This can't be right
Walked into Lowe's and what do I spot?? that's right! I spotted a holiday called Halloween which does not come for months yet. Many months!
To add to the insult, it was a 100 degree day. I was just so thankful I did not spot a Christmas tree, that would have pushed me over the edge.
Those little guys are kind of cute.
Asking the experts
I would really like to grow my blog. I need advice from all of you who have such wonderful blogs. I am not sure if I should respond to your comments, on the blog or by email?
Love reading the comments, even if I am just reading them on your blogs.
I am so thrilled to meet you, and I would love to meet more. Now, this is a little hard for me as I am so darn shy. For a long time people have said I was stand offish or thought myself better, and that's not true at all, I am terrified of people. I like you a lot you just scare me!!
So, I think I am ready to expose myself and all my faults and short comings and to learn so much from you. Do you know, I have lived in this new little community for a year, have talked to one neighbor once and the other neighbor, just moved away this week end. Hope it wasn't from something I said. I only spoke to her a few times.
so if you can spare a little advice, I would love it!!

So Tiny
Our human society raised funds for a brand new shelter. When it was built, they became a no kill shelter. I love animals so loved to hear that. Before they were no kill, I was visiting with my daughter when a lady came in with a box of tiny little kittens. The crew told her they could not take the babies, as they were to small to leave their mom. The lady did not care, there was no way she was going to keep those kitties. So with tears in her eyes, one of the staff, took the kitties to the back to put them to sleep.
Now, things have changed and they work through volunteers that will take the babies and give them a home, and loving care until they are big enough to go back and find a forever home.
If I remember right, they have
to be three pounds before
they go back.
I am so glad there are people that will open their hearts and homes to lost dog's and cats in need of love.
JUST THINKING!
Random thoughts that flow throw my brain are not always good thoughts. sometimes they are so jumbled I don't even know what I am thinking.
Right now, my thoughts are on those in Texas. I check the computer often for any post by my Texas friends and hope and pray they are alright, so far they are all safe.
That leads me to think about the kindness of strangers, some risking their own lives for people they don't even know, and I think how kind and wonderful people are. Then, of coarse the story is interrupted by someone looting or price gouging and I wonder why.
My thinking goes to the fact that we have so much, all the food we need, we live in a world where so much is just handed out to people and they are bored. There was a time, when our very lives hung on the amount of work done. Each day was about survival. There was no time, to even think about being unhappy with what we didn't have. Not so these days.
I don't want to be a downer person, there is so much good and love in this world. Let us pray each day, let us always find the good in others.
Let us fill our cup with joy. This cup is special and always reminds me to have a good day, it was given as a gift when I finished my last chemo.
I hate to be the one to break it to you but! The Queen is not coming for tea. I know, you have been cleaning, polishing and chasing every little crumb but she is not coming.
You have the tea set all ready.
your about as ready as you can be--
she still is not coming.
So, use your best china, that fancy tea cup? use it!! Use it today.
In the morning, pour your coffee in the fanciest set you can find and treat yourself. That special occasion you are saving all your fancy dishes for, well, that day is today.
Turn up the music and dance. Name the dust bunnies and celebrate dirty dishes, they represent good food and a good time with family.
Never put chores before fun. Those day's when the thought tries to over power you and you feel the urge to clean and polish, resist and spend your days doing what you love, with those you love. Remember the queen is not coming!!
Seven members!!
I have seven, wonderful members who have joined my new blog. I am so happy!! Now, I feel like I am talking to you instead of my pretend people.
I also have met some wonderful new people, so giving and helpful in giving me a shove in the right direction.
I try hard to comment on your blogs, to let you know how much I appreciate all the work you are putting in your blogs.
I have learned more about gardening, finding plants I didn't know would grow in my area. I have learned decorating on a budget, you don't have to be rich to have a rich look. I have learned new recipe's. Most of all I have new friends.
No Recipe
This has got to be close to my all time favorite cake and you do not need a fancy recipe to make it.
All you need is: Yellow cake mix, although they make pineapple cake mix now. some brown sugar, can of pineapples, some maraschino cherries, lots of butter.
A mixer would help and so would an oven to bake it all in.oh, yes, my favorite. so yummy and moist and just plain good.
