In my blog I plan to chat about nature, crafts, baking, gardening, beekeeping, family, and whatever else seems appropriate at the time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

A very special day

 Two special events in one day!
My niece had a birthday party last night.  Instead of getting gifts for herself, she asked her friends to bring donations for our Humane Society.  They made such a haul, that the Humane Society got a wheel barrow out, and we also carried some stuff as well.
 They completely filled up this table with donations.
As a special surprise, the humane society gave my niece a gift.
 And some yummy cupcakes!
But the best part was they let her and her friend play with some kittens, and name them!  
Meet Simba and Nala.
They also let them take a dog out and play with it.
An extra special day for an extra special kid!  I hope this idea catches on.

I spent the rest of the day at Groovy Girl Yarn.  She is having a Christmas open house today and tomorrow.  Here is the lobby full of hand made items for sale.
cupcake pincushions...
an owl ornament, which could also be used as a pincushion.
 
 crocheted ornaments
 Christmas pillows

 hats
lip balm made by the bee lady from Hilltop farm! 
$4.00 a tube, natural ingredients, peppermint and lavender flavor.
There's a whole lot more hand made items for sale. Great stocking stuffers and gift ideas.  Stop by Sunday between 11 - 6.

Pepper?
What are you doing up there?
Get down from that snowflake!
jeeeesh - goodnight everybody....

Happy Stuff


I KNOW!  Two posts in one day!  I gotta tell ya some stuff. 
Happy stuff.
So.... I started feeling better and got out for the first time since Sunday.  
And no I don't take the flu shot. I might when I get old.  Then when they say on TV, "If you or a loved one has died from the flu shot that was given 20 years ago, call Kellar and Kellar and see how you are eligible for a settlement...blah blah blah."  That's just me.  Nothing against people that take it and if my immune system were more compromised I probably would take it.  But I'm gonna give them 20 years to find out all the bad stuff about it first.  I'll hold off as long as I can anyway.  
And jeeeeesh this is not what I wanted to post about.
I'm a rambling....
So while laying (or lieing) around I got to thinking....maybe it wasn't my camera that was bad.  Maybe it was my batteries, not charging.  I mean I charged them, and the light 'said' they were charged, but maybe....and I recharged my already charged batteries and viola!  My old camera is working again.  I didn't care much for the new one I bought.  It took too long for the shutter to close and my pics were blurry.  I wanted a point and shoot. 
So I took the new one back.  Which is now on sale for $40.00 less!  Which really honks me off.  I hate this time of year when you can make a paycheck just returning already purchased items because they are now on sale.
So I got my money back, did a few more errands and came home and there was a package waiting for me!

A t-shirt!  

From My Sister's friend - Christy.  Who I guess she is my friend too.  But she's really my sister's friend.  And btw Theresa, Christy said..."See, I'm the better sister!" (talking about herself...you know....being better....than you maybe....or just  nicer....ahem....anyway)
 Is this the coolest t-shirt!

What else...there were three things....OH yeah - so after opening the t-shirt I get a phone call.
"Hello?"
"Cindy this is Candace.  I'm sorry to take so long to get back with you.  Joe said he could take a look at your computer if you can drop it off sometime this weekend!"
  WOOHOO!!!!!  These people are in my new neighborhood....sort of....a few miles away which I guess is kind of the neighborhood when you live in the country, huh?  And they are our wifi suppliers and I HIGHLY recommend them if you move into my neighborhood.  Our wifi has NEVER gone out...in the entire month that we've had it.   And I was actually on my way to (big store) to have someone look at my computer tonight, but I saw my Aunt and Uncle outside and stopped by to visit and then ran out of time.  And I said to myself....Self...I just don't have a good feeling about taking my computer to big store tonight so I'm not going to do it.  And then I get a phone call.  So peeps, sometimes you need to listen to that inner voice telling you to.....cheeeeeck the batteries....again....don't take the computer to big store.....listen to me....

Anyway, I am going to be computerless for a few days.  I'll be visiting you through my phone...but might not be commenting.  Keep your fingers crossed my computer can be fixed.

Chat later!

PS - Our humane society is in need of towels and washable blankets. Please help if you live in my town.  And peeps in other towns, keep your humane society in mind this time of year.  They don't get a lot of money for things like that and our four legged friends need to be warm.
