Hi, again!

♥ Reading my favorite blogs makes me want to get back to crafting. I've started crocheting again. But mostly I need to start taking more pictures and posting them. I would love to get a new camera. I'd like one with a really good zoom. This is a bad time of year to be thinking of buying a new camera, because of all the birthdays coming up and of course there's Christmas. The camera will probably have to wait until after the new year.

I went picketing today at the usual place, in front of a Planned Parenthood. If my sign convinces one woman to not have an abortion, all my time spent picketing will be worth it.

Then I went to our family picnic. We had a great time. I bought a bucket of KFC chicken and everyone else brought something. We ate and played and laughed a lot! The weather was perfect. I wish we could do this more often. ♥

Hi!

I have been reading my favorite blogs and I am surprised at how far behind I am. I've been so involved with Facebook. I miss blogging. Today, I visited my daughter Shari and little Giddy. He is two years old. I wish I had gotten a video of him riding his scooter. She made popcorn for us and I wondered why I don't make it for myself. I think it's because I like to put a lot of butter on it. I need to start posting more and including pictures again.

All Things Bright and Beautiful

My first picketing sign

Sharon singing

This is my beautiful daughter, Sharon. What a blessing she is to me.

Baby Chrissy doll

My daughter Christine saved her Baby Chrissy doll. It is now in her kindergarden Sunday School room. She got this doll because they had the same name.

Downtown Cleveland

Isn't this a great view of downtown Cleveland? I took it at the corner of State Rd. and Ridgewood. AKA: State Road hill

New pews

I don't think I ever showed you the new pews we got in my church, Cleveland Baptist Church. The side rows are curved so the people could sit facing the platform and see better. Clever, isn't it?

I do like silk flowers.

The violets are real and the snow drops are my paper flowers.

Spring is finally here!

I'm back!

I haven't posted for a long while. I've gotten bored with Facebook games. The good news is I've been crafting again. I've taken up beading/jewelry making. I also make greeting cards. I'll post pictures soon.

Tradition

I have a Christmas tradition. Every Christmas I buy a new pointsettia plant. I keep it all year. The colored leaves gradually fall off and you are left with a nice green plant. Right before Christmas I toss it out and buy a new one. They come in different colors like red, pink, and white. Last year's was pink, so this year I got a red one.

Time

I am trying to catch up on reading my favorite blogs. I really missed them. I like playing games on Facebook, but they sure can waste your time. First it was radio and television, then around 1990 internet/e-mail and blogs and Facebook. Life has really changed in the last 20 years. I don't watch much tv or movies like I used to. I don't read as much as I would like. My crafts are not getting crafted. I think some changes need to be made, by me.

My son Bob in Europe

He is there with a group from our church to visit missionaries. What an experience for him. He is visiting Hungry, Slovakia, and Romania.

Facebook

I have been spending so much time on Facebook lately and have forgotten about blogging. I will try to post more often.

Pond flowers

These are pretty flowers in my friends pond. They also have gold fish in this pond.

Coffee cups

I think these are Maxwell House coffee cups.

Barbie

This is my new Kentucky Derby Fiftieth Anniversary Barbie. She is a collector Barbie and she is not coming out of the box.
