I think the power supply went out on my PC back in October...tried to no avail to find a replacement for it, but did not find one (I think it is too old)! Thankfully, most of my computer was backed up to DVD's/passports! I finally resorted to an older computer I happened to still have around....man is it ever slow (Windows Vista) and so many of my programs will not work on it...but....I do have a computer to work my scrapbook program with! Trying to locate what I just HAVE to have and transferring, etc has taken forever it seems! I haven't done a lot of anything else, what with visitors, the holidays, packing boxes, getting the outside of my home winterized, all the outside furbabies taken care of for the cold....etc....etc...etc! Lots of work for one "old lady" by herself! LOL! (come on, let me hear the pity comments)!!<br />
I've also had to chase down a heating element for my clothes dryer, then wait until my repairman FELT like tackling it...(without a dryer for almost 2 months)....thankfully, it is working like a charm now. My car also decided to give me a few minor problems (mostly because I don't drive it enough to keep the battery charged, after all it takes me about 6 weeks to use a tank of gas...LOL)<br />
Thanksgiving was pretty lame this year! I went nowhere nor saw anyone until around 5 p.m. when my friends, Janet,Patty and Diana stopped by for about 30 minutes. Not even any phone calls, so I stayed in pajamas and me and the fur babies vegged out on the couch to watch the parade and CHRISTmas movies on the Hallmark Channel! <br />
Unfortunately, I do not have word on this computer and thus, it will not read.doc files, so....I have to reconstruct my renters lease agreement (due Jan 1 for another year), plus getting all my financial stuff completed and properly documented...(taxes, insurance, new lease, repairs, etc)....I've been pretty busy and trying new meds for cholesterol has had me doing lots of phone calls and office visits with my physician and of course, taking it slow when "Arthritis" visits my hands...I have also been collecting things for a couple of months for packages that need to be mailed for CHRISTmas...(gonna be rather slim this year as I did not have that extra side job) But, I am a very blessed human as I am fairly healthy, have a loving family, good friends, not in debt over my head and can pay my own way!<br />
I am trying today to add what few pages I have done since my September post so that they will appear in my blog book, this may take a while to upload them on this slower computer...I have asked Santa to help me find a good deal on a new computer! I do have my very trusty iPad Pro, but....I can't use it for my scrapbooks. To those of you that I have missed visiting your blogs....please forgive me for being so slooooooow, but sometimes things are not in my control!<br />

It was a historic month for sure! At least for us Texas dwelling folks anyhow! # Hurricane Harvey!<br />
I know I made some pages for birthdays etc and downloaded some new freebies, but...haven't had a chance to do much else. I had a friend that needed to be taken to doctor 4 days in a row and then she had her surgery 2 weeks ago and has needed some help. Then another friend had a minor day surgery, and another that took a vacation and needed plants watered. We've had a lot of rain (no, not from Harvey) so the yard and weeds and plants all needed some attention when it finally quit, then Harvey hit south Texas Coast...creating the worst havoc and flooding you have ever seen!<br />
I am about 5-6 hours north of it, but...I do have family and friends that I was extremely worried about. So many have lost EVERYTHING they have, home, furniture, cars, belongings and yes, even some lost their lives! So far all my friends have been accounted for and the family had to be evacuated too! Still not sure if all is a total loss for them or not as they are still in a shelter in Alexandria, LA so that my sister in law can have dialysis. Just a few days before Harvey hit, she fell at Walmart and broke her arm in 2 places so she has really been through the wringer! Her daughter is a teacher at Beaumont, but class has been cancelled all this and next week (maybe longer) as the flooding caused no water to drink, and no electricity.<br />
My renters had a problem with some water in their unit that took a few days to correct....now I have to find someone to re-tile the floor now that it is totally dry! I also had a cousin pass away and no one knew it until a posting by the coroner's office in South Carolina for someone to claim his remains. I also had a visitor come from Missouri for a few days!<br />
OK, I'm tired now...no more complaining....I'm just happy to wake up each and every morning to be able to help others and to do my thing. I've also been in an anti-social mood of late as I have had my nose stuck in a book or two...LMBO! Anyhoo....all is well in my world and all the fur babies are too! We just be chillin' and doin' our thing! Hope all have a wonderful Labor Day and you stay dry, but make lots and lots and lots of memories to share! I will try chatting more next time instead of gripping so much! Here are the pages I've made since my last post and I have sooooooooo many photos I need to scrap so they will make it into my end of year blog book printing!<br />

My friend Teri celebrated a birthday at the end of August, so surprised her with a memory page of her and her beloved Bentley that she really enjoyed!<br />
Alright, that's it, I must get up from this chair...my bum has gone to sleep and another book is calling to me! Have a great one y'all!

I can't seem to stay caught up anymore...any other retirees feel that way? LMBO!!! I try to stay on top of things, but...it is so very easy to get sidetracked nowadays! <br />
It has really been miserable with the humidity this year (or I just am noticing it more) and I am staying inside a lot, keeping my home as clean as I can and running all the air purifiers to keep the allergies/asthma in check. The AC is also running and all the ceiling fans too (plus I have fans outside for the fur babies in the back). I'm sure the electric bill will reflect it all too, but...!<br />
I just checked my stash of pages that I need to post (for my book printing at the year's end) and a lot has happened since my last post. Sadly, the worst was the loss of my precious Pumpkin. The diabetes finally took it's toll, but she died at home with her sisters and Bubba and ME watching over her. She is waiting for the rest of us to join her when our time comes! We had a few rough days, but we have learned to adjust. Still miss her beautiful purring. Here's her memory page I posted on Facebook.<br />

I reconnected with friends from a "previous" life (military tour) on Facebook and saw a photo of the 2 of them posted, so...I dug up an "old" (40 yrs) polaroid of them and created a page as a RAK and posted. Here it is for Joe & Phyllis.....<br />

Sideways aka "Bubba" is on my left on the pillows by my head since he is the King in this castle. He is the sweetest fur baby around. He is also the one with poor eyesight, almost no teeth and a problem with his left hind quarter. His sister Misty is very protective and takes care in training him. All my babies are rescues, but I'm not sure who rescued who here! Love, love, love them.<br />
Okay, I think I am caught up again with the pages and I have yet sooooooooo many more photos to work with, but I have been in this chair way too long and must get up and move around a bit. I still need to do a little blog hopping to "catch up" with some of my cyber friends. So...on that note, I think I will say bye for this chat and will catch you again soon. Don't forget to make lots and lots of memories to share! Y'all have a fantastic weekend! Hugs, Mat<br />

I just DO NOT KNOW where the time goes anymore, seems like I was just in here typing away just a few days ago! Lots of scrapping being done AND some necessary rearranging and backing up of files and removing old stuff off my computer so it can keep on ticking....It had gotten so very slow because it was so FULL! Now is running much better, but I still have some more organizing of my scrapbooking stuff to do! I'm enjoying that as it has been toooooooo HOT and HUMID to be doing anything out of doors for me! We have been under a heat advisory since Thursday with the index at 105 F or above all those days, supposedly by this evening we are to get a break and drop 2 degrees below our normal high of 92F LOL! But it will make a difference if it pushes the humidity out!<br />
Here are the Father's Day pages I created for this year! I am wishing all of you father's out there a most wonderful and enjoyable day ahead!<br />

First up is for my Daddy who left us in 1998....this is the only photo that I know of that has both Kathy and I (and hubbies) and Ruth's 3 daughters as well as his only 2 grandsons. Taken in Johnson City, TN in 1982 I think! Left to right is Linda/Charlie, Kathy (hiding)/Jim (Jeff/Jason in front), Ruth/Daddy, Me/Fuzzy, Linda/Martha.<br />

This was for Kathy's husband Jim, I created this layout of pages I had previously made to create a 18x18 pillow for him from Collage.com. He loved it, says it is super soft! He likes that he can see all his family on it!<br />

This was for Penny's husband, Weymond. He also got a pillow of his family, his wife, 3 kids and 5 grandkids. What else can you give a man who has all he needs?<br />

The 9th as a special "Pick Me Up" RAK for the birthday of Kathy's dearest friend Ruth (who just lost her husband at the end of May) and her lovely little (mini-me) granddaughter, Janet, I created this page to celebrate her birthday!

Golly, I have made a lot of pages, but I really have a lot of fun doing this when my hands and neck will allow. Amy, Maggie & Christina keep me supplied with current photos of all the great nieces/nephews and I really appreciate that. I am terribly behind on some of them. Here are a couple I did for Amy since my last blog post.<br />

Eliza turned 2 on the 22nd of May and I still have all her photos from her birthday party to scrap. Got to make time...but now, my bum is tired from sitting here, the clothes dryer has stopped so need to fold clothes, add another load and get ready for the NASCAR races...yep, my guilty pleasure on Sundays. All my fur babies are gathered around me at the computer...look at these photos!<br />

First off, the 30th of April was a HORRIBLE day for me. Remembering the loss, 2 years ago, of friend Dave Wooten in a motorcycle accident only to receive shocking news of another loss of a much BELOVED friend, Lena Bryant, in a motorcycle accident in North Carolina. So sad because I could not go to express my respect, but I did create a memory page that I posted. The top photo was taken on Dauphin Island and the bottom one is of her on her lovely trike that she was driving when she had the accident. This lovely lady took me to therapy 3 times a week for 6 weeks when I had my right knee replaced in 2004! She was also instrumental in my purchase of the other side of the duplex, she will be truly missed by her husband, daughters and grand children, Rest In Peace my friend! Love you!<br />

Next day, I lost a scrapbooking/internet friend and had another scare with my 94 year old neighbor Dorothy! I was also commissioned to create a wedding album for a co-worker of my sister Penny that took a few days to create and assemble for printing. Also had all my yearly Mother's Day pages to do and graduations, birthdays and anniversaries are jammed into almost every day of May (including mine this coming Saturday)! So, here are the pages I've created for these occasions, so far!<br />

And today is Mike & Jannette's 2nd Anniversary....Whew, I think that is all the pages to date.<br />
<br />
My renters had a yard sale last Saturday and Sunday that brought a lot of people around that I had to watch out for and not allowing disruption-stressing my kitty cats inside and out....LMBO!<br />
<br />
<br />
I also got good news, my SIL, Inez and her hubby Larry, are selling out in Massachusetts and relocating back to Texas! Yippee, she will only be about 30 minutes southwest of me and I can visit with her again after all these years of just chatting on the phone! Love, love, love it!<br />
<br />
The severe flooding in Missouri had me worried about my sister Kathy (lives in IL at St.Louis area) her children and grandkids also in the area and another friend, Teri and her family a little further south of there.<br />
<br />
We have had some rough weather with lots of high wind and high humidity, but very little rain right here, but this late afternoon and evening is supposed to take care of that, will see since all the others were to do the same, but seemed to split and go all around us...LOL we are never satisfied are we?<br />
<br />
Well, guess I needed a break, but wish it had not all come at once....now I need to catch up with some blogs I have sorely neglected and reorganize some files on my computer and get them backed up! Also have a few more pages to construct for more birthdays like, my doctor and friend tomorrow, my little grandniece, Eliza, my sister Kathy and my friend Jill are all celebrating before the end of the month and Memorial Day and Father's Day is just around the corner....O My, so much to do and I am just getting slower and slower at doing things....ROFLMAO!!<br />
<br />
Off now, got to run to the store for fur baby food and get back here before storms really do start! Y'all have a fabulous rest of the week and make lots and lots more memories to share! Chat more next time, Hugs to all! Mat<br />

It has been an eventful month. I had an investor come by to offer to buy my duplex (a really good solid one), construction of 2 train depots are in progress in my city with one within walking distance of my home, a new garden home complex about 1/2 mile away and a townhouse complex 1/2 mile in the other direction. This area is really improving, sooooooo...I am going to wait a bit to sell and hopefully, I will get a really good price for this duplex (enough to have money in bank to sustain my retirement)!<br />
This area is very popular with families because of the best school district! There is an elementary, intermediate, high and christian private school all within 1/4 to 1/2 mile radius!<br />
Anyhow, hope all of you had a most blessed Easter and got to spend it with loved ones! Here's the pages I created for the great nieces/nephews and my sisters!<br />

Next month is Mother's Day and anniversaries for Amy & Michael and Lance & Margaret and not to mention the birthdays of Michael, Christina, Kathy, Eliza & Me so I guess I best get busy making some more memory pages for my next blog post! ROFLMBO! Scrapping is so relaxing and very rewarding for me and I want to say THANK YOU to all the awesome designers that share their talent making this easier to do!<br />

It seems I was just here blogging...NOT! I am behind again, but I do have a good reason (I Think)...but will have to get back with you when I remember what it is! ROFLMAO!!<br />
Really, it is just called LIVING each day and doing as I want! Sounds good to me! I am trying to downsize on some clutter AND I have been trying to scrap more and get caught up with my FAMILY books, etc. But, it seems even when I get up early (4 a.m. usually) and stay up later, there just isn't enough hours in the day. (Could it be that I am just not as fast moving as I used to be?) Very probable!!<br />
I do my housework in pieces, I scrap in pieces, I love on my fur babies more and more, I nap less, I watch less TV and I cook and eat even less, but seem to stay busy, busy, busy all the time! Maybe not as organized as I used to be....or.....it could be that I am on the phone too much...YES, that is it! (at least that is what I am sticking with for now!)<br />
We have had typical (?) spring weather since February and now...Summer is here! I've already had my AC on for over a month (cause I've had to change the filter already) and I've not been able to have the windows opened as much (allergies have been horrific this year)! Lots of wind, wind, wind and a few storms with hail (scared the heck out of fur babies at 3 a.m. yesterday morning). Look at all the tree limbs and leaves it took down (must have lasted at least 5 minutes of constant pounding of nickel to quarter sized hail)!<br />

Everyone of us had to sweep our sidewalks off and the wind blew all day. Got a lot of rain, but not as much as those southeast of us that got a LOT of flooding! This system is moving eastward y'all so stay safe!<br />

Okay, this post is titled lazy, lazy, lazy and that is exactly what I have been lately! I think with all this up and down crazy weather (and the time change too) my system is just out of whack and I've had a good case of the "I Don't Care" attitude! ROFLMAO!!! At least I am being honest about my long absence from posting here! Even my pajama top today says Nope, Still Don't Care! Part of the problem was due to being out of a medication that I was told was risky for my age (GRRR) so when I ran out, I didn't renew it. Talked with my doctor and he said I couldn't just stop it and that it was okay for me and put me back on it. (All the while he was lambasting the insurance company and the pharmacist for telling me it was risky) He knows my medical history as well as I do and says the risks don't apply to ALL in that age group and certainly not me, so now that I am back on it for 10 days so far, I'm feeling more like me again....YAY!!<br />
I did this page on the 1st of March for the birthday of my Niece In Law, Tiffany. I don't remember who all I used, but the paper and overlay are by <a href="http://miriams-scrap.blogspot.com/">Miriam</a> (I recolored).<br />

This is my friend Kaye, first boss I had after moving to Texas and my longest friend here! I love her dearly, just wish we saw each other more than once or twice a year. (She moved further west a few years back to care for her aging parents) I used a couple of different freebies from <a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/">BooLand Designs</a> and my most favorite photo of her!<br />

This is my ex-step granddaughter Lindsey with her new daughter born on the 2nd. I used several different designers to create this page (forgot to write them all down) and today is also Lindsey's birthday, so a Big Happy Birthday to all 3 of you! <br />

Adored this photo of Jade and just had to scrap it for my book. She is actually trying to hide that she has lost a couple of teeth, but a little smile is creeping in anyway!<br />

Maggie had posted these photos of Wayne crying for a ride on Daddy's big tractor and I wanted to put them all on a page together. I used a free template with a couple of changes. Will have to check and see who gifted it.<br />

This one I created yesterday for a photo that Amy sent of the girls with their lap desks and "no mess" paint books.

And lastly, I finally took photos of my 5 blog books (2008-2016) I have had published (and my one Social Book from Facebook) to show to Miss Edna. I always use the same color and format for the blog books, just different front and back cover photos.Even, though I have been in a foul mood, I did manage a few pages. I want to thank all the designers that so generously share their talent with me so that when I get a chance, I can scrap something rather quickly.<br />
Hope all of you are well and are having a marvelous weekend making memories to share! Will chat more next time. Hugs to all! Mat <br />

It was 86F yesterday, to reach about 90F today. I am sitting here with all my windows up, letting the breeze chase the dust bunnies around. My fur babies are loving sitting on the windowsills breathing fresh air. I am sure I will pay for it later (with sneezing), but it is just too warm to be inside all shut up! We have broken all records for most number of days with 80 degrees or above for the winter months! Sure do dread summer as it will probably be a very, very warm (HOT) one! LMBO!<br />
Since I have been plagued lately with arthritis AND carpal tunnel problems in my right hand, I haven't been as active on my computer as I would like. ROFLMAO for sure! I did manage a few pages, but thankfully with using templates or freebie QPs, I haven't had to use my hand much. With a brace on the hand and wrist I can achieve a few things around here, but it's not real conducive to using a mouse and creating layouts! So........THANKS to all you designers who have such BIG and GENEROUS hearts for your help!<br />
Here are some that I did get done. <br />

My first cousin, Nancy, lost her husband Al on Saturday before Valentine's Day, so I did a Memories page for her of a favorite photo, she used it at his memorial service.<br />

These pages were by special request from Amy and Maggie of the cousins playing together. All were having a blast except for Hayden, she was in school, so I added the photo of her and Papa so she didn't feel left out of the fun. Papa was weeding in his flower bed and didn't want his photo taken, but...Amy did it anyway, LOL! He peeled and cut 2 oranges off the tree for them to eat. Thomas being new to the family made sure he was watching over all 4 of them playing!<br />

Here's another, by request, from Kathy of her hubby and 2 sons with their beards. I think that is the last of them. I did make a paper (or tried to) for President's Day that I put on Miriam's Scraps. This is my photo made at Mt. Rushmore and a USA Flag merged together.<br />

I need to get up from here, been sitting long enough and the brace is beginning to irritate, so will hush for now. Will chat with you again later. Hopefully you will all be enjoying the weekend that is rapidly approaching and will make lots and lots of memories to share! Until next time...Hugs, Mat<br /><br />

Seems like I just posted about January ending and now it's the middle of February! To be honest I haven't done a lot of things that I should have because old Arthritis decided to pounce on me for a bit, especially in my neck and my right "mouse" hand! Getting older is definitely not for the weak!! Anyhow, it took me more than a week to create these Valentine's Day Pages for my family...here they are!!<br />

And lastly, my sister-in-law, Jannette and her hubby Mike. I just adore this photo, guess that is why I use it so much.<br />
I posted all these on Facebook for them and wanted them in my book for next year. Thanks to all the designers for the freebies I used. K, got to stop for awhile, my fingers are refusing to work...y'all take care, have a fabulous weekend and make sure to make lots and lots of memories to share! Chat more next time! Hugs to all!

Time flies when you are having fun, right? I've had a busy month, but for the life of me, I can't tell you doing what! Other than normal day to day routines...I have scrapped some (not enough), watched TV (bingeing), listened to music (love my Echo), Ancestry research for a friend (so much fun), coloring (very soothing), printing my blog book (it's on it's way to me now), making my yearly calendar (so fun this year), creating some for Miriam (she sure is taking a long break), talking on phone a lot with my niece Amy (she loves to talk until my cell phone dies), scrapping still some more....and most importantly, loving on and being loved on by my fur babies. We so love snuggling together on the electric throw on the bed to watch TV! (especially in this crazy roller coaster weather)! I am so blessed that I am retired and do not HAVE to go out in it if I don't want to or mingle with the crowds and come home with a bug I've caught!! So many down with some virus or other allergy (Mountain Cedar has been astronomical this year)!<br />
Monday the foundation guys were here to lift the corner of my house some more (gosh I hope they don't have to do this again, it messes up the ground and the inside of my house). I did all my grocery shopping on Tuesday. Yesterday my little 93 year old neighbor came home from the hospital and I am checking on her quite often today! I made a huge pot of Cowboy stew yesterday (that gets better each time
it is warmed up) and a big pan of cornbread so I am set as far as
cooking goes.The laundry is done, the floors are swept and mopped, I checked my to do list before I got my shower...all done so I have the weekend to do nothing of importance, but watch the
ProBowl game! YAY!!<br />
Here are the few pages I have done (these are for my next blog book...LOL)!<br />

Maggie's young ones playing in the mud after a rainstorm....they sure had fun. Used a Template from Kimeric Kreations for this one. Love Wayne splashing the water!!<br />
I've got several more I am working on, but this is all for now. If you want some Valentine's Check out Miriam's Scraps for some that I will be offering...this is the first cluster frame and QP!<br />

This template calendar comes with the image and the same image with the clear openings over the dates so you can put the photo or info or whatever between them. I simply adore it and it is so easy to work with, I have her name linked to her facebook account if you want to contact her! That is all for now, chat more later!

First off, the holidays were hectic (with lots of clean up to do) and then we had gorgeous weather so spent some time outside doing a few projects, then it got incredibly cold (x 2 days) before spring came back around. Checked on all my plants that I put inside to protect from the freeze, wrong....they all froze anyhow! New Year's day I spent cooking for myself and an ill and shut in friend (pulled pork, black eye peas, steamed cabbage, cornbread). <br />
Then I came down with a case of bronchitis that left me dragging and not wanting to post...then my 93 yr old neighbor had another mini stroke...my renters had family members visiting....we had another round of freezing temps (x4 days this time) even a light dusting of snow and again spring came back by and yet another round of bronchitis (Mountain Cedar was horrible), this time sending me to the doctor's office. I've also been doing a family tree for another friend and trying to visit with her and lots of phone calls with my sister or my niece, tree trimming with a lot of clean up, bad storms with lots of wind and rain (3.9 inches) (some flooding) and 6 tornadoes, the Cowboys losing to my second favorite team the Packers and, and, and....blah, blah, blah...you know how it is...I was simply lazy and didn't want to do it! Go ahead laugh at me, but...I am so enjoying this being retired and not having to account for my time (or get dressed)! LOVING IT REALLY!<br />

Okay, the washer has quit and I need to put the load in the dryer, so think I will cut this short and chat with y'all later, I need to do some blog reading, (if I can stay awake) because I am so behind! Anyhow, we are supposed to get more rain this afternoon and most of the evening. I have been up since about 2:45 a.m. and am beginning to drag...trying to stay up and not nap so I can try to kick this insomnia in the butt....LMBO!! Y'all have a fantastic week and keep making all those memories to share. Hugs, Mat<br />

To all the FABULOUS and very GENEROUS Designers that make my scrapping so much easier, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you share. Appreciate each and every one of you!<br />
Until next post...many hugs sent to all and enjoy making soooooooo many memories with your loved ones!<br />

Merry CHRISTmas from my fur babies and me! We hope it is a very merry one and that you are able to share it with all your family, friends and loved ones! Can you believe another year has come and gone so fast? I have been busy (but for the life of me, I can't tell you at what) and haven't posted in a few weeks! We had a bout with the cold frigid temps (dropped 50 degrees in a couple hours and stayed below freezing for 40+ hours), but no snow yet this year. Not likely to get any either as the temps are going up again. This yo-yo weather has lots of us sick and out of sorts....me included with a case of bronchitis. Sucks when you have so much you need or want to do! On the bright side...I am very happy to still be here to celebrate the holidays! YES I AM VERY GRATEFUL!<br />
I have made a couple of birthday pages for this month and missed a few birthdays even...guess you do begin to slip with the sharp memory when you get old....LMBO! Here's a page for Jade, can you believe she turned 10 on the 15th? She looks so cute in <a href="http://lugarencantadodaneli.blogspot.com/http://lugarencantadodaneli.blogspot.com/">Neli's</a> Birthday Frame!<br />

The 22nd, Maggie celebrated another birthday and I made this card for her and put it on Facebook. I used a photo that is on canvas (it's gorgeous) and the cluster is from <a href="http://kimerickreations.blogspot.com/">Kimeric Kreations</a>.<br />

These 2 are from a TBT post I did while scanning some older photos. The one of Amy and I is probably from about 2003 or so... the QP is from <a href="mailto:manu@manudesigns.com">Manu Scraps</a> from her Whispers Past kit and the one of Jan and Scotty is their wedding day back some 20+ years ago (I was her maid of honor). Their page is by <a href="http://lugarencantadodaneli.blogspot.com/">Neli</a> and WA is by Miss Boots.<br />

I have also put quite a few Christmas themed freebies on <a href="http://miriams-scrap.blogspot.com/">Miriam's Scraps</a> too if you are interested, check them out, you might find something you like.<br />
I have created about 2 dozen Christmas pages for family and friends that I will share with you later. don't want to make this post too long. I need to get up from this chair and stretch out a bit, this crap just makes me feel tired and weak...so think I will take me a short restorative nap and a quick snuggle with my fur babies. It is misting rain here and just cool enough with the wind to give you a chill if you go out, so I'm staying in...LOL! Y'all have a great day and as I said before a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! Make lots and lots of terrific memories to share. Until next post....HUGS! Much love, Mat<br />

Don't know what I did all year, but I stayed busy for most of it...LMBO! Can't even believe I've not posted on my blog since Thanksgiving either! I've not done a whole lot of scrapping (except for some Christmas presents) and making a couple of things to put on <a href="http://miriams-scrap.blogspot.com/">Miriam's Scraps</a>! I have finished all I intend to do for Christmas and even got my (drastically cut down) cards in the mail....now I can relax a little. I have downloaded some of the World Wide Christmas freebies, but not all yet! I need to do some reorganizing of my computer and unzip all that I have downloaded so far! I have been reconnecting with some old acquaintances by RAK pages (that has really been fun)!<br />
We are experiencing a 2 day spurt of below freezing weather, so I have been vigilante with putting plant pots in the storage barn and covering those I cannot move...got all the hoses put away and outside faucets are covered...all the fur babies have clean beds and warming blankets are all plugged in for them to stay out of the weather and I think my vehicle and home are as protected as I can get them so I really think I can just sit back and relax a little...now it's time to pay the yearly taxes and insurance and get a new lease signed by my fabulous renters. <br />
All my family seems to be doing pretty good and nieces and nephews (and "great" ones, too) are all asking me to come home for the holidays, but just will not be able to this year! I really miss them, but when I finally do manage a trip home, they will appreciate it more right? (Really ROFL here)<br />
Here is a page I created for both my sisters...it's our mother (who's in Heaven watching over us) with her 8 great grandchildren. My how they have grown since the last one I did... <br />

As I sit here drinking my 3rd cup of coffee and reflecting on all I am thankful for, I decided to update my delinquent blog! I am very thankful for my life, my fur babies, my family, my friends and all the awesome and very generous designers that share their talent with me. So, I want to take this opportunity (in case I have told you before) to wish you and yours a most wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving! I hope God shines his grace on you and your family this day and always! I'm also sending all of you a big hug! (This is a QP I created for<a href="http://miriams-scrap.blogspot.com/"> Miriam's Scraps</a> using a "Thankful" circle from Marisa Lerin at <a href="https://www.pixelscrapper.com/">Pixel Scrapper</a>). The Scarecrow photo was a selfie from last May.<br />
I have been busy being a lazy bum....LMBO....yes, I have been binge watching some TV, been winterizing my home inside and out, finishing up with all my medical checklist for the year, trying to get ahead of the Christmas holiday by purchasing and mailing off some packages early, creating some of these gifts too (since the budget always seems to be tight this time of year because of house insurance and taxes) relaxing by coloring and/or scrapping or reading and generally goofing off! I surely do love retirement! Of course, all the fur kids just had to have a hand with helping me! Especially with getting all their beds freshly washed and litterboxes all cleaned!<br />
Last Sunday was my sister Penny's birthday....so I created a couple of special pages for her on Facebook!<br />
The first is a photo of her sometime back in the late 70's or early 80's in a frame that I doubled and layered that was created by Neli at <a href="http://lugarencantadodaneli.blogspot.com/">Lugar Encantado Da Neli.</a>..she is so very generous with offerings for free daily on her site...give her a visit...you will NOT be disappointed! Thankful for you and your friendship Neli!<br />

Then I did this one of her that Maggie sent when she took the photo in Penny's office. She is holding her oldest (Hayden) and youngest (Wayne) grandchild in her lap. I just adore the red nose! The page was created using several kits from Kyra at <a href="http://smiekeltje.blogspot.com/">With A Russian-Dutch Heart</a>. The border is a free gift from Snickerdoodle at <a href="https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/">Digital Scrapbooking Studio</a>. Kyra, too, gives very freely of her talents with marvelous kits and special treats from her CT Arlene! Kyra and Arlene, so very thankful for you and especially your friendships! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This page I just had to create! While scanning some albums and photos (Photomyne) I ran across the b/w photo of Penny (about 1961) and noticed the remarkable similarities of her and child Amy and her granddaughters Annabeth and Eliza. What do you think? Amy just adores the page that was a freebie offered by Katalin Thurzo at 7szindizajn, I love this free QP.<br />

I also HAD to create this page for my sister Kathy....she is looking a lot better here lately! I am really thankful for that, I love you sis! I can't find where I wrote the information down on this QP, so will have to get back with you a little later, but she loves purple and orange and this QP fit the bill for both! LMBO!<br />

This page I created for Veteran's Day to post on FB to thank all those that have served in the military! Of course, there is no way I can list them all because there are way too many. The photo is of my mother's brother, Worley Frank Dugger, who was killed in Luxembourg on Christmas Day 1944. The page was created using freebies from Digital Scrapbooking Studio!</div>

I think this all I can share right now, there are others, but they are surprises for Christmas and will have to be shared at a later date!<br />
The lawn folks were by yesterday, sharpening up the edges, mowing, and leaf gathering so that all will look nice for Thanksgiving! My fur kids have all been wiped clean, fed and played with (loved on too) and are all sacked out, with one lying on top of my hand as I try typing this....my little man, Sideways (otherwise known as Bubba)....He got up when I tried to snap the photo, isn't this sweet? I desaturated the photo so you could see how gorgeous he is...he is sitting above my keyboard. I used a couple of clusters from A-Manda Creations' Blue jean collection and Brendas Scrap Designs Christmas glitter paper and the grunge overlay is from Carin Grobe Designs at <a href="https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/">DSS</a><br />

OK...so I got distracted and stepped away for a bit, but am back now to finish what I started at 7 a.m. (It is now 10:30). I want to thank all the designers I have not mentioned in this post...keep an eye out for when I do post something of yours that I used and if I haven't given you proper credit, let me know as I will correct that as soon as I can...I adore all of you and appreciate so very, very much all you share!<br />
Weather is a little nippy but is supposed to warm to 65F and the wind is to quieten down too! Tomorrow is supposed to be gorgeous...so, with that, I will say chat later, have a very Happy Thanksgiving and make sure ou make lots and lots of memories to share! hugs, Mat<br />

Here it is time to turn our clocks back, don't you wish we could turn back the years as well? I do at times!! Especially when I have had insomnia (waking at 2 a.m.) and start scrapping old memories....LOL....then I run into some new memories being created and I'm glad that time keeps marching on! The trips down memory lane are so wonderful, but they were fraught with some bad times too that we simply choose to push away and bury! But the new ones being created....those are the best ones...cause I get to see my nieces and nephews growing their families and I get to spoil them as I did their parents. Of course, the most fun I have with spoiling....is for all the fur babies that come and go or stay in my life! I'm still at 5 inside and at least a dozen or more outside that need feeding daily! I could spend more on scrap kits if I didn't buy so much cat food or pay for vet bills...LMBO here....but I have so many choices of freebies from such GENEROUS designers, that I really have no need to purchase....just want to occasionally! ROFL!<br />
This week has really been a strange one with my sleeping pattern...normally I get 6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep...NOT THIS WEEK....it's more like 3-4 hours. So, instead of lying around, watching things I have DVR'd or reading (which I have been doing plenty of both), I have been scanning old photo albums and/or making some memory pages...making sure I have all my digitized photos backed up...reorganizing files on my computer....put like scrapping items together...and yes, even cleaning and clearing out some cobwebs and down sizing my closet (things that others might be able to use, that I am not, after all...I love staying in my jammies on most days...LOL)!<br />
It has been such a humid summer (or I'm just getting older and noticing it more) that I haven't been able to open my windows and/or be outside much, but this last front that came through on Friday....gave us some much needed watering, less humidity and even cooler that 90F temperatures...WAHOO...that means my windows have been open and even the dust bunnies are dancing around! It is so nice to have that freshness in the inside....and oh yeah, the fur babies are loving the window sills again...at least until I sit at this computer, then they "fight" over who is going to sit on the desk above my keyboard! I LOVE IT!!!<br />
Hopefully, this week will bring an end to some of the nastiness that is being slung around on the airwaves and social media (I'm so tired of it all) as we start a new journey with a new government reign! We had new baseball champs (108 years since they won), hopefully our Cowboys will continue to improve their record, and NASCAR is winding down another year of great racing (they are here this weekend) that ends in the next 2 races...our VETS get their day of honor this month too...(they are honored by me daily as I am so very proud of all of them for all the freedoms I enjoy at their expense)...I have even changed my outside light to <span style="color: lime;">green</span> to honor them and I tell them in person when I encounter them! We have Thanksgiving coming this month too (not that you would know as all the merchants just seem to skip over this holiday anymore). And, of course, there are lots of birthdays to celebrate too...my cousin Nancy, my sister Penny, my great nephew Calvin just to name a few.<br />
Alright...enough rambling from me...going to get this finished...put on some good old country music...finish up my mopping (that's what I have left to do besides dusting, but the open windows is relocating that for me) and get ready for <span style="color: blue;">DA BOYZ</span> to play at noon (which means I have to DVR NASCAR to watch after the game)...don't you just love us sports nuts? I can't help it...I do love it and I think we all should do things we love....Right? Can you tell I have been up since 3 a.m. and just finished my second cup of coffee? ROFLMAO!!!<br />
So, with that....here are some of the pages I created this past week or so! First off, here's my page for this Halloween (which was very quiet in this neighborhood).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The QP is a freebie from the <a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/">Digital Scrapbooking Studio</a> girls...I just love that black cat...the photo is from 2008.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is my sister-in-law, Inez, isn't she lovely? I had this QP by Brigit from <a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/">DSS</a> that I wanted to use and this photo from the middle 70's is beginning to deteriorate so I digitized it and desaturated it. She loves it, as does the rest of the family, cause I put it on Facebook as a TBT for her.<br />

The 9th will be my cousin Nancy's birthday...I had scanned a couple of her photos and decided to use this one in a freebie from <a href="https://mydigitalpapers.blogspot.com/">Dea</a> that I plan to put on FB as a surprise this week, and since she loves the changing of the leaves...I decided to make this page for her as well using a cluster freebie from ADS cluster at <a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/">DSS</a> and a background from <a href="http://miriams-scrap.blogspot.com/">Miriam's Scraps</a>.<br />

This memory is of Penny's first visit to Texas (about 1983 I think) Fuzzy and I were dropping her off at the airport to return home. I used a free cluster from GTDesigns and used a background from Kyra at <a href="http://smiekeltje.blogspot.com/">With A Russian-Dutch Heart</a> that I recolored.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Found this older photo of Amy and Michael (pre kids) that I realized I had not used before...so I used her favorite colors to create this for her. I used <a href="http://smiekeltje.blogspot.com/">Kyra</a>'s kit Manuela and a cluster from her CT Arlene!<br />

This photo was snapped of Daddy and Annabeth (dressed in her Halloween BatGirl) while out shopping on one of his rare days off...the free QP is from <a href="http://eudoradesigns.blogspot.com/">Eudora Designs</a>.<br />

Amy sent these 2 photos of the girls watching a movie and sharing their cookie bites together. They are so very close and Annabeth says Eliza is her baby...LOL...I hope they remain this way always...nothing like a sister's love!

This is for my sister Penny who will celebrate a BIG birthday on the 20th...the photo is one I scanned from the middle 70's....and placed in a frame from Neli at <a href="http://lugarencantadodaneli.blogspot.com/">Lugar Encantado Da Neli</a>. I duplicated the frame and resized them to put one on top of the other with a colored layer in between.<br />

On the 19th, her grandson Calvin will turn 3...he is crazy about Thomas the Train, so I created this page using a kit called Choo-Choo by Nibbles Scribbles at <a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/">DSS</a> (it was on sale for $1 and is an awesome kit for boys! He is going to love being the conductor!<br />

This is just because....I got an updated photo of my sister Kathy...and I used her 2 favorite colors to create this remembrance. She hasn't seen this yet...LOL! The free cluster is from hyellen at dfdd and I used a freebie stacked paper for the background...I rather like it and is shows off her blue, blue eyes!<br />

I created a page using a kit called Our Three Sons (Collab kit by A-manda & Nibble Scribbles at <a href="https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/">DSS</a>) to make a memory for them that I posted on Facebook. The photos are copied via Photomyne from snapshots in a frame sitting in my bedroom. They are twins, but such totally different young men. Lance is the outdoors type, married and has 3 children of his own. Lamar is the bookworm, who prefers to be alone with just his laptop! They are good boys ('scuse me, they are still boys to me...LOL)!<br />

Yesterday was my BIL, Jim's birthday (Kathy), so scrambling around to find some photos, I ran across one made in 1976 when they were stationed at Ft. Walton Beach that I extracted him from and put in a free QP from Mirella at<a href="http://laitha.com/"> LTH Designs</a> that I put on Facebook as well. He has been my BIL a long time and I hope it stays that way for a long time yet.<br />

Okay, 'tis enough of boring y'all for now. Sorry, been in a pensive mood lately as I am dealing with (a "potential" medical problem) that is taking way too long to solve....so the scrapping takes my mind off of it. No need to worry yet, so staying busy! Now, time to get off my hiney and do something constructive...or at least pretend to anyway...ROFL!<br />
Have a wonderful weekend wherever you are and remember to fill it making lots and lots of memories to share! Until next chat....Hugs, Mat<br />

My friend, Jannette, asked me for a couple birthday pages for her friend Patty on the 9th, I made her 3, she couldn't decide which she liked best so she posted all of them...LOL! 2 of them are from Happy Days QPs by Designs by Brigit and 1 is a frame from Neli at Lugar Encantado Da Neli.<br />

Since it took me two hours to upload these photos and having to shut down and restart my computer 3 times to get blogger to accept them...I'm tired...think I will hush for now and feed my fur kids and me and see what I can finish up of my laundry before The Voice and Dancing With the Stars come on...LMBO! Keep making those memories to share and y'all have a marvelous week ahead...chat more with you later! Hugs, MatMats Worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04681862902624241164noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837367557089116537.post-42709052851275475412016-10-03T15:45:00.002-07:002016-10-03T15:45:23.615-07:00Hello October!Holy Smokes where has this year flown too? It seems to just be flying by without allowing me time for anything....ROFLMAO! (I really think it is called binge watching Netflix)....I seem to NOT get as much done each day because of my "addiction"! I watched 22 episodes of Quantico in 2 days...I think that qualifies as an addiction, don't you? It has taken over this other "addiction" of blogging! Baahaahaahaa!<br />
<br />
Since Christmas is so close, I have been trying to organize and section out some of my scrapping supplies for more room and they move DSD up a month on me, so....I had to do some more super shopping and pick up all the gorgeous freebies too! (especially the CU FB Hop at Digital Scrapbooking Studio). Now I have more copying and saving and reorganizing to do....Geez (secretly, I love it)!!<br />
<br />
Yesterday was a great day all around. The Cowboys won...so did the Texas Rangers....so did Martin Truex, Jr in NASCAR and the USA team won the Ryder Cup (1st time in 8 years) and....and....and....best of all a friend came over and trimmed some really low hanging tree limbs that I was afraid would start scraping my roof....so today I got to pile all of them on the curb for trash removal tomorrow...(see I did sneak in some exercise other than pushing buttons on the remote)!<br />
<br />
We have had superb temps this past week with lower humidity and lighter winds...so I got to open windows and screen doors to allow in some fresh air...rearrangement of some dust bunnies....and pollen to give my eyes and throat a fit...so only left them open for half the day, but loving it! To be a little warmer this week (of course, it's because the State Fair of Texas opened last Friday) but is to stay under 90F, which is great when the humidity is low!<br />
<br />
Today my sister Kathy and her Jim have been married for 47 years...not bad, not bad at all! I hope they celebrate at least that many more! I used a QP by Brigit (<a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/">DSStudio</a>) from her kit Rustic Fall and a word art from Marisa at <a href="http://www.pixelscrapper.com/">Pixel Scrapper</a>.<br />

My cousin (by marriage in 1957) passed away peacefully on the 28th. Since I could not attend his funeral in Kentucky, I created this tribute page for him using kits by Kyra at <a href="http://smiekeltje.blogspot.com/">With A Russian-Dutch Heart</a> and her CT Arlene and posted it to FB. The photo I used was the last one his wife sent before her passing in 2005. I haven't seen him since my father's funeral in 1998. RIP Kenneth, happy you will be reunited with your Nokie and your son Ronnie and his son. Should be a joyous reunion!<br />

Can you believe it? Little Jayson turned 5 on the 27th....seems like just yesterday we celebrated his birth. He is such a handsome lad and loves his chocolate donuts...I swiped this photo from his mom's Facebook page to use in this tribute. (O No, can't find who I got the QP from)<br />

This QP is by Jilbert's Bits of Bytes (<a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/">DSStudio</a>) using her kit City By The Bay and I just had to add a photo of me made on the balcony of my hotel room with San Francisco Bay in the background.

Thanks for visiting and come back again soon. I need to get out of this chair and move about a bit before my butt falls asleep...LOL! Y'all have a great week! Until next time....keep making those wonderful memories to share!

I've just been on a reading binge, as well as some unexpected long phone conversations with a couple of friends that I haven't spoken with in awhile, a visitor for out of state, cleaning up some outside and inside (flower pots, windows and windowsills, changing sheers, etc), binge watching a few shows and just all around lazy, lazy, lazy!<br />
I did some personal stuff for my tax guy and when I delivered to him, he told me he is retiring and sold his business.....so, I will not have to work next spring! Not sure if I am happy or sad about that yet as that was extra monies put aside for taxes and insurance on the duplexes! But I am very happy that he is going to have some time to do some of the things he and his family like to do before he is unable to!<br />
No Fall temperatures for us anytime soon. It is almost unbearably hot here again this week with the increased humidity! 104F is predicted for today and is to be close to that all week, but supposedly a "cold" front will move into the area over the weekend dropping us into the upper 80's and a possibility of some rain!<br />
I have managed a few scrap pages during this lazy spell, only because Amy sent some cute photos and Annabeth had a birthday, and my BIL has a birthday today and Amy asked me to create some pages using her vacation photos! I have put some on Facebook, but not all of them...I did a couple of TBT pages too...LMBO...scanning old albums has been really a blast with lots of journeys into some awesome memories! Check these out!<br />

Sweet Annabeth turned 3 on the 7th of this month and had an Ariel themed part, so she loved this greeting from Ariel, using a clipart (free) and a frame by Neli. I love the second one because of the colors and her facial expression...the photo is from Eliza's birthday party in May and the page is from Digital Design Resort<br />

Today is my Weymond's birthday (my BIL) so I used a freebie from Studio Manu and a photo I recently scanned from his visit to my home in TX in the early 80's! Probably only time he's been that far from home! LMBO!<br />

This one after they got home and Daddy and Eliza took a nap together. Just so sweet I had to create this page using Snickerdoodle's You Are a Masterpiece Kit! I will find the missing information and create the links in a bit. I can't find my paper where I wrote them down and my memory is slipping. LMBO!<br />
Anyhow, I need to get my hiney up from this chair and fix something to eat...it is almost 2 p.m. and I have only had 2 cups of coffee today, so getting hungry!<br />
Chat with you more later....Hugs, Mat<br />

I must admit I really became a couch potato until it was over! I watched games that I had never watched before and stayed glued to my TV and taped stuff during the night to catch the next day...LMBO...yes, I know a little OCD, but....I did it anyway! I failed to concentrate much on anything else other than feeding my fur babies and cleaning up behind them before I started watching each day! I did only the minimal around here, so...this week I have been relocating dust bunnies off the furniture and cleaning a dirty house...all my floors needed a good cleaning (that took me 2 days) and the dust on the furniture wanted to fight me transferring them somewhere else!!! Oh, and all my pjs needed to be washed and dried and folded and put away, I did get out of them long enough to get the grocery shopping done (only because I needed cat food :D and litter)! I even spent a day doing some stuff for my CPA's military reunion next month and got my car washed. And, most importantly, I had to make a few scrap pages (did these when the news was on cause I could listen while I scrapped)!<br />
The weather this month has been totally WEIRD....first 12 days we had temps of 100+ and not much rain, then the next 11 days was cloudy, overcast, in the middle 80's and almost 4" of rain. Now the weather has changed again for the new school year to begin....lower to mid 90's...but so HUMID it feels like it is 100 again. <br />
I am trying to get back into a normal (?) routine again...but kind of enjoyed the LAZINESS and it's taking a little longer! Can you believe we are almost into September (and all the new shows/series start) and Labor Day is just around the corner? <br />
Here are the pages I scrapped since I last posted...got to get them in my book....and I have a lot more to do to catch up. Amy sent me several new photos and Kathy's grandkids are all in school now, so when I do finally catch up, I will be busy scrapping! Amy's birthday was the 12th...(would have been my brother's too) and Oreo turned 11. <br />

Amy's beauties playing dress up...love the one made in the mirror! Look at Annabeth's face in the bottom photo...Love it! Most of these pages have been made a while, but just decided to post them. I do have the names of the QP designers, but will have to see where I put that list and get back with links to them!<br />
Got to get up out of this chair and move around, I think it is almost time to feed those fur babies again! Finished with what I aim to get done today and then I think I will catch up with a few blogs I have neglected and see if my friends are still talking with me since I have ignored them for so long....ROFL! Y'all have a FABULOUS weekend and make lots and lots of memories to share! More later....Hugs, Mat<br />

I do not know where the day goes! I get up really early each morning and am up usually till the 10 p.m. news is over, but seems I get less and less done or I am just taking longer to do the things I do get done each day! I have good intentions of posting, then I start a project like cleaning an area, think of something else I need to do (before I finish the one I am on) then get sidetracked doing that and come back to what I was doing...eat a bit in the middle of the day...then it's bed time! I must admit, I do have a weird routine, but the fur kids keep me busy a lot, I stop and watch a little TV, I sit at the computer (when my hands allow it) and then it's time to feed the fur kids, clean up behind them again and then retire to watch the evening news and various shows I am "hooked" on, but I just don't seem to get as much accomplished as I set out to at the beginning of the day! (Old age is creeping in I guess). Actually, I have been on the phone a lot lately with Amy (sometimes 2-3 hours at a time, they miss me..) and have been helping a friend find some info on Ancestry.com, and helping another over a rough patch with a medical issue (she's in MA and I am in TX so the phone calls take a bit of time) and I am trying to clear out and organize my computer and other things to have my life in some kind of order (for those left after my time on this earth is over) and it just seems to rob me of time for doing fun things....LOL!<br />
Here are some pages I have managed to scrap in the time since I posted last...I need to post them here so they will be in my book that is printed at the end of the year. Those books are so delightful to view during the "free" times I have. Others really seem to enjoy perusing them as well. Nice journaling of my personal history too! These 3 photos I created pages for Kathy's son Jason and his kids when they enjoyed a "dress up" to olden days on one of their trips to 6 Flags...aren't they just the cutest? Kathy especially requested the page of Jade alone since she adores the photo. I love the one of the 3 kids together (which I recolored) because of the signs in the background. I'm not sure I can remember all the designers that I used, but will give it a great and valiant try!<br />

So, sticking with this theme...I was using my new Photomyne App to scan albums with my iPhone when I ran across a couple of photos from my time spent in Turkey in 1967-1969. Such wonderful memories just started flooding in and I did these 2 pages. The first one (I recolored a b/w to fit this QP) was made at the Istanbul airport in 1969 as we were headed home (my dress was handmade for me as I had a 17" waist and couldn't find clothes to fit), the second was in 1968 with a friend (sad to say I have forgotten her name now and Pete has passed on) but I have other photos I have scanned in that I hope to create scrap pages for soon. (Love this expensive $5 app)<br />

Next I got a couple of photos from Maggie of the boys to scrap for her on Facebook. Calvin is all about Tractors and when he can ride on one with his daddy or Papa, he is one happy little boy! His brother Wayne is just so stinking cute in this photo, how could I resist making a page for him using it?</div>

Then, Amy sent me a few photos at the insistence of Princess Annabeth for some pages...that little girl is almost as big a talker as her mama and she just wants what she wants....I can't say no to her, other than No, I can't come to visit right now! She and Hayden think I should be visiting with them as often as they want to see me....Loving the affection and really longing to visit with all of them, but I haven't the money right now nor someone to care for my fur kids in my absence! (sniff, sniff).</div>

Top photo is of Annabeth with her princess dress and crown on, the second is her in her bed fighting a nap. The third is Eliza when she fell asleep reading her Frozen book, the fourth is Eliza watching Snow White while her sissy is napping. The fifth is a trip to WalMart for Amy and the girls while Hayden was visiting them and the last one is a few years ago of Amy for a TBT photo on Facebook. Goodness how I love that child!<br />

I am only 30 miles west of Dallas. Still takes over all the newscasts because of the out pouring of love for our Men in Blue. Hits close to home for me since I was a police dispatcher (as was my mother) and I was married to a policeman for 12 years total (married and divorced and then remarried him), my sister works at the Sheriff's Office and her son-in-law is a jailer/deputy! I shudder to think what our country would be like with no police officers! Thanks for Police Chief David Brown and Mayor Mike Rawlings for conducting themselves very professionally and taking care of the families of the slain/injured. Today the POTUS (and President Bush) will be in town for a memorial service and all the burials are to take place the rest of the week.<br />
Sad, sad times around the US as the division grows...we need to stop all the groups stirring up the HATE...we are all human beings, we need to accept and love each other! We are born to love, but the HATRED is taught (the devil is definitely at work)! I've stayed off Facebook a lot lately because I don't want to see all the negativity, but I did see a few photos I wanted from there. Here they are!<br />

God Bless all of them and their families and bless this country! We need HIM back in our lives so this nation can heal! <br />
Hot & Humid & Windy....July in Texas! Means staying indoors as much as possible in the air conditioning! LOL! Gives me time to do some organizing of files on my computer and doing a complete backup too! Wow, it takes awhile since I have so much on my PC. Lots of music, photos and scrapbooking kits too! Feel good about the progress I have made, but still have more to do as my arthritic fingers will allow! I did manage to do a few pages off and on at times....take a look!<br />

A page of remembrance for Calvin's first catfish he caught all by himself..he was so pleased. His daddy and Papa said he couldn't reel it in so he just kept backing up until he pulled it out of the water...smart boy! I used embellishments from <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://manuscraps.com/">Manu</a></span> and <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://smiekeltje.blogspot.com/">With A Russian Dutch Heart</a></span> and <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://kimerickreations.blogspot.com/">Kimeric Kreations</a></span> and wordart from <a href="https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/"><span style="color: red;">Prairie Song Scraps</span></a> to create the
page.<br />

Amy's girls again in a page I created using a background from <a href="http://smiekeltje.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red;">RDH's Kyra</span> </a>and 2 clusters by Amanda at <a href="https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/">Digital Scrapbooking Studio</a>.<br />
Thanks to all these terrific designers as most of them supply me with awesome freebies. I just got some beautiful photos of Kathy's grandchildren that I will be scrapping next! Stay tuned y'all!<br />
The last week of June I was called to my physician's office for a battery of tests my insurance company wanted done before the 30th. I was there almost 4 hours and only problem was some hardening of arteries causing my blood pressure to drop some when I stand. He has suggested a vitamin to help them expand. I have lost 12 pounds since last October when he saw me last...that was good news. I had my well woman check up yesterday, no new problems found (unless blood work comes back with some) and have my mammogram scheduled, so that means I'm good for another year right? All checkups with my eyes, teeth and physical done for this year as soon as this mammo and bone density is finished! Can't complain about anything but the arthritis.....LMBO! Feeling Good!!!!!<br />
Got to run pickup my prescriptions and get back inside. Will hush for now. In the meantime, make lots and lots of memories to share, stay healthy and happy! Chat more with you later! Hugs!! Mat<br />
