More Then Three Less Then Ten

Murphy and I haul trash to the dump. I know that not the correct term. But we all know what we're talking about
Had quite a bit of cardboard to go and recycled.

Then we went up to our property on the bench. Sprayed those bad weeds with round up. Did 3 gallon of spray.
Our place doesn't have much for bad weed. Murphy cousin places sure have enough bad weed such as  TANSY We're not spraying there side.
I'm not a big fan of Round Up.

We went down to see Regis and Liz. She is renting a cabin down on Deep Creek loop. I thought is was getting the entire place for $400 a month and the utilities. But she isn't. There old cabins and in winter your electrical heat would run well over $200 a month.
I was thinking those little cabin would be a good place for Murphette if the heat was included.

I went and talk to Murphette about moving on. Confession time...I was so afraid I would come across gruff. 
But I didn't, it went smoothly.  
So I told her she needs to be moving on by July. So for the summer months she is going to get a disabled sticker for the national forest and going to stay at different national forest parks though out this area.
Personal I want my place. I don't mind helping others out. Confession time...last thing I don't want to do is enable her.

As for eating I get to mark off three meals of clean eating. Which means no white flour or sugar. I thought that would be simple, it wasn't been at all.
Water is difficult one for me. We're suppose to drink 64 oz of water. I believe I've done about 32 oz and for me that's a lot.
For breakfast I cook up some steel cut oats and cut up a banana. Steel cut oats stays with me. Lunch I had pork and beans with two hot dogs cut up.
For dinner I made zucchini fritter.
Snack on the way home from the bench we stop in at Harvest foods and got a few things. Both of us got a sweet type of roll.
He got a apple fritter and I got a bear claw.

I Was Going to Post


That I had a lazy day but that wouldn't be the truth. I can say honestly I didn't break into sweat. Got my living room back into order. It was so cluttered.
Move the dinning room table back in the center of the dining area.
As for my eating I've done ok. No junk food such as cookies, candies and etc.
I did get a dish cloth finished and started anther yellow one.

With What Every

A little bit I'm taking Regis to Sandpoint Wall Mart to see the eye doctor. He got a new care giver my friend LaWalla.
Right now we're splitting the hours in half, 8 hours each. Then she will take most of the hours. I'll just keep 2 of them. Which I'm hoping to do Monday Morning before I go to Carrie place.

Murphy been putting a lot of time and energy into the garden. Planted cucumbers, melon and winter squash to grow up on the trellis.

Well the FLEA BEETLE took care of and not in good way. The arugula, mustard greens, and kale.

Got my walk in before I went to work. My vegetable today was spinach and lettuce. No fruit yet. Think in bit I'll have applesauce. Maybe I can mark 4 serving of vegetable and fruit.

As I was saying above I was taking Regis to get his eye exam. Thank “AH” he has cataracts. Or his medie-medie (Medicare-Medicaid) wouldn't cover the exam.
I don't know if all state is like this or not. But here in Idaho.
If someone goes and has an eye exam and they find nothing wrong. They have to then pay for the exam.
None of people on medicaid can afford the exam. I was wondering what they would of done if nothing was found such as cataracts or something. Being nearsighted or farsighted doesn't count.
Toss us in debt-er prison.
Everything work out. But it got me wondering if they didn't find something wrong what would of they real done. He had no money and I refuse to pay for it.

Now It Came To Me

My last post I know there was something else I want post about. The other day I took 2 cases of Capri Sun out to the hope house. I call it the give away house. Usual they give away non food items such as toilet paper, soaps, clothing, female products, band aids and etc.
Not sure but during the summer time, when school is out they make up bags of goodies and pass them I believe is weekly.
A few of the items that is place in bag is cheese crackers, fruit cups, and other snack like foods.
I gather there over 100 children that use this program.

Well today I walk in Sandpoint. Carrie had quite a few medical test done and all of them came out with flying colors.
Manged to get my 30 minute walk in.
Took my lunch and I shared with Carrie at Sandpoint city beach.
There was quite a few hours between appointment. So we went to the PIE HUT and I was Confession time....I had a piece of chocolate pecan with side of ice cream, and also had 1/4 of Carrie German chocolate.
Rest of my eating was ok. Did take a short walk after dinner in hope to burn off some of the pie and ice cream calories.

Almost done with a dish cloth I been crochet. Maybe less the dozen stitches and tying it off.

I Know More Happen

Murphy is out planting some peppers in our garden. I'm waiting for a phone call.
Carrie been in so much pain. That she trying to get back in to see her pain doctor.
But once she knows something she will give me a call, and how long will that be. Your guess is good as mine.
So I'm a prisoner to our phone. I'm a person who doesn't have a cell phone.
But I look at a cell phone is having a cord tied to you on 24 hour base.
I guess one can always turn off the cell phone”

Actual I might go and have coffee with my friend Quenella down at “Under the Sun” in Bonners Ferry.
Unless I get a phone call by nine this morning. I'll just get hold of Carrie and let them know I'll be at “Under the Sun”

Tuesday I did weigh in and I was down a .50 pound. My T.O.P.S club is having a challenge.
Surprising for me, one of the hardest things is to have a healthy breakfast. Finley I did it. Steel cut oats and banana. Not sure what I'll be having the rest of the day. Because I'm not sure what going on with my work.

I thought I would have more to say. But I'm drawing a blank.

50 points

I was wondering if I was going to get my 50 points in our summer weight lost challenge. Looks like I'll just squeak by. One of the thing is "No white or white sugar at a meal" guess what I had for dinner, home made chicken and noodle soup. The noodles are made with "White Flour" But other then that I had no cookies or candy.
I tried something a little different. Plain white rice, with paprika, and dried pineapples. It was real good.

Off to Spairfitea, last time we had 11. I'm surprise that we have that many interested. I was afraid  of getting people out of the broom closet.

I wrote quite a few pen pals over memorial day weekend. I receive quite a few FRIENDSHIP BOOK and got them all send out.
Even made up a pen pal kit. The last one I made I add a few photos form around my community. I forgot to add them to this kit.
Oh, well I can send a few photos at later date.

My blog post tomorrow "keep your finger cross" I'll let you know if I lost weight or what. How things went with Spairfitea.

Take My Word We All Serve

I don't see my self going up to the gravy yard this weekend. No I didn't serve my country in uniform.
But I feel I serve others in so many ways. I have plenty of opportunity to help out others a little.
At times a little goes a long ways. Anyhow it better to serve and help the living. 
The dead is in there own place. What every that may be. 


I don't agree with the OATH keeper. But I thought it was a good ideal for our local chapter in Boundary County to have a food drive, there goal was to fill a one ton flat bed truck.
I purchase a few items and donate to them.
It worthy cause. I believe supporting my local area when I can. Which includes the misfortune in our our community.

As for other items today.

I paid most of the bills. I still have our internet and I'll pay that Tuesday. Since no mail is going out until then.
Got paid today. I had enough in our checking account that if I didn't get paid I could cover our basic bill for the next two month and put food on the table. It wouldn't be easy.

Stop in at Bank and I didn't rob it. As I said before I got paid from my place of employment.

Took care of Carrie.

Then on the way home I stop in at Safeway and got some discounted yogurts and pudding at 50% off.
As I was in check lane. I decided to purchase the guy behind me his six pack of beer, and few other items. Pay it forward.

Well right now I'm on hungry side. Not much junk food today. I did have a pudding I got on discounted bin. Well before I went to work I had an small hamburger and of course on cheap white bun. Dinner look like we're having Brats, mash potatoes and spinach.

Lazy Day

Went to work drove Regis down to Sandpoint to see his head shrink. I know that not political correct term but I'm using it because I can't get the spell correct.

I don't know once I got home I'm so tired. Hopeful I'll get a chance to get my walk in.
Had a BST sandwich...Bacon Spinach and Tomato for breakfast. Also got mid size chocolate shake a McDonald,
Dinner Murphy has some chicken hind quarters in the oven.

Out There

This morning I increase my local walking up around the bend to the turn that takes you to Highway 95
A lease this time I didn't have to deal with some old crank. Daisy our dog and I walked it and back home, in a ½ hour.

Today I worked a split shift. This morning I took Regis in for MRI at our local hospital. They have an mobile unit they bring up on Thursday.
Then In the late afternoon I take Carrie down to Sandpoint to have a procedure done about her pain.
As she was having her procedure done I put up 3 fliers in Sandpoint area for our local “Earth Base Faith” gathering.


I swung by COMMON KNOWLEDGEID but they was close. But mange to get flier in ZERO POINTINQUIRE WITH INN, and MONARCH COFFEE.
At this point I don't see my self posting any next month in Sandpoint unless someone have an appointment in that area a week or so from our gathering in June. 
I found around a week is about the right time place up posters. To early they forget. To late they have other things planned.
Confession time....I try to post things on facebook proper groups or communities. I wouldn't post about our earth base gathering in a cooking group.
Well I want people around the TROY and LIBBY to know about our gathering. I posted it in yard sale and if I knew about community event page I would of place it there.

Stop over at LaWalla this evening. I'm trying to get her on with Regis. But for a while she and I will split the hours right down the middle. I will slow keep reducing mind down to 2 to 4 hours a week.
If I told Regis I was leaving that he would find fault with her. He met two other care givers and wasn't comfortable with them. Which he might of been.
But he is comfortable with me. And tends to be co-depended on others. I don't need that or he doesn't need that either.

I been some what dispointed on what I been eating my husband Murphy been doing all the shopping for food. As my work schedule been some what all over the place. Taking client to the doctors this week.
Ate a late dinner. Got home after seven had a thin (2) pork chops, cranberries, and plain bake potato with my friend Alice seasoning.
Before I left I had some left over spaghetti and cup of applesause.
Pancake for breakfast.
Fruit a banana.

I can see fault in my own health habit. But I'm always thinking to my self "I know people who eat chips, eat tons of sweets, and have a few pops a day" but my habits aren't as bad so I'm not as bad as some people I know.

One Minute Ying and Yang

This morning I went for a walk in a different neighborhood up by Grandview Cemetery.
One of our challenge for T.O.P.S is to walk 30 minutes a day, and I like to chance things up a bit. I do take my camera when I go to a different place.
Well today I walk up Aspen street. There was this paranoid grouch and he told me I was trespassing. I wasn't on his property; I was on a city street. Then he ask me why I had a camera.
First I inform him I wasn't on his property that I was on city street. Then I told him I like taking photos. And insured him that I wouldn't take a picture of him or his place.
So I continue my walk to the end of the road and back down to my car, about 20 minute.

The old asshole watched me the entire time...Statement time...I'm tired of these MISFIT Californian moving up here. With there nutty ideal. What I've seen most of the are ultra conservative (NAZI)

I didn't get my 30 minutes in. So I drove up to cemetery and walk around the back edge on the west side.

Took Regis to see his doctor in Sandpoint. He is my newest client. His pain pills wasn't working. So the doctor put him back on Morphine.

We stop in a Super One in Sandpoint to get his prescription filled and I bought him and I a kid ice cone for .25¢
I had every intention to just have the cone and I bought my self a package of 3 oatmeal cookies. The old asshole up set me and I let it get to me. But I only ate one of the cookies, and the other two are out in my car.
Dinner was a little earlier then I like. So before seven I'll have a piece of toast with peanut butter.

Murphy planted quite a few tomatoes today. He had to steak and tie them. There is usual a breeze blowing.
And things get blown over fairly easy.

It Monday Evening

Haven't seen Sawyer or Betty for a while. Murphy and I finely flew down and visit them from Saturday and came home on Monday.
Went back to work today.

Sawyer and Betty took us all over around Medford Oregon. They have a little place but it well kept and is quite darling.
Well I found a before photo but I can't get it to load. I guess the renters before didn't mine living in squalor. I shouldn't speak all that loudly. My home could go though a good cleaning.



Not sure what my favor place was to visit. But I sure like this bush. But not sure what it is.

I've been having a lot of pain. In my left hip, left side of my lower back. My right knee, long with my right ankle and foot.

Went to T.O.P.S and weight in and was down. It was either ½ or ¾ a pound.

Today I put up fliers in Bonners Ferry for our next gathering of local pagans. Confession time...I went to the OLIVE TREE in Bonners Ferry and ask if we could put up a flier.
I real didn't think they would put up a flier for us. We're a local pagan group. They inform me that there an Judea Christian store. I just couldn't resist taking one in.
Anyhow I went down in there basement to look around at there thrift store. but I believe she send a girl down to keep an eye on me. You know I'm non Christian and I don't have any ethics
I don't know were the funding goes from the sale from her thrift store. But upstairs they have two donation boxes one for local and the other one for Israel.
Opinion time...I don't think any state or country should have religion base government...cause to much trouble.

Murphy planted some tomatoes, broccoli, and cauliflower in the garden as I was at work.

Mid Week

Drama in my life is basic non existing. My claim to  life is "my life is uneventful" so my blogs aren't all that exciting.

My weigh in was yesterday. I was up a 1/4 pound. I know briefly I mention about our present challenge. Here is what we need to do...keep a food journal, 30 minute of cardio exercise, 64 oz of water, healthy breakfast, clean eating (No white sugar or flour), no eating after 7 pm, and personal success.
Each is assign a point value. Also a weekly point which I'll post later.
So each meeting we put fifty cent in the pot and we earn a tickets which we have our names on. At the end we draw a name, if that person lost any weight you win the pot.
The pot is usual between 20 and 30 dollars.

I have to say my breakfast wasn't all that healthy. had fried potatoes, and eggs. I guess it little better then a doughnut. But I feel I can't mark a "healthy breakfast" this time.


Yesterday between job and appointment. I went over to our local library to make up our flyers to post around town about our next general gathering.

Today I'm taking Carrie to Sandpoint for a doctor appointment and hopeful I find time to take a walk.
It sort of blustery day and I'm taking an umbrella.

Small Amount Sometime All It Takes


Yesterday both of my son call and wish me a Happy Mothers Day. I had sure a horrible head ache and didn't talk to either one long. I handed the phone over to there dad.
Both son are house hunting now.

Well today I took Carrie over to her so called doctors appointment and some how dates got mix up.
So her and I briefly walked though the HEALING GARDEN
I enjoy the tranquility of the place
Confession time...I can't find my keys to get into the church where are tops meeting is held. 
So much for tranquility the pastor will meet me at 9 to open up. With work and all my house is so cluttered it driving me nuts.

I'm one who like to help others out. I've mention my friend Murphette she parked in our drive way. She homeless and she has her van plugged in.
We feed her and let her use bathroom. But one thing I don't want to enable her to get a place of her own.
A basic two bed room trailer here is $400 a month if your lucky. Plus utilities and you cover them. Her income is right around $750 a month.
It used to be third of your income should cover your housing cost.
Hopeful soon something will work out for her. But one needs to put some effect in helping them self.

I been going though the alphabet and I'm at the magic letter of "I" and the only food I could come up with I is Iceberg Lettuce and Ice Cream.
Well I step out side of the box and came up with the word "Individual" and went to Safeway and bought 5 loaves of bread and took them to our local food bank.
Our local food bank in Bonners Ferry has such a high demand of use. So I also posted on a few local groups though facebook... I understand the local food bank in Bonners Ferry has a high demand of people using there services. I'm nicely asking any INDIVISUAL to bring in bread which is an item of higher demand, or any thing else during the week of May 11 through 15.
Food bank is open Monday thru Friday 9 til 12 (close 12 to 1) then open from 1 to 4. Closed all day Thursday 
Food bank is located next to Verizon building on the south hill"
I hope some individuals will make a different in someone else life. I was briefly talking to the front lady and she told me someone saw the post and brought in I believe is five sack of pancake mix.

I hope before I leave this earth and go on the other side for a while. That I make this earth  a better place. How every small it may be...

It Hit After Dinner

After dinner I was going for my walk. But after I got done eating. chicken, corn on cob and potatoes I ended up with up set stomach and headache.
Both of my sons called me on Mothers day.
This is all for today's post

Stop In With The Facts


Once a year SILVERWOOD theme part just north of Courd Alene. Opens there park for about four hours. For handicap and disabled.
Which I find is very admirable. But here is a few issue I saw.
They redid there parking. You park so far away. It use to be if your disable you could have someone drop you off in front and go across the highway and park.
The way it is set up now it sure is a pain for those who have mobility trouble. Put up a building that rent out mobility equipment in the main parking lot. The closes mobility park is a 1/2 mile away and that walking.
I would guess only 1/4 of the rides was open. It took one to two hours to get on a ride. The park was only open four hours.
For a lot of these people standing on black top and hard surface must of been hard on them. It was hard on me.
Carrie had a ticket to get in and a chaperon ticket which I use. I thought this was nice on Silverwood part but standing in line for an hour or more to get on a ride is a little much.
Opinion time... is to open the entire park and have it open for 6 to 8 hours instead of the four.
Carrie and I did take a ride on "Tremors"

Murphy and I went out and worked on tarring the shed out the bench. It been a while since I been out there. But I can see progress he been making. This morning he and I went out and took out the floor that held up the insulation. Not sure what the correct term for the floor would be called. You didn't walk on it.
Made of particle boards it went to the dump.

The garden is going good. Lot of the seeds we planted is up. We have more to plant but our ground temperature isn't warm enough.

I been staying some what focus. No I haven't drank my 64 oz of water but I'm a little over 36 oz of water. It increasing.
At silverwood I bought some fudge 2 chunks. And on the way home we stop at PANHANDLE PIES
for a bite to eat. I bought clam chowder and she got four slice of pie to go.
I'll weigh in this up coming Tuesday at T.O.P.S not sure what that scale will read. But my home scale been reading right around 210 and usual it reads 215.
I did get my half hour walk in.

Don't Want to Fall Off The Wagon

I couldn't tell you how many time I've fell off the wagon when it comes to weight lost. I figure if complete 3 of the task on our current contest.
There a good chance they will be come a habit and good habit.
Walking, no eating after seven at night, and water they want us to drink 64 oz (.03) Although there other task to complete but I've over whelm my self trying to change habits I know that needs to be change,

Breakfast potatoes and yes they were fired, and cheese melted. Scrambled eggs with spinach straight out of the garden.
Lunch just Moise though the fridge...I know I didn't have any ice cream because there non in the freezer. I just never real had a lunch.
Dinner Burrito or wraps with plenty of greens and use 1 tablespoon of sour cream because out of all the dress it has the less sodium
For fruit I had a banana and mango.

I did get my 30 minute walk in today

Happy To Help.

I'm one who believe charity begins at home. I try my darnedest to buy and give local.
Idaho is a  POOR state. I was trying to find out the stats on needy in my local county. Couldn't find anythings.
But I know there is a lot of poor people.
Our local food bank is part of the COMMUNITY ACTION CENTER and we have such a demand for it and it difficult to maintain it.
The other day I was in there with my client/friend Carrie. There wasn't much on the pantry shelves at all. The two ladies in there that day put a plead out on there person face-book page, for donations.
Anther lady challenge the people in community to bread bake off.

During 2015 I been take a letter of the alphabet each pay period and purchase around $15 and donate the items to our local food bank or the hope house which usual give away non food items.
I bought a case of 30 toilet paper and took it out to the Hope House. Glad I could give. It makes me happy to help when I can.
There planning to do some type of sack lunch program though out the summer months. I believe on Tuesday. I told them I would purchase some small pouches of juice and give to them. That will cover the letter “J”.
But this Saturday I'll be getting paid and Monday I will pick up individual items and donate them to our local food bank. Isn't “I” for individual.

Question time...people here seem to elected people who cut any social net programs...and why is that?

I hear grumbling on mainly the federal government and taxes. I don't what these people are thinking.
We need a tax structure. Confession time...I'm one who doesn't care for our present system of taxes.
But I know taxes are necessary to maintain and take care of civilize. But with the resent BUDGET cut who will it hurt.
Opinion time...We spend way to much on the military. Wake up time the veteran department is complete separate department then the military.
And most conservative republican votes to slash and veteran benefits.

It been a while since I got to go to one of my T.O.P.S meeting. I weight in and lost a little over pound.
Well I need a support group and the scales makes me accountable for my choices in my health.
We're doing a new contest that should help us stay focus. From top of my head...No white flour or white sugar for any of the three meals. Well for breakfast I had a pancake.
64 oz water. Not even close
Walk for half an hour. Short by 20 minutes
Nothing to eat after 7 in the evening. So far so good.
My sheet to keep track is up stairs.

I Should Title This But What


Today I took Carrie to the pain clinic down in Sandpoint and it was quick trip. There computer was down that read the x-rays.
Well here is the thing they ordered x ray from the hospital in Sandpoint.
Less then three months they ordered the same x ray from the hospital in Bonners Ferry.
So she got her prescription for her procedure. But they could of taking care of her prescription last time we was there.
They just want to bill Medicare and Medicaid.


As I said thing went fairly smooth. At one time I believe I was driving between Co-op and McDonald and saw this fabric store.
I'm making my children rag rug and I'm getting the cotton fabric ready.
So today I stop in at  THE QUILT PATCH IDAHO and purchase my second round of colors for the rag rug. Which I'll be crocheting.
Sawyer and Betty Colors will be turquoise, purple, and yellow.
Then Bart and Diane will be red, yellow, and black.
I just need one more set of colors. And 3 yards each of solid color of Turquoise and red.

Between jobs I stop in at our local stove shop in Bonners Ferry. Anyhow I don't even know the name of the business.
But they have a nice little selection of yarns. And there not a bad price. I paid $2.50 each for the cotton yarn.


Well the other day I bought two items at our local variety store in Bonners Ferry which is going out of business.
I'm sure going to miss our little variety store. But since there discounting everything down and continue dropping the prices.
At first of the year on my facebook page I post something like this. During the year I'll be send 5 people only a little something though out the year...please leave a comment. Well my cousin Edna sign up and I'm send her this necklace. She lives in Hayden Lake Idaho.
  I don't know who all does facebook if you want to send me a FRIEND REQUEST go head. I'll be friends with anyone. Until someone don't act civilized.
As many of you know I do pen pals all over the world also I got package of eight note card from the going out sale from Huckleberries.
One thing I don't under stand why they;re talking about putting a high end stores in our town of Bonners Ferry. Most people who isn't retire have to work for a living.

Half Hour of Life.


Yesterday Murphy and I took a trip to Spokane to visit Bart and Diane. We went to her parents place on the south end of the Spokane Valley.
Bart and Paul was trying to keep up on some orders for there camping furniture. But all five of us went and looked at some places Bart and Diane is thinking of buying.
Out of the three places we looked at this is my favorite one. It has little over five acres. The house is has five bedrooms and asking price is just under $140,000
There was two other places we looked at one was a piece of property near this house. The place was near  HAUSER, IDAHO.
The place in Hauser has just under five acres. With modular home on it with a lot more issue with it then the older home above. Confession time..I'm a fan of older farm houses I love those big front porches....Statement time...personally I would take out the five bedrooms and make it a 2 or 3 bedroom place.
But it up to Bart and Diane what they purchase and live in.
We got home last night shortly before eleven at night.

The two trees been blooming white flower and now there starting to shed. My lawn is looking like a covering of snow from the pedals.
But these trees flowers sure has a nice smell to them.

My yellow tulip. Sure don't have many this year. The darn white tail been getting them.

Since my sleep is off I been pretty much doing things that doesn't take much effort on the old brain cells.
Like a load of colors.
I want to stop in at a fabric store to pick up 3/4 of two different cotton fabric of yellow. I'm making my son and there wife some rag rugs. At this time I've been purchasing the materials. But never gotten a chance to stop in a fabric stores.
So today I been crochet a dish cloth a simple double stitch.
Sewed some strips together for our dog "Daisy" rag rug.

The dryer is done.

It Pretty Much Fancy Robbery


I'm not even sure what statement I need to make, starting this post.
I thought it would be simple day at work. Change my client Carrie bed, do a few dish and some cleaning.
Well I was wrong.
Her DIABETES counts been on high side and the doctor put her on METFORMIN which is fairly common drug for diabetic.
The doctor want her to take a class on nutritional and get a medical bracelet or necklace.
So I suggest she call up her doctor and see in Medicare and or Medicaid will pick it up. So she called her prime care physician.  To see how she would go about getting a brace let but they didn't know how.
Since she had them on the phone. She asked about seeing a nutritionist and they told her there were some papers she need to get.
She then ask if her care giver could come down and pick them up.
Which I done many time for my clients.
They said you need to come right in. So we went and sign in. Sat there for an almost and hour I went up to the front desk ask them what the hold up was. They told me they weren't sure why she was there. I told them someone from there office called and told her to come right in.
Well then soon she went back and she was there for an anther hour.
Yea the doctor filled out the paper work and charged the federal and state for office call. I could of ran and picked up the paper work. If they let me just went in and picked up it would of been 10 minute or less to take of,
