thats really wonderful when we can immerse ourself into the book and story,I feel like that when I've read some of Maeve Binchy's old works

she an irish author,no longer with us,right now I'm listening to Disney War,about the turbulent times of  '80's and 90's,its one of the longest audio books at 25 listening hours.

Well and so begins another lllooonnnggg ight huh. GEts dark here about 5 pm and I really am having a problem with that lol seems the nights are just too long for me and I wake up too early ready to go lol.

 

We had fried tatos and kiabsa sliced up into it. Kind of heavy for me but I ate a bit after draining if for a while on bread slices but you

know you just never get all that fat out of it

But managed to eat a bit of it for supper and had a few sliced canned peaches so it wasn't that bad.

 

those of you that like football there is sure a lot of it on tonight just about every channel. Lol so go teams go!! I will flip around later and find something to watch I'm sure.

 

STarted another Johh GrisHam book a bit tamer so far but very interesting! GOt a load ready to go into the dryer and that is about all I'm doing for the evening so exciting my life huh lol. DD is doing well with her ankle and it seems to be making a terrific recovery.

 

 

HAndy I think has this coming week and hopefully his last couple of sessions of needles lol it most certainly helped I just don't know if I could do it you know.

He said he doesn't feel the needles until the doc hits the nerve then his leg jumps like a reflex but thT is good apparently so the doc knows he's in the right spot. Ok well

 

He's a better acupuncture patient than I am for sure!!

[Katieallen311815]

I woul like to get books read to me it would free me up for other multi tasks and I just would have to listen. Do you have to buy some machine or something or how would one sign up??? That way I could a listen and crochet too lol I'm serious though how does one apply for that. I know nothing about it at all.

 

Ok well gonna put the clothes in the dryer now and I guess find something I can busy myself with for a bit long night ahead lol have a good one see you in the am!!

Katie

most libraries have a books on CD area,yes,you would need a CD player If I'm not mistaken I think you can play it through a dvd/blue ray player too

the other is also through your library,a service called Hoopla,if you library is in the Hoopla program,you would sign up on your computer for an account,most libraries allow 10 items per month,they do movies,music,e books,and audio books.Rene' uses the movie feature,myself I have tried the music,e books( its okay but I much perfer holding the book than reading it on the screen) and lotsa audio books.

I really hope your library is in the Hoopla loop

there are three libraries close by,only two offer Hoopla,the suffolk lets you have 10 items on your acct.Chesapeake only lets you have 5 items on your acct.

I love palm trees, Mary Jo! They're so pretty, and I really wish they would survive here in Missouri, but I doubt it would! Chilly 43º when I woke up this morning.. 

 

I really thought I logged in yesterday, but I guess I didn't! Oops! I got quite a bit more done on the blanket, but now I have to rip out a row to figure out where my stitch count messed up. I'm at the end of the row and have done my stitches for the buff, but have 1 extra stitch, so.... 

 

One of these days I'll stop being intimidated by Bobbins and use those so maybe I won't have so many ends to work in, but in the meantime, I work my ends in every 5 rows so they don't get completely out of control!

 

  

 

 

The bobbins are a pain, but I can't imagine how much I'd have to weave in if I didn't use them!!! It would make me cry!!

 

hope everyone is having a good evening

I read in the paper today about someone putting bat boxes on her house,my question is Why in the heck would you do that for?

This is the latest we've ever brought in our plants,but it was today or tomorrow they would be kaput!!!,so saved abot 6 plants,continually down sizing how many come in to over winter in garage

Great place batworld. Amanda is amazing as are all the bats there. I did their bat bootcamp years ago....

 

 

 

That is a flying fox I'm holding. They are my favorite.

[Tampa Doll]

Good Morning.  Katie I feel your pain about the long nights.  I still can't get use to the time change.

 

Saturday is full of College football, not my cup of tea.  Today is my day.

 

I finished up the last two misfit toys and today I do the last character.  Hopefully tomorrow I will have pictures of everything.  This has been a fun kit.

 

We are quite cool this morning and it was misty earlier.  The sun is now out and we will be maybe into the low 70's today.

 

Tonight is either Beef Stew or Chicken parm.  Not sure which yet.

 

Have fun and lots of hugs.  

[Katieallen311815]

[minwifeof4boys]

Back from a loooooong week, we traveled all week for work... ( Linda did you see me wave as we drove past?).... celebrated dh's bday outside of Richmond the plan was to work all day  Tuesday, spend the night at a B&B Tuesday night, work half a day on Wed ( dh's bday) and spend the rest of the day visiting a few places in Richmond ( we love Richmond).... we ended up staying up all night on Tuesday to watch the results, worked a half day and then came back and too a nap, to tired to even go out for dinner... worked all day Thursday,  tried to catch up on house and local business and then was hit with the devastating news that my son's partner at the sheriffs dept had shot and killed himself and his wife after locking their 2 young girls in the bedroom.... We are all heartbroken...when Josh was having very bad PTSD episodes Pearce was the one we would call on to hold his guns and calm Josh down, Josh is his oldest daughter's godparent... so we are dealing with that loss plus the fact our son is beside himself...our son has a home in the country so he has a couple friends who are  there round the clock.... Veterans day is already bad enough and now this!

 

   Its times like this when I say, " the good things about today are .......... There are bad things about today and can I directly help the problem....... If not I busy myself ( and pray a bunch) and tomorrow does have its own problems...

 

  MJ, lovin on the village..... that would be like one of my Feb projects LOL....

 

Sandra, so sorry about the craft fair.....at lest you made table money....
