Is everyone going through AOLHELL or it just me. It seems that when I am leaving comments that it is leaving the same comment twice. Will AOL ever get itself together.

I am moving all the entry's from my stitching journal over to here so I can close that journal out.

Here is the first entry.

 

 

Wow it's been a while since I wrote in any blog. In Feb. I started doing my cross stitch again stitched a picture of my MIL. Then out of curiosity I surfed the web. Boy was I suprised by what I found I went crazy reading different blogs, not only that they have groups for cross stitch GROUPS. I joined a couple of them and I and have not started them yet I need to gather my supplies for them. I am learning things I never knew before. There are some SAL that I am doing. I am having so much fun.

 

Well on to the coffee. This morning we went for doughnuts and coffee. Well I had the coffee on the nightstand and went to reach the lamp to turn it off and tipped over the coffee on the Busy Bees scissor case also the pin cushion and the fob. I ran to the sink to get if off before it stained but was to late. I went to the kitchen and made a very strong pot of coffee so I can coffee dye the pieces so they all lookes the same. this was the very first time I ever did anything like this and did not know how it would look. I soaked it for about 2 hours and it cane out good beter then I thought it would. I will post a pic of them as soon as I can.

Until next time have a great night.

Hi y'all,

WOW it has been a long time since i have posted Trojan Horse on the desk top and that computer is not longer good unless i can find someone to fix it for me.

Got the laptop fixed but it is not working as good as it use to work.

In my absent from the computer I started doing my cross stitch again. This is one of a biggest love. It is very relaxing for me.I quit because of my neurophathy since it was getting worse. With the medication it is better.

I will be adding my cross stitch and what I am doing here. I started a new blog for that but will be adding the entrys here and deleting that journal. keeping alot of journlas is hard to do and I can not keep up with more then one.

Need to leave to go pick up Mike from work.

Will post again soon.

 

Sunny

I found out last night that my uncle had passed away on March 25. I don't hear from any of my family. I read the newpaper from my home town and I found out by reading it in the paper. I don't talk to any of the family I don't know why. I never really asked.  I have tried to find out about the service since it said arrangements are still pending. I wish I was closer to my family back east since I want to move back there in 5 to 7 years. I need to get the girls gradurated from high school first. Mike saids he wants to live in a small town when he retires from work. My home town is a small town so he should like it there. Don't know if he will like the snow, I love the snow so I know I will be happy there. Chynna is at her dads right now. She has had a sore throat for about 3 months all the test come back negative for strept throat so we don't know what is going on with her.

I need to start dinner.

 Have to pick Mike up at 5 from the station.    

 

  Hugs  Sunny

Recieved this in a email.

 

 Modern Day Fairy Tale

   Once upon a time

   ~~~~~~~~

   in a land far away,

   ~~~~~~~~

   a beautiful, independent,
   self-assured princess

  ~~~~~~~~

   happened upon a frog as she sat
   contemplating ecological issues
   on the shores of an unpolluted pond
   in a verdant meadow near her castle.

   ~~~~~~~~

  The frog hopped into the princess' lap
   and said: " Elegant Lady,
   I was once a handsome prince,
   until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.

   ~~~~~~~~

   One kiss from you, however,
   and I will turn back
   into the dapper, young prince that I am

   ~~~~~~~~

   and then, my sweet, we can marry

   ~~~~~~~~

   and set up housekeeping in your castle

   ~~~~~~~~

   with my mother,

   ~~~~~~~~

   where you can prepare my meals,

   ~~~~~~~~

   clean my clothes, bear my children,

   ~~~~~~~~

   and forever feel

   grateful and happy doing so. "

   ~~~~~~~~

   That night,

   ~~~~~~~~

   as the princess dined sumptuously

   ~~~~~~~~

   on lightly sautéed frog legs

   ~~~~~~~~

   seasoned in a white wine

   ~~~~~~~

   and onion cream sauce,

   ~~~~~~~~

   she chuckled and thought to herself:

   ~~~~~~~~

   I don't freakin think so

     Finally got the carport up this past monday. I don't like it. It takes light away from the inside of the house. It is shorter then the old one was. Oh well have to add on at a later date.

     The park sent out a letter about a state inspection that is comming up. All spaces need to be repaired and maintained well. Good thing I finally got a gardner so I could get the grass mowed. With the rain we had it is finally green. First time in 8 years I have a green yard.Wish it was dead like it use to be. Low maintance withno grass.

     I have been working on the kitchen. I have made a list of things that need to be done it there so I will be sure everything gets done. One thing I am glad of is that I built the shelves where the refrig is suppose to be. It gives me more storage space. I made it into a pantry.need to make a curtain to hide it . I think it would look better.

     Chynna was home form school all last week with strep throat. I went to get her homework on friday so she won't be so behind.

     The park in under new management and is not claiming dogs must soend 75% of the day within the home. Mine love to be outside. I will have to train them to stay inside and not tear the house up or use it for a toilet. Still haveing trouble crate training Koda he is being real stubborn and will not do as I want. Kierra runs in the crate when I open the door to let her in the house. Koda is being nice again and letting her share his crate at night.

     Mike is sound asleep and my insomia is acting up. Am hafing alot of trouble sleeping. Sleep meds are not working.

     Am going to get some sleep.

 

Nite y'all

Recieved this in an email thought it was interesting.

 

One hundred years ago.

What a difference a century makes! 

Here are some statistics for the Year 1907 :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                The average life expectancy was 47years.

Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.

There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 milesOf paved roads.

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10mph.

The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel  Tower!

The average wage in 1907 was 22 cents per hour.

The average worker made between $200 and $400 per year .

A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year,

A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year. 

More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME .

Ninety percent of all doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION!
Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which
Were condemned in the press AND the government as "substandard."

Sugar cost four cents a pound.

Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.

Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.

Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used
Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.

Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from
Entering into their country for any reason.

Five leading causes of death were:
                1. Pneumonia and influenza
                2. Tuberculosis
                3. Diarrhea
                4. Heart disease
                5. Stroke

 The American flag had 45 stars.

The population of  Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30!!!!

Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea
 Hadn't been invented yet.

There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day.

Two out of every 10 adults couldn't read or write.

 Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school.

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists said," Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health."( Shocking? DUH! )

 Eighteen percent of households had at least
 One full-time servant or domestic help.
 

There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE !  U.S.A. !

 Now I forwarded this from someone else without typing
 It myself, and sent it to you and others all over theUnited States, &  Canada
 Possibly the world, in a matter of seconds!

                Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years.
                IT STAGGERS THE MIND, EH ?
