WAITING FOR NEW BACKGROUND

Wouldn't you know, I took off my header and column design, BEFORE checking to get my new design picked out. That website is currently off line for maintenance and so I now have to wait for it to come off maintenance. Do not know for how long. If to long I may have to go another route will give them a couple of days.

ELISABETH BELL CANDY

I have been having a problem getting a direct link on here for Elisabeth Bell's blog, so will type it here: http://www.elisabethbell.com.blog/ I do not know why, but clicking on this takes me to a
Road Runner page? When I type it in as the url address it takes me to the blog. I am weary trying to figure out why, so just type it in.

Have a great Sunday. It is warm today, but doesn't seem to be as hot as it has been, or maybe that is wishful thinking. I am working on some note cards to sell after the first of the year at a community festival this weekend and after I get a few of them done I need to get another box ready for Operation Write Home. I know there are several of you that also support our troops through this organization, thanks to you all.

ELISABETH BELL BLOG CANDY

If you have not been to visit Elisabeth Bell's Blog you had better check it out as she is once again offering a more than generous Candy as pictured above. You have until 11:59 p.m. Arizona time, July 16th to enter, bet it will be a long list as we all love her sweet images. Good luck everyone, one of us is going to be very excited on the 17th. I have tried to get her link on my blog, but it is not taking it so far. I will try and get it on here tomorrow. I am tired of fighting blogger, my computer, or me for right now, sorry folks.

SILLY ME

A funny thing happened to me yesterday taking the dog out for its morning outing. I used the side door to take her out, mind you now I am still in my nightgown, and set the closed in porch door so it would not shut and lock. OF COURSE, something went wrong and the door closed! Here I am with all doors locked, no windows open so I can take the screen out. I knew the inside kitchen door to the porch was unlocked, so I found a sharp stone and cut the screen out of one of the porch windows that were open, moved the recycle bin under the window, crossed my fingers and prayed that I could climb up on the bin and get my leg in the window (mind you I broke my right hip just about a year ago) and not take a bad fall. Well I got my leg in and now I am half way in and my right leg is not touching the floor and I am not feeling to good about sitting halfway in on a sharp window frame, so I just very slowly kept inching my way over and finally made it onto the porch. Usually I have an extra key down the street at my friend's house just in case, but here I am in my nightgown. I came right in and found an extra key that I am now going to have to find a hiding place outside and get my side door fixed so it doesn't lock on me. I know you all can relate to this, who hasn't done it at least once, oh ok so you haven't.

My son is suppose to come over and put a new screen in my front door, oh boy wait until he finds out I ripped apart two more to get into the house. Look out retirement home, here I come.

I hope to be able to get a new background on my site and some cards over the weekend. Been so long since I redid my site I hope I can remember how to do it. Until then, enjoy your weekend.

LAZY THURSDAY

Hi everyone, how are you all. I had planned on working on my OCS today until I started looking for the die I had planned to use and discovered I had returned it to my girlfriend, so I either have to reborrow or come up with a new design, urrrr. I had posted the painted statues of the horses in the Ocala town square and am going to try and get the other one on here today, remember these were taken in the dark so not a clear as could be during the day.

I have been thinking about offering some candy, but I really don't have enough people visit me and leave comments, so until the day I receive at least 20 comments I don't think it will work. So leave a comment good, bad or indifferent. I welcome any hints or suggestions. I realize I am a very simple cardmaker as I don't really have the income to spend like some of you fortunate peeps, so I have to make do with what I have. Not complaining just stating the facts. So if you visit just leave a little ditty for me and I will see what I can pull together. Going to be another hot day in Florida, at least the evenings cool of a lttle bit.

JUNE OCS

Will I ever master this image process on my blog? Guess I should be happy I get it together even if it is not what I planned, LOL. This is the card I sent to my OCS. Very simple as usual. I left a window on the inside so it could be used for her own sentiment if she wanted.

It stopped raining in time for the fireworks last night and then started raining again and it is raining off and on. I really don't mind the rain, in fact I love the sound of rain especially at night, and we need it badly for our lawns right now. Had a quiet day yesterday. My friend who lives down the street has me to supper a couple of times a week and I finally got her to come down here last night and I fixed spaghetti and sherbet(pineapple, lime, and orange swirl). It was a nice evening. Today I am lazing around and thinking of what I am going to do for the July OCS and I should be cleaning and shinning my wood floor, ha. Hope you all enjoyed your extended weekend with your families.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!

Hi everyone and Happy 4th of July. Let's work together to keep this country the best in the world. Remember if you aren't working to solve the problem, then you are a part of the problem and I hope some high up people start getting this very soon. Enough said.

It is a rainy day here in Florida, but it almost always rains on the fireworks night, hopefully it will clear up for the evening. I will not be doing anything special, since the kids are all grown now it is not a holiday we share as a family. A special shout out to the crew of the USS Harry S. Truman, my grandson's carrier and they are on deployment - we love you all and thank you for your service and sacrifice! We are all so proud. I was going to post a pic of a beautiful shot I had of the flag flying in the breeze, but as luck would have it - it seems to be missing from my computer. So be sure and go out today and see how many you can find in your community. Have a great weekend and a safe 4th.
