Katla, I love the Budweiser commercials with the Clydesdale horses. Those horses are really amazing. A few years ago I was delivering Meals on Wheels and there was a sweet lady named Bernice who I got pretty friendly with. I would take her meal last on my route and sit with her while she ate. She was 99 years old and very…

I found something fun that's football related. We watched the "Puppy Bowl" on Animal Planet. It was hilarious, but the best part was watching Molly watch the puppies. She especially liked the kitten half time show. Neither of the other dogs watched, but she was watching every minute.

Hello everyone! Thanks for all the kind encouragement. I think I'm just about at the point of a major mental meltdown. I have to chill a little bit and then I can go on. My son called today and said that he and the kids are coming to my studio TOMORROW to work on the yarn bowl project for his wife. The kids are out of…

Hello all. I hope you are having a wonderful Saturday. I was not feeling well last night at all. I came home from the studio and just felt utterly exhausted and sore all over. My head hurt too. So, I took some Tylenol and laid down for an hour or so, wearing my sleep mask. It helped a little. This morning I was throwing up…

Still working like crazy on my drafting jobs. Two more came in overnight. I want to scream and hubby has dollar signs in his eyes. I went to the Y this morning and was sitting on the bicycle when another lady came in and sat at the bike next to me. This woman just REEKS of perfume. At least I suppose it's perfume. My lungs…

Too busy to do much here today. For the last three months I've had zero drafting jobs. Today I got ELEVEN! And they all want them asap. When it rains, it pours. Didn't exercise this morning as I was having a little angina last night and again this morning. Went to the doctor at 10:00 and she said all was well. I have to…

Hello everyone! Yesterday was such a lot of fun! Two ladies from my artist co-op group went with me to Springfield to visit an existing art coop. Before we went there, I drug them along with me to the clay supply store south of Springfield and it just happened that the lady working there was one of the artists at the coop…

Just got home from Springfield. Pooped. It was a good day. Good night.

This is me cleaning at the studio. Funny.

I'm beat! Trying to get white dog hair out of black carpet in the van is HARD! Why, oh why, does Chrysler insist on black carpet?!?! They wanted me to buy black seats too, but I whined till they found me one with the beige cloth seats I wanted. I did the best I could with it, cleaned the windows and removed all the junk,…

This is the sunrise this morning.

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all having a great day! We woke to another beautiful sunrise, after a sky-on-fire sunset last night. It's been unusually bright and colorful. I love it, but hubby, the chemist, says it is pollution that causes those colors. Oh well. I ran around like a headless chicken this morning. I…

Eleanora, welcome! Where are you from? Tell us a little more about yourself! This thread has made all the difference to me. It's a great group of friends. To all the new ladies...Back on page 31(ish) we started posting little introductions of ourselves, so we can all get acquainted. If you have the time, you might look at…

Good morning! Here are some shots of the sunrise over our little lake. It was even more glorious five minutes before, but of course I didn't have my camera.

Pip, Kirbys shirt made me laugh out loud!

Cheri Gee, welcome! If you look at the top of this page, find the title of this thread "WOMEN 50 +..." On the right side of the page, directly in line with the title, is a tiny star. It's above the magnifying glass. Click on that star and it will turn yellow. Tomorrow, when you search for us, just go to the top of a page…

Good evening! It's been a glorious day here. This morning after the Y I spent a couple of hours in the studio. Then hubby called and said he had a totally flat tire. Now, just this morning he checked his tire pressured and they were all fine, then he went out to drive away and had a flat. We figured he just didn't get the…

I had such fun tonight. The kids came for dinner, and I'm really loving our new big table. It's so nice to have space for all the food on the table. Then we played Carroms for a long time. There was a lot of laughing. We were late getting them home because we got so carried away. It hit 71 degrees here today. It's my…

Oh, and has anybody ever used a ceramic yarn bowl? I've seen them but never used one, and never successfully made one either. I'm just wondering if you have one, do you like it? Do you use it? What features do you find useful? Thanks.

My son has a little red collapsible shopping basket that has recently bit the dust. I tried fixing it but it was just a bandaid repair. I had been looking at those shopping baskets online, including one at Amazon that looked very good. It was heavy duty and could hold 150 pounds, which is a lot of oxygen bottles. But, it…

Dr Katie - FUNNY! I have Dawn at home and didn't even think about it!

Bad news for me this morning. I accidentally showered using thickening shampoo instead of body wash. I can feel myself plumping up as we speak. My son pulled another no-show this morning. He was supposed to come over yesterday to make a yarn bowl for his wife but couldn't make it for some reason. He said he would come…

Good evening everyone! I didn't accomplish much today. Spent an hour at the Y, then had a Co-Op meeting at my studio till after noon. Hubby came for lunch so the ladies finally left. My son asked if he could come to my studio and make a yarn bowl for his wife for Valentine's Day, but he never showed up, after I spent an…

Marti, welcome! What part of the world do you come from? Tell us more about your puppy. You'll find we have several knitters here, so you'll be in good company. Portion control and exercise are two of the very best ways to start! I had fun this afternoon junk shopping with my friend Sue. We hit three flea markets and a…

I just lost a long post. Grrr. It's for the best though, as I was droning on again. Feeling better this morning. My troubles corrected themselves about 3am. It was scary. Mary, you are right about the skins. My doc told me the same thing and I sort of ignored it. This afternoon a friend and I are going to a place called…

My day did not go quite as I hoped. I in't get to throw much. My son came into the studio to use my computer and printer and he was wearing what he said were about his only pair of pants which have the entire knee torn out. So, after he finished, I asked if he felt up to a little shopping with me, and he said he did, so we…

Good morning everyone. That blasted man was on my machine again at the Y this morning, so I had to settle for the treadmill and bicycle, along with the machines. Our Y has a big gym (co-ed) and a smaller women's gym. When I finished in the women's gym I went back into the big gym and found my own hubby on "my" machine! He…

Hello everyone! It's warmer here today, but threatening rain. Our yard is already so muddy that when I got home from the store yesterday there were so many muddy footprints on the kitchen floor that it looked like a whole herd of wild buffalo had just stampeded through. Then, I noticed that the buffalo had gone into the…

Linda, yes, we are really roughing it. Our "cabin" is really a two story 3 bedroom 2 bath house that just happens to be on a lake. It's not a fancy house though. We don't have a garage. It didn't have an actual kitchen until we remodeled it a few years ago and added a full bathroom downstairs and the worlds smallest…

I took my fish tray out of the kiln today. Boo hiss. He has some superficial crackling right on his face. The slip was too thick in that spot. Otherwise I was fairly happy with him. He was an experiment, and I think it worked well enough to try it again.
