Fun Talent

Never heard of one needs talent to have fun. I went to "paint one on" at a local wine place, called HEART ROCKS WINE. I can see plenty wrong with it. But I was there to have fun. There were five ladies plus owner.
We all basic painted the same thing, and they all look slightly different. I have a "Happy Sheep" who know he miss the slaughter house.

Murphy and I fix the strawberry patch fence, re force it. Then did a little bit of angling on the deck boards, so the water will run off and ice won't form.
Not sure if our deck would be a recycles or repurpose. Most of the lumber came from the shed we tore down from the shed out on the bench.

I had Murphy take some photos of me. I thought I want some newer ones of my self. So I took what I thought was the 3 best out of 15. I know we see our self different then others.

Ziggy was looking in. He will sit by the bathroom door and if he knows some one bathing or shower and soon as we get out, he'll jump right in.
We're always saying to him....Your a strange one, Mr Ziggy.

Still learning more about instgram and I got some of my photos post, but there a few I want to post more.
Weighed in this morning, happy and my goal is to have the T.O.P.S scale to be under 221.50
I drew my next tarot card I'm going to draw, and it the sword of page. I have my vision what I believe it should look like.

In An Minute We Move Foward

This morning and we did have a light frost. I did mange to get a short walk in. The larch haven't yet start to turn color. If your curious what a larch is...best way to explain it, would be...A pine tree that change colors and loose it needles. But actual it classify as a deciduous fir tree.

A short time back a larch was remove. The field is own by a Mormon family. And they do have sense of community and family with there own members.
I guess one of there members need help with firewood, and was willing to take a larch out and gave it to him.
But like many religious organization there to much Male controlled.

But it did change the landscape. When a tree is remove there something will advantage and others it doesn't.

During one of late summer wind storm. I believe it was in 2016. That a top of tree blew out. And the people who own the field across from us, pulled up. So Murphy and I went cut and split it as firewood.
At one time our main source of heat was wood, and supplement with gas. Now gas is our main source of heat and supplement with wood.

There a few things I need to finish up. But I'm going to fall over a some what political rant. I guess it depends way you lean. I recently made a comment about Harvey Weinstein. But we have a sexual predator and perv as our President. Do you recall during the election when Candidate Trump use the phase "Grab em by the pussy" In being fair I should mention "Bill Clinton and Monica". Before social media it was pretty much could be kept in the closet. It known that President Harding was a TRUE PERV

Still need and want to do a few small things around here. The wood still need to be unload and place in basement.
There wash going and will need to be transfer over to the dryer. There were a small amount of fabric's I'm trying to get the smell out of it, to perfumie.
And as for my crafts I know I won't complete. But I still need to continue on my binding on the quilt and sew anther ball of fabric so I can continue with the crochet rag rug.
Well There an excellent change I will get the tarot card I been working on.

Are We Meant To Have Perfect Being

I  thought my ideal of waiting 20 minutes to see if I need a snack or not. My clients I didn't go out today and so no stress.
But there this popcorn, I got Liz hooked to. I know popcorn is healthy. But the topping isn't. So one or two hand full wasn't manageable.

It been a while time since I've done SKY WATCH Friday. Simple because of the photo issues. I thought the morning was beautiful how the fog wrap around the mountains.
The snow is slowly coming down the mountain side, soon it will be in valley.

I start to do INSTAGRAM and at this time I only have a few photos up. One is Miss Daisy. Well when I get off of work. She thinks I come home and toss her stuff toys. As you can see she sure can focus quite well.

Got chance to crochet anther ball of fabric of the rag rug, and it looks like I will need more white. I did get a full size white flat sheet, and it was still in the package. Brand new and it was price at $4

I almost have my empress tarot card. I want to put a swing of some type in my drawing. I can see it in my head. But I can't cognate my brain and hands to have it come out looking like a swing.

Opinion time...I believe we have a serious mental ill President here in the United States. Everyday his choice he makes worries and scares me. Although he real raising trouble with any gain we have with our foreign neighbors.
Like today with IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL and if our President keeps going this way, he  will be siding up with Putin Russia, Netanyahu Israel, and possible North Korea Kim Jong Un. I bet some of you are shaking your head about Kim Jong Un. Sure both of them is having there childish moments on twitter. But come right down to it. All these leaders including our President Trump have a lot in common.

As we're in the year of Rooster but I consider it the year of the cock (anther name for a rooster) and have you every seen a rooster strut around the barn yard. Well all the leaders I mention pretty much behave like a rooster.

Then what he did to our health care. Since Affordable Care Act or Obama care. What every you want to call it.
90% of American has health insurance. But now with stroke of Trump pen who know were our health coverage will become.
I still sport a one payer or universal health program.

Had my yearly physical everything looks ok. The only thing I need to do is my mammogram. I'm making my appointment this coming Tuesday when I take Regis for his physical therapy. But I did get my TP SHOTS

Finishing Up And Going On

This will be my last posting on the so called exercises on writing your weight lost. It got me think on how I look at my self.
But there two area I need to address is more movement and those nasty snack attacks.
I call them nasty simple because they attack my when one lease expect it. Today I didn't work and very little stress. So no nasty snack attack.
Everyone, will that not quite true. I been told by some I'm a whiz at handling stress. My husband said I can keep it together under stress...He tells me....I could get every one off a sinking ship. That might be true but after wards I would stuff my face with food. So I'm either rewarding my self or medicating my self. I believe what I'm going to do about the snack attacks mostly because I handle a stressful situation is wait 20 minutes then decided if I need a snack or not.
I'm wearing my pedometer and not quite half way though the month. Notice I haven't done much walking this month. And I know there so many benefits to walking. Confession time...I set to much.
Looking at my October weather notes and walking notes. On the average I'm walking 2.50 miles a day and to be honest this is including that I wear my pedometer though out the day.

Next thing I'll be going though WORKING WITH TAROT. I'm going to start on fool journey of life. The first one the fool encounter is the Magician.
But I have no ideal when I will be doing this.

This actual angers me. That people have to go to do a "go fund me page" for medical treatment. One of our local here that his wife has set up a go fund me page. For her husband DON'S CANCER FUND
At this time I won't rant about our medical system.

Not much done around the place today. Murphy and I was going to work on the fence around the strawberries.
I did a little that deals with crafts. Wash my new fabrics I picked up at local thrift store. The reason I wash them. The local thrift store washes everything they get but they use scent laundry soap and it to much for me.
I fill up a bobbin and sewed the next ball of fabric to the rag rug, I'm working on.
Well the next thing I will be doing is sitting up the ironing board and iron out the wrinkled.

Yesterday post. I mention facebook and people rant and raving. I decided to post a little something that could be fun...What are you reading?...Then turn to page 111 and post 5th, 6th, and 7th line.
I Know Why The Cage Bird Sings...The flames of fire and brimstone. But that was what the bible said and it didn't make mistakes. "Ain't it said somewhere in there...

It didn't stick around long but we had snow but it was mix with rain and didn't really stick.

Just Looking

Thought it was time to do a daily post. I was looking though our local Rant and Rave page on facebook. Question time...Does your local area have a rant and rave page on face book? Our community has one. But some time I think it more like a ROMPER ROOM
Don't post much there or comment. But I do read the post and just shake my head in total amaze by what other thinks. Time to move on.

It been such a nice day. And such pretty colors we're having here right now. But time to move on. Work went well Liz and I went to all three thrift store.
Thrift store has great values. I just can't paying retail when you can get them at thrift store. I got a new top and some Jammie's. They came to $4.00
Then I got two piece of cotton fabric and both fair amount. Each were price at fifty nine cent each.

I been reading write your own diet. Two things they talk about is how you look and how you want to look.
With a picture we can make opinion on someone. It may or not be fair. Then when we read about someone, from what every source it may be from.
I was curious what I would look like if I lost weight. Well there an app or site called WEIGHT MIRROR. I have no desire to be under size 12 or 135 pounds. I just want to trim up and not being dragging this weight around. So many health trouble of packing this fat around.
By this time I figure loosing weight is for one self.

These are some of the squares I've cut for my quilt I'll be working on in Troy.
Daisy want me to toss her toy and hopeful tomorrow  I will get chance to visit some blogs.

Shouldn't and Shouldn't

Weight and it went well and I was down I believe was a half pound. But I will check in my weight lost register.

After banging my head up the wall. I now can load up photos so I can now share photos. Leaves are starting to change colors. Snow on top the mountain peak. I heard snow is coming to the low level. Although if it does blanket my yard, it won't stay long.

Liz has came a long way. Confession time...I fine it stressful taking her out. She has in the past done some real off the wall things. At times I felt like crawling under the table. In the past I thought of retaining a lawyer. There been a few times I could possible see her getting arrested, and me being at wrong place and wrong time kinda of thing.
So today I took her and Regis out to the hope house. They both got some clothing, and Liz got a few extra.
We went out to see Regis dad who live fairly close to hope house.

I just couldn't get into shopping. I usual don't have trouble with depression but for some reason I was struggling with it.

I have fun looking though clothing at the thrift store. 

I'll try to convince my self fashion isn't important. But there three basic thing when I get dress I want the clothing say..comfort, fun, and style.

I still check out what they have in size 12. Don't know if I will every be in size 12 again. But one thing I don't want to be under 135. So not sure if one weigh 135 and stand 5'6 like me. What size they wear.

This morning I was trying to figure what I'll wear for work. My job don't require me to dress up. Why does one need to dress like a million bucks if there going to be house hold chores.

Anther place we stop was the Three Mile Antique Mall. For me I love there fabric section. I got some fat quarter for $1.50 each. And anther piece for $1.00 But for $3.00 one can fill up a gallon zip lock bag.

Liz got a elk antler and she going to use it for wine glass holder. Regis found this grim ripper pipe.

I had been talking about the locker hook rug I've made and hear is the one I completed. Right now I've been cutting strips for the next rug I want to make.

I also started a quilt class over in Troy Montana. But I'm finishing up the one I start last winter. Then I been cutting eight inch squares for anther quilt and it called the "sand castles" and it doesn't have nothing to do with the beach.

Before The Sun Came Up

We're creature of habits. I'm trying to revent how I start my day. Usual the first thing I do when I get up is have my morning "Joe" and watch the news.
Sooner or later as to my nature I will mess up when it comes to revent my health.
Now before I raise out of bed. I have brief conversation with my interself. So instead of my morning "Joe" I did a few simple stretches. Then my coffee.
I had banana pancake with peanut butter and raspberry jam on it. I'm not a big fan of pancake syrup. Then two strips of bacon.
I finding this so called before I step out bed conversation does help. I sure don't want to stumple off the path of better health.
I know reality or some un for seen event will tumble in and I'll stuff my face full of food. One thing I can say I'm developing good tools to over coming my food crutch.

I thought and should think all that much. I thought I had the photo thing figured out. I don't, considering I had and even paid them to show me. What I need to do to get photos on the lap top.
Well I thought I had. Look simple enough. Well I didn't have it.
I don't like to bother my son about such things. Considering I seem to be slow and just not understanding what's going on.
So looks like I'll be taking my lap top down when I go and see Bart and his family. And get a computer lesson.

I've also been lining up the items I will need for my quilting class. I will have to stop some place and pick up some cotton thread.
Actual it only looks like I will need three piece for this quilt. My boarder piece, and I'll look though my fabric stash and see what I can come up with.
Last two items I'll need is the backing and the batting.

Looks Like little later on today I will help Liz with anther load form her old place.

Question time...(two part)...How do you see your self...and....How do you indenify your self?
I see my self as being of this planet having an adventure of life...I indentify my self someone who isn't quite there yet.

Fall Party In Land of Bogus

In the kingdom of Bogus, there was the king of Wands who treat his subject with great admiration and made sure everyone treat with kindness. He was so fair that he could leave his gold out in open knowing that no one who lived in town of Bogus would every take it.
He had a lion on guard at all times, knowing someone from a far way land could break down the gate of Bogus and possible do warm to them.
But in land Bogus every one worked very hard for there kingdom. Know one there was a surf and the king made sure everyone had a little garden spot and even few people had some chicken and even livestock.
Who was glad to share there abundance with others.
Right around the time everything was harvest the king place a table right on main street and the entire people of Bogus came to celebrate and give thank for a grand harvest, with parade and dancing.
There was many people who showed off there talent. Gifts was brought from all people and this little boy who had tremors drew the king a picture of his home with his family standing out side. As the king saw the picture been erased several time. The king said to his people "It doesn't matter how many time ones go back to the drawing board as long as one gets up and tries over a million time they will get there"

The book I'm reading on writing your own diet. Talks about having a body buddy. I think this is wonderful and helps one to my accountable for there choices.
I'm letter writer. Snail mail thing.
So as I'm a member of T.O.P.S I posted an ideal on there facebook page about doing an pen pal though tops.
Also got hold of the main office. Not sure where it will go. But T.O.P.S is a support group. That one reason I post about my weight lost adventure on my blog. It keeps me honest.
Plus the scales don't keep me honest but they keep me accountable.
One thing I'm sure I don't want in a body buddy is one who in competition. I would like one who is about the same age that we can share our weight lost together.
Sex, weight, although I wouldn't want someone who got less then 40 pounds to go, or over 100 pounds to go. and age. I find all ages a blessing.

I thought I would of been hauling more items for Liz. But both of us are pretty tired and she ask if I could do it Saturday.
She was grieving her old place. But right now there no time to grief her old place. But I told her once we got her in her into her new place.
Believe me there plenty of time un-pack the moving boxes. But way the non perishable food. Take a week off and grief for your old place.
Then slow start to put your new home into order.

I'm starting to line up the fabric for my quilting class starting this Monday. I just wash up some floral prints. It looks like I won't have to purchase all that much fabric for this up coming class.
Couple of piece fabric looks like there some place between half and yard, I got them for forty nine cents. Then I went though my stash.
I been cutting strips for Sawyer and Betty locker hook rug.

Murphy did most of the work on the deck. He almost got the railing on, and once that on we're calling it good for winter. I believe her wants to tighten up the side deck, and that needs replace also.
The other day he ran into one of the local who sells firewood. He only does a few people since he retire and it hard work. We use to go out and get our own firewood.
But no more, any how my husband can have a real nasty attitude that could ruin a patient of Saint. Even our son has no desire go and help with firewood.
I'll just leave it at that.
So we're buying a pick up load of rounds for $150 and I'm guessing it should be 1/2 to 3/4 of cord. I could pull up a calculator and figure what size of load that would be. Right now top line firewood sells for $225 and $250 a cord.

I did get my other lap top going. I just didn't under stand how it worked. So as some of you know I went on ramp page about Yahoo. So I'm think of closing this blog down. Don't frat I'm not giving up blogging. I'll be starting a new one. This blog is called "Having Coffee With Peppylady" and I'm trying to come up with a new name for my blog...Question time ...Any new name for a blog?

With Out A Script

Action, roll um. Weight lost was good this pound and quarter off. In this book they talk about planning. During outing I actual do ok. But I plan what I'm going to eat and even from the goodies table.
But I notice in every day life I don't plan when it comes to eating.
Mostly with Liz when we're out in about and nothing major goes wrong. I will reward my self or penalize my self with food.
Confession time...In pass I thought of retaining a lawyer. I figure sooner or later with her acting like a crazy lady. Some one would be calling some law enforcement agency.
I have to give cootos to her therapist and social worker. I know I had a hand in getting her moving in the right direction. So team effort.
When it comes to weight lost. I notice I need to constantly cuing my self.
Regis bought whoopers, malt ball. Love them. So I before I did his dishes I had four and afterward four. That what I plan and that what I did.
When I take lunch I plan to put in four items. Today was a chicken wing, lemon yogurt. carrot sticks, and bag of m and m's. They where the large bags so I dump half of them out and ate them by color. The other half is still in my lunch. I will eat the other part tomorrow.
I guess it true what they say about. If you fail to plan you will fail.

I had plan to take in my lap top grab the cord. But I took off this morning with out my purse so no driver liaison. And no money.
I took Regis to his appointments and after we stop in at local thrift store.
This thrift store don't deal with bank cards. I thought this would be blessing for me, I couldn't get anything this way.
Well I was looking though the fabric stack and I mange to fine some. Which will work into my up coming quilt.
The bank was just across the parking lot. I've been using the same back for years and all the people who works there knows me.
Well I pulled out 22 dollars. The items from the thrift store was 11 something. And I end up getting ten back and some loose chance.
So I went and put ten bucks worth of fuel in my car, and bought a scratch ticket. It been year or so since I purchase a lottery ticket.
Not much of gambler. Is like gun I'm not anti or pro. Same with gambling.

Well I need to head up stair and help Murphy with dinner. Fish tonight. He got the boards for the railing on deck.
This morning it was just below freezing.
One last thing Liz did get her apartment.

It Could Of Been

For many medical and mental reason we're encourage to walk. Confession time...I love to walk. But the flip side of the coin. I just have a horrible time in time management when to do it. This morning I was draining time. I got up little later then I planned.
Well I thought when Regis was at the library I could squeeze a short walk in. But my excuse "It was raining" although not hard.
A good walk usual clears my head or I come up with some of my best ideals. Lease to me I think there wonderful ideals.
What is latest ideal  you came up...or.....problem you solved?
Both my clients been told to walk for part of there mental health program, and guess what they don't.
Opinion time....If they would take a little walk I believe they would be a less of chance for them to take sleeping pills, or a lower dose.
As you see I don't and could.

I took my lap top and stop in the computer place, to see why I can't get photos on. Well the battery was dead and I forgot the cord. One of those "It Could Of Been"
I'll try again.

Before the library Regis and I stop at Walmart and the quilt I will be making. One start out with and 8 inch square. I stop in to see is they had a template for 8 inch square and to come to think about it. I only seen 4 1/2. 6 1/2 and all ending in halves.
I'm sure something can be worked out.

Weigh in tomorrow. Won't say anymore. Let see what the scale will say.
As I was at Library I did get a pen pal letter done.

September Cheak In (2017)

October is here. As none of you could figure that out. It been a while since I've done a report. Well our leaves are now starting to turn colors.
It hasn't froze either. A little rain did fall toward last half of September.

I know each and everyone of us important in our own special way. Everyone on this beautiful planet will leave his or her legacy.
Gee I hope none of you are tweeting like our President Trump does. Or should say have his crazy mind set. I'll just leave it at that.
What I real want to talk about is my bullet journal. I have no trouble planning but marking off things as I complete them.
Or give some type of progress report.

End of September I had my friend LaWalla sign me up for a quilting class. I took one last winter in Troy Mt.
I only had a small bit to do, put on the binding. Well I didn't make it to the last class. 
This time they will be doing what they call "Sand Castles" I have to speak up on this..."It doesn't have any thing to with castle, beach or sand" well I wonder why and how certain quilt get there name.
The good thing this one is made out flower print fabric, which I already have quite a bit of piece of fabric. I can use.
It looks like I don't have to put much out. It strongly recommed that vintage flower material to be used. 

It been a long time since I had a CHARLEY HORSE, well I figure it was lack of bananas I been eating. So I thought it would be wise for me to get some.

I don't know when the last time I did a PERSONAL ITY INSIGHT.....You are inner-directed and skeptical.

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 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 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.
