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!

One room done!!!!!

I have worked so hard today I broke my gloves.  Yup...broke 'em!  The cuffs came off!  And they were so cute Dammittohell!  And for that reason...Mother....and Gloria....I do not like to clean.
But clean I did!  The upstairs bathroom at the house in town is now clean,
empty,
and ready to be viewed by a potential buyer.
I only have eight more rooms to go, plus the basement.
  I shall not be deterred!

Tuesday Ripple or Groovy Girls of Anarchy!

OK - so here I am buzzing by our house in town, nabbing a bit of wifi from the neighbor (he's fine with it-I buy him beer in exchange!) and I thought I'd quickly do a Tuesday Ripple. The Granny Bee has been making these Granny Squares.  She's going to cover a foot stool with them.  Very cool.

 This is Kristi's ripple blanket,
 and this is mine!
 Kathy is finally caving in and learning to crochet!
 And this is "K's" ripple and bag.  She's probably done with her ripple by now.
And I don't have a picture of Miss Groovy Girl's project.  Can't remember what she was working on, but probably something on knitting needles.....oh yes, I remember now.....she was knitting....and apparently I didn't get a picture of it, but I do remember putting it all back on the needles when it fell off.  Hmmm, wonder what's become of her project.  I'll let you know...
In the meantime....I have questions about wifi and Internet and such.....
Does anyone out there use their I-phone and plug it in to their computer for 3G or 4G to use the Internet?  I'm thinking of doing that.  I'm always concerned when I go to sign up for something and the person says they'll call me back, and they don't.  If that's the "sign-up" service I get, what kind of service will I get when I have problems.  Apparently the person I called for wifi has their own service out by us.  But she hasn't called me back.  And my other option is wifi through Direct TV which I way do not understand at all.  Any ideas?

I'm going to go sit and crochet tonight and forget about everything else for a bit.....but come tomorrow, I'm going to want Internet again....sigh...........

MOVING!

  
I know what you are thinking...you're thinking ....why is she showing a picture of a bubble bath.
 Well I'll tell ya.  
The last you heard from me, we were moving.   We were only moving what we needed to live in a one room efficiency basement area.  And right when we started to load stuff up, it clouded up and started pouring rain.  And it rained all afternoon and evening. Which put us behind.  So I decided What the "H", I'm gonna take a bath, relax and call it a night.  And I took a pic because it's the last bath in this lovely bathroom that my Shug and I re-did years ago in this house.  And we don't have a tub in our new house yet.  We won't until we get moved upstairs.
So, we moved a week and a half ago, on Saturday.  On Friday night I started cleaning out the fridge, and look what I found!  Tequila....I wonder how long it stays good.  I don't even remember why I bought it.  Probably some special drink I was making for some gathering.
 And look what else I found.  This lovely message on the side of the cabinets when we moved the fridge out!
Now, listen up peeps.  Did you know....that your ENTIRE inside of your fridge will come COMPLETELY out?  It does.  The entire thing.  You can take the whole thing apart and have nothing in it....nothing.....at all.  So, I never knew that.  And I called in the troops for help and
my Mother happily showed me how to clean my fridge....with a toothpick for the love of Pete!  Who does that?  She does. And here's something funny.  When she was cleaning the fridge with the toothpick, the end of it broke, flung up on her face and stuck there!!!!!  aaahahahahaha!!!
And here Dad is helping out too.  Doing what he's told mostly!
 And here is a glimpse of where we are living.  For those of you who don't know this....we have moved from town...right in the middle of town, to one room in the basement of our new house that we are building ourselves.  (you can read all about it by clicking on the picture of the cartoon house on the side of this blog)  And I will say right now,we are not settled in, and that is not a case of alcohol on the chair!  It is stuff in a box.  I got a lot of boxes from the liquor store for moving, and we put boxes on the furniture to keep the dogs off.
 Yup, we are living in an efficiency room with two dogs.  It's crazy.  Craziest thing I ever did, besides try to build my own house.


 That there is my guitar.  That's a whole other story for a whole other day.
 Right now, I need to pack it up and head to the house in town to pick up more stuff and take it to the country.

I haven't been reading blogs lately but I hope to get caught up as soon as we get internet.  I called the lady about it the other day and she was supposed to call me back today.  So far, she hasn't called.  My friend Mandy says...what do you do?  Well, besides trying to get the other house in some sort of order, and get the rest of the stuff packed up, we have been watching dvd's on Roofus (my laptop).
And last night, we were watching a moving on the patio outside.  And this is what the moon looked like.  It was FULL and BRIGHT!  And as I was sitting there, I heard coyotes start yowling!  aaaoooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ouuuu oouuuuu!!!!  I grabbed my laptop and ran inside!!!!
