantly to charity, thus her request to have no flowers at her funeral she could not enjoy them. Her request was to send all memorials to “Feed the Children”.

I feel bad that I lost track of the family. I also thought she had a lot of common sense wisdom. Thinking back when she was born no jets or rockets going into outter space but not real any air plane to talk about. WWI was going on and airplanes was coming out as the newest thing for the miltary. It wouldn't even suprise me she used a computer. Just think of all the advancement she saw that came into this world
