Talent Show at McCutcheon

Last night Karli was in a talent show at McCutcheon. It lasted two hours and there were a lot of those numbers that were not of my liking. You know, the rock stuff. Some was hard rock. One of the acts were a couple of older fellows that work at the school. Doug seemed to think there were teachers. I liked their music. Karli did very well. There wasn't any judging, so now winner or looser. Those kids had a good time, and it was all clean fun. Nice job.

Knit night at Barnes & Noble

Last night I went to Barnes & Noble for the knit night. I've started another afghan and took that with me. Didn't get very far because I forgot to take the next color with me. When I arrived at the point I needed to change colors, I had to quit. Duh!! I had thought about the color change and went to get the next color, but as senior citizens sometimes do, I was distracted and didn't get it done.

Annie and Martin and little Anja were there. Martin's mother held Anja all the time I was there. At least until she had to leave. I can't go next week, Levi is being confirmed at St. Mary's. So I will need to be at this confirmation.

I remember before I was married, mother belonged to a sewing circle in the neighborhood. The ladies would mend, tat, knit, crochet or maybe darn, whatever needed to be done. Even tho I was only a teenager, I enjoyed that whenever it was mother's turn to be the hostess. Then after I had some kids, I started one of those in my neighborhood. That was about the time a lot of women started going to work. So, it didn't last very long. But, it was still a lot of fun.

And this at B&N was really nice because I didn't have to clean house, make sure I had something to eat or drink on hand. Did't even have to clean up after them when they left. How nice!

The weather has been very cooperative. I mowed my yard yesterday, even pulled a few weeds in the flowers. Have more weeds to go, it's just not my favorite thing to do. But it was nice to have that lovely day to do it.

A Beautiful Day!!!!!!!!!

What a lovely day today was. I did a little sewing this a.m. to let it warm up some. Then I pulled weeds for a couple of hours. Very enjoyable day. Will need to mow the grass tomorrow. I need to see what the weather is going to do. Oh, good, Mike Prangley just said the rain looks like it will hold off till Fri. Yeah.

Where did Snookums sleep last night????

Snookums slept in her bed last night. Yeah!!! It didn't take her too long to get over it.

Went to church last evening and then to the Bach Chorale Singers show. It made me late getting to bed and late getting up this a.m. Oh, well, I guess I'll live.

Janice Boes was there. She's been there in the past. I always speak to her. Nice lady

Doug left a message on my phone while I was gone last night. Karli is singing in a talent show at McCutcheon on Wednesday. They are charging $3 to get in. Doug was laughing on the phone, cause he knows how cheap I am. But, the county has a program where a senior citizen can get a pass to get into these school functions for free. But, since I live in the city, I can't get one. At the door, I'll ask for a senior discount. Ha! Ha! I've thought of applying for one of those passes and using Doug's address. I'll be up that creek if they ask for ID.

It would be nice if this weather would get just a little warmer. There are some parts of this country that need rain, and here we are, we can't get it to quit.

Earthquake and animals.....

Did this earthquake affect anyone else' animals? Snookums won't sleep in her bed. That's where she was when it struck and last night she slept in the garage.

An Earthquake??!!!!!

Well, I must say, I often wondered what an earthquake was like. I now know. I was awake, just hadn't gotten up. Snookums moved to another room. Maybe she thought she could get away from it that way.

Yesterday was a really nice day. Mowed some of the yard. The flowers are blooming and how nice it is. Fixed ribs on the grill. Yeah!!! I slept with my window open last night. It is to get to 75 today. As soon as I'm finished with the sewing I need to do, I'm going to take Snooks for a long walk.

Web-stalking!??

Okay, I didn't know there was such a thing. But, apparently there is. This post was prompted by Annie. I read her last blog and she talked about web-stalking. It's becoming apparent that company's are reading blogs. People seem to express their delight or disgust with people, places and things on blogs. Well, I 'm here to tell you that what you write is open to be read by all. As did Comcast when they read my blog, and Hooter Hiders when they read Annie's blog.

Frank (the nice fellow at Comcast) told me that he learns a lot from blogs and was hiring more people to just read blogs. So, if you want to complain or send compliments to someone or some company, maybe a blog is the way to go.
