Good News Video

Saturday, July 11, 2009


I wasn't planning on making a second video today but had to share my good news.Needless to say we were both very happy. Neither of us even thought to look behind the front seats as I never put it there.It is always up front next to passenger seat. So a not so great day is turning out good. Hubby is very happy now as he was more upset than I was. So I say good day for now. Have a great weekend.

    I am happy you found your cane. Little things sometimes are more important then Big things. Just because we never know what is really Little and how big Big really is.

When I immigrated from my country there were a lot of "Little" things that were left behind. We took what we thought was must important. Now I do miss my little things. It is my life, and it is not so little.

I am glad you found your cane. Once I lost my dictionary. I left it in med office where I was with my patient. I even did not try to find it, I was sure it is over. Nobody need it, so it would be put on thrush bag, as I thought. Next time when my lady had an appointment to this office I saw my book on the front deck. I asked receptionist and she said someone lost it in office. It was my book dictionary, old, already not in good condition. Two my boys and myself took first English lessons with it. I do not use it right now, I do have electronic dictionary, but I am glad I do have it on my book shelf.

    emoticonThe lost item is found. I was wondering if you'd show the cane.

You have a great weekend now and I hope you can go 48 hours without rain. No rain for us today and I hope there will be none tomorrow.

God bless,
Char

Another good job on your video keep them coming.

I'm so glad your cane turned up.

Bill sure has many talents being able to fix the porch up for you. What a wonderful man you have there.

Well want to go watch your other video so I better run as I'm getting tired. But need to wait up until daughter gets home. Plan on sleeping until the last minute I can in the morn before getting ready for church.

    Oh, you're special too Eleni!!! It's so true, we're so hard on ourselves. Speaking of being hard on ourselves, you're not a wanna be artist, you ARE an artist!!

I can't believe how swollen you still are!! It makes your boob look like mine. LOL!! By the way, my husband said my boobs don't always look that huge. He said it might've been the shirt and the camera angle. I sure hope so!!

Thanks for the props but I don't think I'm good at making videos, I just like to talk. Hee, hee, hee.

Rainy Day

Thursday, July 09, 2009


I am getting tired of rain. It is another dreary day.AT least yesterday the sun was shining for part of the day.
Haven't done much of anything today. I did get a pot of soup made.Used the leftover chicken carcass to make some of the broth. Put 8 cups in freezer and 4 in fridge.
I may make another video tomorrow when my camera man is home. I wish we had a tab on start page that tells everyone that has a video blog.
Well I think I will go take a nap.Weather is perfect for it.

    Hi Eleni, gee that was so good to have a quick chat with you.
Good one making broth with the chicken carcus, yum yum yum.
We have had quite a lot of rain here as well, I too prefer the sun shinny days but the gardens need the goodness from the rain and so I am grateful for what ever we get.
Hugs

    I enjoy soups made with the carcass of chicken.
And for some reason I really like the turkey carcass at Thanksgiving. Last year might have been an exception due to the fresh herbs I used in the cavity.
We have had rain here the last 3 days and more coming in the AM. DH almost finished spraying the beans for weeds. He only had 1 1/2 rounds left. Since the chemical was not on long enough before it rained that day, he may have to reapply it to some of the beans. Such is the joys of farming.
Hope you enjoyed your nap and the soup. Have a great weekend coming up.

God bless,
Char

    Are the mosquitoes bad by you with all the rain you've been having? The rain hasn't been bad lately but the mosquitoes are horrible and it's so darn chilly. Today is actually nice out but the bugs are so bad. If it's not one thing it's another I guess.

I agree with you about the tab or something about the video blog. I'm curious to see others. I think I've seen one other one besides yours. It is a pain to do it though. It's s time consuming.

I am always a little bit sad in rain. I do love rein, it is good for sleeping.
In NY it is sunny day, but I do not know why today I am sleepy. Maybe it is over the full country.

It has been a quiet day almost. I laid down and took a late afternoon nap. Right after I laid down a rain storm came thru.I didn't pay any attention and fell asleep.Shortly after I got up Bill got home.He started asking me about what I had done today. I thought he was nuts.Then he said look outside.I looked from my chair and saw nothing.Then he said to go in art room and look out. The neighbor's tree that we had a few limbs trimmed off was laying on ground.It had been blown over from ground level. Luckily it fell towards the front corner of their property.I took this picture and it is hard to see but it is larger than it looks.If it had come the other way it would have hit one of our houses.Bill just brought a piece of center of tree in and it is like a water soaked sponge.

And here is another visitor to outside my window Kinda creepy.
I am still counting calories but not doing so well on keeping the calorie count down.It is the night eating that kills me every time.
I did sleep better last night.

    I guess the good Lord helped trim some more off that tree. Good thing it did not do any damage. Is the base of the tree behind the bush on the right side of your photo or still back farther?

Nice snap shot of the dragonfly.

About all we have flying around up here are mosquitoes. I had one bite my wrist yesterday and it swelled to the side of an half dollar.

I have some 4 o'clock bushes growing up here and will need to take some pics when they are in full bloom.

Have a lovly day tomorrow and God bless,
Char

    Hi Eleni.
Bag is beautiful. You always got it in the time.
glad that tree did fall in "right" direction.

About calories and night eating. Do you know I do not do it. I just do not need it anymore. I sleep all night, and there are a lot of noise outside, there is highway under my windows. This is what I do have from TAIslim. I just do not want to eat. It is not the case I do not want to eat at all, but I put on the plate less and less, never eat on night, do not want to eat "wrong" food. I did all of this. Now I do not. I do go to gym club and my body just light. I feel it in this way. I do not lose yet, but what I did lose it is over, I do keep it. I glad I am able to keep what I do have, do not get bigger and bigger. Best.NS.

    I have to admit, like you I can sleep through ANYTHING! Except when dh is not here at night...then I don't sleep at ALL. I am glad you missed the damage and I agree the bug is beautiful. Try Marj's eating jar idea. It might help. I also am/or used to be/ an night eater and know what misery it brings! Good luck with it. You just have to find what works for you...it is different for everyone. Please let me know what you find works for you...it might just work for me!

    It's a beautiful bug. But it is still a bug after all.

Wow, I'm sure glad that tree fell the way that it did. It would have been a heck of an interruption of your nap if it had fallen on your house.

Glad you got the chance to get some rest. And I'm glad you're doing well with the calories. I know how hard that can be.

    I'm going to give you the same idea I gave to TEXASGAL about the late night eating...

We all get cravings....I think you need to start an EATING JAR. Make little notes to yourself of the things that you can do instead of eating those foods that you shouldn't . Put them in the jar. Every time you crave some food that is not good for you ....pull out an alternative from your eating jar. Example....paint your fingernails. You can't eat when your fingernails are wet.....take your dog for a walk or better yet take your neighbors dog for a walk. I'm sure you can come up with some great alternatives. Make sure you put your eating jar in a spot near your temptations.

YOU CAN DO IT MY FRIEND!!
Marj


P.S. I always enjoy your pictures. It's not creepy at all...very fascinating I think!!

    Wow, that must've been some storm you slept through! I'd sleep right through it too though unless of course the kids woke me up. Luckily it didn't hit your house!

Interesting bug. Is it some sort of dragon fly?

Blooming Tuesday

Tuesday, July 07, 2009

I had a bad night last night with my arms going numb and then shoulder and hands hurt terrible until numbness goes away..This went on all night long.I have tried everything.It doesn't matter how I lay it still does it. I have tried using an extra pillow to keep arm elevated some.Nothing seems to help. If I could solved this I would be able to sleep good as knees have gotten much better at night. It is always something.
Oh well On to better things.
I had a surprise visitor outside my window yesterday. I live less than a mile from water and water birds often fly over or stop by. I have seen the big white cranes fly over with huge fish in their mouths.My sister who lives on other side of town has even found dropped fish in her yard.LOL
But here is what flew onto the edge of pool and made himself at home.He kept looking at window and I think he saw himself.My windows look like a mirror on outside.
Here is a small wildflower(weed)
Here is my new plant with blooms
And nightstar asked me what I got at Books a Million.
I got the next book in the twilight serious NewMoon,,
Miss Julia Delivers the Goods the newest book just out by Ann Ross.I have all of her books.
The Reader by Bernard Schlink
and the new Food Network magazine that I have been wanting to see.
And that's it for now.Have a great day

    Hi Eleni. I always read your blogs up side down. Thank you for answer about books. I love twilight serious. There was TV marathon, so I had good time. I do not know about Ann Ross, never read her novels.

I very love you pictures. You always get interesting one. Thanks.

It is very sad that you feel night like this. I did have the same with my arg in the beginning of the year. I had this problem from time when my boy wor born. Then it was out , and in the begining of this year it comes back. But now it is over again. I do sleep and do not have pain. I tried massage. Lev did it for me. Then I put it in worm. I think it helped for awile to help me to go too sleep.

Anyway I read that last night was better.
Hope you will sleep tonight. Best.NS

    I can't believe you bought New Moon! My daughter is begging me to read that series but I have yet to open the cover of the 1st one. I'll give in soon enough. I just started reading an awful book (we go to the library monthly) and I don't think I can ready any more. I like to give books a chance because sometimes they start slow and turn out to be really good. I don't think I can do that with the book I'm reading now.

Your visitor to your backyard was cute! Kinda gross that your sister finds fish in her yard. I would think they would stink, especially with the heat in Florida. Speaking of the heat, could you send some my way? Tomorrow is only going to be in the 60's which is unseasonably cool for Wisconsin.

I'm sorry to hear you didn't sleep well last night. Your doctor can't help you out at all? Hopefully tonight will be a better night for you! emoticon
