BACK AWHILE

Well not much going on these days. Lost my mojo and it is lurking here somewhere. Saturday my sorority chapter had a tent at the Parrish Heritage Days, so my time was spent on getting that all together. It was really small! I sold 7 cards. Also, made bracelets and sold 15. We had hoped for teenagers, but it was too lame an event for teenagers. So now we know. We had hoped to make enough to fill our coffers a little for our weekend getaway in May (to help pay otle rooms), and for our annual charity donation. Well the main thing was that all of us spent the day together having a good time and that is what sorority is all about. I have been stopping by most of your blogs, but have not really left any comments. Sorry!! It is pouring rain right now and we really needed it badly. If you stop by - thanks. Maybe I will try and remember to do WOYWW this week. There are so many participating it is hard to get to everyone and make comments and it takes me three days, how about you. Have a great week.

The above pic is my silly little girl Sassy. She is a Bobtail. Thinks she has found a new place for her naps. She was so surprised when she moved around a little too much and ended up on the floor at one point. The look on her cute little face was priceless. She just couldn't figure out how she was on the chair and then on the floor.

WOYWW-90

Oh heck! It is 10:10 a.m. and I forgot about my post for WOYWW again. So here I am trying to get it together, some what. I am still working on cards to sell at the end of March for the Parrish Heritage Day Festival. This is a very, very old small town in Florida and it is just 3 miles from my home. When I see some of your sites and the boxes of cards you have made it makes my pathetic attempt a big joke. Oh well, work with what you have and what you can do I guess. I am currently working on two birthday cards, they are not finished, still thinking about how I want to finish them off. I have two sorority sisters with birthdays, one on Feb. 27 and the other is Mar. 2. The cat is a Penny Black and the girls I believe are Stampin' Up stamps. I still have not mastered getting my pics to come up on my blog where I want them.

My grandson, who has returned from his latest deployment has e-mailed me that Lifetime TV came on board ship as they were returning and interviewed some of the crew and filmed the homecoming to their loved ones. They had just returned from a deployment and within about a month to 6 weeks were sent out again. Anyway the ship is the USS Harry S. Truman CVM75, an aircraft carrier and it is to be aired on March 6 at 10:00 p.m., Eastern time in the United States. So I am looking forward to watching it. My sorority chapter is in the final planning stages of our "Weekend Getaway" for May 20. We have decided to stay close to home because of the gas prices and only having three days. We do not want to spend all of our time on traveling, so we are just going about a 45 minute drive up the coast to Passa Grille (Enfys you should be familiar with this area, I think). We are staying at a small motel facing the Gulf and there are little shops and restaurants within walking distance. Then my girlfriend and I are hoping to book a cruise for 2012 and begin making payments on the booking so it is all paid by the time we board the ship. Who knows what will be happening by August 2012, but that is our plan. Well that is probably more than you wanted to know and so I will get off here and on to my day. Have a great week.

WHAT HAPPENED TO SPRING & SUMMER

Well my gosh, I did get a new header and background but I seem to have skipped Spring and Summer in doing so. I was just so happy to finally get a new one on here I have just left it for now, or maybe I will be lazy and leave it until Fall. Really I did not find one for Spring or Summer through these designs, so I don't know if there are none or I just didn't dig deep enough. Another beautiful day here in Florida.

Looking forward to our "Girls Weekend Getaway" for this year. We are in the planning stages and are about ready to make our reservations. Waaahooo!!

Off to do something, hope to see you tomorrow on WOYWW.

AT LONG LAST!

Well as you can see I finally got a new blog header and background transferred. Thanks to Leelou answering mye-mail call for help. Hope to remember to do WOYWW this week. Things have slowed down just a wee bit. See you then.

WHAT A MESS!

Tried changing my blog background, etc, but as you can see I got part on and the winter things are still there. I am stumped right now as to what went wrong. Will keep frustrating myself until I get it solved.

This was brought to my attention by my step-daughter, the mother of 4 children. I am going to check out my latest pics to see if this works or if my phone is not new enough. Ooops, have not taken any so cannot check. If someone else gets to check it out first, let me know as I can't go do it right now.

TAKING A BREAK

Hi friends! I am taking a break due to other things going on in my life right now. For instance a new little wrinkle. Yesterday while reviewing my checking account I found a Hold on it for $93.30 made on the 25th. WHAAAT?? Called the bank immediately and found that a charge had been made on my debit card for this amount at a jewelry store ( who can afford a jewelry store?) not me, in a small town between Rt. 19 and Rt. 75 in Florida. It is north of Tampa. Not roads I do any traveling, except on rare occasions and certainly not on the 25th. She finally transferred me and we went over it all again. Ascertaining that I had not lost my card, only had one card and I was holding it my hand at that time, no one has access but me, I may let one grandson go into buy cigs or gas, but I am there in the car. Card comes out of billfold, into store, back into billfold. Gosh he can't go into the store and walk 10 ft. without coming back out to say "what's your pin AGAIN". Well I know it isn't anyone I know. Then I was transferred to the Fraud Dept., etc., etc. They found it had been a signature buy, which means the person had to have a card AND sign. So they believe at this time someone has a phony card. So I am seriously rethinking about using my debit card once this is cleared up. This one was cancelled immediately by the Fraud Dept. and a new one being issued.

The only way someone could have gotten my card number - a restaurant worker, gas station, convenient store by swiping it or writing it down or keeping a carbon of the bill. So enough. It is so very sad to think there are so many people out there that haven't a care as to who they use. This may cause some financial problems for me and believe me I can create my own, I do not need any help. LOL So I am focused on this and a couple of other things right now. Keep yourselves safe and happy until I return.
