April 28, 2010 Lots of time

No amount of watches could give me the time I need. It's almost like money. You have it but you don't know where it all went

April 27, 2010 Daddy and watch/post card

I think this was Papa's watch. It was another class project. I don't know who has the watch now. I gave it back to mother.
They changed things on this blog. I couldn't get my picture in. I went to help and it seems that many people was having this problem. I spent at least 30 minutes on this. So it is now in.

April 26, 2010 Where does the time go Iris

Close up of the latest iris that bloomed. One of my favorites. It has the purples and oranges. Can you believe that I was vacuming when you called. I like to come back home from vacation to a somewhat clean house. I have a week after I get back from vacation to having a brunch at my house.
Kris had a open house for our 4 teams of Relay that used to be one. It was fun. Some of my friends came that I haven't seen in awhile. I also don't see Kris or Robin that often. I now have 10 survivors on my team.
Is Laska doing ok. Her daughter will probably be in the hospital for a few days. My friend was in for 5 or 6 days. He was also running a temperature.
I am thinking about weight watchers after I get back from vacation.  When I think about not eating is when I want to eat and that is when I do eat. I thought summer would be better. Well, I guess it's not summer but sometimes it feels like it.

April 25, 2010 Daliah and white rose petals

Looking at some of my old projects in photography. This was in my still life collection. School forced me to see things differently.

April 24, 2010 Bird of Paradise

This plant is so pretty in color but so artistic in black and white. It is so late but I didn't want you to think that I died if I didn't blog. I am glad you returned from the dead.
I got a new touch ipod  Supossedly you can do so much on it by just transferring from your computer. I have been working on this for hours and haven't done it.  So,. I am going to bed.

April 23, 2010 In the Race

We are always in the race for something! Sometimes we win, sometimes we don't! The main thing is: We Try!
I hope you are feeling ok. I noticed you didn't blog one or two days. Take it easy for awhile

April 22 ,2010 Sun rays

Daddy used to say " It's going to rain. The sun is drawing water".

April 21, 2010 Corn Stalk

This is a picture of a corn stalk that Manuel grew in his garden. We just watched Food, Inc on public TV.  It makes you wonder what you are eating, who grew it and how they grew it. In other words grow your own, and almost to the point that it might be easier to be vegetarian. I sent you a little booklet on GMO foods. That is the foods you should avoid.

April 20, 2010 Two different looks

Right after cross into Florida, we stopped to take pictures of us in Florida. I loved this view and the light so I took this picture on the left. Now that I have been home for awhile, I decided to play with that picture. I solarized it by adding a filter and decided I liked this look too.

I am glad you are feeling better. It rained a lot today, we got a little hail and LOUD thunder. I didn't see lighting though.

These birds show up about once a year. They are so blue. I hope it brings you happiness. Hope you are feeling better. I am really tired today so I think I will go to bed early. I am trying to drink more water. It is hard to do on cooler, no exercise day. I got leg cramps really bad last night.
Today was the day to start pruning our trees. He is going to finish tomorrow. It already looks so much better. it is supposed to rain tomorrow. He said it had to really pour before they would quit.
Get well!

April18, 2010 Sunrise in Nevada

He is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings the grass from the earth.
2 Samuel 23:4

Hope you are feeling better!

April 17, 2010 Trees at Blue Lakes, CA

Then the trees of the forest will sing, They will sing for joy before the Lord, For he comes to judge the earth.
1 Chronicles 16:33

Another place that Sandie and I camped This was right after finishing chemo and radiation. 3 days in her camper truck, campsite right on the water. It was relaxing.

April16, 2010 GO

A white iris in my back yard. I worked in the yard most of the day. Everything is growing. Weeds and all! Hope you had an exciting time in Las Vegas.
This was an interesting statement in a Relay article.

"Go! Did you know this is the shortest sentence in the English language? It really packs a punch without wasting time."
This could be used good or bad . It has energy either way.
Have a good weekend where ever you GO.

Flowers appear on the earth; The seasons of singing has come, the cooing of the doves is heard in our land. Song of Solomon 2:12.
This has been a good day! I am finished with all medicines for allergic reactions.

April 14,2010 Upper Falls at McCloud

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. Psalm 42:7

The upper falls at McCloud on the camping trip that Sandie and I took.

April 13, 2010 Middle Falls outside McCloud, CA

Sandie and I went camping near McCloud September,  2009. Beautiful country!


Let the rivers clap their hands, Let the mountains sing together for joy.
Psalm 98:8

April12, 2010 Calla Lilies

I love calla lilies. These were at our church. Tonight was bridge and I came in second. I took some of my cards to sell and donate to Relay. I got $40.00. I was going to do that at my art group but I was on bendryl and couldn't go anywhere.
We had rain, thunder and hail today! Tomorrow is supposed to be good.
Have a good trip and have fun and lots of good information.

April 11, 2010 Easter sunrise breakfast

Easter sunrise breakfast. I don't like pancakes with syrup and butter so I made a sausage sandwich pancakes. Eating eggs out don't always agree with me either. So sausage and pancakes was ok. I would have gone home but I gave a ride to this woman that lives kinda close to me. She likes to eat everything in sight and really wanted to go to the breakfast. Bud didn't want to go that early.
We had a lot of rain today and some more is expected tomorrow. I am glad we got the garden done yesterday. I am taking benydryl and predisone at night I think the predisone is keeping me awake and bendryl can't put me to sleep.

Since you are going to your Avon convention soon, I thought you might want to take along this picture of the model from Provo. She is wearing lipstick ( the latest shade) And finger and toenail polish to match.  Her hairdo is the best and the hair covering! Wouldn't you like to have a rack like that? I love the color of her top but the belt doesn't do much for me. The shoes show off her trim tan legs.
I almost didn't notice her eye makeup.

I think she would be a dream model for a great Avon person. You would be the envy of all the other Avon people in Las Vegas.
I guess you can tell that I feel better. I don't itch so much. I signed up 2 more people in the garden and measured our 13 plots and staked them. I only have 3 more plots to rent out.

April 8 Grampa and the kids

My last old picture for awhile. Buddy , Daddy, Norma and me, The boys are Aunt Velma's boys, Mitchell and Harold.
Today wasn't my best day but I got lots of good sleep I have an allergic reaction to something. I have a rash on my neck, face and my eyes are swollen plus a big itchy rash on my side. I took 2 benadryl and it put me out. It helped the itch some. I am going to take 2 more soon and go to bed. 

April 7, 2010 Uncle John

One of my other favorite pictures. Grandpa's brother Uncle John. Doesn't he look like the old South?
I got 2 more people signed up to garden and Manuel came out to check what we need for Sat. It was a busy but good day. I am glad that I don't have to go anywhere early tomorrow.

April 6, 2010 Interesting old family picture

an old scanned picture. All I have on it is Aunt Pearl Smith family. I like it. It says so much but who are they except some of Aunt Pearl's family. If I ever get caught up, I have to go through my pictures so some one in the future won't say "wonder what their names are".
Today was a good day. I had 3 calls on the garden and meeting with them tomorrow plus meeting with a landscape college class. Sat., the boy scouts will finish the work on the garden and most of that work will be done (if they get the water pipe fixed soon) Sat., all the recipes are to be in and I don't have to bug any more people. Then I will start working on the team. While watching Biggest Loser, I got all the paint sticks on the cards (fans) you sent me. At least that is a start.My next big thing to do is to do what you are doing----- watching what I eat and LOSE.

April 5, 2010 Birds

This nursery rhyme goes like this:

Birds of a feather flock together.
and so will pigs and swine.
Rats and mice will have their choice
and so will I have mine.

So I choose  you to be mine.

Today was a good day. I got another gardner who is interested. The bad thing is the pipe is broken that carries our water from the ditch. I know it will get fixed soon, but it is not at the most opportune time.
That was my day!

Easter Sunday Sunrise service

Easter Sunday! To be a threatened rain, quite a few people came out. It didn't rain and the sun didn't show and it was 39 degrees. It was still a good service. We celebrated the day with family last week so I came home and spent the rest of the morning working at getting some of the ivy out. It is supposed to be in the 70's next week so the snakes may be out (in the ivy) We had high winds and rain this afternoon so I am back to being housebound

and 'tis my faith that every flower enjoys the air it breathes.
William Wordsworth

I worked out in the yard all day today. I got lots done but lots more to do. It is going to rain by noon tomorrow . So I needed to get as much done as I could. I think I overdid my wrist, so I now have my brace on and going to bed soon. We are going to sunrise service, so I need to get up early.

April 2 2010 After the walk----Waiting for our door prize

I think the wind made me tired today. Tomorrow is supposed to be better. I signed up a girl for the garden today. I have been working on the garden paperwork and recipes for Relay. I still have more to do on both of them. See if you can post comments now. I changed lots of settings. I am open to the whole world. I am going to bed earlier tonight.

April Fools Day

This plant was never an April Fools for me. Poison Oak(or ivy) is really out now. There is a lot of it around here and also on my school trip. It put me in the emergency room once.
This is a good way of recognizing it.


LEAVES OF THREE, LEAVE IT BE!
