I'm A Color

What color is little oh me, or not so little me may be. I've been reading book and now I'm in area of what your style.
The book ask you to pick a color. and use a phrase some thing like "I'm green" or if you want to step it up a bit. you could use something like. "I'm a solid green".
But I would have to choice a multi phrase to truly use any color I am. Like a rainbow I see two side or some time multi tones or rhythm.
"I'm an angry red" or I'm a fiery red"
"I'm a glowing orange" or "I'm sweet and juicy orange"
"I'm thirsty yellow" or "I'm pissed yellow"
"I'm common green" or "I'm solid green"
"I'm flowing blue" or "I'm a large blue"
"I'm a safe indigo" or "I'm a knowledgeable indigo"
"I'm special violet" or "I'm shinny violet"
There many other colors I like. But I seam to be attract and also fine comfort in most colors.
But I like bright and strong colors. I like how some African and South American native styles.

I've been diving into the Philadelphia  1850 census looking for surname "Shirley" or "Ross" my 2nd great grand parents was married in Philadelphia in 1849. But that earliest true document I can fine on them.
As I'm strolling along I found that the area has state asylum for the insane. I've never heard of BLOCKLEY ALMSHOUSE, actual it sound like pretty sad place.
They still don't treat the mental ill and the poor right. But I bet it was worst in 1850.
Haven't yet gone though this section of census.

Weigh in at T.O.P.S and I was up. I haven't been for a while. Went to Under The Sun and had a cup of coffee with Qunella.
There time Safeway will have nice fish at 50% off. Well I luck out and found two $6 something. Since they was discounted I got them for $3 something.
So we had Atlantic Salmon.
Well I know I haven't yet finish dinner but I want to tell you the deal I got.
Breakfast cream of wheat with side of sausage patty. Add a few raisin to the cereal.
Lunch I was home early enough and I had one hard boil egg, my raw crackers, burrito, and slice of cheese.
My two naught food was a pay day candy bar. It been a while since I had a candy bar and it was overly sweet.
I got some fiber one cookies not bad taste and had one.
To top off my dinner a nice green salad lettuce, radish and fresh picked kale from our garden. And for starch we had rice.

 Help make high ditch for the celery which I believe will be planted tomorrow. first of June.
It sort of remind me of the Japanese COMMUNITY  toward Cheney Just West of Spokane. I remember seeing them out working in there fields, and soil black in color.
But they would flood there roll with water, and my husband and I was doing the same basic thing.
Or one could call it to Dutch kids building a dike.

Maybe Not Or So

Wanted more to offer in my posting about my 2nd great grand dad "John Shirley" Right now I'm trying to see if he was living in Philadelphia in the 1850, so I'm digging though that year census.
I do know he worked in Shoe Manufactures. Question time..what is the different between a cobbler and manufactures shoes.
But he did get married in 1849 to Hannah Ross in Episcopalian church in Philadelphia.
So one minute I figure this man is a true pauper living in tenement housing, with a bunch of children. And then on the other hand not even close. It sort of Bi Polar story.
But I do wonder who wore his shoes.

I tried my hand at making some raw crackers. simple I made cracker with the dehydrator. I soak some sunflower seed, so there nice and soft. Maybe 2 hours and drain off the water.
Chopped up some veggies, finely. What I chop up was some baby kale and little bit of beet greens. Then add some shredded zucchini.
Ran them though my food processors. Til it look sort of dough like.
for seasoning salt and I use a little much. And the other seasoning I use was turmeric and chili powder. But then I decided to add a little bit of seeds, flax and seasme.
Spread thinly on parrflex sheets
Now I bet some of you wonder how long...I would say 6 to 8 hours.

Had no intention going up to the cemetery again. Murphy and I was going over and visiting his sister faith.
She was heading up to the grave yard and we were roped in going up to the cemetery.
This trip was much quicker.

So we came back and visited. A big gust of wind came up and lifted up the table umbrella and it went crashing on to glass table top.
It just shattered glass every where.
She add new awnings to the windows.

Well I did some cutting the grass in mainly my "royal sunshine" bed. Some of my plants lack sunshine.
Did a little wacking to my lavender in hope to let light in.
A few columbine in town is blooming. Mine just struggles a long.
So in fall after Sept 20th I need to dig up this bed and replant.

Murphy and with a little help from me. We planted out our leeks.
Looks like we're going to have a bumper crop of strawberries, still got fingers cross.

Murphy and I hung our so called art work. We found some interesting twist tree stumps and branches.

  

  

Not Brown Sugar

Sure not a fan of rain. One of my favor weather is wind. It seem over the memorial day weekend it rains a least part of the time.
I thought my clients want to go up to the cemetery . But things happen and I was the only one who went up.
Between Murphy and I we have over 20 family buried in Grandview cemetery.
But I don't cover all the graves during memorial day, some years I don't get up there.

So I went up and took an umbrella and walk around the new part of cemetery. Looking for the four graves I want to place whirl stars on.
Three of them is basically in same area.

But I wasn't sure where my Aunt Glenda was buried. I believe it was the first tombstone I felt it represented both my Aunt and Uncle.
It seem that if couple is buried together there tombstone just represent his interest and view on life.
He still alive and loves to fish. Not sure but he use to regular at local auction here.
She loved music and the family would sing around the Piano.
Confession time...I wish I had a little negro in me. That I might have some music talent.

Usual most of the time a day with my crazy client. Sweet as can be and with kind an carrying spirit my day is full of unexpected challenges.
They told me that LaWalla was coming in on Saturday. So she knocked on door at Regis and we were both shocked to see each other.
Liz had an appointment with her social worker.
So I took LaWalla to under the sun for coffee.

Some thing came about Liz daughter she having complication during her pregnancy. I believe it due around the first part of July.
I gather she might suffer from POST PARTUM.
I know Regis ex wife who is Liz Sister suffered from it.
Things are slowly improving in mental illness.

It been a while since I worked on my stamp collection. I collect stamps of mostly people face. I have some other ones. But they all have something to do with people.
Today I wrote a little bit on FELIPE ROJAS LOMBARDI, JOYCE CHEN, JAMES BEARD, JULIA CHILD, KING OF BAHRAIN and JIMI HENDRIX
.

This morning before I went to work drop the pick up off at mechanic for the exhaust and speed odometer cable, and exhaust system.
When my next pay period comes around we will pick up a battery for it, which will be next Saturday.

Never melt in rain.

I Thought It Would Happen When I Got Old

Hopeful it isn't raining all that hard tomorrow which will be Friday. Some years I go up over memorial day and place something on usual 4 to 8 graves. I don't do all of Murphy or my family there just to many up in Grandview.
So this year I'm only do four people.
Anyhow I would prefer to celebrate or remember some one life other then placing flowers on there grave end of May.
I know some people are become more creative when decorating graves.
I think anyone who have a love one they want to keep the memory going. Is to share something of that love one.
Such as poem they wrote, make one cookie recipes, and share them, write up there bio; every one has a history to shared. And we could share something of that person to keep there memory a live.
I'm the last of my great grand father blood line and he serve our country during the civil war. I'm wonder if any one going to put a flag on his grave.

So after my short day with Regis. I meant my friend Quenella for some coffee at under the sun.
I had small bowl of sorbet. A type of ice cream.
Then we went over to John's. Actual it really called Bonner Books. A nice book store. I bought 3 cards that I can send to my pen pals.
I'm a person who like to support  main street business. Not pick box stores.

Our friend Fynn and Barbra came up for a visit, from Priest River. He been ill and there sure not what the trouble is.
But he lost 13 pounds in one month and is down to 135. But in height he well over 6 foot. I'm guessing 6'2 and possible 6'4

Not sure what Murphy did around the place. But he must did something the house was picked up and dishes done.
and I notice he took out the push lawn more and mow the lawn where it difficult to get the riding mower around.

I like stores and learning about people who drive the garbage truck, fly people to there destination, and those every day people that may be forgotten.
So I check out one of DAVID ISAY book Listening-Act-Love-Celebration.

I been told once I complete not have a job to go. Push a time clock that I would get my days mixed up. Most of the day I thought today was Friday but really it been Thursday.

Not Behind The Mask

First of all quite a few left comment about my mask on the power line pole. Our yard light haven't been used for ages and I can't recall what we paid for it way back when.
We always had a good relationship with the utilities company. Usual around here if there is problem they notify you when the mail your next bill.
If something is more urgent they call on phone.
As for ceramic here in North Idaho this fall I will have to put them in the shed. Usual when thing become wet and freeze one will run into trouble.
A good spraying with a sealer will help. Also anther good preventive measure is pour cheap floor wax in side, and dump it back in to the container, where there no paint.

Today I took Regis to get his impression for his denture done in Courd'Alene. It seem to all go well. Driving both ways. Time in office and stopping by the Bonner County Library, part of Sandpoint. We were gone 7 hours.
I get paid mileage for driving twenty five cent a mile from Medicaid. And this trip should be thirty dollars.
Which I will receive in about 4 to 6 weeks.

So in mean time. I took couple of short walk. Notice some of the corners on fourth ave had bricks. Which looked fairly new.

It seem I saw was quite a few thrift stores, anther denture place, and coffee places. And they did have a Safeway. Which is in Bonners Ferry
Almost directly across the street form were Regis was having his impression done they had a fishing tackle place.

On my last part of the walk I stop in at GAIWANTEA HOUSE. I don't like to go far when any of my client is at an appointments.
I know if I came out of a doctor office and my ride was horrible late. I know I would be up set if I had to wait any length of time.
They look like they had a few nice treat you could enjoy with your tea.
But I picked up three sample package at one dollar and fifty cents.
Since I'm an Earl Gray fan. I decided to get Early Lavender. Sweet Pear once had pear wine which I highly enjoyed. So I'll give the tea a try.
My last one I choose was Turmeric Ginger. I got a turmeric base from our local tea house. But this one has ginger in it.

Brought a book a long. Which I'm slowly re-reading and putting a little more thought behind it. Chapter 2 is on the "environment you grew up in"
To be quite honest it sure was far from perfect. But complaining about it doesn't solve one darn thing.
I don't believe for one minute my parents put an hinders on me, on purpose. Sure I was crippled by my environment.
I met people mostly though my job that they basically told me about there childhood. Maybe with a few minor changes on stage there life was given.
Honestly there not much difference.
Not saying I'm a totally stable person. But I think I can function though life and get to one point to anther though the life maze.
                                                                            Coffee is on

Not The Total Please

Hang two mask I've gotten so far. The jokers or jester I got from my friend Quenella. The bubble lady mask is one I painted.
Couldn't quite figure out were I want to put the mask. Only thing I knew it was to be out side. So he suggested the power line pole.
So to me now it starting to look like a totem pole.
If your wondering if power company is going to come unglued about me hanging mask. I don't think very loudly.
The reason it the power pole with the yard light. We disconnected ages ago. I tried to check what they charge for a yard light, wanted me to down load something.

To Regis to the hospital and for some reason they were pack. Usual in lab work your in and out less the 30 minutes.
But today it was packed.
Sat there for an hour and there was problem with the paper work. So there trying to get hold of his primary doctor.
We're heading to Courd'Alene to get impression of his mouth for a set of denture.
Wednesday his social workers stops in.
So will try for Thursday morning.
But as he and I was waiting decided to look though a SMITHSONIAN magazine. There were a few article I read some short and not.
One was about collection of letters written to and from prisoner.
The other one was an archaeology dig on Jesus.
This one fasnated me the history and treatment of the mental ill.

One of thing I like to listen to is STORY CORPS and listen to every day folks. My second great grand father Gilman was a letter carry on horse back.
I wonder how many letters he actual delivered and what was in some of those letters.

So for I can find 10 common surname in my family tree, takse up a few pages in a phone book.
One is Miller and not sure if there any family connection to any of these. But also have
 COX line. Not many famous ones.

For my protein I had bacon, some type of sausage wiener from the senior center here in Bonners Ferry.
Veggie not all that healthy corn.
Well I ate lunch at our local senior center. Mainly because they were serving sauerkraut. Actual there lunch has quite a bit of carbohydrates.
Not sure what there budget is.

I went into our local tea shop REX THEATER TEA COMPANY and bought two loose leaf teas, an ounce of HOLY BASIL TEA and TURMERIC CHAI TEA. Both with a good kick which I like.

Still My Favor Thing

Blogging posting is still my favor thing to do when it comes to social media and my lease favor is e mail.
I been slowly cleaning out my e mail.
But I have a g+ account. Which I don't use that much. But what I want to talk about is my facebook and twitter account.
I like to share my so called un interesting life. Which suits me just fine. But yesterday post with other items not just marijuana. I got quite a few request via twitter for the promotion of marijuana. Come on I talk about also getting a sewing machine. Well wait I did get one request about a do it your self twitter account.
Any how one reason and main reason I do something my self because we can't afford to pay for the labor.
Had a brief posting about my flowers and battle with grass. No request from those flowers lovers.
The very last thing I like to say I thought $350 is toward things one doesn't plan for. When little boogie man does something for shits and giggles. Not funny in my book. Question time...what do you keep back for the un-expected out of your pay check? 
$522.00 $22.00 or $2.00

Been having inkling to make crackers using my dehydrator. Not sure what combo there kale in garden and flax seed in freezer.
One thing I though of getting is an nice juicy apple for sweetness.

Murphy and I went to wal mart I try not to give them much of business. But living out in country one all ways have other option
One thing we need in house hold is a cell phone. My last one went though the washing machine. So for $55 I got a phone, plan, and minutes. Which should last me 5 months. My last phone I never went over 225 minutes in month.
Not phone talker.
And we had to pick up a few more items like. t shirts, pads my bladder isn't in the best of shape, and gum.

Eating once again plus and minus. Let start with the biggest plus. Fairly good on portion sizes" but can't say nutritional wise it's been number one.
Breakfast cream of wheat with raisin. Mid morning snack was feeling a little light headed so I had a cheese sandwich, not a fan of iceberg lettuce. Used Kale for my green.
Lunch was mac and cheese, 2 wieners, and tomatoes. Which was mixed together in a bowl.
Dinner pizza and nice green salad.

Last week I wore my pedometer all last week to see what my daily average was. Not going up stairs I believe it was in low 6,000 steps.
So I want my new average to be above 7,500 steps a day.
Now I read and heard other say one should take a least 10,000 STEPS A DAY 

Work week start bright and early tomorrow, Monday. Taking Regis to have a blood drawn over at the hospital. General lab.
Not sure what his place looks like. But I can clean fairly fast and good. Then Tuesday were off to get an impression of his mouth for a set of new teeth. Driving clear to Courd'Alene a good 130 mile around trip.
Closes place that will do dentures and which medicaid will pay for.
So on our return trip I will stop by the library in Sandpoint.
Now for the rest of the week. Depends on how many hours I use up for the first two day. He gets a total of 16 hours a week or 69 hours a month.
LaWalla will come in on Thursday and Friday. She will take Liz to Sandpoint for her appointment. Simple because LaWalla has an appointment down there about the same time.
Anyhow LaWalla planning to do the 12 hours with Liz a week. She leaving 3 hours open for me at the beginning of the week, just in case Liz needs some help or something.
I don't see me using the 3 hours at first part of the week. So LaWalla will get her full 15 hours in.

                                                                                  Coffee is on




    

Two Days Of Blessings

Having Saturday and Sunday with no in home care is sure a blessing. I have to say LaWalla had to deal with the crazies when they were having there moment.
So I got my pay check and made a list where the money is going to.
Up to $350 for what every happen in life. This should cover food, fuel, and what one never believe is going to happen in life.
$200 on pick up. It needs a muffler and a speed odometer. Later on we will pick up a battery for it.
$130 for my medical insurance. Confession time...I forgot to pay it one month. My health insurance though Idaho Health state exchange is just under $85 a month. So by July I will be back down to my regular amount
I just won't bother anyone about how crappy the health exchange is.
$50 car and I'm guess it going to be a little lower for an oil change and basic service.
$25.00 sewing machine. I already have $123 save up so in next few days I will place and order with Amazon.
$20 for our natural gas bill.
Murphy and I like weed for different reason. One thing I don't like is that paranoid and anxiety feeling. I like that zippy doo dah feeling.
see a eighth of an ounce will last me two months. And dear hubby goes though half to ounce a month. Plus he promised a friend that he would bring back some hash.
So that run would cost us $180.
But come Wednesday Murphy social security will arrive.

This early afternoon we went over to see Quenella and she showed us around her garden. Like us her grasses and un-friendly plants are trying to evade the flowers.
It's consent battle.
Quenella said she built a small fire in her stove this morning to take the cool edge off her place. It never got up to 70 and been quite damp.
We should of built a fire this morning.

Eating consist of bacon, cheese, and egg on english muffin.
Lunch used a smaller plate and had taco salad.
Dinner ground beef patty, oven fries, and green salad.
Snack pop corn with nothing on it, and oranges.

Coffee is on

   

She Couldn't Dream Any Of This Up

My friend LaWalla had to go back to work so I let her finish the last two days of week. So she had 14 hours.
Confession time...I some time don't get people and the relationships between them.
Like Wednesday I took Liz in to have her tooth pulle
d. So she can't take Hydro's and the dentist gave her a prescription for synthetic version. But I can't think of the term.
So she went over to her Brother in law and see if he had any thing he could give her. So he crush up part of the morphine.
So she snort it. After that he told her she had and I use the word "had" to spend the night. Don't worry no hanky panky there. All the medication he is on. Nothing gets hard.
Well if some one use the term "had" and that tone with me. Plus it would matter what they gave me. I would of walk out.
So Liz spent the night and I called LaWalla and told her where the crazy were. She covered Thusday and Friday. As I understood Thursday went smoothly consider there mental state.
So Friday morning Liz had some type of legal appointments with a Lawyer(s). Which I don't know what it about and also it none of my business.
Regis is real controlling about his sister in law.
So he gave her SEROQUEL 400 mg which looks a lot like 800 mg IBUPROFEN. So he deliberate drug her so she was out of it, and couldn't make her appointment.
The strange thing she invited him out to her place for weekend. After all that bull.

Today I got a package in mail I do secret sister swap monthly. This time my package arrived Madrid spain. My favor is post card with pretty flower and I mailing it off to my friend Quenella. Plus I got some other stuff such as color pens.

I did some de-cluttering. Put my paints away from my last project. Not sure what craft project I'll move on towards.
But I still need to fine or get a large needle and whip stitch my swifter cover.
Murphy did a little bit of rottiling in garden today. More and more of my flowers are blooming.
We kept busy and had taco salad for dinner.

Coffee is on   

Brain Is More Clear Earlier

Had something in mind what I want to post and I know it wasn't about the potato salad we had with our left over chicken.
Or about the ginger ale I bought. I bought a six pack of Henry Weinhard HARD SODA. Sure can taste the ginger but a bit sweet for me.
Sort of remind me of corn syrup.

Well I can tell a bit about my genealogy work I been doing. I was working on my dad side the Witherell. And now switch back to the Shirley side. My Mothers mother.
I guess we all can have our prejudice in our lives.
It seem this line is real prejudice do to economical. Those who have some means usual quite a bit versus those who don't.
It like searching two different family. Noble and the servants with the same surname.
I can't yet prove it but I believe they were Irish Immigrants who live in Philadelphia TENEMENT HOUSING

Yesterday we sure had the wind blew last night. Quite a bit of branches in our yard. One can see the flower bed below my window had a bit of roughness.

My friend LaWalla came back on the job. She had to quite for a while. Her mom died the first part of January and she due a small inheritance, which should pay off her credit cards.
But only that happens she will take most of Liz hours which is 15 a week.
LaWalla doesn't want to do any driving. so for Liz appointment I will take her.
What LaWalla would like to do once she pays off her credit card is to pay is to work two days a month.
So she could keep her account with the company. If you let laps to much. You'd have to fill out a application which is quite length.
Opinion time....The application one fills out for in home care our starting pay should be close to $20 an hour.
 Since my friend drives from Troy Mt I could complete understand not wanting to drive 34 miles and 5 out to Liz places. Let just say it 80 miles round trip.
A friend is letting her sleep out in the trailer so she doesn't need to drive back to Troy. She'll do her 15 hour shift in two days.

                                                  Coffee is on

Now What Is To Be Thought Of.

It been a while since I had a change to post. Finish up the mask and now need to hang it. The spot been picked. But the method hasn't been.

I was ask why I'm not going to open the ceramic shop until I'm 60. Maybe I'm a little nervous about doing a cottage type of business. Ceramic isn't something a person needs. Food, water, clothing, and shelter is what all of human needs.
Some may want to debate me  on the clothing bit.
Having a ceramic shop I figure from day to day the income from it could be so sporadically. I figure weekly income off the ceramic shop would be about $100 to $200, gross income.
 So I need to bring in a study pay check.
We could live on Murphy social security if over load my pockets with rabbit foots.

Took Regis to have his physical in Sandpoint. He couldn't fine a doctor in Bonners Ferry simple they didn't want to deal with his medicine that deals with his mental illness. Plus he takes MARINOL and when he takes a urine analyze and it comes up showing THC and they can't detected if it from smoking marijuana or the marinol.
His physical came out ok so far. He still need to do his blood work. The doctor is checking about getting his PANCREAS look at either by a scope of a ultrasound. His pancreas was deform since he was in the womb.
So he has PANCREATITIS.

But like most of my client his diet is awful and very little nutrition to it. I won't at this time get on my soap box and tell you that there choice in food is contributing to there health troubles.
His main diet is milk shake.

My eating habit isn't perfect but I don't live on shakes. Breakfast 2 eggs, bacon, and potatoes, lunch I couldn't finish it but I pack cottage cheese and tomatoes, gram crackers, and peanuts.
I was complaining about my client milk shakes. I thought the vampire was going to take some blood and he needed to be fasting so I bought him and I a shake, chocolate that is.
Dinner was pork chop and part of it going with me in my lunch. Peas and oven fries.

I picked up the reader a more of PROGRESSIVE paper to read about our candidates running for public office.
I have to say I'm a little disappointment that they didn't have any of our candidates for a county commissioner race. Donna Capurso and Walt Kirby. Plus we have a three way race for sheriff. These group of candidate is running on the Republican ticket.
This time around I change my voting status to a democratic so I could vote for SANDERS. To find out I could stay register as Republican and voted for Sanders anyhow.
Idaho isn't known as a progressive state. Seen a few bumper stickers reading "There no difference between a progressive liberal and a communist.
Usual in the primary I try to vote against the far right wing of the republican party. Which isn't many as you can see by this ARTICLE. That there might be only one reasonable Republican Candidate SHAWN KEOUGH 
This year I'm voting policy.
It would be nice if we send anther moderate or a more progressive leaning candidate down to Boise to represent us.
But I don't have much faith in it.

It Came

The food truck came to Bonners Ferry and this time they were quite a few nice items. But they could use smaller amount.
I picked up a box for Liz.
With the TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS that President Reagan started hasn't help the disable or the working class.
But tossing extra money to some of these people who I've taken care wouldn't help either.

Murphy replace one of the gate post in the garden and planted some of the tomatoes. And got a few household chores done.

I've been having dream that I'm by my self and I'm being detain by some physical means. One I'm tight up to a rafter. Or put in cage by my self.
So I got out my tarot deck and did quick reading and see what it came up with...The 11 key words were sacrifice, impulsiveness, cries, change, triumph, frustration, planning, balance, and night journey (blinded by some facts)
 I could tell you how many time I heard. "Work a Job you like" well reality is, life doesn't work that way.
Not much around Bonners Ferry for employment opportunity. Actual at $12.43 an hour doing in home care. The company I work for pays better then most.
But the truth is we need a study check coming in every month. We could survive and if nothing went wrong. Such as something breaking down, on Murphy social security check.
But with me working it keep things a little more smooth.
Considering not much for work and doing in home care. I'm thankful for the two crazies I take care of. I had a lot worst.
With these two I can a lease help a little around the place. I took care of people...I came home drank a six pack of beer and played farmville.
I look at all my ceramic molds, kilns, casting table, and rest of my supplies. Knowing I can't real do any ceramics until I'm 60 years old. Even then it would be on a part time bases. I still figure I have do in home care a lease 12 hours a week.
Even having the shop in our basement will keep the overhead down. Having shop open at this time and income coming in so sporadically will be unnecessary burden.

                                                                                          Coffee is on

Two More Done

Murphy and I planted two more rolls of veggie in garden. We end up planting some green onions, spinach, parsnips, clintro, and radishes.
I end up hoeing some thing we planted earlier like radishes and lettuce. And also the roll of kale.
Did some quack grass cutting "Royal Sunshine" and the "Hodge Podge" flower beds.
But when the weekend arrives the temperature is to drop. But next two days the weather is to hold it own.
The few herbs I have is doing great.

I just all most have my secret sister package ready. Quite bit of my items I send comes from Thrift stores or yard sale.
I found this origami set of Noah Ark. Never been open and paid $1.99 for it. This time we got to pick the area we want to send our package to.
I took Nebraska because my mom is from there. The town my package is going to is HEARTWELL

It takes a bit of time to do eyes. And I could of push a little faster to get the eyes done on the mask. In sense the eyes are done from out side to the inside. Doing the white in pupil is last thing I'll do. But trying to figure out coloring for the lips, can be challenging in it self.

No chicken or pork. Usual we have either one of those two meets because there the best buys. But Murphy found a deal on a roast beef.
So he started the barbecue and did the roast on it. As he was doing that I stuck two potatoes in the microwave. Found a pint jar of pickled crab apples.
Lunch was ground beef patty and chili, yes and stab of bread.
Breakfast was 2 eggs, sausage patty, and not sure what was special done to potatoes this morning but they sure was good.
Coffee flavor yogurt.

Had the day off. I called up Regis and he sound awful and I'll see him tomorrow. But will meet Qunilla for coffee and chat at  UNDER THE SUN.
Hopeful I'll get a chance to purchase some loose leaf tea from REX THEATER TEA and get some for my secret sister
After that a food truck will be in Bonners Ferry and it will be giving away mostly food and every so often other useful items.
The food truck help quite a few people in our community. I won't be getting one for Regis simple because it would go to waste. He usual eat sweets and the odds are high I would just end up hauling it to the dumpsters.
But since shopping is one thing I do for Liz. I'll get her a box her diet is a lot wider in taste.

Got It Back

I thought of telling all of you I got my virginity back. But I believe I would be wasting my time. I did get back below 220.
Trying to move more and eat wiser.
The other day I look up loosing weight on MARIJUANA, usual I get the bad case of un wise MUNCHIES .
But after doing some research I hear that the DURBAN is one of the marijuana for weight lost.
Next time I go over to Washington I might buy a eighth. And see what happens
Now I'm predicting Idaho and the rest of the states will have medical, recreational, or decriminalize.

I keep hearing Candidate Sanders want to raise social security by $65  a month for all who are on social security.
Question time...Don't you think it would be better to do it by a percentage? rather then a fix increase.
Those at lower range maybe a 15% and those who are above $1,800 a 5% increase.
Now my other questions would be
Question time...Those on disability will they receive the same increase as regular social security does.
One thing needs to be up dated is our SSI

Work went ok. Got a few items at one of the thrift stores. Still out in my car. I just need to a blog post about my fines.
Murphy and I did a little bit in our yard. Set our phallus on a stump. and we planted some petunias. Then I trim up some of the grass in flower bed.
Well I have Wednesday off and maybe I can have a chance to share what I bought.

Nothing is Fair

First of all I like to wish all the mothers a wonderful day. At present moment Murphy my dear hubby is the chief bottle washer. And I bring home the bacon.
So we decided he should celebrate mothers day and I should celebrate fathers day.

My daughter in law Molly is her first mothers day. Thursday I bought some teas from our new local TEA SHOP and mail it. Hope she got them Saturday.

Today I got on the riding lawn mower. As I was mowing our lawn. Murphy was in doing dishes. It remind me that my mom never made me feel like a slave.
Sure I had quite a few chores. But as I was doing my chores neither one of my parents just sat and I were there servant.
I seen kids as I was growing up. Got there parents there drinks for what every they were. My parents got there own drinks.
I wasn't there TV channel changer and back then there was the 3 basic net work. No remotes.
Twice a year the house got a good scrubbing, spring and fall. My mom and I did and she start on one end of the house and I on the other end. We're to meet in middle and never once could figure out the middle.
I've heard it quite a few times about people grumbling about how they were slaves to there parents. I have to say in honestly I have never thought of neither one of my parents as slave drivers. Mostly my mom.

The other night I heard from Carrie my old client who moved to Oregon. Now there thinking of coming back to Idaho, SANDPOINT
She having trouble finding a doctor. Not sure what the trouble is. But I believe she should put a little more effort in finding a doctor.
It seem to be getting harder and harder to find a doctor to prescribe pain meds. And I can complete under stand why.

But the trouble is when some one leaves there state and is on state aid of any type. They have to sign off from there state, which takes about 30 days. Then wait anther 30 days for they start there aid from anther state.
So total of 60 days. If they actual move back to Idaho they'll have to wait 60 days for any state benefits.

Not long ago I bought this sun dial from one of our local thrift store. Paid around $20.00.

Looks like there quite a few strawberry blossoms.
Most everything is two week early. Usual memorial day weekend is when the iris, lilac, and peonies are in bloom.
We've had mid 80's a few times.

Both of son call and wish me happy mothers day.

Trying To Find Light

I know nothing excited happen today. As it never does. I'm trying to think of what went on. Regular day.
But our part in life is be teachers and students.
With Liz I'm learning how to deal with wish washy people or indecisive. And someone emotion on full scale roller coaster.

Liz is a Scorpio and which is a WATER SIGN. I'm actual have empathy world among us. I have 3 water sign in my chart.
My rising sign is a Pieces.....Very sensitive to your surroundings, other people's feelings become your feelings. Try to avoid negative people because your tendency to empathize with them will make you negative also. An idealist, you must believe in something beyond your normal everyday existence. A dreamer, you like to escape to a world of your own creation. As such, you are known for the vividness of your imagination and should try to share your inner visions with others. Very self-sacrificial by nature, beware of others becoming overly dependent on you or vice versa. Allow yourself to live for yourself once in a while -- you deserve it. Don't be so envious of those who are more aggressive than you -- your gentle charity and true humility are indeed wonderful gifts. on the tenth house cusp (MIDHEAVEN). 
Mercury which is also Pieces...Your ideas and thought processes do not come to you in an orderly, logical fashion. Instead, you think with your feelings or with images produced by your rich and fertile imagination. A very subjective person, your dreams and fantasies are very important to you. You trust your intuitions and tend to reject ideas that are based solely on logic. Very impressionable, you are sensitive to the moods and emotional states of those with whom you come into contact.
Neptune falls in Scorpio ....You, and your entire generation, are extremely interested in anything deep and mysterious. You will explore and idealize the benefits that can accrue from the study of the occult, healing and psychology. You are willing to experiment with substances like drugs in order to push your understanding of your inner being to the extreme. 

A raising sign is how other may see you and may not be your true personality....Here how some may see me. It's neither negative or positive...Pisces risers appear soft, gentle, self-sacrificing and sometimes even helpless, but this is misleading, as they will fight strongly for what they think is right....In simple term "I'm someone you don't want to shit it on"

The key word for Mercury is intelligence, language, communication, memory, expression, the mind

Believe me I wish I had more time to CREATE...But there something out there keeps me into reality, or lease my safe reality

Neptune is generational planted. I was born under the area of mind exploration. It change about every 14 years.
Best way to explain Neptune...Neptune was named for the Roman god of the sea, and its province is the oceanic depth of the imagination, dreams and spiritual visions.

Our nightly dreams can be a portal through which we find meaning in life. And dreams, as well as the visions of waking life, can be expressed through art, dance, movies, music, etc, reflecting back to us a vision of that inner world.

My parents was 20 years apart.

My dad Neptune sign was in Cancer....You, and your entire generation, tend to overidealize the home, the past and other traditional values. This fosters isolationism and protectionism in the political sense. One's zeal to bring one's own racial or cultural heritage to the forefront may become subject to the same excesses as those of the ultranationalist movements of the 1920's through the 1940's, unless the rights of individuals and dissidents are fiercely protected as well. 

My mom Neptune sign was in Leo...You, and your entire generation, idealize aggressive behavior and the need to be individualistic. But, because you are also attracted to selflessness (the denial of the ego) as a worthy life goal, you tend to have confused expectations about why self-expression is so valuable. 

I've always had some issue with the water signs. I know there need to be emtional side of life. To be a carrying human. Not cruel or understand of us beings.

Runs Smoother At Home

Eating went a lot better. No work for me today. Both of my clients Liz and Regis have there social worker, therapy, and group.
So I stay home Murphy and I stayed home and planted corn. Usual we don't plant this early.

One thing I can say no desserts for this gal today. I start with 2 slices of bacon and last thing I put in my mouth was gram cracker with peanut butter on it
I been doing better good getting water, and seem to enjoy hot water more then cold.

I got the first coat actual of flesh tone on my mask.  Actual the color is called "wild rice"

Since it doesn't make two or three hoots. I know and the rest of the world know that Donald Trump is the Republican nominee for president of united states.
I need to say. When his supporter say he speaks to me. I would guess and actual I'm pretty sure of this.
None of the Candidate lives like I do. Not picking on Trump or any of them. But I don't have a jet to transport me about.
I get up get cup of coffee.
 No servant going to bring me cup.
Don't have any desire to have one either.
Watch a little news,
eat breakfast
do a few chores
pack a lunch,
and off to work.
Do you think any of the Candidates running for a high office. Can real relate to us who get our own morning coffee.

Been doing genealogy off and on for ages. I know sooner or later I would find someone who married a cousin closely related. Today was the day.
My 5th great grand father "Henry" Wetherell born 1703. Marries a lady name Bethia Caswell and they have two son together. Henry JR and Abijah.
But Abijah would be my 4th great grand father, born 4th of May 1738.
Come July of the same year, 1738. It has Henry marrying his first cousin once remove, Dina Wetherell
Well now I'm trying to find a death date of Bethia I'm thinking she died during child birth.
we remarried about 2 months after Abijah was born.

    

Passing Tuesday About

Tuesday weigh in and I gain weight. 2nd time in roll. I'm going to blame it on the Beltane celebration. When I go out to a pot luck. I try to keep to some type of plan. 7 items small amounts, and 2 amounts of desert.
Well where I don't plan is the before is the appetizers.
This morning before I went to work was sausage patty, one egg, and piece of toast with sunflower butter.
Lunch was 2 small chunks of raw coconut, walnuts, and carob. an apple, and sausage patty. After T.O.P.S I went on bought and ice cream, but when I took Liz shopping she got me a cone. Ended up having 2 cones.
Dinner Murphy got out the barbecue and did beef patty and made up some potato salad, with veggies.
Had slice of angel food cake.

And also the face book group BLOGGING LOUNGE

Dancing About

Got out anther new set of colors, for the mask I been painting. Actual it more done then not. But still having trouble on exactly how I want to do the actual face.

Every time when I paint a what I call a gem. I wonder about gem stone COLORS and MEANING.

As you can see I just have a small section of gem stones to finish.

Couldn't tell what all I've done the last few days. But we been busy. Today Murphy and I did some planting in the veggie garden.
One thing I want to grow is SUNFLOWER GREENS, and finish out the roll with Chard, Kolrabi, Zinnia, and transplant a cone flower.
Did a little cleaning in what I call my "good will flower bed" and had some old seeds of iceland poppies, and plant a small section of seeds.
In humorously told my husband I was going into the opium business. He told me not to make to much that it moves us in higher tax rate. Anyhow wrong type of poppies.

Murphy and I decided to pull out our tables and chairs. Our ideal is to enjoy  some meals in great outdoors.
The table is from CAMP SPECIALTIES and they have other items. Light weight and treble.

Our local pagan group celebrated BELTANE and 12 of us danced around the Mayday pole. And Murphette film it.
Also had a wonderful meal with scallops wrap in bacon, stuff morels, margaritas, apples, bananas sliced and I furnish strawberry short cake.

 Not sure exactly what, when, and who I will be blogging. Quite a few of my tulips are coming a long nicely. But it having a battle with the quack grass.
Some of my iris are forming and showing heads.
