Believe Me I Am Not Three Sheets In Wind

Now Will This Work

As many as you know I've mention of being caught up in the facebook web. Confession time...it seem I get trapped into facebook web.
Although I real don't care about likes and such. But I'm checking in to much to see if there any new post. Like I'm going to miss something. Confession time...Like I need to be middle of facebook action. And also they seem to be a lot of angry people out in facebook land.
Not sure if it will work or not. But I would like to visit my groups or creativity and leave my personal page a lone for the entire month of June.
Sure I worked late yesterday and finish up my blog post. Headed right of to facebook and kept checking my news feed to see if anything had changed.

I am so so about twitter. Simple I real don't get it.

My fav is blogging. It me I can make it what I want or need.

Next two is tied between Instagram and you tube. Instagram reminds me of saying A PICTURE IS WORTH 1000 WORDS and should be as powerful as any words.
Video and other social media I like variety of content.

Wednesday Pop Up Meme Number Thirty Seven

I end up getting my words over at ELEPHANT CHILD and this time I decided to use odd number ones 1, 3, 5 and such
Solitude, Toes, knocking, Reel, Perfume, and Squad

Several of Reels were empty. It was becoming some what hard and frustrating to do up quilts. Aunt Harriet who done tons of quilts for all of local school children when they enter kindergarten.
Had been having a hard time getting in Glade which is town south any how the town of Lanner to the north is half the distant but they don't have much in line of supplies.

A couple of nights ago there were a yellow object floating about in the cottage and Aunt Harriet always had visitor of wraith quite often. Not sure why but she had a way of making people feel welcome.
One such wraith floating about and had moved on. Was wearing some light perfume which she didn't recognize. But she want to get a smell close to it.
But she was quite up set when that one wraith stop by and kept knocking over items. Not sure if was drunk ghost. But she expect her visiting ghost to behave civilly and she end up telling the ghost to leave.

Since quilting was put on back burning she decided to clean out the lower cabinets as she was cleaning and scrubbing and some how possible broke her toe. Aunt Harriet was never one to go to the doctor. She had always question the term "practicing medicine"

Things calm down and look like Tuesday of next week she would be able to go down to Glade. She recently got a new app called squad on her phone, which now help to keep track of fabrics. So she could match them up better with other fabric and match things up a lot better. Plus she was getting a little tired of having a solitude life the friendly ghost were fine, but she need other than her friendly ghost.

Ms Terri our host for WEDNESDAY MELODY have once  again came up with some wonderful question, base from "Paper Clips"

1.  Wow!  Had you ever heard of the Holocaust project involving paperclips?  It is a great teaching project, for sure!  No I haven't heard of the paperclip project, a wonderful way of bring up issue of prejudice. 

2.  Have you ever created a paperclip chain?  How long did it get? Recently our weight lost group, T.O.P.S divided up to teams and had a contest using paper clips for a motivation to loose weight. So each weight lost you add a paper clip and if you gain you lost. So at end of six weeks the one with longest paper clip got around of applause.

3.  I use paperclips as hooks at Christmas time to put ornaments on the tree.  Works like a charm!! What is something you used a paperclip for, other than holding papers together? Paper clips are quite multi usable and I have used them in quilting. I found some cool things to do with PAPER CLIPS  

4.  I am amazed at the shapes and colors of paperclips available.  I found my favorite... share your favorite with us here! I have to say I wouldn't know which shape I would get. I would get variety box 

5.  Say goodbye to May on this last Wednesday of May.  Be poetic if you will, or simply bid it adieu.  May had blessings and now it time to move on til June.

6.   Tell us something about your week so far, please! Been organize my fabrics by color and size. And I don't know why but I'm working on my facebook ADDICTION I have other social media accounts like Instagram that doesn't get my feathers in hackle. 

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

Life As Algebraic Story

Algebra and I sure weren't friends. And I only did what one would call Pre Algebra or Algebra 1 and end up getting a pity D.
The other day one some news story I saw a class of teaching as one life story. Confession time...To me numbers and letters don't go to gather. 
But for some reason this way of teaching and learning algebra did perk and interest in me.
Question time...could you do your life story or autobiography as an algebra problem?

Been going though my two totes of fabric in basement. Sorting by color and size.

Just finished up black and grey. I made choice to put them only by size.

Now also need to go though the beige and browns. To see how the best way to organize these two colors.
Then it on to creams, white, pinks, and those fabrics I can't figure out the main back ground color.
I should be done with the basement fabric. Then it on to the fabric in this room.

Still reading about creativity and the brain. It been so interesting. Why and how we are creative. Look at these people who at later YEARS start blooming the one past comes to mine is GRANDMA MOSES and LYN SLATER the accidental icon.

Wednesday is one of those pop up things I do. Well I won't go into much but for wordless Wednesday is photo of sorting fabrics.
Although the photo above is part of prop I will be using in You Tube Video and hopeful I will have it post on Thursday.

It Seem To Be All Over

Part of winning the lottery and nothing wrong with dreaming a bit. But like most places we here in our quint little town there a residential shortage for low income.
And HUD (housing...urban...development. seem to be a outdated on what things are real at. I was actual think of using the term little outdated.
Depends were one hang there hat. But each area of possible HUD housing will have limited amount for let say one bedroom, two bedroom, and such.
I believe a two bedroom here was about $600 and something, which should cover the utilities. So the government thinks one should be able to find a two bedroom home and turn the lights plus cover water, sewer, garbage, and such.
The tenant amount they would be pay depending on which HUD there under. They will pay 20 to 30% of there income, and there a few deduction they may have. I know medical is one of them.
So a person who receiving there income from SSI is $771 a month, so they would pay $231 a month for there rent.
But finding a rental for $600 a month that would pass inspection
I did end up finding a HOME RENT LIMITS My numbers are off a bit.
Question time...Is there a housing shortage and what does housing cost in your area? 
Did mention how I would take care of my sons and there DESCENDANTS But I would like to do up some decent homes for low income housing. These homes or might be call plex. But each one this would have small fence yard, and place for possible a small garden. With a community room.
Rent price would be 65% less then HUD limits. A four bedroom here would go for $535 instead of $827.
If anyone wonder how many units I would do in my community it be 16 units.
Some time in resent time I did post called TAKE A NUMBER PLEASE and I thought every thousand points one these major company can donate $1.00 Statement time....If I knew any of these major companies would use these points for better of people kind. I would be quite likely to take part in filling out these points or rating a business.

As for organize fabrics just finished up the orange and purple, even nicely put in there spots. Pull out all grey and blacks fabrics. But still need to size them up.

Not As I Planned.

Saturday I was going to one of my weight lost members who son died in sleep. I was planning to go to the funeral.
And also reorganize my fabric.
But I woke up, but it actual start the night before. I went to bed Friday with the bed spins and I had them in my younger years from to much party. It was sort of scary and I was actual thinking of having Murphy take me to emergency room. And I also even thought I might of even got drug but couldn't figure where and who. Then there also the why.
I woke up so darn sore and in a lot of pain. We have some mussel relaxer and I end up taking half of one.
Sure it helped a bit, but I was in pain for most of day.

One thing we had the neighbor help carry our air conditioner out of the bedroom. And they need a post hole digger. We had two of them.
Actual it went super smooth but it in. I understand right after memorial day it pose to warm right up.

At first I organize my fabric by size one container I had yard or more. Then the other container I had yard or less.
Well I took survey says do it by color and then the second most popular way was by size.
First I decided to sort it by color. Went in to first sort my three basic primary colors.

 Don't worry I had to google to see what the three basic primary color. Just in case you forgot like me, there yellow, red, and blue.
Then I decided how I'll be sort sizes. half yard or more and then half yard or less. Well I got the red complete done.
But on the other two colors yellow and blue still need coordinate the sizes.

Then I will start sorting out the secondary colors orange, green, and purple. Hopeful it will be done before end of month.

I finely got my battery in zip bit. I watch a you tube about Queen Victoria about her letters and journal. Her children burn some of her writings.

Don't Want To Over Indulge

A lease I do dream of winning a big lottery. I believe I know I would first hire a lawyer and account.
Now second I would do is take care of my sons and there family.
Pay for a public university education up to a masters of there choice. And this will hold to wives and my grand children.
Pay off half of there home.
Set up one million dollar retirement account for both of my son. Which they can't touch until there 55 years old. Which will grow from interest and both of them are stable and they can do as they please once they hit 55.
Why this not a total hand out. People including my self and son needs to stay ground and balance.
Sure with that big winnings one could pay off there homes off. But I believe they need to feel the ups and downs of home ownership.
It seem like today I've seen people with a bachelors that real don't amount to hill of beans. My son both have tech or trade school degrees and there doing quite well.
As for my self. I know retirement isn't going to be picnic. Confession time...It both some choices and cards I was deal.
not placing blame on anyone.
I have small retirement set a side. My full retirement age will be 67 and I figure I should be getting about the same amount my husband does. Right now he gets $810 and usual they have increase in living. So I'm guessing in 2027 it will be right around $895, So combine income would be about just under $1,800 a month,
But when I come sixty three I will look into my opinion of drawing marital benefits from social security.
Which is different then widow. What I would like to do is draw marital benefits off my husband and see if I can continue working and keep paying into my social security.
MONEY EXCHANGE
Not trying to brag but I can be quite thirty. One time I figure how cheap I could live on $625 and nothing better go wrong and zero chance for errors. Plus I would have to give up some stuff.

Big project for weekend is to sort my fabric by color and size.

My blog of yesterday POP UP which was post fairly late. Not sure if it made any since. Well today I won't be going to work until noon. My hours been used up and if we go over we don't get paid. This is an issue that needs to be address in personal care as others.


Went with Liz she got a new couch, new to her. It still on back of pick up. Here anther issue they need to address in personal care in on home. The difference between institutional and taking care of person in there home.
Got a chance to explore a new area. I look at life as adventure some good and bad. Learning all the time.
So this coming Monday is our MEMORIAL DAY PARADE but I was wondering if other place CELEBRATE Memorial day. Looks like some place might consider Veterans and Memorial day the same thing.

Wednesday Pop Up Meme Number Thirty Six

It been a week for my Wednesday meme...

1.  Have you ever done a spur-of-the-moment road trip?  Where did it take you?...I don't know if I would called it a spur of moment road trip. But I don't try to drive the same route. Like to see different things and expand my mind.

2.  If time and money wasn't an issue, what roads would you choose to travel and how long would you be gone? I always want to get a map of world out and just toss dart and go there and explore. Plus also go were my ancestors have lived.  

3.  When you go on a long road trip, what snacks and beverages do you take?  Do you pack a picnic? Does the back seat turn into a nest?  Picnics and also a cafe a great way of trying new and different foods.

4.  Please tell us about something interesting or strange you have seen on the side of the road. Can't come up with anything.

5.  Who does the driving when you head out in the car?  Do you stop in the rest areas along our Interstate highways when you have to use the facilities, or do you choose a fast-food restaurant or gas station instead?  Not TMI... inquiring minds want to know! I would have to say I do most driving when comes to my husband and I. When we visiting our children they drive. So glad to take a back seat. 
Don't eat much at gas station, once in while will get some nuts.

 6.  Please share something with us about your week so far. Like to add to the question above...when I go on road trip or visit a new area such. I try to take something for art abandonment. I been doing a lot better marking things off in my bullet journal. And hopeful putting my lunch out so I almost step on it will help me remember to take it.

If you want to take part or read others response to Wednesday Medley from host TERRY

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY


It seem I'm press for time but I like to take part in "Words For Wednesday" and I only use one set of the words. So here are this week words I will be using...CHRONIC, SLIPPERS, STRETCHING, CHUCKLED, TECHNICAL, PRACTICE.  

Quite being so Technical I know what I said but your making it in to more then it needs to be. Plus I know why you take the easy thing and turn it in chronic problems.

No the letter from county doesn't mean there going to repossesses the property. Only thing the letter is claiming is that they didn't receive last half of payment on property taxes. That an easy one to take care of. One can go on line and see if property been paid or not. So we went on line and just couldn't find were it was paid. Plus I knew it was paid.

My feet was tired from work I was on a ladder and washing down some wall, every muscle seem to be sore. So a few minute of stretching and hot bath with salts would be ticket.
After the bath I put on the pink slippers those fuzzy ones.

So dear husband was getting the crankies and kept saying the sheriff  will auction off the place. My respond was "Won't Robin Hood and his Merry Men save us from Sheriff Nottingham"
Well I got back on the computer and it took less in three minute and found where the payment on taxes went thought.
Suggest to my hubby he need to practice not having such a piss poor look on life.

Editor note...On the story above I'm super tired from work and toss something to gather. Didn't have time to come up with any charters or give them name.

For more fun story please visit ELEPHANT CHILD.

I Know I Said A Few Naughty Words

I know I said "shit" but the strange thing I don't recall why. Didn't work today but did a few things around place like clean out both my cars.

Went to T.O.P.S and weight plus stayed for the meeting. We talk about body image and it not about teenage girls having a body image.
For my self I am small shoulder depend on style I should be able to wear a medium or small. But then there the boob to fit around my boob I need a large or extra large.
So if it fits in my shoulder know way it going to fit me in the boob area. Then if it fits me boob area it so large over the shoulder.
When I go clothing shopping. I take the max amount into the dressing room to try on. And if there no max I will take a stack in that over six inches high.
So I figure one to three items will fit. I have only took a few items in the dressing room to try on and if nothing fit. My eyes will tear up.

Haven't talk or post much on my sewing project. I have plenty of fabric. Had to clean some small cut fabrics the other day. The cats took there naps on the fabric.
Well there plenty of project for fabric is less then four inches. Well I just toss it. But anything bigger I just kept.
Take my word in my totes I have fabrics of all sizes including 4 inches or less.
Right now my fabric is organize by size and that not working. So I made poll up for three of my sewing groups on facebook dealing with organizing fabrics.
In all groups color was the number one way of organizing fabric. Then by combination which would include color, size and or design. Then for third two different group one suggested by type and the other was by project.
Well I can a lease sort by color and not sure which step to take or if I need to take step. 

Bad news I was up a pound...I keep with in my bounds, next time I should be down.

Now Who Out There

Weed waked grass around the garden and read a little more about the brain and creativity. Few big words when it came to anatomy of brain. More I read it end I came up with more question. I guess no time soon I will be doing brain surgery.
But I been finding study of brain quite interesting.

Went down to Sandpoint to meet the new form pagan group. Three of Sandpoint local pagan ladies were there.
We meant at Starbucks and one of there workers seem interested in our group. A friend and I went down.
Well two main reason is to offer friendship and invited them up to one of our gathering. I don't want my personal address floating around on facebook, mostly here in North Idaho.
So June first I will he hosting a pagan get together there always something to CELEBRATE
First time I every heard of high magic or it seem to pop on web as CEREMONIAL MAGIC.
My pagan path or I would classify my self as ECLECTIC PAGANISM in simple term a non denominational pagan or sometime known as path walker.
Two things I don't feel comfortable doing in spiritual world is OUIJA BOARD or SEANCE. Simple I don't have the knowledge or background to be in this arena.
Can connect with my guides in form of angles, spirit guides which can be many things, human, animal, elements, planets, and etc.
Not much into deities. But I seem to be pulled to Celtic, Aztec, and African.

Sure hope I didn't scare any of you.

Might Need to Change it Up a Bit

Been trying to figure how to organize my purse. Well I did change my purse. But I got these single clip hanger things. It gets up and off the table. But it takes up a lot of room.
Confession time...Just got to much stuff. 

Well got your bi yearly letter from Medicaid for personal care givers. Well won't bother you with every little detail of it.
Statement time....there is a difference between institutional care and taking care of someone in there home. 
But medicaid has it set up and looks at everyone  the same. And all of medicaid clientele have exactly the same needs.

Trying to figure out how I can mark off my list and give my self credit of things that I accomplished. One thing I know I do is procrastinate. I say to my self. Well I have this thought like...I only did three things I will wait and mark it off and then when comes to that time. And I still have the thought of later.
I need to come up with a plan. Let say regardless how much I do I need to mark it off and give my self credit.

Friday I was pretty much beat from work and I made up next week bullet journal, May 19 to 25. Like I said I need to make sure I give my self credit and then it will be a good habit.

Started to read Centennial Health....The Secrets of  Creativity and I found this statement some what thought provoking..."We Judge creativity by the magnitude of the response evokes"
One of very first creativity time was telling stories around the campfire during the cave dwellers.
Can see this after a great hunt or gathering. Sit around the fire sharing how ones day went with a few cool adjectives to make more interesting. Or lease your life might sound not as hum drum and boring.
"Insights percolate in the brain before they pop into conscious mind"
The word percolate means to be put though a sieve.
There was brief quiz in the book and it covered 5 areas of mind and creativity. Extroversion, Agreeableness, Conscientious, Emotional Stability, and Openness.
On all five area I was in middle. Not saying I scored exactly same but it was in middle range.

Do you recall the game called KING OF THE HILL I played. But now the metaphor and Hierarchy. Pecking order in life.
Question time...Compare to game of king of the hill where do you like to be in present time? I like to be about two thirds up the hill.
At the button you get dirt and crap toss at you.
On the very top someone(s) is trying to push you down.

Yesterday Tomorrow and Some Where In Between

Usual on Wednesday I do a what I call a "Pop Up" I do three of them one of them is called "Words on Wednesday" it usual a list of words but sometime a photo or a video and one try to build a story from these prompts.
And the other two is Wordless Wednesday and it pretty much self explanatory wordless is not using words to express one self. Well it to share some photos.
Then last one I take part is Wednesday Medley a set of six questions
I decided to do you tube video. Confession time...I feel uncomfortable in front of a camera, although I am slowly getting more comfortable.
But instead my clients and I went geocaching for the first time. It good for them to get out and my self as well. When comes to treasure we're one to one.

Then work isn't all fun and games. But I think it more healthier for my clients to get at a bit, instead of institution relationship with there care giver.
Regis well we went to one stores he left his snap card, stop at the thrift store he got a few things and I just looked.
I did some laundry and clean his back porch and still more need to be done. But I need pruners and there some different size of tree branch and I would guess were planning to make walking sticks or wands.
Not sure what wood is good or total rotten.
Liz and I visit Confession time...I wonder if I upset her telling her about the book I want to read. The APOLOGY BY EVE ENSLER 
But we had a good conversation about the concept of writing apology from some who wrong us. Question time...Could you write a letter of apology to your self and how do you think it would make you feel?
Not sure if I would even know how and it would be force apology or not a true apology.

Then I got a magazine book that got my curiosity called "Centennial Health The Secrets of Creativity" As many of know I've shown my arts and crafts on my blog. Some time it comes right to me, one might say it just pops in out blue.
Then other time I draw a major blank. Like "Hello is any one home"

Still haven't figure out why I can't give my self...self gratitude or praise. I seem not be able to get in habit of marking off the goals in my bullet journal. I ask my self this question "Why is self gratitude important" and I found this short ARTICLE ON SELF GRATITUDE 
Confession time....I don't want my self gratitude to sound prideful.

It Friday and my pop up will be a sky photo and a drawing of one of my tarot cards.

Day Compare To A Week

Friday I was going to visit a few more fellow artist over at PAINT PARTY FRIDAY but things just didn't go that way. So hopeful I can find time to stop in at five artist.

Well Liz out of Behavior health hopeful she keeps the tools she gained. And also my hours are back.
Just paid all of our bills and it sure took a chunk of money out of checking. Thankful I could cover it all and have enough to eat and get to work for the week, possible even tiny bit of luxury.

I been listening some old TED TALKS and all of what I listen to so far been quite interesting. But I wish I knew how to do more then one pod cast at time.

The main reason for this blog post about goals setting and completing one goals.
I used to write out daily to do list and usual I had know trouble completing well over 80% of it. Plus had no trouble marking it off. Once it is completed.

Well now I do just finished up my weekly to do list and goals for week of May 12 to 18. Not much different change from last week goals.
I seem or won't mark off what I completed during the week. But like I said I have no trouble doing it daily.
I know  my goals isn't way out there and wouldn't be impossible to reach and complete.
I won't go into all of them. Here is a small example.
Taking a walk and this is done 3 to 5 times a week, Do two common house hold chores my husband is retire and he can keep up on house.  But I know I do more then two things around the place. Then do something creative daily. Nothing big but work on creative things.
Then I also do new moon goals or monthly goals. May new moon was May 4th. I know I didn't even come close of over whelming my self. But hardly anything been done on my new moon goals.
I have tools to set and complete daily goals. And give my self credit on my completion of daily goals.  But when it comes to weekly or monthly goals it a complete different story. I give my self no credit.

Before I close this post I thought I would share the snow apple tree in bloom.

Beautiful and Creative Pop Up Number Twenty Four

Let face it some time when I drive my clients about. I just sit and by end of the day I feel it. Been a real nice weather. And these photos are taken from my front yard.
SKY WATCH FRIDAY

This is one pages I'm doing for SKETCHBOOK PROJECT which is held at the BROOKLYN ART LIBRARY.
This book is being based on astrology and as the planet Pluto travels though all 12 zodiac signs. Pluto since it so far from the signs, and there will be those who debate Pluto is a planet.  It takes Pluto 248 years to orbit the sun.  Pluto spend about 21 years in each sign. So Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus are consider generational planets.
This sketch page my take on, when Pluto is going though Taurus. The last time Pluto was in Taurus it was from 1853 to 1884 during the AMERICAN CIVIL WAR and RECONSTRUCTION. next time Taurus goes though Pluto will be in 2098 til 2129.
 Question time...how would or what would you do to represent this time period? My ideal came from a bit of family history generation. The country was divide. And one of my family during this period lived in Kentucky which join the CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA but the ford family join the UNION ARMY as they were living in Confederate state.
I wonder how well they got long with there neighbors.
The back ground is done with both eye shadow and chalks. Used different tools to apply the back ground color. One of them and last is a sandwich bag.

It been a while since I painted any rock painting. Usual it slows up here because of the snow. So I hid this one by our local MUSEUM and someone did fine it and re hide it in anther location.

This is one of Artist Trading Cards recently done. The lips are done in lip stick.

Take A Number Please

I was curious about different reward items out there. Earning points and some might even use term...score, credit, mark, notch, and etc.

And when one looks up a business though google. 

One of the place I frequent is "Under the Sun" which has a high rating of 4.9 Then one of our thrift store Second Chance there an animal shelter and they get 4.3 

And at this point one can earn BADGES. I wonder why even as adult might be doing something like this. Google is a big enough company they could do something tangible. Not saying pay people. Let say every 1,000 points they could donate one dollar charitable cause. 

I could think of a few good causes. 

Google isn't the only one who has some type of point system going for them. 

I knew someone who played POGO GAMES and she was so wrap up in it and was so excited when she won and badge. I recall her at times toot her horn. 

I wonder why some one can get some would get wrap up on internet doing reviews and such for points and badges.

What the psychology behind this. 

Question time...How do you feel about self gratification and how do you get yours? 

I can say one thing self gratification is something I'm not comfortable with.

Since My What Every

My work hours been pretty much cut in half. So will my pay. But couple of good things Liz is getting straighten around. Although she did hard way. I won't go into the mental health system although hard. I can't speak on other places. But Idaho is lacking to get any help here you need to be a 50/51 which means your going to out right kill your self or someone.
But here in Idaho if one self cut, harm or and mutilated one self it not going far enough for mental health help.
Question time...How is the mental health service in your area?

But I been getting a few extra things done around here. Today I ran the weed eater and hubby mowed the front yard.
My flowers bed are over grown with grass and chocking things out. So I been pulling and cutting back the grass so light can get in.
Hopeful this fall I can redo my flowers bed. we want to put a smaller tree on North side of our place for shade.

I been back doing some art and crafts. I started back painting rocks. Around here during the snow season it hard to hide and find objects.
I finish my first page for sketchbook project. I will be posting it Friday during PAINT PARTY FRIDAY
And I'm trying to come up with some thoughtful and meaning tag for my say for art abandonment.
Confession time...I wish I had more time to do crafty things and get rid of the clutter around here.

Up a little bit on weigh in this morning. But I been getting my steps in plus a little more. If I keep the steps up I will increase my goal.

Slow Is Key Word

I don't know anyone who has over 10 mega bits for internet speed here. Things don't change all that much and that can be both positive and negative.
Question time...how fast should things change?

Yesterday I down load app for GEOCACHING and it been going for little over nineteen years.  I couldn't tell you how many is in my area. I know there well over 20.

And actual someone hide one in our neighborhood. Although I didn't find it. But it is a good way of getting in a few steps.

I did up my monthly and weekly bullet journal. And I did a page on just case in win the big lottery. Well I guess I could post a little bit of what I written. First thing I would hire a lawyer and account to get my self though it.
Then for my sons and there family Pay off half of there home. And pay for an education at any public university or college, up to a Masters. And this will be done for my daughter in laws and grand children.
And set up a million dollar trust fund or a retirement account they can't touch to there 55 years old.
I doubt I will win lottery any time soon.

If I counted right I belong to 57 facebook groups, and even slightly more, groups. I'm start to delete and unsubscribe to some of them.
Confession time...I like being part of group who takes part in swaps. But over 50 that little much. I wonder what would be healthy amount of groups to be part of on social media sights. Question time....How many groups do you belong to on social media?....How do you choose a group?

Weigh in at T.O.P.S Tuesday Morning.

Story From Town of Bogus

It only a few day for the big award night in town of Bogus. All last few months there been some awards of local area.
The town was buzzing on who where and what. Everyone truly isn't on equal footing that was tried many moons ago to force have the same home colors, everyone had three roses all same color in front of there place, and even the people had a local uniform.
So everyone seem to be hum drum and cruising though life with out and pzazz. But before that only a few had control of the masses.
Money was taken away and went to point system. Like the baby boom and even later generation afterwards but the use stars. Now with all the cool techie stuff it was kept track on a zilda.

Now the big night have came and the local element been practicing getting wind, fire, earth and water to harmonized for tonight award show. So many things to do for the big night.
Lot of food is going to be served. The area farmers had a bumper crop and this year the community will have there ding shing under a new moon and moon is right next to Virgo. Plenty of stars in heavens will be out.

The awards went quite until early hours of morning. Still no sign of the sun. Like any award show the best is always last.
See some thing never change.
The one only Zilda kept track of all. The last awards is good soul. It based on being a good person. Helping others out, being civil, using your manners, and not being negative.
The music was playing "row row your boat" now on this award the winner favorite song is played, everyone just looked puzzled.
Soon last year winner comes to microphone and says..."it not always keeping our spirit of naughtiness under foot. There are those out there will test your kindness and gentleness. This year winner is a 14 year old girl is winner of the Good Soul. Could Miss Rene Parks please come up"

That was the end of award. At each and all exit there is a questionnaire pick up one for each member of your family and fill it out. So Zilda can figure out next year value of each star or point one may get.
Rene said "Please Thank those who help you doesn't matter what they do. Each of us plays important role in our universe.

This is a fiction story from three of the tarot cards I drew.

Beautiful and Creative Number Twenty Seven

Seven cups one might as simple question....am I making the right choice.
This card isn't negative or positive. It about how one makes there choices. Are you looking at all possibility, weighing and measuring the out come. Don't make choices to quickly or do dilly dally around.
When one makes a choice in there life how is going to effect you and those around you. And then what will out come be.

Like to day when I was mowing the lawn I cut off our septic tank pipe. I was in a hurry to get lawn done.

But remember to do a correct reading one needs to consider all the cards. No one can predict the future.

Hopeful next week I will have something other then one of my tarot cards.

Thought I would give a you peak of what I might be posting next Friday. A page from my sketchbook project for the BROOKLYN ART LIBRARY

April Report 2019

Hoping the leaves came about. Although in last month there were snowdrops, crocus, easter hyacinths, grape hyacinths. and tulips.

Keeping my table clean has been struggle. I still think there super magnets that draws everything towards it.

I make up my monthly goals and things I want to do. I forget to marked it off. One is to go though my closets. Slowly things are going. The other day I toss a pair of broken sandals and I wonder how long they been there.

I do wear my fit bit and like above I don't always record my steps. And it says ones needs 10,000 and my goals is 7,500 steps and I have trouble making that. I usual get over 5,000

I feel mental health is as important as physical health. So part of my mental health I like to check in at PERSONALITY INSIGHT

You are genial.

You are philosophical: you are open to and intrigued by new ideas and love to explore them. You are empathetic: you feel what others feel and are compassionate towards them. And you are calm-seeking: you prefer activities that are quiet, calm, and safe.

Experiences that give a sense of discovery hold some appeal to you.

You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and tradition. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you care more about making your own path than following what others have done.

Then I would like to look at this three statements and give a little thought on them..

1. Introverted vs extrovert...As I post I'm more introverted and I came to realize it ok. I thought I was an outcast because I need and want time to my self. 

2. Conscientiousness...Slightly below average. It says lower the number is more spontaneous. I found this some what interesting. Because I do have trouble with people who wish washy. Statement time...I might look into this a little more.

3. Cautiousness... Very high and I can see this. Not sound self center I have pretty good tools to make good choices. I usual when I make a flub I don't repeat it. 

Well of to work.

Wednesday Pop Up Number Thirty Five

It been a while since I posted I been travel and visiting my middle grand daughter. What happen will be part of Wednesday Medley.

But I thought I would share a photo first for...

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

Got words for "Words on Wednesday. Usual there two sets of words, but this time I am going to use the last half of both section....Machine, Flowery, Button, Energy, Unsubstantiated, and Clear.

Not sure if the correct term to explain Wanda beautiful yard word would be "flowery" there plenty of colorful blooms all over. And for miles no weeds. 
But if one looks closer there were a few lilies that got nipped just below the bloom during the night. Now first thing is to look for clear clues. Nothing was really a mess. First glance they were or it was in and out. Just grab the object and go. 
So it was time to gather and take notes on what went on.
If someone was going to pick a flowers for a bouquet of flowers there usual have stems. No stems what would someone need or want a flower cut like this. Or was it cut possible tore.

Wand start to wonder about looking for clues so she could make a clear choice on who the villain or villains might be. As stated before not much damage was done if there would of possible be more damage. So at this point there Unsubstantiated evidence that it was committed by a gang.

So Wanda in hope she could find more clear so she decided to start to work out from the flowerbed. And in hope some more evidence would appear. 
Maybe there tracks or prints. In grass at this time in investigation not much was showing up. The only clear print was Wanda own foot prints. 

In a short bit she notice a button in grass a first clue. The button was more of medium size something you wouldn't use for blouse or a shirt. 
Now maybe in drive way they might be some clear prints.

No foot prints were to be found in drive way. The only print in driveway were deer prints. And all the clues now the deer came though a nip the lilies. But which one there no solid evidence only a  button and we know deers don't wear buttons

Not much more energy is needed to put in the investigation of who was flower bed. We are more then eighty percent it was the deer who ate the lilies.
There a fairly large heard that been hanging around. 

But the question in the button  and one way of finding out is using Wanda DNA personal machine kit. She wasn't use it much, only a few times.
So she got out kit and started to follow the institution and soon the DNA came though and guess what it was Wanda her self.

This week the words came from ELEPHANT CHILD and it looks like she got the word from MARGRET 

Now it time for Wednesday Medley....

1.  Ahhh... May Day!!  Happy May!  Did you celebrate this when you were a child by dancing around a Maypole or leaving flowers on someone's porch? Will you be celebrating a special occasion in May? Since I am pagan Mayday is one of the wheel of year for us. We call it Beltane and we do a maypole, circle our version of worship and socialize. We did May Basket in grade school. 
Beltane is half way point between spring equinox and summer solstice. This might give you a little more info on BELTANE

2.   National Mother Goose Day was founded in 1987.  Can you name a nursery rhyme that would fit your life as it was in 1987?  If you are a youngster and not yet born in 1987, you may pass, of course, but do you have a favorite nursery rhyme? For some reason a few comes to mind that I liked. Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Old King Cole, and  Wee Willy Winkle. And mother goose  rhymes were satirical in different fashion

3.  National Chocolate Parfait Day is also honored on this day. Parfait means perfect in French. Tell us about a perfect day, in your mind, and would/could it end with a chocolate parfait? I don't think we are meant to have perfect day I think it would go to our heads. We're given the right amount of blessings. Although I would say some might be harder to please.

4.  National School Principal's Day was founded to celebrate these school administrators who support and guide quality teachers and staff to provide productive learning environments for our children.  Did you have a good Principal when you were in school? Do you remember his/her name? We had quite a few principals though our school dist. Like my teachers I had middle of road ones. Nothing great or awful.

5. And perhaps the most important one is Silver Star Service Banner Day which honors the sacrifices of the combat wounded, ill, and dying service members from all branches of the military.  Do you have family members who have served this country in uniform? Tell us about them, if you will. I had relatives who been in service here in United States though all wars. Even French Indian wars. One of my relatives was even wound in that war. 

6.  It's Hump Day! How is your week going so far?  I guess I will tell you the bit of bad news. My client Liz ended up in hospital. Not sure of all details she took a bunch of pills. I hope she gets the help she need and get her brain balance out,

We went down over the weekend to spoil our middle grand daughter in Oregon. And now I'm back to work and living a good life. Got a little more done on closet. And start to make up my bullet journal for month of May.
