Miss Kayla''s Story

This is a Blog that I am following...Miss Kayla's Story ...this family needs our prayers..My team , just go to Dashboard, and the blog is listed there....

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF OUR CAT

Nancy is her name
Snooping is her game
She starts out her day, Snooping, and ends her day, Snooping
She inspects EVERYTHING, EVERY day, even sometimes getting in the Fireplace, have to keep that screen closed. (oh, she wouldn't get in it when we have a fire)
She loves to "help" me type!
after all of her inspecting, and snooping, she heads for her favorite place for that nap, the window ledge, with all of the sunshine flowing in on her.
How could you get upset with something with a "sweet " face like that?

Any Ideas?

I need Ideas on displaying family photos....I printed out black and while photos (8x10) framed them..right now I have them displayed on a large bookcase , along with books.. I started out to make a family tree...after not being able to find exactly a "tree" that I liked, I ended up putting up the wallpaper that Lowes had(really not what I wanted, but said , O.K., I'll make it work..)caution: once you get this on the wall(even tho, it states that it is very easy to remove without messing up your wall) not is not entirely true...I used the "picture frames that they supplied with the Tree wallpaper, and when I decided it was not the look I was wanting, and tried to remove it, off came the paint, etc...a mess!..I love to display family photos,makes me happy to see the faces of my family every day , I just want "order in displaying them...

This picture was with a lot of old pictures at Mam-Ma's after she passed away, we don't know who the people were, but I thought this was a really great photo! love the old pictures...notice all of kids in the car...you can just imagine a family gathering , maybe on a spring or summer day, probably a Sunday, and all of the kids got in the car, probably the first car for the family, and someone said, take that picture...

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

Oh, how I love those Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!...one of my favorite form of Chocolate..I buy a bag of them, meaning to just eat one or two a day...well, no way, in about 3 days, THEY ARE GONE!, and I say, well, no more of that, and the next time we go to Walmart, I try to stay away from the candy isle, and sometimes I manage to do just that, and all Irvin has to say is "Do you want to get some candy?", and I, of course grab a small bag, and he reaches over and takes the small bag, and gets a big bag....(sweet man!), and I say, "oh no, I just need a little bag". well, he knows me, after 54 years of marriage...and my "sweet tooth", and he leaves the BIG bag in the buggy...so, of course, I don't want to hurt his feelings...When we get home, I "hide" my bag of Reese's way in the back of the pantry..well....as soon as I finish washing the supper dishes, and settle down for a evening of watching T.V., I find a excuse to go to the kitchen, and the Pantry and out comes that bag and well, I can't waste that money that went to buy that candy, well, you know how this ends...

Heart Dr. Appt.

Irvin had his ekg today during his Appt. with the Heart Dr...there had been no change from the last one, so that was good...We asked the Dr. about our options(he had found a few months ago the small blockage ), and at time, had told us to think about if Irvin wanted to have the cathazation or since he was doing fairly well , just not until he had the pain , etc...we talked to him further today, and since Irvin had (other than, what we consider about normal tireness, due to all the other health issues he has) no further issues going on, right now...he said that it would be safer to continue as is , unless he had pain, heavy feeling in his chest,and if that happened, to get in touch with him right away, and he would do the cath. immediately...so, we will take especially good care, (which, we do now) to see that , that hopefully does not happen...WE really do have to enjoy each day as it comes.....

"Surfing the Blogs"

One of my "Sleepless " nights, so here I am "Surfing the Blogs"....there is a lot to read there, very interesting news on all of them, some very useful and have learned a lot about the art of Scrapbooking, and someday really mean to apply it, and start a scrapbook of my own, I have the materials for it, just not the time..you are probably thinking , I should use the time I take "Surfing the Blogs" to start the scrapbook..no way, I enjoy the surfing too much!...only other "Surfers" know what I am talking about...I don't have the time during the day, but whenever I do have a sleepless night, it is relaxing to just turn on the pc, and get caught up with what fellow bloggers are doing and how they are feeling, and when they need prayer...
