Update On My Book!

I suppose I would have been fine to look at the last draft update. It is actually coming together nicely. I just had a few concerns that are easily resolved. I had to change out a picture and send another one with more pixels. It was coming up a bit stretched. I wasn't happy with a presentation of... Sign in to see full entry.

Crazy Quiet Day For Me.

I waited in anticipation of getting a call by 11 a.m. from my daughter. Her glucose test was today. The testing took longer than she thought it would; she was at the hospital until 1 p.m. She didn't get the results yet. I know she's worried and it can be serious if she's diagnosed with gestational... Sign in to see full entry.

Central Oregon Is On Fire And Southern Idaho is Suffering! Suffer

The smoke from fires in Oregon is hitting my area pretty hard. Although it was not the extent of the smoke in the East, it's still bad. The air quality was at 111 today. My son-in-law wanted to mow my lawn but everyone was encouraged to stay inside and turn on air purifiers if they had them. I know... Sign in to see full entry.

Relaxing Saturday, Very Enjoyable!

I started a new puzzle today. I'm not real excited concerning the pieces. I prefer a fully interlocking puzzle. This puzzle has crazy shaped pieces with with false edges. I just want my pieces to have tabs and blanks lol. Tabs are the parts that stick out blanks are where the tabs go. The little man... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Day Of Cleaning! It's Finally Completed!

Jessica had a color today so I stayed home. I didn't get all my cleaning done last weekend because there are so many items to dust. I have another 20 pieces of wood furniture that needs a healthy dose of oil to keep them in good shape. This blog is going to be a pictorial. My den/sports room is one... Sign in to see full entry.

Update On My Book!

I finished the changes to my poetry book today. If they follow my last instructions the book is done all the way around. The gal that promised to do the work really isn't doing the work as she said because other names keep getting attached to the email changes and other suggestions on their part. At...

Birthday Presents Are Harder to Do As Grandkids Get Older.

My granddaughter loves Legos. When she was in elementary school it was easy to find a cool set for her. One thing I learned about the age designation is it's not about a level but about marketing their products. My granddaughter at age 12 is quite capable of assembling any one of them that carry an...

Another Hot Dsy In The Treasure Valley!

Starting on Thursday the temps get very toasty in my city, 104, 103, 102, and 103. Cool down on Monday at 95, then 100, 99 and 103. The overnight lows are in the 70's. Crazy weather. The desert is always hot but this is borderline unbearable. After all I live in a high desert. The benefit of a high... Sign in to see full entry.

Exciting Time For Jasmine's Parents!

My daughter showed me the dress she bought for the pregnant pictures. I don a know about the other ladies on Blogit but I don't remember that being a thing when I carried my babies. I don’t have a opinion one way or another because I believe people should do the things that make them happy. Aside... Sign in to see full entry.

My Work Continues On The Cleaning And My Book!

I got an early start on my chores today. Thorough cleaning takes a lot of time. A funny little note, I finally got the guest bathroom back to the BSU decor. I decorated after the local college team. I've been thinking of changing it to my college team when I move back to Michigan. I Just had to... Sign in to see full entry.
