A little rain never hurt

I probably added this picture already but I had to try again to get both the writing the right size and the picture... Now if its right or not I have to get moving.... we are going to my neices wedding tonight and it takes me longer to get ready than it used to .... thats what getting old does and then I still won't look that good but just presentable.... Its the pits isn't it? LOL 
I'm happy to be going to see all my family tonight though as we haven't been all together for a long time... I'm one of 9 children so that is why I guess. At least we all keep in touch.                                    It looks like it might rain but the weather man said not until later, I hope he's right. Cross your fingers for us so it doesn't start until we are all  inside.

P S it didn't rain and we all had a wonderful time!

AOL JOURNALS 1ST ANNIVERSARY

I couldn't get the picture in larger so I gave up immediately since I have to go and watch the convention now... the writing should be large now though as the size is 18 as 14 was still small.... Maybe in the second year I can get them both the way I want again, lol

Just playing around

I have it up to 18 now and its smaller than ever but the picture is big so I'm half way to figuring out whats wrong.

Beautiful Summer Day

I couldn't get any pictures in the big way  so I decided to add them this way and then I kept adding and adding. Now I don't have much time left to write anything.
  We went shopping yesterday and I bought the CD's of Bill Clintons book. He is reading it so its much easier and more interesting to me than reading the book. I also picked up my glasses. I had transition lenses put in my frames because the sun causes bad headaches. Then I decided to spend some more money and get a new tv for my spare room. I got one that has a  20 inch screen but the back is so  long that now I have to get a different cart or table for it I guess. always something isn't there?  Right now its sitting on my sewing machine but I would have a hard time lifting it on and off everytime I need to sew. This little room is just getting cosier and cosier with more and more stuff I keep adding... I need bigger but thats not going to happen. I did think the tv was small enough ~ I suppose I was only thinking of the good buy... It was only $128 and it has a flat screen and looks really nice.
  We have been having warm days and lots of sun so the flowers need lots of water now so after Peaches and I went for a little walk I watered the back ~ I will do the front later. It takes pretty long and since I am doing laundry and hanging a few things out it will have to wait... now I really must get going or I won't get the clothes I want on the line and they will have to go into the dryer. lol
  Have a nice day ~ we are!!!!!!

Just a beautiful day

Today is another beautiful day. Saturday and Sunday were both as beautiful... sun and low humidity and temps around 75 as a high. We are blessed. We watched racing and golf yesterday and also went to Church and out for brunch and shopping for another book and odds and ends....
I'm looking forward to watching the convention tonight... I thought it would be on much longer but maybe on CNN as Im watching Hillary Clinton speak now so It maybe interesting anyway and in the meantime I read one book I got on Thursday and am half finished with another Nicholas Sparks book I got yesterday... I will finish Bill Clintons book too but its more intertaining to read the others and easier too. ;)
Hope you are having as nice of a day!

Day with Sisters

You would be surprised what Charlie is looking for ~ he sees chipmunks and little bunnies and birds when looking out this door and also is getting fresh air. When ever he is not eating or sleeping he wants me to open this door for him and I always do until it gets way too cold in the winter.
   Yesterday I met my sisters for brunch and we went thrift shopping and flower shopping... I got a really neat game for my grandaughter. Its sort of a puzzle with the states and when you put one in and press it tells the name of the state and the capitol and what the state is called like Wisconsin is the badger state... and it plays music also like the star spangled banner. it has a handle to carry and a little drawer to put the states in ~ I was lucky because all the states were in the drawer ~ we even had fun with it so I hope she does too. I also got her a couple of puzzles and me a couple of books. I also got 5 more plants and then I ordered some glasses that change to sun glasses when you go out side... forgot the new name for those darn things... Last night I went with Leo to get some plant stakes and of coarse on the way home we passed another flower place and I had to get 3 more day lilies ( they were calling my name)  Today is a nice cool day with low humidity so I will plant my flowers and water my hanging plants as they say its not going to rain for a week....
Leo had to take my car back to the shop as he said when he drove it yesterday the brakes were pulling or something. He can't figure out what they did as they were fine before we had them checked. I hope they straighten it out... funny thing when I was driving it yesterday it was driving fine. I guess it has to drive ok for both of us though. It must be pretty bad for him to take it back in though as he usually doesn't do that.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday and if I don't get in soon a nice week end too!

I finally got in again!

This isn't exactly the one I wanted but I got in and added a picture after fooling around a little and turning the computer off for a few hours. It was probably just too busy this afternoon I guess.
Anyway this is my big Hydrangea in bloom.  Now I can read everyone else's journals as I have mine straightened out again.......  :)

               I have 2 other entries today too in case you want to see what was going on with me today... the other pictures were already put in the other day and I wanted one like this in and couldn't get it and they kept giving me different reasons... I say the site was just too busy and it was my turn not to get to add pictures today....
