Found a poem today


I was going through and deleting a bunch of photos from my phone...I need to delete a whole lot more!  But that is not the point.  I came across a poem...I don't know where I got it or if I found it...I can find no information on the author. But it fits so well the thoughts that goes through my mind when I pass/photograph old houses.


I hope you can read it...if not you should be able to click and open in a new tab and then expand the view.

I ran across so many memories...just on my phone.  I hate to think how long it would take to go through all my photos!

Running out of puzzles....


 I have one puzzle that I just opened today....of course my daughter has a lot she has worked that I haven't.  So I could work one of those.   Or rework one of my old ones.   Better still would be for me to get hand sewing to do.  But I still wouldn't touch it while cooking because I would manage to transfer something from the kitchen to the fabric.

Roger's dr. appt was just for a check-up and to get prescriptions renewed.  And he had a spot on his chest that I was worried about.  But it is nothing.  I cannot pronounce what she called it, let alone spell it.  But I could have jumped for joy.  And she is going to contact a cardiologist that she says is real good...so going to try to have faith that we get a good one again.  That is how we got Roger's other one...I ask our nurse practitioner, and she said I will contact so and so....and try to get him...he is really good and I really like him.  And look how good that turned out.  

The more we see this little family dr. the more I like her.  She is never in a hurry, but she does get us in and out.  One thing she is watching would have needed bloodwork in another month and she said lets just do it now till you don't have to come back.  And another visit in October.

Got to meet my great niece and nephew this afternoon late...you talk about two cute kids!  The youngest would give the best hugs...a little boy.  He is two...and his sister is a couple years older...and never sits still.  And has the most beautiful eyes!

Blue and white...


 The teapot to this set is at my other blog...there is a link on the side bar.  And yes I thought of Granny Marigold when I saw this and the other set.

**********                                                                                                                        I am not going to tell you the long drawn out story I just told my daughter about one of my sewing machines needing oil, and what happened when I forgot to unthread the needle.  It was not pretty, and it was not fun...even the cat purring got on every last nerve.  This was last night.

She was so happy and I was so frustrated...I finally got the thread mess cleaned out, but still had to work more on the oiling.  I don't get to sew for very long stretches, but it adds up quicker than  I realize.  

But it is in working order...and I have another machine up there, and daughter has a machine that I could have put in its place...but it is old faithful...

And I just now thought...I have laundry I need to finish up and get put away!
