All Set

August 21st, 2009

Today I did not get up until quite late and then I spent the afternoon at the Ruston library and came home late this afternoon with ten audio books.  They are all on CDs for I much prefer CDs over tapes for it is much easier to backtrack  if I fall asleep while listening.   [...]

Found Photographs Of Quilts

August 20th, 2009

I did not have to cook tonight for Brian went to pick up Christy and will not be here for dinner.  I kept it simple and just had leftovers.  After that I was having a chocolate craving so I made some microwave brownies.  I like to cook them a couple of minutes longer than necessary [...]

LSMSA Quilt

August 19th, 2009

LSMSA is the Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts and students with high grade point averages and other qualities attend for their last two years of high school.  Brian attended his junior year and the first semester of his senior year.  I became involved in the Parents Association and permitted myself to be [...]

Cooking Again

August 18th, 2009

Sunday afternoon Brian took Christy to her sister’s for a visit so I am the cook until she returns.   When Christy is here, she cooks and I clean but Brian does not offer to be the one who cleans up.  Typical man but I really don’t mind.  Also since Christy is gone, I get up [...]

Stress Busters

August 17th, 2009

For the past few days I simply cannot think of anything to say so I am posting things that I did not write but that I really like a lot. CHRISTIAN WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn’t happen, you have worried [...]

The White Lie Cake

August 16th, 2009

I do not know where this came from except that someone sent it to me in an email.  I have no idea if it is true or not, but it could be and even if it is not true, it is hilarious.  At least I think it is very funny especially since it is about [...]

Another Week Is Over

August 15th, 2009

Another forty-five minutes and the day and the week will be over and I cannot think of one important thing that I did this week.  Well today I did do a load of laundry, loaded and unloaded the dishwasher, and hemmed a pair of pants that I bought about a month ago.  And, I have [...]

Aristocratic Title

August 14th, 2009

As any blogger knows, there are hundreds of little quizzes that one can take and then post the results on a blog.  I have done one or two but find them not true of me at all and in my opinion most seem to be aimed at kids anyway so I just do not bother.  [...]

Looking Good After A Haircut

August 13th, 2009

I had an appointment for a haircut last Tuesday but had to cancel for I had too much to do on Mignon’s quilt.  Finally today I was able to get my hair cut so that I no longer look like a shaggy dog.  It is such a shame to get one’s hair done and then [...]

Old Age

August 12th, 2009

The last few days I have definitely been feeling my seventy years of age.  It seems that nearly every muscle and joint in my body aches but I am still plugging along and am happy with life.  I found the essay below somewhere on the Internet and it says so well the way I feel. [...]
