Yoga at 70.....Me 2015

I went to Sandra Gail's house at sunrise. We did a photo session out by her pond. I truly hope I can do another shoot when I am 75.

Making pinecone flowers 2016

I started cutting with my clippers. that is a harder job than you would think. I also advise that you wear gloves as pine cones are rough on your hand.

I gathered pine cones that were on the ground under the pine tree in my yard. There was not enough for my project so I got the 22 and shot some more off the tree!

Cut, painted, glued and wired to picks and made flowers. A basket full!

It amazes me as to how easy this blog was to make. The pictures uploaded so fast. I am reminded of the time it took for this same process to happen on dial-up.

I may make more blogs!!

Let's talk about Nate

He could dribble a basketball with skill and precision as a third grader. He attended the same school as my granddaughter. I watched him play for two or three years, then he moved over to public school where they had a football program.
He came down with a sudden and confusing illness at about age 11. They had fund raisers everywhere for him. He spent many months in the Arkansas Children Hospital.
He made his recovery and entered into a contest to win a trip to the Super bowl. They choose several people who loved football and had overcome adversities to get an all expense paid trip to New York.

Painting the House

Painting the House in the spring of 2013.

Before

 I probably started in the wrong time of year. March of 2013 was a wet month. It was warm but not good painting weather.

 Before

 After the cleaning and taping off it set many days.

before

 The porch furniture set in the yard for 2 and a half months.

before

 I put plastic over the windows so I would have some light inside. that's the part that seemed to take the longest. keeping the windows covered.

After

 Very satisfied with the finished look. the cedar trim looks amazing.

After   The

back of the house.  This is the first time I have had it all done at the same time. For years I would paint the front one time and the back the next or maybe one end. the deck deck alone always kept me busy. What a joy to have it all done at once!
