Beautiful and Creative Meme Number Nine

Life doesn't play fair when it comes to keep ones ducks in roll. It been about six weeks since I took part in SKYWATCH FRIDAY or PAINT PARTY FRIDAY.
Been doing some thinking of my creative out let and goals for 2019. One thing I know I will continue on with my tarot cards. I don't see, well I know I won't do anything until after Christmas.
Then also I want do a calendar page each month.
But when it comes to clouds and weather I have no control. Yes I know some will and could bring up climate change. Statement time...we all can all down size our carbon foot print.


Had to did though my archives of photos. This is last year at this time, and no snow either time. For other sky photos CLICK HERE


It been a while since I shown any of my tarot cards, and this is my version of king of wands. A little bit king of wands.
Well three of possible positive traits are...leader, respects others, and daring to be different.
But when positive there also the side of negativity..self righteous, boorish, and bitter.
Although one needs to remember when reading the tarot cards what cards are surrounding them. And also the cards can't predict anyone future.

Wednesday Meme Number Twenty One

On Wednesday I like to take part in three meme and first I will start off with Words for Wednesday and our host is ELEPHANT CHILD and not quite ready to use both sets of words. So I will be using lower section of words which are dimension, raid, weed, admiration, corner, and employ.

The dimension of people has change of the year in town of Bogus at one the value of people there was in dollar value. But a person character didn't yell or even come close to a whisper.
As long someone had money and more they had more moral and ethics they had. Even a capital offence could be bought  in court room. But some thing like a simple a snack bag of weed could give a person 7 years of prision labor and later on found to be a form of slavery.
Slow the towns people of Bogus start to meet at some of local corner coffee shop and talk over what been happening Bogus.
Many years or even close to half centry there was gang you went around murdering with malice. Since gang leader grand father was a high mucky muck He only got five hours of community service. No jail or fine. 
After that people took to the street with protest and one Saturday after noon raid(ed) the Mayors office and rest of city hall. It took a few years to complete over turn the goverment and redue the treasury system. 
People were employ still put no one got paid for working. They earn there living by being a decent human and doing the correct thing toward there fellow humans.
Soon people could have admiration on equeal stand as long money didn't judge.



 For ABC wednesday is letter "U" and after you click letter U then click on frog over yonder to see more letter U.
My letter U is word "Under" I know I should pull out everything under my dresser and see what happens.
But before that I believe I will tackle the closet in guest room. And I don't see doing that before Yule. Plenty to do there also.

No Can See

Didn't put much time and still not sure if I want to add AdSense to my blog or not. Simple because I know it wouldn't bring me enough income in that would be able to quite my day job.

The items I had sitting out for the thrift store, it got delivered today. Most items were candles. And one pair of shorts with I believe is a 26 inch waist.
It been a long while since I had a waist that small.

This morning I want to find my paper work from work, which I did a mistake on. I thought I place in a certain box that I put my non what every stuff, that I had in my living room so I can put up my snow people collection, and guess what it wasn't in box. Well I became frustrate. This evening I did find it and now ready to take it back and correct it.

After I drop off items at thrift store. I took short walk on south hill of Bonners Ferry. I find it refreshing when take a walk.

I start to set up my Yule alter. Well I got most of it done and I need to cleanse my stones. They just don't feel right.

Weigh in at T.O.P.S meeting and I want to maintain my weight under 205 for the holiday season. Loosing this time year usual some what more difficult.
But at beginning of 2018 I weigh in at 218 and I just call it 220. So actual I lost 13 pounds this year. But still there a possibility to loose and get below 200 pounds.

Well I did some changes on my blog. A new back ground simple and bright. Took out some blogs that haven't been around for over six months. I might have to google "Who been blogging the longest" I been blogging since 2005 and I was afraid I wouldn't have anything to say or run out of topics.
I add anther "coffee drinker" to my blogs I like to stop by on fairly often. CUPS ON BUS.

My Kettle Is Burnt On

I am clutterolic and Confession time...I will loudly grip in my thoughts about people who can't keep there paper work organized.
This morning I had two lock stock goals or things I want and needed to complete. One was get once again my dinning room table clear off, and some how I need to disconnect those giant magnets.
Then my other goal was to take of some personal bureaucracy so I can finish up my 2019 health insurance for our affordable health insurance and make quarterly payment on my taxes.
Had a little trouble finding the paper work I needed or I should say "They needed"
I try not to call the "Kettle Black" or give reason to fall in deep dark kettle. Or one can say PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTION

At times I look at adding AdSense to my blog and you tube. I have consider at first placing them part of my blog.
Why not add to my blog and such. I might as well get some doubloon toss at me.
It's pretty easy to find optimistic view on making big money with these PEOPLE and I decided to take gander at three of there blogs...Well I thought I was post three blogs, but come right down to it. To me there plenty boring to me. I like to hear about someone story.
Lets do a little bit of math...Well let take it at twenty five cent a click and I know they pay more. Like any business there over head and nothing clear profit.
But there bloggers it would be worth invest more such as PEREZ HILTON
In last 30 days I had 5,985 viewers and let just call it 6,000 and I know some of just came by and left as quickly.
Let say 60 people click on my add on posts in month time. Like I said at twenty five cent that would equal up to $15.
Not enough for one to quite there day job. But $15 for my self would...
1. Would pay for almost three days on my water bill
2. Would pay not quite two days of Internet bill
3. Five gallon of gas
4. Purchase five gallon of milk
5 The fifteen would purchase a package of socks and undies, with a little left over.
6. Two pack of cigarettes for those who still smoke.
7. Well it pretty much cover two days of my eclectic bill
8. One could purchase about five cups of coffee in cafe
9. Purchase 3 to 4 pounds of butter.
10. One and half yards of fabric.

I might as well figure this out and I guess every bit helps.

It Will Be Some Other Thing or Project

Been busy last couple of days. Got back from Big Horn Lodge over by BIG HORN LODGE over by Noxon Mt.
Before I go to far into my post. I'm doing before and after photo of cleaning off my tables of such in my living room.
Well the after ones will be at end of post.
I went on dusting binge even at work. I clean off of one of Regis shelves he has quite a few Marvel and DC figurines and what I could wash in sink I did. There were a few I wasn't comfortable tossing in sink.
But when I got home I decided to clear off all the tables and toss way the garbage. Put the non holiday items in box. Confession stuff...It stuff that doesn't necessary needs to be back on living room tables. I swear my tables have super powerful magnets.
Lot of people uses vinegar for cleaning and EVERY WONDER WHY VINEGAR is a good cleaner.

Confession time...I need to look into how to operate the flash on my camera and there plenty more for me learn about my camera.
Actual I didn't think I would find anything to take into the thrift stores, but I did. Candles mainly.

Well on way home from Montana we were in town of PONDERAY and stop in at Burger King. It's right by a Walmart and I have never shop on black friday and I just been to scared to. It seem some one gets kill or injured. I just don't know anything I need that bad to risk my life for. I know there diffidently nothing I want that bad.
But at that time of day it look fairly calm and thought of a lease walking in and checking it out. To see what all the excitement. But I didn't.

Did a little small business shopping today. Or home town shopping. Almost ready to leak out what I got.

I don't see taking down my shelves item tommorw in living room. It look like I will once again clean off my dinning room table. It also has super powerful magnet.
And I have adult obligation I need to take care of. Like send in my taxes and line up the paper work for my Affordable Health Insurance coverage.



One of these table I will set up my yule altar and I have my altar supplies out or lease part of it. Then the other two table I will set up my snowman, woman and family collection. Plus put up my candle carousel.
Not sure when tree will go up. Thinking the first part of December. My goals is to put up the snow people collection and such last week of November.

Wednesday Meme Number Twenty

This time I have my finger cross that I can complete the three memes, Words for Wednesday and you can see them at ELEPHANT'S CHILD and I will using the top words only
Transparent, solve, theory, loot, take, and wing.

It looks like it will take a while to solve why Second Great Dad John has possible led two different lives. Was it possible he had two families and used and alias
And what was he trying to cover.
John was a cobbler and I'm sure he wasn't rich. One family he is shown with a wife and with 10 children. His one son Charles is listed under the two different census. Birthday and all info matches to tee.
Is there a way of pulling some loot doing this. Possible heist of great wealth.
I been trying to solve the mystery of who Great Grand grandpa Charles dad would be. Could it possible Histon and John the same person.
The story of John and or Histon keeps changing and coming up with new clues. And with dead ends
All sorts of theory and it looks like he could possible be wanted by the law. Or some deep dark family secret  that needs to be tuck under a wing, and kept quite.
As today and days gone by families and such wasn't going to be transparent about certain things. There nothing new under the sun.

For the letter T I'm using word tower. There a clock tower hooked to City Hall in Bonners Ferry. I have no clue of the history of this clock or tower.
For other things start with letter "T" please stop in at ABC WEDNESDAY

Letting Go Or Chasing Them Off


I finely got that area in our basement gone. All went to the local thrift stores. I even tackled a small project of a son called book shelf.
Before I even started I was going to deleted down by 10% and that was heading to a thrift store.





These are the books that I took to a local thrift store. Not sure exactly where I will be going on to next as for down sizing project. I don't see my self going gang buster till after Yule and Christmas.


This morning I made a "yule banishing spray" or called my "naughty spirit zapper"
SUPPLIES
moon water
measure cup or something easy to pour out of, if needed.
Spray bottle
baking soda
Measuring spoon
Stones: Jet, Apache Tear, Black Kyanite and onyx
Frankincense essential oils

First of all cleanse your supplies. I did mine with sage and even supplies like measuring spoons. First thing heat up maybe a quarter cup of water so you can dissolve one tablespoon of baking soda. And this for a neutralizer.
So once you get baking soda and water dissolved. Which I found to be hardest part of entire thing. Had to shake it for bit.
Drop stones as mention above into spray bottle. If you need to get stones make sure they will fit down the neck of the spay bottle.
Fill rest with moon water and add 2 to 4 drops of frankincense essential oil. Depending on quality of essential oil
This is for about one cup sprayer....Baking soda seems to settle remember to shake well before use.

She Celebrated Her Birthday With Little Help

Yesterday we celebrated Liz birthday. And Actual it today. But she went deer hunting today. So Regis and I did a birthday thing. Not much. But sometime simpler things are the better way to go.

Her son had to work and gave her beautiful set of flowers. He works over meat department at Super One.

And I got her puzzle vase. And I might even look at possible others for gifts.

And Regis gave her a farm set

So we, which we would be Regis, Liz and I went to the Christmas Vintage market down at the local fair grounds. Well before I share our day.
Those who were sponsoring the market was blatantly following Liz around like stink on shit. Every one has there shopping style.
She not a hurry up and shop type. She likes to browse at every thing.
I know she has had stick fingers before. But I will give her benefit of doubt that she every swipe anything local, or for ages.

If I haven't bought my items. I doubt I would of purchase the few items I did. I doubt I will return next year. At this time I can't think of anything I need or want.
Didn't have much in snow people way.

My parents had one of these German Tree Topper. And every year I pick up some new and different ornaments for our tree.

well before I share my photos I took.Statement time... I have to wonder if these people who sponsored are Christians and there view of "forgiveness" it seem those who are heavy into Christanity is one who don't want to be judge and quickly forgiven. But there quick to  judge others forget the jury and go straight to execution.


After wards we went over to memorial hall and had a treat put on by SOUL SHINE.
For drinks Regis had Pepsi and us ladies had a cup of coffee. Then Regis got plate of lemon bars most of them went home with him. Had a small sample a little over sweet.
Liz got her self a slice of Pecan pie and even had few bites of it.
I got a tiny box of ginger snap cookies and took them home, for hubby and I to enjoy.

Flame Only Burns For A Limited Time

Lost it in the cyber space. I had a story written out for WORDS FOR WEDNESDAY and poof it was gone.
I had other items to take care of. So hopeful next Wednesday I can come up with fictional story.
And I also like to take part in WORDLESS WEDNESDAY and also ABC WEDNESDAY. Hope some of you have time to enjoy some of the wonderful photo.






Took Regis shopping at local thrift store. He got a few items for his friend. I sort of know what he got his friend.
Well his friend birthday is Saturday.
I got some baby clothes for my grand daughter in Oregon. 
I rarely purchase new clothes for grand daughters. Only time I get new clothing is major holidays. They just out grow them to quickly.
These only cost me ninety nine cents each. I picked actual six items and total was $5.94 plus six percent sale tax.
. We got our side wall up. That was very important to us. Didn't want and one slipping in the basement stair well. The last thing to be done before snow start to fly is to put piece of plywood over the basement.
Next spring or so we finish up the side entrance to the place.

It's Up and It Will Be Down

Wonder why I do the things I do. And there tons of them. Or maybe I should real not give them weight.
Confession time...I stick food in my mouth unwilling. 
I did loose quite bit of weight. My goal was to loose about 20 pounds this year. I got down to 202 and did gain back 5 pounds. Today I had weight lost of half of pound, with my weight lost group of T.O.P.S
I sort of falter a bit and slowly starting to get back track.

One thing I start to put to gather a hot pot holders. Actual I got sewing machine and actual sewed a few of piece together.
Well I use my kitchen or dinning room table to put my sewing machine on.
In simple term, it can be pain in the kutuchy.
I have a big desk in my basement that I could leave my sewing machine set up.
The reason why I only got a few piece sewn together was about time to start dinner. And also I needed to set up the iron, that I could press up my seams.
Not sure when I will chance to set up the sewing machine in basement. The pipe to wood stove needs to be connected.
It cool down there.

I got the bi yearly bill paid. Our vehicle and property taxes I paid, and hubby hospital part. That medicare didn't  pick up.
Opinion time...I think everyone should be on medicare. Not saying a free ride either. I believe everyone should pay one to three percent of there income for one payer system Even possible a deductible. 

Call my oldest and see how everything is going. No sleep yet. They have four month old. I do recall lack of sleep with both of my sons.
Sawyer being the first one. I heard every peep that kid made. I didn't know new Born's made sleeping noice. So I know I walk around like a bobble head.
Then the next one was a lot easier, experience is amazing thing.
If I had the third one. I properly would just stuck it closet. "Just Kidding"
My son invited up down for Christmas when I was visiting last. They bought a house and looks like the owners won't be out before Christmas.
Well I told Sawyer that's ok. There Easter that we could come down. So I told him mid December I will mail there gifts.
I've never flown during the holidays and he also want his brother Bart and his family to come down.

Who's On The Bench

I have wonder how things pop up on social media or how things might be placed on a google search.
Let briefly do an experiment...Going do a brief search for "Slipper how to make them"  The first one to pop up is SPRUCE CRAFTS.
And last two is from E HOW and FELT SLIPPERS from the same site. Then on the very bottom of page is MOOGLY BLOG and there seven ways of making slippers.
So how and who decides in which order these sites comes up.

Well even facebook I wonder who on the bench and you are players. And I will try to make this as brief as possible.
When I went over to facebook these 12 things our or were on my news feed.
1. Friend made a post
2. Sponsored post "Windows Micro Soft"
3. Friend made a post
4. Friend shared a video (Armadillo)
5. First posting from a group I belong to (World Wide Hippie)
6. Second posting from a group I belong to (Scrappy Girl Club)
7. Friend shared a post (facebeak Aviaries)
8. Sponsored post (Lego)
9. Friend Shared a post (Egg Nog by Noshery)
10. Friend shared a picture (Truth and Lie meet one day)
11. Budget 101. (Not sure who and what this is completely)
12. Friend shared a video (Dogie)
Let just say why does Ruth post shows up on my page but Angela doesn't.
Complete understand why social media have to run ads. I doubt any individual would pay for social media. I know I wouldn't I would be closing my accounts if I had to pay for it.
But friends and family who set on bench and who plays.

Welcome All That Would End All

Today we were in United States and other place in world is recognizing our veterans. Before I have recognize family and friends who served in our armed force.
Statement time...Thank you.

But this time I'll be taking a little different spin on veterans day. It was celebration of end of WORLD WAR ONE and then it was called, ARMISTICE DAY.
World War One was a war to end all wars. Even there a book with same TITLE.
I don't have the complete answer to end war, and bring peace. But first things in Opinion time....if there were no financial value to war. I believe it would decrease big time.
take a few minutes and google different place we been to war with and there natural resource.
Although I know there other factors that brings on war, but I still believe if no financial gain we will have less wars.
I know some one will point out the cost of taking care of our veterans. Well two things I will point out. Less war means less injuries...and the Veterans and Military is fund though different department.

If you notice that the percentage of military spending is over 50% and the veteran who serves there budget is 5%. No wonder there crisis of homeless vets.
DEFENSE CONTRACTORS is usual the ones who profit with wars. And leaves young men and woman with all sort of issues.
Editor Note...I was trying to find a graph on spending with out and political party attachments.

Just a little more on the up coming week. I sure hope things and I can take steps to more of calmer existent.
I once did my plans for the week. Nothing full steams a head.
Mainly for crafts I want to get back on doing hot pot holders. I had quite list of people I want to give them to. Well since Murphy went though the shingles my list of who gets them got smaller.
There always 2019.

On my way home I stop at AMY'S DONUTS in Spokane Valley. It seem there web page isn't up to date.
This is place where those who trying to dumb a few pound to go.
Well I only bought a half dozen of these babies. Well they were place in the freezer in basement. Sort of like "out site out of mind" and one can't have a little something so on Thursday I will and or share a goody with hubby.

Took down and picked the outside Halloween decoration.  As for trees around here there mainly bare a few have color leaves, but ready to come off.

Confession time...I don't spend equal time or fair amount of time with facebook groups or pages I have.
I actual mange two face book groups...PAGAN CREATIVITY GROUP and NORTH IDAHO HOME AND GARDEN
On the other hand I have two pages one is to share my creative side, NICE AND NIFTY STUFF. Then I have one for my blog HAVING COFFEE WITH PEPPYLADY

Just Not Going To

It sloppy and wet here in North Idaho, yesterday we had our first snow fall. And now since it warm up a bit.
I have on black canvas shoes and not friendly toward slop. To lazy to put proper foot ware to go out and do what needs to be done outside.

Things are slow getting back to normal. As Murphy went to town I pick up a bit around the place. Organize bill we had three unexpected ones came in, hospital, property tax, and vehicles insurance. Well I'm thankful I do have funds to cover all of this, and have some left over to take care of daily life, like breathing.

Trying to figure out what to get for those on my Yule list. And this article says most of us will spend over ONE THOUSAND, and I wonder if this covers extra food and such.
As for my grand daughters each will recieve two toys, outfit, pajamas, and the two younger ones will get two books, and my older one will get a one book and dvd.
Plus plenty of hugs and kisses.
Then there those filling in gifts and such.

With things being on lightly bumbing ride of life. It looks like I can get back doing some crafts. I had plan to make up bunch of hotpot holders for Yule. Well reality smack my face and it not going to happen.
Still I can work on them. Like drawing my tarot cards, and my hot pot holders. I won't get what I want to do, but that's ok.

I was going to go off on happening with President Trump but decided there more better things to share and talk about.

I found this site called SPOON FLOWER it place were one can design there own wall paper, gift wrap, fabric, and other cool items.
I don't like using the word "Never" and when I do use "That word" I end up eating crow.
It very doubtful I will buy anything from this company before end of year. Maybe sometime in 2019 and like every year, there 365 days.

First Post In November

It been a while since I posted on my blog. Usual I do a monthly report using a Personal insight, and I will still do it.
I went down to Medford Oregon to visit my son and his wife. Also grand daughter #2 any how I have three grand daughters, and no grand sons.
Well we took a trip up to Crater Lake.
Got a quite a few photos of my trip off my phone, but can't get on my lap top.

Things got a little behind, but I know it never been caught up. But Murphy is doing a lot better. Going to work and taking care of him was some what of a juggling act.

Today Regis and I went to Sandpoint he had doctor appointment and on way back we stop at Walmart. He did shopping and I didn't get a single things. I guess one could say I took mental notes of possible yule gifts this up coming year.

Here is the result from PERSONAL INSIGHT
You are shrewd and skeptical.
You are philosophical: you are open to and intrigued by new ideas and love to explore them. You are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself. And you are deliberate: you carefully think through decisions before making them.
Your choices are driven by a desire for organization.
You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and taking pleasure in life. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.
