Love

Yesterday I was on my way home (made a quick trip to Pittsburgh to visit my grandparents) and stopped at the grocery store for a few things.  As I was checking out I noticed an older man in the next lane chatting with the clerk.  They seemed like they knew each other--like he came in the store often.  Anyway, as he left, the clerk told him "Enjoy your Oreos" to which he responded "These are for my bride".  I thought that was so sweet.  Both that he still called his wife his "bride" and that he stopped at the store for Oreos just for her.  I love seeing people still very much in love with each other even when they get older.  My grandparents that I mentioned are like that.  You don't have to be around them very long to know that they are still crazy about each other--even after 65 years.   We don't know much about Love like that these days.  Too bad.  The world would be a better place if we did.

Well, here's #2. I know, big deal, right? But I guess you don't get to entry #100 unless you have #2 first. =) Anyway, today was my day off and I spent a couple hours dyeing towels. So fun. I start with a pile of plain white flour sack towels and end up with beautiful colors. Today was Pearl Gray and Fuschia. Both turned out nicely, though I think the Fuschia did better. The Pearl Gray was a powdered dye and I don't like it as well. But it doesn't come in liquid, so... Now I just have to get some fabric medium and I can start painting on them!

As for this blog. There will be days that I will vent or get on my soapbox. That's just me. So for those posts I think I will title them "Soapbox Post" or "Rant" or something of that nature so that if you are not in the mood for that sort of thing you will know not to read them. Other days I might ramble about my craft love of the moment or a new recipe I've tried, or other mundane happenings of my life. I love the crafty blogs and the recipe blogs and diy blogs, etc, but mine is going to be a mixture of things---the way my life is. I work full time, so my crafting and card-making and cooking is all in between working, eating and sleeping. And mowing the lawn. Which is a whole other story. =) I don't have time to devote solely to any one thing, so this will be a variety blog and will depend highly on my mood of the day. I would like to post regularly, but again, I've tried this before and not managed it. So we'll see. I may post pictures, but I won't be doing any photoshopping to get them to look like magazine photos. Don't have time for that. Any photos will just be what they are--raw. lol I would like to make a few friends with this blog, and maybe get to know a few old friends a little better. That would make any effort at posting Well worth it. Here's hoping you'll stick around. =) Later.

I'm mulling over the idea of starting this again, making it a public thing this time. I've started several times and have stopped them for one reason or another. But when I stop I miss it, so I think I'll try again. This time it will not be just my thoughts and such, but maybe also recipes I try and crafts I make. We'll see. I'm still in the "mulling" stage, but felt like a first post today. =) Come along for the roller coaster ride that is my life, or not. Whichever you choose is ok with me. But I won't apologize for who I am.....=)
