Tea Party Photos from Boston
Hi, These photos are from early in the day. I'm guessing at least 500 people were there. There was a second tea Party from 3:00 until 6:00 pm and I imagine a lot of people combined it with going to the fireworks on the esplanade. Not bad to find a few conservatives in Boston!!!

Tea Party
Hi, Happy Independence Day!!!
I'm going to a Tea Party today! I just re-did my sign. It is a little lumpy but it will look worse after our train ride!
I'm very happy today! I like Sarah.
I can't be silent about this stuff. This is why I have comments disabled. A.

"Material Obsessions" and "Stuffed"
Hi, Another title would be "the joys of our gorgeous remodeled Joanns" ... a veritable candy store!!! Imagine a Joanns with no big black areas on the floor with thread stuck in them where tiles had been removed in a previous rebirth.
And there was the new "Stuffed" and a beautiful quilting book, "Material Obsessions". And I had 2 coupons (!!!) and conned my husband into going through the line. That makes up for all the times the darn item was on sale already! A.

Serious Stuff
Hi, I keep thinking that this blog is an opportunity to do a little more than relate my day to day meanderings.
I’ve finally decided that the best thing I can do is continue to write about the lighter moments since we are confronted by so many serious facts these days. And I'm not gifted to write about serious stuff. I do want to suggest that you read “Liberty and Tyranny” by Mark Levin. This is not a good time to be ignorant about government and unfortunately there is little dependable information from our ordinary sources.
It is thundering and pouring rain for the twelth day. I wore my winter hat when I went running. I'm just a country girl ... how is raising our electric bill (oil, gas, taxes ... fill in the blank) ... going to help this global warming ... Not to mention changing to light bulbs that don't work. A.

Good Riddance to January!
Hi, I'm sorry to be scarce. It would help if I didn't keep loosing the expletive deleted password!!!
Thank heavens January is over!
This is a hard time of year for us anyways. We always struggle
through Jan. and Feb.. We're having a lot of snow. This time of year
we end up with one car frozen in a drift and the work car (ugh) to go
and get groceries in. I try to double up on everything at the market. We
have at least 3" of solid ice in out driveway and walking and
running are hazardous.
I did get to Walmart last week end. I was thrilled! I got a new Kodak pocket camera. Imagine ... 5.0 MP and 3x zoom for 79.00! The box is damaged ... big deal! (Always look at the locked case of retutned and former display cameras if you like a bargain. BestBuy and Walmart give you plenty of time for returns.) It is
real nice to have an easy to use Kodak again! ... So brace yourself for nature photos!
I also managed to buy a third Bisou from YahooJP ... Her name is Lilly and she is just super. Her wig is not coming until after Lunar New Years but I'll post photos as soon as I get it!
My neighbor moved to VA and gave me three orchid plants that I'm
delighted with. And I do have the seed catalogs out!
Red Sox start Spring Training soon. I'm signing up for Fantasy BaseBall too.
Hugs all around!

Almost New Year's Eve
Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve. I think they throw the old mattress out the window in Italy. Not a bad idea. Out with the old, in with the new! I'm going to clean the refrigerator! We take our trash to the dump which is a social occasion on Saturday. However Tuesday is the big dump day as it is closed on Monday. Definitely out with the old today ... I'm even tossing a rug. Cheap rugs are a really good thing!
Notice there is no mention here of cleaning out the computer/work room!
Another really good thing is that gas prices and heating oil prices are down. I don't intend to get too political with this blog... But I must say it is a very sad idea (trust the New York Times) to suggest higher gas taxes. Is this another "fair tax" even if it is bad for our economy?
