Learning, Learning

Boy, sometimes it is so hard being such a greenie !!!

I joined zooomr like Drew told me to and uploaded the picture I wanted and then couldn’t figure out how to put it on my blog post, so just copied it and pasted it in the post.

I know there is a better way, but don’t know how yet.

Anyway, you can see the windows where I was talking about my sister, Rita coming to visit.    She is quite amazed at me having a blog site.   She said she had heard the word, but had no clue what it was.  She says this is for people who don’t have as busy a life as she does.   And she couldn’t figure out why a person would want one.   She said, “what do you write about and who cares about all that stuff”  Well, I know people do care and I love going to the different sites and learning what people are thinking and talking about.

I LOVE IT,   DON’T YOU???

Hello to all you posties out there.

My sister, Rita who lives in Nashville and Memphis Tennessee came up here to visit me this past Friday.   She is a funny and strange person by a normal person’s standards.   I mean that in a good way.   She went out Friday to go to the Library to get some audio books and decided to drive up here.   She can do this in a “spur of the moment”.   She called me and said I am on my way there and I will be ready to eat around 5:00.   Sure enough she was here and I broiled ribeye steaks for her and my husband, Jack and we had baked potatoes with sour cream and butter.  I have a beautiful window in front of my dining table and so we sat there and the snow was outside and with candle light it was like sitting on a lake in a nice restaurant somewhere having dinner.   It was a special treat.  Oh, I had baked pot and some chicken salad I had made for myself since steak doesn’t chew up very well for me.   I am going to take a picuture of my windows and maybe you will get the idea for the setting.  Have a wonderful day.   Life gives us little surprises every now and then.    

* the photo was too large it said and I can’t figure out how to fix it. Sorry. I’ll post it later if I figure it out. *

think I can paste it now !!!

Dining Table and Windows 

I’m Back Finally

Friday, February 1st, 2008

I can’t believe how long it has been since I posted.  “Shame on me”.   I read the different blogs, but just haven’t taken the time to write anything.  Life is good and the snow is beautiful outside.   Probably not for those who have to get out in it.   I had a great Holiday visiting all my family down south.   I enjoy so much the blessing of being able to stay inside and just do the things I like.   “Thank you husband for that blessing that you have made possible”.   Sometimes I think I really live in a fantasy world, not the real world.   At almost 70, I guess that is ok.

Drew recently came to Peru and it was nice to meet him and what an interesting person he is.   His photos are so amazing.  It takes a lot of dedication to do that photo a day for such a long time.  “Drew, we all Thank You”.

I am still losing weight after my gastric by pass surgery and I feel great.  58 lbs is such a load off this body.

Went through my clothes last week and got rid of oddles and oddles of clothes.   It was so much fun.

I am getting ready to make a cd of gospel music in Muscle Shoals Alabama in about 3 weeks and so I am working on those songs that are going to be on it.   That consumes some of my time.   Iwill be back here again soon.   So in the meantime, “Have a wonderful life, we only get one time around”.
