Crazy Woman
Some of you may remember the crazy woman that gave me such grief a couple of years ago.
She has since moved on. Followed her mother to south of Houston. Also has gotten decent care by a decent doctor ( not a pusher like the one she was seeing here who should not be practicing medicine at all) *shaking head* Anyway. When she left she put most of everything she owned into two storage units here. She called my mom and told her that she didn't want anything from the units. So Fred and Ed are cleaning it out. I got all the tile back that we'd given her ... lots of my dad's stuff. paint sprayers. some shelves. All the tile is on the shelves. I am going to re tile the fish pond when I get the leaks plugged up. And put me in a shower up here that is big enough for two.. >:)
My garden is doing really good. I still need to plant some stuff, but I can't get the ground ready by myself. Both sets of our handy men that help us around here are busy doing other stuff. Kevin is out of town. Besides he works really hard. File Clerking is hard work at the VA. Lots of lifting running from one end of the building to the other.
He is pretty tired when he gets home and lets not even talk about his knees.
He is at a war game .. well he's on the way home now. But he had a good time. This is the first one since turning E6. So he gets to be boss sometimes.
Well gotta go.. love and peace out.

Sick
Kevin left to go on a project for the Seabee's Sunday the 24th of Feb. Saturday night one of his best friend's son died. He was a very young man, very. Monday I found out I had diabetes. Had terrible headaches from either the Metformin that I am taking now or because I was coming down with a cold/flu -- I'm still coughing and hacking, with headaches.
Thursday I have a sleep study.. then next Thursday also. I have to get a new Cpap machine but I have to have a new sleep study first.The old machine and sleep study is over five years old, so they make you have a new one.
So yea. Diabetes-- I am cutting down on my sugar and carbs.. Trying really hard, but it is not easy. At the moment I really don't know what I can eat like for snacks. My blood sugar has come down about 40 points already but I still have 100 to go.
Kevin is home now. Yesterday on my birthday. I went to go get him in Waco and went to some nurseries to get tomato plants. I got some of the ones I want, but no eggplant.
We went by the bbq place and got stuff for the family.
yea so Im done

Tell me what I think
I just heard someone say, the majority of Americans do not believe in the war on CNN.
I threw up on my keyboard. Talking heads, Air head.. see the similarity?
Ya know I took statistics. I know how polls are skewed to fit whatever purpose you want. We only see what the media wants us to see. NONE Of them tell the truth. NONE of them has honor or respect for anyone.
I am not talking about whether or not we should be engaged in an action to bring liberty to another country OR if we are there strictly for our own interests. This is not up for debate and I won't respond to any posts about that. I am talking about truth and representing the truth. Journalism should be about reporting the facts-- NOT an agenda, faction or reporters ideals.
They do not speak for the majority of Americans.
One of the truly sad things is that other countries believe the crap that the media spews. The Ugly - Loud - Brash and Stupid American. Jesus! We are NOT as stupid as the media thinks we are. At least I hope that there are enough of us out there who can think for themselves. I remember now why I quit watching the news. So much drivel to get to an inkling of truth or REAL news.
CNN Called the Ohio republican candidate about an hour ago right after the polls closed. WTF So those people in line can just freaking go home and forgedaboudit.
SCREW them. I hate fucking reporters.
Sorry about syntax and grammar but I'm pissed.

New photos of my stuff
One set of Runes in a dark brown clay and only glazed in the engraving. I usually sell Runes and bag for $25 USD. 
Another bag of Runes, this time made with speckled buff which is now the only type clay that I use. These are glazed, which is a first for me.
This is one of my carvings. A grotto with little pools.I have more photos if anyone is interested.
Knitting with plastic grocery bags and mason line. This is actually a small purse I made for my granddaughter, but I think that this type of knitting would be good for door mats.
Socks. I ripped out the other one I was making and re knitted them. Problem right now I am trying to figure out the heel.
Lastly an apple pie I made at Christmas. It was very tasty. I added a little orange juice to it.. mmmmmm

I am spreading myself too thin
So I've decided to just have one blog. Maybe it'll force me to post my artwork and crafts more often.
I'm doing gardening right now.
In the garden I've got rutabagas and Brussel sprouts, onions, garlic, and potatoes. OH and sugar snap peas and blackberry vines.
In the house in seed pots are tomatoes.. lots of different kinds. Mostly heirloom tomatoes. I have eggplant, artichoke plus several kinds of peppers.
I'm hoping to raise enough stuff that I can put a sign out by the highway to sell some of my stuff. Thinking about getting some more chickens too to sell the eggs. Gonna make salsa or pepper sauce out of the surplus and possibly make some fresh motzerella (sp) cheese if I can find someone to provide me with the milk. It is very difficult for me, but then I've only done it three or four times. It doesn't keep too long, but I'm willing to try.
Been knitting and trying to draw. I have this idea for a painting..had it for years.. but it's very involved so I'm procrastinating.
The kids have started to nursing school. They say they are doing fine. It is going to be a really long road for them. But it's a good way to make a living and there is always a need for nurses.
