Stop! Are you thinking that to help Shelly get 6720 squares to have put together as afghans for the kids that attend Camp Sanguinity means you and your friends have to crochet or knit tons of squares, causing your fingers to go numb because of carpal tunnel, your children to be unfed, your husband to be ignored (more than you MEANT to? Guess what! It really doesn’t. I think many of us - when

Yes! - No, not by me, nor for me. 156 more for Camp Sanguinity kids. Read about who did it and how easily you can do the same without knitting or crocheting a single stitch!(Oh my, that sounds like I am selling something on TV - nope, I'm not.)READ HERE, please. It is about good people helping people.

Had I just made that one phone call to understand one little detail these would have gone over days ago, weeks ago. Using Fantastico on my host site, lunarpages, to load Wordpress.org 2.2.1 was easy once I realized what to name the directories. Using the import tab in Wordpress on the admin page brought my blogs over with no problems - so quickly - it seemed impossible - though I did lose a

OK, it is past time, I am late with this. Yes, I spent the day yesterday just being: hot but happy at the Farmers Market; happy that we drove to get 24 ounces of frozen glory: content on a beautiful drive to get Strawberry, Banana, Orange blended in a cup with no additives; excited at the weather as we ate our quiet lunch outside in JULY without sweating; pleased I did a little housework (yes, me

Oh, looky what I found at Shelly's. Well, it is not her contest, but she entered, that's how I found it! Just tell a story in seven words! How hard can that be? You even get to 'cheat' a bit by having a byline with a helpful fictional author. This is the link to the contest instructions at The World According to Suz and some great examples - and the prizes!My Entry (maybe not):I pushedhe

"Summertime, and the living is easy", remember those words? I had no idea it was also a lullaby from Porgie and Bess. I'm not that old. During our best summers we spent Wednesday nights at the Country Club pool for family night. All four of us. Grills were set up on one side of the pool, out of the reach of the water we splashed as we swam, dove, smacked our hands, and played Marco Polo."Marco""

Earlier this year One Day of Blog Silence on April 30th, was proposed, originally for the victims at Virginia Tech, then amended to include all victims. Some bloggers participated, some did not, saying we needed to speak out rather than remain silent. I chose to remain silent for that day and merely posted the banner. I do not regret it.Silence is a long held sign of respect. One day of

Well, Shelly at this Eclectic Life had so much fun hosting her last contest, she reran it.

Before you read more: I am merely letting off steam. I am not unaware of or unappreciative of, but actually excited about all the great stuff I have in my life - and I am not talking just material! I wake up each morning grateful! I am loved, I love, I have a roof over my (our) head, food, transportation, clothing. We are finally in the climate we both love, our son and his wife are fine, etc. -

I want to live on the ocean so I can look out at to watch the lightning displays when a storm moves in and the sailboats race. 2.

Sloooooowwwww, for no other reason than lack of knowledge and too many other things vying for my attention - like the pleasant view outside our motel room of trees and roses (OK, they are there, but hidden from my view) and manicured lawn and umbrellas over white tables. It is breezy and sunshine is being overtaken by wisps of clouds, soon to be a gray sky, I think.I managed to follow directions

Hi, I am going to be somewhat limited in my computer time the next five or six days - I would prefer, not to have to key in a password while I am traveling too often, so I will spend most of what time I am on line catching up on all the blogs I enjoy and don't get to read as much, and working on my novel - and knitting squares for Shelly's project.
