Time on my hands

Have you ever seen that TV commercial where the mom is pulling "minutes" out of the trash because her children have thrown away...........simply because they are "old" minutes. The kids explain that they would rather use "new" minutes. That seems like an incredibly profound statement to me.....

Wouldn't it be wonderfuul to have extra minutes of any shape or size..........old ones, new ones, red ones, blue ones - it wouldn't matter a bit. Just to be able to snatch a little extra "time" when you need them the most. How wonderful that would be. And what about times when you are involved in something you really don't want to be doing...........how would it be to simply pinch off a couple of minutes and lay them over on the shelf to use later. Strange thoughts for the day........

Monday - back to work.

I should have known better than to try to make plans for the weekend.

Do you know what the worst thing in the world is for anyone who still sleeps on a "water bed" ? Yep - waking up with wet feet. What a lovely way to start the day at 5:15 am on Sunday. HAHA - I only thought I was going to sleep in late.

Row, Row, Row your boat - gently up the stream.......

Somehow - things just did not work out the way I thought they would. On the positive side of the weekend - I did get a lot of good excercise. Hauling the garden hose in and out - wrestling with the old bladder and then shopping in a hurry to get a new one in place so I would have somewhere to sleep Sunday night. 300 gallons of water out and then 300 gallons of water in....

Some days are diamonds.......

Have you ever had one of those weeks???

Its Friday and I feel that I have earned the coming weekend. I will start if off by going to an Estate Sale after work. I never know what kind of "treasure" I might find.

Saturday, I plan to sleep in late - watch a little TV - drink a little wine - and sew to my hearts content!

I have a zuchini from the garden that needs to get cooked up into a zuchini bread.

Sunday will be the usual trip to WalMart, laundry, housework and hopefully a hug or 3 from grandkids.

Then back to work on Monday.

Time Warp

Time flies whether I'm having fun or not.

Working in a busy Tax Office leaves little time for much else from January till now.

I almost forgot that I even started this blog site. Ahhhh well - no harm done!!

Suddenly it's june in Texas and the temperatures hover near 100 degrees almost everyday.

I did manage to put in a small garden and things are trying to produce despite the heat and lack of rain. In the mean time the bluejays are enjoying the tomatoes more than I am.

I purchases a couple of rubber toy snakes and placed near the tomatoe plants but they are having no effect at all. Maybe a scare crow is in order.

Okra, cucumbers and zuchini squash are coming along nicely.

Most of my craft projects have been put on hold until recently.

There will be a new grandson in our lives in August so I am working on a baby quilt as well as crocheting one. Mostly I work on them in the evenings while watching TV.

This is going to be my next project this summer.

I hope to find a solar powered pump so I won't have to connect electricity.

I can't wait to see what the grandkids do when they see this out in the back yard.

Wish me luck - the more I look at this - the more it looks like a whole lot of work.

More Later.....
