Flying Monkeys, Dish Towel Turned Apron, Quilt, Mom In Laws Tongue, Tim

Image
 Isn't it funny the things you remember? Today, I had my ex sister in law comment on a FB post about the Wizard of Oz, and how the flying monkeys always scared her. Even though they scared her, it was one of her favorite movies, along with  Gone with the Wind. With that mention of that movie I remembered that the first time I ever saw Gone with the Wind, my granddaddy ran the reel at the  drive in. My cousin and I went with our grqnddaddy to the drive in,  there was a porch like area above where he ran the reel with  seats up there. That is where we watched the movie.  I was maybe 12 or 13 then, 72 or 73.  I even remember my mom fixing my hair in a high pony tail, then pinned it under to make sort of a bun. Like I said, funny what we remember.  I went to Hobby Lobby last week,  after I got Lily home and watched her eat for a couple of days.  While I was there I picked up some clearance dish towels to throw in the Christmas box. Yes, I ha...

 I struggled in school, mainly cause as my mom put it, I thought I was going to school to socialize. haha   Okay, so maybe not struggled in the whole thing but a few classes. But I remember telling my mom yrs ago that if I had the internet in  school I would have been a straight A student. Was I a straight A student?.... haha.... NOPE! Did I get grounded cause of grades? oh, hell yeah! And in my house, when you got grounded for grades, it was for six weeks,  till the next report came out. Couple weeks of tv got taken away, but six weeks,  NO PHONE!! Talk about crushing a teen's social live. Oh yeah, back to the internet, I see things posted on FB and I go to the internet and read up on it. I would be so stinking smart, only now at my age, and with the fibro,  I sometimes have forgotten what I read before I close the laptop. I will explain that for those unaware, fibro robs you of the ability to focus. Enough on that. A fellow, well, she really is not a fell...

Loving Pigs, To and During, Adoptive Grands, 4 Generations, Evie, and The Look of Love

Image
I am not sure if I shared this  with  you or not, but Evie, loves the  color pink, more so she loves pink pigs! How cute is that? Here is a part of her bday gift I  don't think I shared with you, a canvas bag I painted on. By the way, she loved her pillow. Here I am headed to Evie's party. And the next three pics are me at the party with the kids. Brodie Beckham, who only wanted down to run and play.   And this sweet girl. Next few pics will be of my  adoptive brat  grandsons. Namath Chandler aka Chan Man And Brayden talking with Namath Jesse was sitting off to the back of the room and I did not get a pic of him. Except in a group shot. That is Jesse on the left end of the bench. Course Chandler did not get the  memo that said, look at the camera and smile! Four generations. Always sweet to have those generational pics. Evie's shirt says, "I  was 6, not I am 7"... so, she had a 6 7 bday party. I remember Cory and a backwards  party once ...

Where I Have Been, Biting or Not, Watercolors, Evie Card, Pillow and Lily

Image
 Morning everyone  Got up early on Friday, not really any earlier than normal but I started... MOVING, earlier than normal. I was at the docs office at 9:30 for my allergy shot. On my way out of the office I  stopped and picked up a treat.. So your question is, how many licks do you think I got? And did I lick it all the way down or did I bite it? From the docs office I met one of my new friends, Kim at the  Senior Citizens Activity Center (old folks work out place)! I mentioned to Kim on the phone  the other day that I needed to start doing, I have been wanting to do  chair yoga there. She jumped on that and said, "I will  go Friday with you"! Its accountability, if you are meeting someone, you tend to go and do. If you are thinking of going alone, you  might tend to not go. Sorta like my intent to make this  a regular thing, I registered 2.5 yrs ago, this was my first visit!  Yep....ACCOUNTABLILITY! And Kim is the woman that has paint ...
