sub contractor at home.

This is taking most of my freedom right now. I like it but it doesn't leave me much time for other things. I started this with the company my son works for. I can do it at home and make good money. I don't know how long I will do this but for now it is good Christmas money.

On a sunny afternoon!

My family lived in Lakewood, California. My daughter Jenny had a room of her own that she couldn't sleep in, so Arney and I changed rooms with her. That was the coldest room I have ever known. No matter what time of year it was. Time went by and we moved back in our room and put Jenny on a cot in our room...so we could sleep. Arney was not going for the thought of something strange, it was just how the house was built. So we didn't talk about the room when he was around because he would tell us we were nuts.......It was a sunny afternoon in Southern California and we had just came home from a day at the beach. Arney decided he would take a shower to get the sand off. Then he stood in front of the sink combing his hair when all of a sudden he got a big slap on his necked butt. No one was in the house, we were all in the front yard sitting and talking to our friends from across the street. He looked everywhere in the house trying to figure out who hit him on his behind....no body was there. Besides the bathroom door was closed....HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! He then believed that something was happening, maybe it had something to do with that cold bedroom after all......

Happy Halloween

I have always enjoyed Halloween...I did all kinds of stuff when my kids were little to get the mood set. I made black punch, it was not great to go to school the next day with kinda gray teeth. Now I don't get into it as much, but still enjoy the kids that come to my door. We don't get many little tricker's as we used to...we live on a farm and we are a little spread out. May your day be filled with candy...Hugs, Mary Did you hear that???? It is getting closer!!!

Greetings

Good-morning, I have missed you all. my computer has been acting up. I still will go visit you...it will take awhile.
I have been busy....each year the ladies of our church have a Bazaar...this year I made Victorian Cones. These were made to be hung on doors with little gifts and notes. I made 20, but keep one for myself. I hadn't made these before and now plan to do some for Christmas.
I hope all of you have been well. I can't wait to see all that you have done while I was away. Happy Fall...

Mama Kittie

We moved on the farm with our long time friends Garfield & second in command City Slicker. I am sure Garfield had put the word out that he was king of the farm. The days of summer were flying by, and fall was in the air when in the middle of our drive stood a gray cat that would soon be called Mama Kittie. She would come to the gate like she wanted to visit and then she would be gone. This went on for awhile. She seemed to be very self reliant, but her curiosity brought her to our gate. I spoke to her softly and she would listen, but would run if I came to near. We thought she probably lived somewhere in our barn, although we never saw her there. Soon we saw the reason she was coming so near, she had 4 little reasons for coming to us. As she sat at he gate, we saw the babies, they were waiting for orders from their Mother. She may have lived here for years. As the kittens one by one came to the back door we were already getting food for them. Mama had many little families, we called them barn kitty's. They all came to our back door. We couldn't make pets of them because they were wild, but they gave us much pleasure.
I know we have a lot of cat people in blog-land, just thought this was good to share. It's the little things in live that give us that smile within.
