New Beginning

Today is a new beginning here on my blog. Pitchers and Catchers (Red Sox Spring training is around 3 weeks away and I even heard a mention of Mardi Gras. It is veeeey early Spring. reeeeally!

I have been running every day for over 5 years and I always take my little Kodak. It is a Kodak Easy Share C533 that I got for a steal because it was a return in a torn box. (you get a 20 or 30 day return privilege). Never be a snob about this stuff. (In Best Buy and Walmarts this stuff is in a locked case near the cash registers in electronics.) I think this is our third nice camera bought this way. I have a 2G memory stick ... no port, no program ... simple. This camera fits in a small cosmetic case with my coffee shop money. I have also added a Sansa clip MP3 player that I totally love.

Maybe it is the economy but I have been back to collecting Ginny and the patterns for her clothes. She fits the times somehow.

Hi, When I began this blog I decided to let it shape itself ... so to speak. Recently I was thinking of removing the posts about tea parties but really why? ...
Today is the march in Washington, DC and I imagine there will be very many people. We considered going on a bus but it didn't work out. The price was so cheap that I had grave doubts. We will attend a tea party in the next town.

On another note we have been doing work on our antique house and made some interesting discoveries. This ia a carving over our door.

We had our roof redone several years ago and the builder assured us that we didn't need a gutter. This was a big mistake and caused a lot of paint peeling (we bought our house as a fixer upper and it needs a lot of work.) Anyways we are now newly barn red except the door and I have been walking around town finding similar carvings.

Sat, August 29

It is time to divide this into two blogs.

Today I'm going to look for several things. I want some really outrageous pens to wreck my Wreck This Journal. And maybe some tea dye muslin to make a doll.

I want a delicious cosy Mystery to take to the beach. I did get a super one about an antiques dealer in NH (kind of a low key female Lovejoy)... can't touch the Lovejoy humor though.

I may get a cook book. We are having work done on our house and meals have gone to heck.

I have to buy something to wear to a wedding late today. arghhh!

My Team Sarah Poster

Hi, Boo Hoo ... I lost my Team Sarah Poster yesterday! I doubt anyone who sees this actually found it but you can post on team sarah or on facebook. Thanks.

August

Hi, This coming weekend is the first weekend in August... time for barbeques and beaches.

The congress mercifully goes on break. Responsible people can take time to read the HC bill that is available online. I hope all the bureaucrats can find time to study the bill. And maybe the Pres. will read the bill.

How nice that they have EXEMPTED themselves from ever having to have "US National health care". They won't have to tell their aging parents that they should choose between using antibiotics for an infection or just "getting out of the way" while we will all pay to have our aging parents counseled about "end of life issues" every 5 years. The Catholic Church in Boston has said they will close their hospitals before having to perform abortions. My point is that this is arrogant, thoughtless legislation. A person would have to be crazy to support it. No wonder congress has EXEMPTED themselves.

There will be a March on Washington in early September. It is too bad our media has so few people who understand the difference between reporting news and editorializing. You really have to search for articles like this one,

August and September will be busy months!

Thank God for our liberty.
