Hello Everyone</div>
We are still safe.<br />
What do you say? How do you feel? What do you do? Is there room or time for emotion?<br />
We keep busy with the everyday, Kent is considered an essential employee, he has worked everyday since the stay-at-hone order has been enforced, going back and forth with travel paper in the window of his vehicle.<br />
This morning we awoke to the door of his vehicle ajar, when he opened it someone had been through the center console and glovebox, there was nothing of importance in the vehicle, so if they took anything, it is what it is, but the thing that bothered me the most is, what if that person has <u>Covid-19</u>, they touched everything in the vehicle. I sprayed the vehicle with disinfectant but after we put things back where they were pulled from. Pray for us that we continue to stay healthy.<br />
<br />
I was asked to make some masks in the early stage of the Illinois declared stay at home for some essential workers friends, (grocery store employees), then for a nurse friend, she works in a home for the aging, thank God they haven't had any coronavirus cases there.<br />
I was fortunate enough to find a mask pattern before the mandate began and worked up some with fabric I forgot about, (I gave away all of my fabric bolts and yardage's last summer), who knew I would need to make masks for people the following spring? Anyway, I've made a good number of masks, the pattern from <a href="https://www.craftpassion.com/face-mask-sewing-pattern/" target="_blank">Craft Passion</a>, she has updated the mask since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.<br />
To her and all that she has done to help so many help themselves. Thank you!<br />
<br />
I prefer to tie mine with ribbon and make a pretty bow, but many choose elastic over the ears.<br />

In the meantime, we planned a trip to the 49th state back in February 2020, paid for our flights but held off on the hotels. I worked up a poncho for the flight since it could be chilly on the 8 hour flight. Lets hope we can travel in the fall.</div>

Hibiscus a flower of the 50th state of The United States of America.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There has been many things in life that have made me ask, follow or lead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you really want to know, you just need to know where you stand in your own world. Not in what matters politically, but personally, there once was a time when people knew their boundaries and left it there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can understand the craziness, if you personally could do something, like have all kind of wealth (money) to share with those that have less than you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How about all those complaining about the political warfare at the border sponsor one family for a year. Yes, a year, maybe five years, that would be great, since churches are strapped for funds to sponsor families coming to America.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So many want to complain about the way the government is handling the situation, so help them out with sponsoring a Family. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you have enough money to complain and not be concerned about the economic burden on our future, then please leave a giant inheritance to your children and grandchildren so they can help pay for it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Only know that I am never going to change anything and all the whining, complaining, and crying isn't going to change a thing either.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some are very short sided and can only think about RIGHT NOW, but trust me in a year, maybe five years, it's going to change and there will be something else.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Remember it is the future we are all making different. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Will you be here for that different or will someone you love live through what you are fighting for to make different today? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What you sow today, they will reap in the future.</div>

I do not have the money to sponsor a Family, and my church does not have the money to sponsor a Family, so guess we will all pay higher taxes to sponsor Families.</div>

~ *May Day* ~ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
May 1</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Legend has it:</div>
Traditionally, people believed that witches held Walpurgis Night celebrations on the summit of the <a href="http://www.sacklunch.net/placenames/B/BrockenorBlocksberg.html" target="_blank">Blocksberg</a>, a mountain in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, on the night between April 30 and May 1. <br />
<br />
People believed that it was dangerous to be outside on this night so they lit fires and danced wildly to deter the witches from coming too close to them or their homes. <br />
<br />
These traditions lead to the custom of lighting fires and erecting maypoles still seen today.<br />
<a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/germany/may-day" target="_blank">http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/germany/may-day</a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>MAY DAY</strong></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This day has always held fascination for me, as a child I never knew where my parents family's came from, I mean, the heritage, if they all came from America, I would be a Native American, and that is clearly not the case, for my eyes are blue.</div>
<br />
I remember the day I heard something about one of my parents being Polish, I thought to myself, why are they unhappy with being Polish, or it seemed that way to a child of 7. <br />
Come to find out they may not be Polish at all, the father's parents came from Prussia, so states documents from the late 1800's, one of the father's parents on the same document was stated as being from Germany. Before Poland was even a country. <br />
At the time of their arrival in the United States, Prussia, Russia, Germany and a few other countries were having a problem with what I would call property lines.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div>
Oh, why the family history? May Day has always seemed like a day that should be celebrated.<br />
If you think about it, it's kinda like all the holidays rolled into one.<br />
<br />
The dancing ~ New Years<br />
The candy ~ Valentine and Easter<br />
The flowers ~ Mother's Day<br />
The workers ~ Labor Day<br />
The fire dances to keep witches away ~ Halloween<br />
The leaving of a gift ~ Christmas<br />
<br />
Guess there are a few left out, it will be ok, no worries.<br />
<br />
Just an observation about the day.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy the day.<br />
<br />
til next time,<br />

they grew next to the house in the foundation, like they had been planted a long time ago </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and finally made it to bloom. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I only noticed 1 year of bloom, but it was enough to carry with me the fondness I had for them.</div>

Seed plantings of herbs are still a bit small.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but using planters for herbs of sage, rosemary, & thyme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sage, not to sure, we pulled it in the fall & hung upside down,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
left to hang in the basement, thought I would take the sage for seasoning,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
started working the leaves off the plant & they were still moist,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Took the plant, repotted & watered.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Time will tell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rosemary & Thyme I started as seed, only a couple even sprouted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With all the tribulation in the world I leave you with this.<br />

Today is what I call, "Good Friday", the day my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ was hung on a cross to die for my sins. As many feel set free by the Resurrection of Jesus, they should also remember how he got to the point of being resurrected. The pain he endured.<br />
Today is an important day for me.<br />

Filled the pond, (neighbors are happy). Planted a fairy garden, added some miniatures, a couple on horses, added some solar lights, old aquarium statues, pincushion plants, gladiolus, mini daisies, pink. Even pretty at night.<br />
<br />
We harvested beets today, not bad for the first time but I like turnips. Hope the tomatoes come on before the frost, they are still kind of small. Okra, peppers, potatoes, can't wait til harvest time. <br />
We'll be busy.<br />

Hoping this is the last of the winter snow fall, seems we are making up for the lack of water last summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had over 12 inches of snow, many accidents, roads impassable. Good time to stay home and set seed for the garden.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Can't wait to get in the garden. All the cool weather will make harvest late, now, I find myself hoping we don't get an early frost.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Planted gladiolus in small pots, hope they weren't to dry, we'll see. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Really happy no work with the horrid snow fall, I may have just stayed in the walking distance hotel, close to work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, it's late and time to tuck in.</div>

Would like to get into the yard and get it ready for spring. Hubby announced over the holidays, he's going to fill in the small pond we have outside the back door. Well, the only thing about that is we have a couple of LARGE Koi fish in it. What do we do about the fish? No one wants to buy fish already 3 feet long and weighting about 50 pounds a piece. I don't want to kill them or let them die. I would like for someone to take them and let them live longer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, he wants to fill in the hole and who knows, I asked if we could build a cover to the garage, from the back patio. There's a possibility.</div>
<br />
Just about to set seed for summer garden, I can't wait. I love gardening and being outdoors.<br />
<br />
Now for the health, Dr. appointment today, last one for 6 months if the blood work comes back good. I did lose another 8 pounds. That's good, I hope!<br />
<br />
Our family has lost another, My Brother in law passed last week, just 61, God has a plan for everything.<br />
<br />
Not much of anything to tell,<br />
just,<br />
take care of yourself,<br />
help one another,<br />
do it with a loving heart.<br />
<br />
til next time.<br />

I can still remember Christmas as a child, spending time with family members, Grandma and the big family meals, eating all the shortbread iced cookies. All the cousins gathered around a beautiful tree with fiberglass, (lol) being used as angel hair. Oh, how I miss those days. The way one of the Aunt's couldn't help being so adorable, being goofy with a new knit hat.<br />

Working has it's ups and downs, as much as anything.<br />
I guess, I wasn't quite sure what I want to do.<br />
I really like the job, <br />
I enjoy sporting good, guns, knives, ammunition, fishing, and all that go with it.<br />
I keep getting calls about new work experiences. <br />
Think I'll keep what I have.<br />
<br />
Now for the hurricane, and all my friends on the East Coast, stay safe, warm, and comforted.<br />
Please return, I will keep a candle lite for you.<br />

I would have never thought I would been written up, for asking someone with a baby, in a baby car seat, in a shopping cart, baby clothed, to step in from the sun and heat, while a cashier was trying to find an item, in a sale add for the company. <br />
But I did.<br />
This caretaker was so mad, they said, I was questioning his parenting? Which was not the case, I was only trying to get them out of the hot sun, which was in the face of the baby.<br />
I was told this caretaker plans on contacting the parent company, I hope he does. Then maybe we can get to the bottom of why people are being sent from one area to another, with no purpose or reason. The care taker was looking for an item in the sale add, and they sent him to the garden center, which does not carry that item. So while the cashier was making phone calls to find out, if we even had it, I asked the caretaker to step inside the tent where the cashier was, the caretaker wasn't happy about it. I was concerned about the baby being in the sun, guess I crossed the "Good Customer Service" line. <br />
After I got my DQ burger, I ordered w/o cheese, had cheese. I called to let them know, I wasn't upset but what if a child got the burger and had allergies? I asked the manager, to just ask the grill cook, to pay closer attention to the orders. It's all good. <br />
I didn't have time to go back, I had just got my ass chewed by the company for a caretaker being stupid.<br />
Start to clock back in, the head cashier asks if I'm leaving, I told her, I was returning from lunch, since she was a witness to the write up, maybe she knew something I hadn't been told, so I asked her if I needed to clock back in and she said "NO", I said ok, so do I need to talk to someone about it? She said to talk to the same people that did the chewing, I told them, she said, I didn't need to clock in, one said she was making conversation and the other said, clock in. I told them I didn't have a problem with going home. Clocked in finished shift, didn't see her again, left and went home.<br />
Yea, I hope she got talked to about her, inability to have a good work enviroment?<br />
Other than that, my arms are on fire from the sun and heat.<br />
<br />
Enough of my bad day, if it weren't for our fighting Men and Women, I wouldn't have anything to be grateful for.<br />
<br />
REMEMBER OUR MILITARY, this Memorial Day 2012.<br />
<br />
God Bless America<br />

It really upsets me to think I planted the cranberry bush after letting it set all winter and now weed killer got it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not very happy with Mr. Himself!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh yea, I forgot he had himself a small controlled fire, (to much dried crabgrass, from snakes),</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
the "controlled" fire, burnt up my clematis, no flowers this year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So he's off the spraying for the rest of the year or until my bush comes back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If not, I can see those new roses not making it, speaking of roses, he even got one of them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It wouldn't be so bad it he didn't spray 3 ft away from the weed and let the wind carry the spray to neighboring plants.</div>
<br />
Enough for now.....<br />

We didn't have the winter I had anticipated, it's been a very "warm" winter, hardly any snow, so there isn't any ground moisture for the garden to get a start with. It's going to be a difficult summer, maybe not, we could skip the blistering days of 110* heat and have calm 75* days, I won't mind.</span> <br />

The passing of my Mom in August, the hubby's aunt passing a few days ago. A wreath, just doesn't seem like the right thing to do this year. Instead, I was at Walmart in Hiawatha, Iowa, looking for something comfy to wear on the drive home, (the hubby's family is from Iowa), I found some evergreen sprays, cheap, it's walmart, anyway. I picked up a couple of sprays, 1 for Mom and 1 for Aunt Irene, she was very helpful in my sewing endeavours. I combined the 2 sprays, to make a long spray, use some ribbon I picked up at the Dollar Store, and some ornaments from the anniversary party and this is what I finished with. It is hanging outside the front door as a symbol of my loss this year.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">December 1,</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">A day to be remembered by my family, it is my father's, mother's birthday. The real beginning of the holiday season for me. I even caught myself singing Silver Bells to all that would listen at work this morning. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Go ahead,,,,,,,,,,,,,,; be that happy. Sing as if no one is listening. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Let your heart be light.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Much to do. Even caught myself thinking about cookies, </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">ugh, </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Well it's, "Christmas time in the city". </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Baking has always been a must at the holiday's.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">To start; probably chocolate chip, peanut butter, and oatmeal, maybe some raisins?? not sure.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Check gypsy grandma's goodies for recipes if you like, but give me a minute. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;">We had talked for years about how to keep people from climbing the fence and making themselves at home, or just hiding from the police.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">I had asked when we first moved in, if we could plant climbing roses along the fence. Not wanting the hubby to know this would be my "Security System". Well, after the garage was broken into and things stolen, he was still, "Climbing roses?"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">We had left for a day adventure, to return to find someone had been in the yard again and the backdoor knob was difficult to turn. Plus, the 70 year old neighbor.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Finally, I got my wish, we found some straggly climbing roses at the end of the season, hot as ever, we found them at, Menard's, I think, doesn't matter, I wanted them to match, the hubby watered and tended them, though the hot 2011 summer, we have 2 spots people like to jump the fence. Each spot got a climbing rose. The picture below is the first rose, from this year plant. I can't wait to see it in full bloom next year.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Trust me ladies; </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">get your roses living and enjoying their beauty for years;</span><span style="color: blue;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">instead of a few fleeting days.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Thank you, Handsome, for giving me "Roses forever".</span></div>
