Not Sure When Where Why Or What.

I don't know why I'm a happy person. My life is far from smooth sailing. But in general I'm a happy person.

I've been doing fitday for a while now and they have a mood chart which one can keep track of there moods 

I usual don't work on Thursday but Faith had a 4 pm doctor appointment over Northside of Bonners Ferry and as was there Murphy was preparing a roast beef for dinner.

He and I went up and visit his Step Mother. We want to check on place up there. The airport wants some trees removed on properties surround ours.

So that gives us the opportunity to harvest some of our trees.

At first it seem like the FAA want some of the taller trees down. They cut a couple up front and flagged some in back.

Nothing else been done.

At first they was all aflutter to move those taller trees but nothing real happen out there.What I see of Medicaid and how that operates, I have my doubts the FAA does any thing better. Both government agency. Statement time...Some big wigs that really has no grib on everyday reality.

Had a nice visit with my mother in law. Murphy and I split a muffin and cup of coffee. 

Just finished up Jesus statue. Not sure what I'll be doing with it. It fairly easy mold to cast but the face has quite small details.

I put a front and back picture on Nice and Nifty Stuff facebook page. It's been a while since I post any thing there.

Opinions Doesn't Need To On 24/7

I'm person who don't mine feed back or a comment on anything I may post or share. No you don't have to agree with me. Actual I find it interesting to read a different point of view. That is reason I have a different variety people in social media.

Well if you post you should be able to take the heat from people who see the world different then you. I try to be polite when I disagree with someone...I usual try to start my comment those who I may not see eye to eye....I'm sorry but I disagree and tell them why you disagree”

Don't worry that won't float with everyone. I disagree with someone and for while they block me and my two sons.

I guess They might of figure my sons came from some bad seeds.

Confession time...Their is time I have no desire or time to give my opinion. Even how bad I want to or need to.

There certain business I try to avoid like plaque. One is Walmart and the other is Hobby Lobby. There is time I have to do business with them.

But I try to keep my spending down in those business.

A short time ago I was in Micheal and in all reality I have my doubts they also pay a livable wage. I know walmart can afford to pay there employee more then they do and don't

The main reason I don't do business at Hobby Lobby is that their so called religious values.

I stop in to Micheal's looking for cotton yarn so I can make crochet dish clothes. They have an excellent choice of yarn. Since I was familiar with the lay out of the place. It took me a few minutes to fine the yarn area.

Found the yarn and start to look for some plain cotton dishtowels that I could embroidery on. Got up to check out stand a nice lady working.

I ask her if they carried “plain cotton dish towels” and she suggested I tried next door at “Hobby Lobby” I said that “ok”

We had brief conversation and felt she was trying to get me to say why I won't go into “Hobby Lobby”

Question time...Does a person need to always give opinion or explain them self.

Not sure why but she gave me 50% off of my purchase and yarn I bought the retail price was $1.99.

 I'm sure thatJoAnnFabric has cotton dish towels I can embroidery on

Don't Know If The Trouble Is Two Lefts and Three Rights

Been attempting to work on my bucket list, ceramics and crochet. Ceramics I been combine 2 of my ceramic goals one is to paint 15 pieces and 30 ornaments.

At this time I been trying to learn the half double stitch in crocheting. One thing is must I have to learn to cognate my hands in a rhythm,more then anything. One could say I have to many fingers and two of the same hand. Not sure two lefts or rights.

One of my goals was to learn how to use u tube but that will wait. Not sure how long.  

Painting on some ceramic pieces. Notice I don't have larger pieces fired up. When I start to pour slip into molds, when the weather warms up. It's plane as day I need to cast some larger pieces.

It sure wouldn't do any warm actual it would be nice if I cast up more utility items. I have quite a few dish sets, molds.

I grab some more bisque piece to do up. Don't mine painting less four ornaments. Confession time...I don't like back washing (antiquing) or sealing ornaments unless there four to do at time.

For may back washing I been using oils that one would use on canvass. It does ok but I like regular transuclent Not sure if you notice the tip top picture piece I've been painting on and will start to paint soon. The rock piece in back ground. I've decide to wait on that one. I feel that piece should be done in chalks. Working with chalks and it takes quite a bit of porcelain spray sealer. One can only do a few colors at time and then you have spray it.

This time of the year spraying out doors is sort of hassle, end and out. I just don't spray in house. So once the weather is more agreeable then I'll have chance to different things.

I put back the rock and got out some other bisque pieces. One of the item I got out is some beads. I keep meaning to go to my friend Alice and use a small sample of her macrame cord, so I know what size I need to drill the end of the beads. I like to made neck-less out of the beads.

The other day I went to doctor have my blood pressure checked. My numbers was really good. Since I was there and if I wasn't there I wouldn't made an appointment for my hip. Well she poke and said I have bursitis

So she gave me some hip exercise to do. We had some old pain pill around the place and cut it down. Took a part of pill with muscle relaxer before I went to bed.

Now I feel like I'm functioning a mind fog. If you call it functioning.

Weekend Photo Hunt (Amber-Wrapped)

I was never real sure if amber was a COLOR I'm so thankful for google for such answer. I know some people consider the middle light in traffic light, amber or yellow. I've always use the term a “yellow light”

Now for those who have or will get hay fever. I just found out if you were amber around your neck. Guess what! You should have no issue with hay fever. What do you think of that? No more of those pills that makes you walk around in a fog.

Most rx medication comes in amber color bottle.

  thought wrap would be quite hard, not at all. When I was making cream puffs and cube of butter was sitting on counter all wrap up. It then dawn on me; that would be a fit for this week theme.

It got me wondering more about HISTORY OF BUTTER  I've seen old butter churn in books and museums. I've known people who has made there own butter and it was done in a jar with lid and shaken a long time and hard.

Let me say I thought this week theme of warp would be easier during Christmas. Actual I don't wrap that many gifts compare to others. Once in while there would be an occasion I may give a wrap gift to.

Next weekend photo hunt theme will be BOOGIE and or STEPS

Wages? What Is A Worker Worth

$7.25 an hour should be called a survival wage, not a livable wage or even a minimum wage.

Those who are earning $7.25 an hour or slightly higher. Usual depends on such programs as snap (food-stamps) W.I.C housing vouches, and frequents food banks and other services, to survive.
With cuts in the safety net programs it makes low income wage earners; life more difficult.

An unforeseen event for low income worker wage earner, could force them to take out a predator loan, to survive and continue with their current place of employment.

Even with a certificate or a degree. One could go to anther state, usual are paid a higher wage.
Having a certificate or a degree doesn't guarantee a livable wage, in Idaho.

Those employers who can afford to pay a livable wage and don't simply "doesn't respected their employees or associates"
Those who gets up and go to work, deserve and is worth a livable wage.

Editor note...This a copy of letter to editor I send to our local paper.       

Not So Fast That I'll Get Dizzy.

I made cream puff # 83 off of bucket list. Actual there easy to do. A lot of beating of batter. A good arm and a mixer is a must.

I notice all the recipes are the same. But the filling seem to have wide choices of way of doing them. Google in cream puffs.

Watching a short you tube VIDIEO prepared me for it. Confession time...If I didn't watch the video, when add the eggs and was not prepare for egg reaction I would of toss it.

#2 of my bucket list is sort of done. Well I only know how to do one stitch when it comes to crochet.

I add four more goals to my BUCKET LIST ....#86 down load a you tube video, #87 post a you tube video on my blog...Statement time...that one might be on here below...keep your finger crossed. #88 make a you tube video and last one will be #89 learn the four basic crochet stitches.

Confession time...Not sure what I need or want to do with my blogher account. I'll figure it out anther time.

One thing I like to go is to a blogher or a blogger CONFERENCES The odds are slip to none I'll be going.

Monday evening. I'm going to adventure out and go to a twitter party. One of lady from Bloppy Bloggers. It a blogger group on facebook I joined

Sort excited but sort of scared...A least I don't have to dress up to attend.

Do You Call Them Dish Cloth or Rags

LINKS WILL BE IN CAPITAL LETTERS.

One of the item on my BUCKET LIST was learn or re learn to crochet I did a little in high school. I made a dish rag doing single crochet stitch. Still need to tie the end of it off.

I need a lot more practice. Stitches aren't even and haven't yet got the hang of counting. I tried to figure out the single crochet in book. It total confused me.

  Also I been doing some ceramics. I wasn't sure how I like these color of Jesus clothes. All the painting and statues I seen. He always so clean and put together.

Question time... Wasn't he blue collar worker? Carpenter by trade. To think about it I never read or heard if he actual built anything.

Most blue collar jobs I know a least you get dirt under your finger nails.

 Instead this u tube VIDEO got me on my way.

Looking though that BOOK here more then the single, half double, double, and triple crochet. But these are basic and a slight chance to do something a little more fancy or challenging.

I believe after the dish rags I like to move on to a simple hat or so.

Confession time...I like and to wash dishes with a double crochet, lot more sturdy.

Before that I like to try something with using two different color of yarn.

I believe my next step in cooking will be a cream puff. I heard there easy today. To me they look darn scary.

I like them with hot chocolate. But coffee would serve nice.

Just Can't Grip It.

Can't get my mouth around the ideal or thought I'll turn 54 tomorrow. 53 and 55 rolls out a lot easier when said. Shortly after I had little bit morning coffee. I told; not ask my hubby I want to be screwed some time today. “This would be my last opportunity to have sex before I turn 54” seem like strange number. 45 seem an easier number to spit out. Truth is I'm not turning 45. I'm turning 54

Clueless how sex will be once I actual turn 54. Well I'll have 365 days to let the world know if sex is any different then at 53.

So Hubby and I had our noon-er. Heck I won't be this age again, let lone have sex at that age of 53.

I sure can grip the ideal of having sex at 54. Not the number

I sat a small goal. First part of the year. To be down to 200 pounds by end of February. I thought I could loose 10 pounds in two mouths

I did get under the 210 mark.

Weigh in at T.O.P.S lost an entire pound. I been trying to keep track with fitday Question time..How many crabs does a person needs vs calorie intake?

 

After I got done with T.O.P.S meeting. Last week I went and talk to one of my old clients. See if she would be interested and having me back as a care giver, and she was.

So today I went in to our local food bank office to get the forms to fill out. Medicaid actual funds home care, part of health and welfare.

See the county I'm in, Boundary doesn't have a welfare office. A lease the food bank carries the forms. If they didn't carry them, one would have to call and have it sent up. The next option would drive in to next county of Bonner County.

As I was in the food bank. Hardly they every have fresh veggies. This time they had a few boxes of tomatoes and 13oz bag of baby greens. I got 5 tomatoes, bag of greens, also a bag of 7 sweet potato rolls, and killer Dave's bread.

Usual they have lot high salt, sugary foods there. Others needs it more then us. Since I was picking up a form.

Last summer we took in produce from the garden. The other day I clean under the bathroom sink and there was a full box of tampons and a quarter of box that been open.

Haven't use any female products for last three years or so.

I sign up on pintrest. Not sure what and when I'll do it. Like to connect my blog with it. But like everything on net. No big hurry.

Murphy and I will go into town. Not sure what we will have for my Birthday dinner. I am big fan of fish.

I hope to get buy the place that fixes computers and talk to them about my reader-writer.

Oh If I Was Genius

I like blogging and social net working are ok, little extra icing on cake. I finely with little help from others, bit of time and patience with my self.

Cussing doesn't help when your trying to figure out something. Like setting up a facebook page for your blog. Confession time...it makes me feel better and that I'm in control. I know I am real not in control. But what the hell a few good swear words never hurt.

  I don't know if any of you seen I've change my blog tittle to “Having Coffee With Peppy” from “Peppy almost Prefect world” Yes, I know the word perfect isn't spell right.

 

Hope you can take a minute and check out my facebook page for my blog. Here is my twitter account.

I'm thinking of setting up a Pinterest account. Not sure what I'm going to do with my blogher account.

At this point I been fiddle farting around. That way I won't use to many bad words. For now this way I only use one or two now and then.

Now if I was genius. I could figure out why I can't use firefox to sign into my google account. As much as I like visiting and commenting on blogs. But there one type of comment set up on certain blogs, I have to switch over to chrome browser, to leave a comment.

If your wondering why I don't switch complete over..My dear hubby swear and gets easily frustrated. He does fine on firefox as browser.

Last thing as for a genius I would like to do is to get my new reader-writer to work. I head over to the accessories page put in number it goes no place. It acts like I don't even exist.

Confession time...I would like to post some photo and be part of the photo hunt again, Gattina and Sandi

See what I could do if My brain cell would quite farting.

Five Year of Blogging and Someone Having a Give A Way.

I wasn't going to post. I sure hope you all enjoy good surprise much as I.

Follow this link and it will tell you. What all you need to do to be in Mimi drawing

Banging Your Head oN Celing May Help

No major complaints from me on this post. I'm at our local library posting this. Here I'm doing fine with firefox and my google account. In due time I'll figure or make a decision on my computer issue.

Ms K is having her birthday party. She an Aquarius just like me. She having a give away...5 ways to enter and all so simple. So I won't tell you anymore...Stop on in at Ms K to fine out all the details.

I post briefly that Murphy and I went into Sandpoint and got a few things that Bonners Ferry don't carry. Went into Sears to order a small part for the gas range. Lot of time I shake my head on how things are price. I had to order a porcelain burner cap and it was right around $45.00 and that includes the shipping.
Can you believe no store here in Bonners Ferry cares yarn.
One of my things on bucket list was to relearn and to crochet. When I was back in high school I could do a single chain stitch and make dish cloth.
Confession time...I've always had trouble with my tension on lot of my textile project. All I see I should fine a you-tube video and watch. I got my first row done. I can make a few stitches on the next row and then I loose it.
It's been well over 35 years since I crochet, I was still in high school.
So I am a little rusty.

The other day Murphy and I place a seed order with pine tree. the reason we order from them is they have smaller seed package. No one or least most people don't need a ton of squash. This year we want a smaller squash. What does two people need a 10 pounds or more of squash.
We're thinking of order some more seeds from anther seed company. We're think of order from Johnny. If we need a larger order Johnny would be fine. They have good quality seeds.
If we order we would go probably with Vermont Bean, shipping is real reasonable. Recently I been here about Bakers Seed Company. 

The weather finely warm up above zero and my son Bart and his girl friend is taking a trip to Oregon coast. To see one of Bart friend who we went to high school.  His friend is on leave from the Navy and he and his wife is heading to Japan.

You know I should ask at desk what operating system there using. Sure not having issue like I have with window 8. On window 7 I use less swear words.

On daily Bases I Need To Cuss.

Any blog. Confession time...I can't leave a comment on one type of comment format. Believe me I'm not picking on living rich on the cheap 

But any blog using this type of comment on blogs won't let me comment. It won't let me sign in to my google account. It almost seem like browser problem but I can comment on the blogger that uses this format.Suzie the foodie 

 

Actual I'm thinking of switching to something like word press

So Friday I'm going to give our local library computer a try and see what happens.

But explore browser worked just fine. I can use the browser explore and chrome to leave comment those who use the same comment format as living on the cheap.

 

Went into Sandpoint get a few items which Bonners Ferry doesn't have. One of the items I got was a card reader from vivitar I can go to there home page and do fine. Once I head over to there accessory page

It goes no place.

I'm leaning toward that firefox browser isn't to keen to google. Plus just updated my browser. One way to tell is go to Library and maybe I'll post on blog from there.
