Baffled!

The squirrels are! I put a baffle on my feeder today. Hopefully, that will take care of the varmints. And maybe it won't as they are very clever! Tune in tomorrow!

Even Though...

Even though I won't be here for Easter, I still have to have my jelly beans! And I love the chocolate marshmallow bunnies as well. It's that time of the year for breaking diets. (There's a Scarlet Tanager on my feeder. My computer sits next to the window where my feeder is located).

Even though I will not be here for Easter, I will still have zits on my chin from all the chocolate.

Even though....I'll be traveling on Amtrak to my brother's in N.C. for the weekend. I'm sure along with the Easter Egg Hunt, there will be lots of jelly beans. I wonder if I can wait that long or will bite the dust and go out and buy some early. Hmmm! Good idea!

Songs We Sing/Whistle/Hum all Day

"I'm Henry the 8th, I am....Henry the 8th I am, Iam
I got married to the widow next door
and she's been married 7 times before
And everyone was a Henry. It couldn't be a Billy or a Sam , etc. etc. etc."

I don't know where that came from - somewhere in my head -and found its way to my lips.

I don't even remember who sang it - was it the Monkeys?

Old Posts

I was reading earlier posts and laughed out loud reading the responses on "our" first homes, dated 12/6/08. Take another look and enjoy it too. Actually, was looking to see what blogs to put in the book. I haven't done anything about it yet.

Spring is on its way! Our clocks get pushed forward tonight (hope I remember) so less hours sleeping. Does anyone else have "daylight saving time?"

Donna Fletcher called me today and we talked a good hour. Her car was stolen on Thursday and it's a big headache for her. It seems there's a lot of theft regarding cars right now.

Went out and bought some jelly beans and tootsie roll pops. Have a craving for something sweet.

Oh, found that someone from Japan had commented on my blog. Of course, it was all written in Japanese letters so no hope of understanding it.

New Post

Hi all,

It's been a long time! My life has taken many twists and turns in the past few months. I do thank all of you for your cards and good wishes. I'm still undecided if I want to put my bod through Chemo or not. Would prefer not to but will get a 2ND opinion on the 18Th of this month. I'm sure it will be more of the same. Kath did some research on a couple of docs who prefer alternative medicine so I've emailed one in Houston. They did such a good job on my great-granddaughter down there that surely, they'll have something for me.

I'm back to my old schedule now and feel just wonderful. My weight has dropped so all that fasting for tests paid off. Hope it will stay away... .

I'm also playing Scrabble online with my daughters and they sure show me up!" But I enjoy it.

I hope to post more often in the future.

Oh Watta Year!

Starting off the year with a trip to Virgin Gorda and then out to Jackson for a high school graduation kept me stepping along with eternal packing and unpacking. Then bamm! The great-grandsons started coming with Asher and Beck. The "Greats" are going to outnumber the "Grands", I think. Eleven versus sixteen...........hmmm? Then, we're sure to have another next year with Alana but that's for then.

I've come to the conclusion that I really put food in the feeders for the squirrels and like Susan said "they have to eat too!"

This year, I've enjoyed being with my local grandchildren to various sporting events or just hanging out.

I've learned that I don't have the stamina that I used to have i.e. I can't jump rope anymore or stand on my head! I know that the best times really don't cost money; that family is so important and I learned to play Bunco!
