Updated at end. Please say prayers for my sweet friend and neighbor, Jackie. She is a hand quilter of quite some skill. Jackie has colon cancer and had been doing well with her treatments at age 93, but now she has had a major heart attack. They wante
Why do we take on projects we shouldn't? It's so self-defeating. I remember the extremely stretchy high pile blanket a friend insisted I embroider with the name of a new baby in the church. That was a big lesson in saying no. Today it is high humidit
When I was a chubby, awkward middle schooler, I had the privilege of running around a track built by Coach Clebe McClary. He was a Vietnam Veteran and was recovering from more than 10 surgeries when he built that track. He was blind in one eye, missing
Feeling a little out of sync with the calendar and life because of Covid? Well, my December- January blooming narcissus has thrown a bloom at my front sign, in May, in hot ole' Alabama! So strange!
You may have caught before that I have a sort of love-hate relationship with my little Alabama town. Well, today I got my vaccination and there were gift bags. Sample bags of dog food, a pen, and a tiny hand sanitizer. Dog food??? I snatched my son's
Perspective is everything. The current free gift from Cute is labeled Easter. So, I stared at it real hard and decided it was meant to be Palm Fronds. After it being up for days and days, today I looked again at the peculiar shape of the Palm Fronds an
Moderators, on Cute Alphas, the Chrome ad is refusing to close when I "x" it - so I could choose a format and DL the little angel font of the day.
Spring Reconnoiter, part 1. Took my legal pad and pen and pick up stick and rake and blower to find out what the first things are that need cleaning up in the yard. Got about two hours' work done and came in with a long list for the next warm days - 69
Spring warnings. Early in week, thunderstorm and pouring rain at the crack of dawn, felt like tornado weather. Thursday heard a song bird singing up a storm, which, it's been a while. Friday, first two daffodils opened, which ya'll know is one of my
Lbrow - checked on Mrs. Lillian last night after not seeing her here in a while, and she is okay, been busy with family and appointments. Says she'll be back one of these days. Not to worry! We laughed a lot - you know what a delight she is.
Definitions of words change with the times. I just called my son, who I haven't seen for at least 6 weeks, with an emergency request. I had 10 light bulbs out that needed to be replaced on a ladder. I don't do ladders right now, because I don't want
Quote for Covid Times from Ralph Waldo Emerson: "May every day be your best day. No man has ever learned anything rightly until he knows that every day is Doomsday." Or, as they said in Elizabethan times, seize the day! I found this quote in a little
As of today, one of my new kittens (Bubba) has figured out how to toggle the light switch on and off, on and off, on and off. I think I'm in trouble here, as I'm outnumbered.
Wow - computer update issues. Suddenly lost my mouse pointer over an hour ago in the middle of doing something, and couldn't get it back, then couldn't get my icons back on my home screen. That was some massive update! I hate to think what my phone u
We can't talk politics on here, but can we talk prayer? Many American Cuties in our group are heartbroken by the events of today. We need prayer for our leaders, our nation, our government, our families, our way of life. And the hardest of all, pray f
