Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

Okay....here is the craftroom! It looks so crowded but I do have it in order so that I can find what I want. These 3 shelves are full.     And I actually have no more room!   The cabinet is also full.   But this is where the crafting starts....and finishes.   Fall is almost here.....   So I dug out four of these wooden plaques.   79 cents each.   Scrapbooking paper.   And these foamy feeling things that have peel off back for sticking to things.   And then I stopped taking pics. But this is what I came up with.   I am WELCOMING in the fall. Thanks for stopping in, Pam

For over 4 weeks I was unable to do anything! I had the shoulder surgery that started out mild, or so we thought before the MRI. Then looking at the MRI the doc said it looked like the rotator cuff was torn 80% only to find out when I went into surgery that it was a full 100% tear in the tendon and muscle.   With that said, I was wearing this BIG HONKING sling with a pillow in it that made doing anything impossible!   I have watched all the reruns and I know all the stupid commericals on TV.   But last Thursday I was able to remove the sling, able to do somethings within reason and don't overdo. Don't lift anything over 2 lbs and I could drive... Well, that is what I heard anyway. I asked the doc, he said, "I will not tell you that you can't, be careful"...I heard I could drive, just be careful.....when in fact in his voice and tone he was saying, "I rather you not for the next two weeks"....   Anyway, I a...

  Stop swimming!     LOL   As I stepped off the ship and on to Jamaica soil, this is one of the first things I saw. Isn't it pretty?     Local folk.     It's 5 o'clock somewhere! My sis in law, Lori and I.       Lori and I again.     Yikes, looks like I was shark bait.     Right next to Jimmy's place was Ocean 11. And this was our waitress. She delivered Lori's beer on the tray balanced on her head. She actually, lowered herself even with the table so that Lori could remove the beer.   Yep....I can see the mess I would have made if that was me!       Since they were not so busy the waitress played a game of ring toss with Lori.     Thanks for stopping in, Pam  

  One of the port of calls on my cruise in 2006 was Panama. My sis in law's father was along on this cruise and since he was stationed in Panama years ago, he wanted to take the fairy down the canal.   Me, loving history wanted to also take that fairy. It was an all day trip. Partly a sunny day and partly rainy.   We took a tour bus about an hours drive to the canal. Loaded up in the fairy and off we went.   This is the lake area before the canal.     Entering the canal. The things lined on the side of the canal, on the track are called mules. They tie up to the boats coming in to the canal to help line them up.     This is one boat that was waiting its time to line up in the canal.         Yet, another boat lined up waiting.     After we pulled into the canal this big guy pulled in behind us. As you can tell he took up the whole cancal but...

In 2006 my sis in law, Lori and I ventured off and took cruise with some of Lori's family.   First port of call was in Cozumel. That is where we swam with the dolphins. Sorry, no pics of that but I had a blast.     This is where we swam.   These little critters were everywhere.   Statue in a park area in Cozumel.   This is a local lady in a hut at the park.   Another one of these critters.   Outside the hut Eva (Lori's mom) and I had our pic made with the local lady.   Lori and I.   We took our cruise at the end of October in 2006. And boy was it hot in Cozumel. Really hot.     Thanks for stopping in, Pam

    I love PINTEREST! Have boards and pins but I also love to share some usual things I find with my brother, Mark.   I thought for an antique looking or country looking home this would be really neat.     If you are into fall or Halloween decorating this is cute.       I love this idea. I actually bought a tea kettle like this, spray painted it and its ready to hang as soon as I can get this arm out of the sling and get out there to do it. Thinking of hanging on my shed.   Now this I can see my brother doing. Neat and cool looking. Not my style since I go for the antique look.   To neat.....so funny what people can come up with. I like.   This is just plain neat. New meaning to water bed. Soft lighting and an issue sleeping, I think watching the fish would help.   I am all about storage. This wold be great.   Not my style but a nea...
