Project 365 – Week 5

Image
Joining Sara for this weeks addition of Project 365, y’all go over and check out all the other folks who are joining in this week. I’m a bit late to the party today. The much needed upgrade to the o’l laptop has been completed and I am almost done reloading software. But I have gotten most of the necessary things reloaded. So on with 365!!!! Sunday, January 24 Sunday morning was the annual Youth Pancake Breakfast. They are always a bit on the cold side, but then it’s really hard to do pancakes for a large crowd and keep them piping hot of the griddle. They were tasty and the money goes to support the youth activities. Monday, January 25 Just a little glimpse into my glassware. It is amazing how sometimes the simplest thing can catch your eye. Tuesday, January 26 My little sweetie came for a visit. She was a busy girl with my crochet basket The television was fun.   And she got a bit confused…why would I want the pink teething ring when I can...

Going Off-Line

I will be out of pocket for a bit YIKES, THIS WILL REQUIRE LOTS OF DEEP BREATHING . My laptop will be getting a much needed upgrade in hardware, and can I say that I am very excited about this. The old laptop memory was taxed to the limit and has been gasping for breath trying to keep up. After my shinny new hard drive is installed I will have to reload software and all the various drivers bla bla bla bla… So in the words of the Terminator “I’ll be back!” to blogging and popping over to all my fav blogs when I’m done.

Anticipation VS Immediate Gratification

Image
The focus of the last Random Dozen was about our approach to anticipation. I am  sure there is some literary term describing the experience of writing about something and then finding yourself experiencing what you have just written about but I don’t know what it is or if there is even such a thing. I did think it out of the ordinary that on Wednesday we all spent time reflecting about anticipation and this was also the day that one of my more time consuming prayer shawl project was completed and then turned in. When I began to think about it I realized that sometimes my approach to anticipation greatly depends on what I am anticipating, or how long I actually have to anticipate the end result and how gratifying the actual anticipating is. Did that make any sense???? Back in September, the 16th to be exact I finished one prayer shawl and then I began working on a new one. This is not unusual but what I have learned over the various projects I have completed is the time it...

I Won…You Win…continues

NOW is the time, no anticipation here (for those of us who have made the rounds for  Random Dozen this week, you will know what I mean) STOP what your doing right now and go over and give Joyce a visit. She is the next leg of I Won…You Win . Let the games begin, I can’t wait to see who will win next!!   Good Luck y’all! Robin

With the chill of winter upon us and since this post has been wandering around in my draft folder for what seems like forever I decide to shed a little summer sunshine into the dreary dull drums of late January. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…du du…du du…dudududu More pictures of my garden. However when I look at where this all started I notice that March is only a few shot weeks away and then it all starts again. My how times flies when you having fun. So if you are so inclined to take this trip down my garden memory lane well here it is in all its’ semi-glory!!
