Hey every one nothing much happening here except it is still raining alot.We have had rain here for about week and I am getting kinda of tired of the gloomy days.Enough about the forecast Skyler my grandson who trys to help me with all this computer stuff,has to take a final today his last one then his big graduation is Saturday.He will then have his associates degree and maybe he will finally have some time to help me post my picturesof some of my new make over .I know you guys are probably getting very bored about just hearing all this stuff about the redo and posting pics for that I am very sorry.I am hoping Sky can teach this old dog some new tricks when it comes to learning about what all computers can do.I see all the neat stuff all of you do with your blog and I say ooohhh I want mine to look just half that good.So I try but I am always afraid that if I do something I am not sure how to do I will miss this silly computer up bad!!So here I set waiting for Sky to help me.If any of you can give me step by step directions on how to get some of those cute buttons on your blogs that I see and they always say to take one.Well I want to get them but just don't know what to do.So any advice would be so much appreciated.Maybe I should sign up the next time they offer computer classes for seniors.Probably not a bad idea huh.Have a great day every one!!

Hey everyone I have not posted for such along time.But the truth is I am in the middle of changing my whole decor.I am now changing to the sweet cottage look.Quite a change from prim to the cottage.I have just about got the kitchen done.I have taken a few pics but since I don't know how to post them I again have to wait for one of my kids to do it for me.I seriously want to learn how to post pics myself because I do not like waiting for someone.I have been folkart and prim for quite some time so this is a big over haul for me.I have been hitting garage sales and the second hand shops and have found some great things.The only bad thing about this change is I just painted my dining room in Feb. kind of a dark beige now I want it a butter cream color but I do not know just how soon that will happen.I have my summer swap ready to take to the post office tomorrow.I am also trying to change my yard decor too so it will go with the rest of the house.So I will try to get the pics on as soon as possible and I still like the prim look but I for some reason am liking the cottage fifties look better. Hope every one is having a great day it is cloudy and raining here it is suppose to rain till Thursday looks like I will be working on the inside for now.

Hi everyone sorry I haven't been on here for the last few days I have been painting my dining room.I started it Saturday late afternoon and got finished Monday.I love it.I painted the top of the walls cobblestone which is a tan and the wainscoting which is on the bottom of the walls I painted a shade of white called linen slipcover and all the trim is painted flatland which is a darker shade of tan.It has made such a change in this room.I will be posting pics probably later tonight or tomorrow.Today I will be tweaking and doing some painting of small things such as shelves and things.Last night I decided to fix something I had never made before for supper.A friend of mine gave me the recipe for Italian beef.It was really easy and oh so good.Get a good size roast season it with the pack of zesty italian dressing the dry au juice and 3 cups of water put all this into the crock pot and cook most of the day.When roast is tender and done take out cool and shred put back into crock with the juice and let simmer for just awhile.Serve on hoagy buns with some italian cheese and a cup of au juice to dip in.I also served with mine a pasta salad baked beans and chips.Skyler's girlfriend made oreo brownies for desert they too were also very good.She just smashed up about a half of pack of oreos mixed half into the brownie mix and baked then frosted them with a creamy vanillia frosting and sprinkled the rest of the oreos on top then served with a scoop of ice cream very gooood.Well that is all for today I have to get busy and get this dining room put back together.

Well I hope everyone has a very special Valentines Day tomorrow.I went out to super with my aunt and uncle tonight and had a good time.They came back here for desert I had made a texas cake last night I had not made one of them in years and it turned out pretty good.I'll have pics posted as soon as Skyler can post them of the cake and a few other things.One of these days I am going to have to learn how to do my own pictures for here.He takes forever some times when I ask him to do something but I know he is busy with school and the newspaper.I am so excited for Dan and Jeff in case you didn't hear they got the Country Sampler Home Tour edition with their house in it just in time for Valentines Day I think that is so neat I can't wait to get mine now.Everybody have a great day tomorrow remember to be extra sweet!!!
