Trouble fixed?????

Hi,
   I looked into My Pictures because that is where the trouble seemed to be coming from and I deleted a few pictures and the journal works fine now.... I didn't know you had to delete from there but it worked so whatever works I guess... anyway Im happy I can use my journal again.  Sorry the pics are too big again though Janice. I will try to fix that too.... I will get it right yet, lol

Trouble in the Journal

Peaches and Twinkie went to the groomers today. Doesn't she look pretty? they even put bows in her hair. If I can get in here again I will put in a pic of Twinkie.
I don't know what the trouble is but maybe you can't get into my journal either. As soon as I get in there is something about youve got pictures that pops up and then it says to press ok and I do and nothing happens... the journal is gone. I clicked on to add another entry right away so I don't even know if this will get in or not. I wonder if I have to fix it somehow or it will eventually fix itself... I only have seconds to do anything before it disappears.    :(  Sandra

Another nice day

Charlie is waiting for an important phone call I guess or he just found an empty spot to observe the area.... good ole Charlie.

I finally remembered how to add pictures from Hometown again. I got lazy for awhile and then I forget how to do it... LOL Then while I was going through my files to find some addresses etc I came accross a card telling me how. Now I will be able to get my pictures in without you being the one that has to make them bigger...

I have a sore muscle in my shoulder that has been causing me much discomfort the last couple of days. I guess it was because I was trying to get the snow to melt faster and was shoveling the heavy stuff off the big piles in the back yard.... I hope I remember not to do that again. I am too impatient I guess. We have been getting days around 60 lately and you wouldn't believe how much is melting.... well I suppose you would. :)  A couple of days ago everything was still white and now we only have a few little hills along the edges... It is supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow so that will help too. The only problem is there is cooler weather behind this and we will probably get hail too... hope not.

If anyone wants to hear Dr Dyer speak a little he will be on QVC at 9 tonight. I stayed up until 1 last night to hear him.... I have the tapes he is selling but I did buy another book today called Manifest Your Destiny .... I have the cd's but I wanted the book too. Makes a lot of sense to me and he has helped me a lot or I mean what he says has helped me.
I hope everyone is having a nice day today, Sandra

It's Warm today

My daughter sent me this picture of Morgan and Brenna in their Easter dresses. Its second to actually seeing them but its nice never the less.

We are finally having a beautiful day today. I didn't get my laundry finished today yet because I had to go outside and sit on the porch for awhile. When Leo got home he sat with me and we talked about his little operation today. He had a growth on his eye lid that was getting bigger so he went to a plastic sergeon our dr recommended and got it removed. he had 4 little stitches put on the eye lid. they said tomorrow it would probably look like he has a black eye. It went fine and he feels fine.... The doctor called him a tough old bird, LOL Leo said the doctor was younger than our kids.... lucky if he was 30 but he was really good.

We then went to Wal Mart to get a few groceries and a sewing machine we can put in the closet ~ My sewing machine is in a cabinet and the big tv is on the cabinet and I can't get it off myself and Leo doesn't like doing it either... I can mabe store my new machine under the old one. The old one was getting kinda old and the price of the new one was really really good. Now I hope it works. :>)We mostly want it to hem our pants and do a little mending when it comes up. I think if I wanted to make something big I would take the tv off.

I have lots of flowers in bloom today.... white, purple and yellow so far..The daffodils are budding out in front too. The back yard is a different story but maybe by the end of the week I will see some signs of life back there too. I put my table on the patio but didn't bring the chairs up because Charlie was laying on them ( they are stacked up) and I couldn't do it. I had a quilt over the chairs and he looked so cozy. I will take 2 and leave two for him I guess until it really gets warm outside.I'm pushing the season I guess but I can't wait... It says its 63 outside today..... I think it was for awhile. It really felt good to sit on the porch and just have a warm flannel shirt on..... Love Spring!!!!!!!
Hope you are having a nice day today too, Sandra

HAPPY EASTER

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter.
I should get to bed but I'm not tired ( I slept too late this morning) Did you color eggs? I did and it was fun. Did it a different way with the dye and decals in a box and you had to sponge it on and Leo and Rick got into the act and we all had a good time... All I can say is they are shinny,LOL but they will be good to eat tomorrow.
So not much more to say tonight, Sandra

Snow melting day

Today the Fly Lady said to clean out the jewelry boxes and get rid of Jewelry you no longer wear or haven't worn lately..... is she nuts? I believe you can never have enough old or new its all good to me... So instead of doing that I decided to wash my heavy winter sweaters and put them away until next winter. I then had room to put my summer tee shirts. I still have a lot of cardigans in the box on my shelf to wear with the tee shirts.... Im not dumb.... I know its still pretty cold and can get cold even in summer but not the winter sweater weather. So that took me awhile today. I still have some warm clothes in my closet and some summer things downstairs but I got a good start. Im anxious for Summer.
I'm listening to Katie Melua again today... I sure do love the way that girl sings!
Today is Good Friday and I will watch Mel Gibsons movie today..... Its going to be hard but I think I will watch it between 12 and 3 and it will remind me of how HE died to save us.....

Yellow Finch

I have been seeing the finches etc at the feeders every morning but this is the first time I have seen one all dressed in yellow!!!!!! Does this little bird know something I don't know...... Maybe just maybe the weather is going to warm up for us. I sure hope it does as I have never seen a yellow finch until we have warm weather.... I am ready!

Not much else happening around here. Yesterday was a busy day though. We cleaned out the little pill cupboard... funny how much stuff you can shove in a small space... now we have a lot of room in there again. I also cleaned out 3 craft drawers in my computer room and gave away at least 35 things. then we went to get gas.... $2.19 a gallon... whew. Good thing I don't use my car much I guess. It will probably last me 3 weeks or so .... not bad. Thats why I like my little car. Then I had to go to Walgreens and call the doctors office to order some pills for Leo and had to go all over town to get some more yarn to match the poncho Im making because I decided to make a bigger one. Then I paid my bills, the only thing I didn't do that was on my list was to water my plants.. got that done this morning though.
Today was the day to clean off any flat surfaces in the bedroom and dust them. Ours are still in pretty good order but I decided to clean out a box on my dresser and doing that I found some things to get rid of. Now I have a whole day ahead with nothing to do... Maybe I will crochet but I just don't want to sit all day. Leo is gone to wash my car so I'm stuck for awhile. I hope he comes right back after he is finished. :)

                        SPRING BRINGS HOPE

What delights us in the spring is more a sensation
than an appearance, more a hope than any visible
reality. There is something in the softness of the air,
in the lengthening of the days, in the very sounds and
odors of the sweet time, that caresses us and consoles
us after the rigourous weeks of winter.
