Well, I guess it's that time again, although it shall be brief. :) What have I been busy with? Most things spring. Need to get the gears going for spring cleaning. Already did the yard, but the nooks, crannies, and windows leave much to be desired. After that I'll need to turn my mind to the garden. Wanting to try this out this year, so..we'll see how that goes. Tam is coming at the end of this month (yaay!) and after a few days in Edmonton she'll come for a visit here and then come with me to house/dogsit for Auntie Debbie for a couple weeks. We're going to use the opportunity to visit some of our relative, and in the rest of the time allotted we'll sew, sew, sew. So that should be splendid. :) Trying various new things with the sewing, I'm not sure where I'm going to direct my next efforts, but I'm sure I'll figure it out as I go.

Yeah, brief. :D

Here's a video of Geneva I forgot to post the other week, although as a matter of fact it's a couple months old.

This can't be that comfortable, yet we find her sleeping like that all the time, haha.

Just had to laugh. :)

"Hain endorses Hillary for president" Kinda funny, when I read the title of this article on Sermon Audio my mind's eye saw "Hain endorses Hitler for president" (I'm pretty sure too much computer use does something to a person :)). I Started to think to myself, "who is Hain, and what do his reminiscing have to do with the price of tea in China, or the presidency?", and "president for where, over who??" "Hitler would have been great as the president of the United States or somewhere, yeah just what America needs". At any rate, when none of this made sense I reread the title.."oohhh, Hillary, gottcha" but I guess she's just about as much what the US needs has Hitler would have been..

As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

Been working on Tam and my Scarlet Stitch website this last week. Manda took pictures of our new boys stuff, so that called for an addition to the site which ended up being almost a complete overhaul on it, and every time I thought I was just about done there were more things to tweaked, change, or rearrange. But I think I can now..almost safely say I'm done. In other news I was having a lot of problems with Sitebuilder, or I thought it was Sitebuilder's fault. I would publish my site, everything would be looking right, and then I would come back and check, or republish and random texts would be missing. It could be a missing half a paragraph, a title, or clothing care instructions. It would garble some, and it seemed nothing was safe but the imagines and navigation bars. Following my first reaction, of thinking I must have deleted whatever by accident, the occasions multiplied until I knew it wasn't me unless I was losing my mind, and deleting things in my sleep. After replacing, and replacing, I figured I should call Yahoo before the problem was the cause of my mind loss, rather than caused by it. So I called them twice, the first suggestions fixed naughta, but the second time the lady suggested the cause may be my firewall, as it appeared to her to be rearranging the pages. I repaired, and republished with it off..so we'll see. Next step, the sling page..but I'm going to put that off for later as I'd like to take a sanity break from the computer and do some sewing instead. When I need a sanity break from my sewing machine, I know what my next computer project will be.

Well, there's a little update, and now that I'm done lunch it's off to my space heater heated room (this basement is always freezing. :D ).

2Co 1:3-4 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; (4) Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Well, what do you know? I thought I had posted all of the pictures I hijacked from Auntie Debbie (scanned, didn't really steal them), but low-and-behold I missed a bunch, oops. While I'm at it, a happy birthday to my cousin Clint who is..old, haha. How old you ask? Well, I admit, my memory isn't as good as it use to be, and it never was that good. I'm thinking he's 18..don't hurt me if I'm wrong. And if you feel insulted, just think, I half the time I can't even remember how old I am. :D

At any rate, have a good one,

Dor and I who loved to flip bikes upside down to spin the wheels, second best thing to ridding them, which we didn't master for a couple more years.

My dad, me, Manda, and my Uncle Tim, this was taken at the time of my Auntie Debbie's wedding. I remember not liking the fact one bit that she was getting married. I felt an injustice that some guy had the nerve of stealing my aunt from me. :)

Clearly Doralynne, can see a lot of Amos in this picture imo. :)
