Another almost finished project
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 31, 2008
Headed to Enchanted Yarn and Fiber today for help on taking the Mach 1 (AKA Nola) apart to put tung oil all over her! LOL Yes, tung not tongue!
After much discussion, and finding out that if I, we, etc. take it apart, there’s a chance of not getting it back together with the precision that [...]
Trying to reach a dead person on the phone
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 30, 2008
Just spoke with a friend from Texas and I feel the need to blog about this. I hope you find it as humorous as I do!
A friends’ mother passed away 3 mos. ago. This mother was living with her daughter until her death. Last week a male called and asked to speak to her mother. [...]
I bought a new driver
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 30, 2008
I have “test driven” a driver from the pro shop the last two times I’ve played golf. I have fallen in love with the Adams driver!
So today at the turn, I went into the pro shop and asked the pro, John, what his rock bottom price was. He asked me if it had a price [...]
Trying to go Green
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 26, 2008
Yes, I am trying to do my share of saving the earth. Since I already had the yarn, I decided to make a “green” bag for shopping – you know the kind of bags that stretch and have holes in them.
After starting this bag 4 times, and I will share with you that the air [...]
OMG – my golf game is finally coming together….yippee!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 25, 2008
Yesterday, when playing golf I played the front nine pretty good for me. Then my new golf shoes started to hurt my feet. Luckily, I had another pair in the cart because I thought this would happen. After changing to these shoes, I realized I had on a “thin” pair of golf socks that made [...]

Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 23, 2008
A friend sent me 10 reasons why you should buy new fabric. Every one makes sense and I felt the need to share this with my readers. Feel free to comment and also to add more reasons! I think #5 is my favorite one!
Just in case you need a “New” reason for buying fabric:
1. It keeps [...]

I am so proud of Velma! Took her to another check-up and she was bemoaning the fact that she didn’t think she had lost any weight at all. Tried to assure that she may have hit a plateau and it wll soon be “falling” off.
When she came in to the waiting room, she was skipping [...]

I cannot believe I’m going to write about politics which, I’m sure, will invoke all kinds of criticism. But I’m entitled to my opinion as every one else is….
As I sit here pecking away, thinking about the first time I’ve ever seen a political person campaigning…it was extremely enlightening. I liked the message [...]
The “time” has come…..
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 17, 2008
Crap! Crap! Crap! I cannot read time on a small watch anymore! Yes, I have bifocals and they aren’t helping.
So the next watch I buy is going to have to have a little bit bigger face – I can probably do without the numbers because I still have enough mind left to remember the 12-3-6-9 [...]

However, I feel it needs a name. I’m leaning towards Lola or maybe Lulu; as soon as I get the tung oil on it and get it all spiffy, I’ll share a picture of it with you. Oh, and I think I’ll add a few dog prints somewhere on it.
Feel free to offer other name [...]

- Ah….life in the fast lane November 10, 2009At least that’s how I like to think of it! Things have been testy around the house since the bionic man got a new knee. Seems like we’ve had lots of repairmen, which ultimately leads to lots of barking. Derby, our found on the streets of Nashville dog, absolutely cannot help himself when it comes to [...]keepingyouinstitches
- A new and colorful knee! October 24, 2009Tuesday (and this is Saturday) Mark got a new knee; it’s getting more and more colorful! Came home Thursday and trotted him off to rehab on Friday morning. Coloring goes pretty much around the whole knee….wowee! Or maybe I should say owie! Staples come out Nov. 3 and yes, there will be documentation of that too; most [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Very technologically challenged….oh yes, I am October 18, 2009For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was receiving voice mails on my cell phone when it was sitting right next to me! This has been going on for about a week now. Lo and behold, there’s a tiny button on the side of the iphone that if it gets moved, mutes [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Hubby getting new knee………finally! October 17, 2009OK, readers, it’s Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is new knee day for hubby. He’s already commented a couple of times what a long week-end this will be; add the cold, crappy weather that is predicted, and it will be even longer. I’m trying to play cruise director in making plans that will keep him busy. So [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Generic vs. generic drugs October 13, 2009I’m so fortunate to have health insurance…..some would call it good health insurance. However, today I received a letter from the insurance company stating that the drug I take for acid reflux is now going to be re-classified and will have a high cost…oh, wait, “cost may increase” are the actual words. How absolutely dumb do [. […]keepingyouinstitches
