Cat Napping, Red, White and Blue, Day Lily, Friday Morning

Image
 Started to bed on Thursday night and  looked over on the back of the couch to see this babe. She had her little head turned up. There are some times that she is tucked in at such a way that  you can't tell where the head starts or ends. Feeling like  CRAP on Thursday but feeling like I needed to do something, I made this. Only this one cause I pushed myself to do it. Picked up the stars at  Dollar Tree, two to a pack for a buck 25. Two red, two blue and two white. So yep, I will be making another one. My middle grandson got a job for the summer. He works at a  gas station/market stocking the  cooler, taking out trash and etc. Four hours a day. But he starts at five, Amber is  30 mins away and don't get off till five, so Nana picks him up and  takes him to work.  When I did that on Thursday,  then got home, before even going in the house I watered my  plants. My Day Lilies given to me by Theresa are blooming and I have a TigerL...

Aprons, Flags, Elephant, Trucks, Minnie and Art

 If you are on FB you prob have seen this before, I see it once or twice a year.  But with that said, I love it.  The History of 'APRONS' I don't think most kids today know what an apron is. The principle use of Mom's or Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath because she only had a few. It was also because it was easier to wash aprons than dresses and aprons used less material. But along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven. It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears. From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven. When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids.. And when the weather was cold, she wrapped it around her arms. Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove. Chips and kindling wood were brough...

Holy Crap... Wed. headed to the chiro, was not feeling well and on the  way home I decided to stop at  Fast Pace... Knowing in my head and body that the second round of  meds, did not fix the  problem. I knew I still had a  freak'n UTI. Yep, three times,  I hope is the charm! Third rounds of meds.  I did remember to ask the  doc what did the culture  come back as and they printed it off for me. According to what I looked up and read, it is a bacteria  that grows in the digest  system, and usually is picked up in the hospital. My guess is, I have been carrying  this since my surgery in Sept.  I have had three bad bouts of UTI, so my guess is, it  has not yet been cleared up. I shall be calling my general  doc and let her know what is going on, then with that,  I am going to hook up with  a urologist here in this area to get this mess cleared up and  knocked out. This literally sucks.  This is C...

Misty the TV Star, Above the Bed, Fairy, Wood Burning and Paintings

Hi.....I am back, or at  least for now. Finished up  meds for the UTI yesterday morning, but today, I am feeling like it is not done with me. Waiting  another day or so and will investigate, in other words, I will go back to the doc if things are not right soon.  One morning while chilling on the couch, I was watching tv and I had been watching for a while... never noticing Misty in  the left hand corner. She was just sitting there, on the cable box, looking my way. haha... and the next morning, while enjoying my coffee, Misty was in her spot again. See the little set of cat ears above the coffee cup!! I did share with you the paintings I have been working on to go  above my bed, to match my spread. Pretty sure I have not shared the  finished shot since I have not been blogging and it took me days to climb up there and hang them. What do you think? Remember my Fairy? The one that got broke right into during the move. I E6000'ed her legs back on to...
