Kristy's 3 kittens July16 2010

Organize! Organize! I have so much to get rid of. We have been in this house for 33 years. Imagine how much more that I have to get rid of. Not only do I have STUFF I have 33 years worth. Then I have the darkroom. When I started going digital, I left things just as they were and it needed cleaning up then.
I have to do what you are doing and just take the time to get organized.
The kittens belong to a woman at the garden. Another lady out there brought a king snake to the garden. He is a good snake and will kill rattle snakes and gophers. I don't know how he is going to stay where he is put.
Tomorrow is a day to go go Woodland to see Bud's sister. My neighbor is gone again and I am watching the dog. At least it is not the 4th of July and I like the dog.

Veggies and fruit July 15, 2010

Another school project. We are using the light table Produce doesn't last that long when you have a bright light source underneath it and there are 4 of us in aa group wanting to use the same produce. It was fun!
We had 101 today and tomorrow is predicted to be 103-107 degrees

Another Breasy Cancer Ribbon July 14, 2919

Another big Breast Cancer Ribbon. It is located at a Chinese restaurant. It was good to talk to you today.

STOP YOUR WHINING! July 13, 2010

"What counts is not necesarily the size of the dog in the fight------it's the size of the fight in the dog." Dwight Eisenhower-Address to the Republican Convention on January 31, 1958
This is one of my early black and whites. This made me think of your struggle blog. We all have struggles with something. Like your Tuesday night meetings, their struggles are big, but they are doing something about it. You have done something about your food struggle. ME__ I have pushed the food struggle down a notch. Now I have a more important struggle!! GOPHERS! GOPHERS! They are destroying my garden at home. I guess that is why I have 2 gardens. The size of the fight in this dog (me) is getting bigger!
If ever I see him, I am not going to show any mercy. I used to wonder where my time went. I am always chasing gophers and losing. That is my struggle for today. Tomorrow will be better!
A bigger struggle tho is with Tammy facing her core biopsy. I hope everything comes out good.

People sandwich July 12,2010

A girl from the Art department needed a portfolio of some of her art for class. Her friend and I did pictures for her. I never got the real meaning of her work. Was it: the world is so crowded with people, that it is like being sandwiched together? Or is it that we like each other so much, put us together and we would make a great sandwich? It isn't good nutrition, she used white bread.
Bottom line.....It is a weird piece of work!

Traci July 11, 2010

I have always loved this picture of Traci. The lighting was just right and she is surrounded in white.
I really like what you are doing with your food. Once you really made up your mind, you are there! I am still not there. I am finding new recipes for zucchini and they are not always low cal. Plain zucchini gets boring. It looks like I am in for a boring summer. My friend found a hole under her squash plant, she dug around and it was a baby bunny nest with one bunny. I remember when daddy found a new nest with lots of bunnies. Manuel was looking for ripe tomatoes in his garden and something moved. He said he jumped a mile thinking it was a snake. It was a fat toad! You can see what an exciting summer is in store for me!!!

Garden Day July 10 2010

I don't have any pictures that I want to use today. So you got me! We had a workday at the church today. It was hot! My zucchini had gotten so big, I could have hurt someone with a few of them.
I went to therapy yesterday, so today I am starting the 3 exercises 3 times a day. I am beginning to wonder if it's not better to have a bad knee than to do the exercises. Just kidding! But by the time I am done with the one that I have to do for 10 minutes, I am hurting. It must be like a frozen shoulder---you have to break through.
Tomorrow is my last day with the cat next door. The alarm system doesn't bother me any more.
I am really proud of you for doing so good on your eating. I was really hungry today. Nothing would satisfy me. I wasn't real bad but not real good either. You certainly did good going to a pie event and coming home for your smoothie. Keep up the good work. I may be joining you.
