Hammered Dulcimer YeeP

Have a young friend, plays violin, told him about White Fence Farm and their bluegrass jams. He asked for a ride. When we got there they had the "Guitars and Stuff" home open for the first time that we're been there. I walked in a lot my breath. Old Martins and Gibson guitars. Zithers, Balankas, Auds, everything stringed, except a Hammered Dulcimer and I said so. The guy behind the counter says, I tried one but couldn't play it, so I sold it. I asked, do you want me to teach you? You play? I do, Would you like to play here? I would, So begins the e-mail conversations. They have a lovely grape arbour off the side of the little old house, (well it's not that old, just looks it. it wasn't there 2 years ago.) I'll be there the 14th, yee haw.
Making slow progress on the concrete work around the garage. Wow the weather's been hot. The garden and the weeds are taking off like crazy. Anyone want zucinni?

many good things

Many good things. R is now NICET 4, many years of waiting,yeah!! My eee is back and healthy with no charge, nice to have this little guy back. Got my big laptop back. New fan, in old heatsink, plus 2 more G and my golly skype is faster and cleaner. Nice to be back up and connected. Gardens well on it's way and full of weeds, anyone know an herbal person willing to trade herbs for pulling weeds? Taking a break from music theory. Until I can KNOW the chords, no reason to move on. Want to go camping, van leaks. New georgeous grand girl. Almost got her dress done, then I start bonnett & shoes. enjoying first berries, too bad the fruit got hail beat, no apples this year. can't be all good nues

FINALLY IT'S DONE

Took the last pill Friday morning. NOW I feel like a suvivor. Now I just have to get the poison our of my system so I can get a full nights sleep without drugs and hot flashes. NOW maybe I can get this weight gone. Time to put it behind me. Now, time to lose some weight.

COLD

Mother's day 2010 WHAT IS WITH THIS COLD WEATHER??? I can't get my garden started, it's snowed Thursday, I feel like I should get back into my long handles. Global weirding. oh ,yea!
Got a wonderful card for the Utah L's the kids picked it themselves and that mean more to me than I can say. 8 more day. See Dr Lee the 17th, feel like I'm holding my breath. I have to have him check ALL of me. To many weird pains here and there and paranoia is nasty. I want to die an OLD OLD lady. Music theory may be beyond me, I'm floundering and not liking it at all. I think I need to hear more than see more. I want to feel a warm sun on my face. May is to late to be this cold. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I'm Freaked Out

Co-worker asks me to come help her get out of a part of the office program, I walk over and see CR I tell her "Just hit enter" (why didn't she try that before calling me over?) I walk away twitching, am I more freaked that I know CR means "carriage return" (anyone remember typewriters?" or because the program my company is using uses for enter? Twitch!!!!

Whaaaaa

My eee crashed, or got a virus, but it's useless and we may have to send it to the manufacture. I really miss it. R's tumors in his bladder are just going to have to stay put for awhile. Cannot believe the greed economy going on. Dr's office calls tells us we have to give him the $750 dedectible before he'll do the surgery. Hospital calls they want the $750. Hey wait a minute, are we concerned about the patients health or the Dr's pocket book. Turns out the Drs retiring and wants one last pocket lining. Up your's doc. R's company just had a open enrolment for Kaiser. Guess who joined. Lo's new bb is a dolly. Just 6lbs, I don't worry, she makes cream. He'll grow. Easter was a bust. We figured Lo be having bb, R'd be recovering so we didn't plan anything and everybody else had other places to go. At least is was a good strawberry/rubarb pie. Stressco's getting weird. They laid off Dolores Monday, I'm not unhappy, she didn't like the job and made sure other people knew. Jeannie R QUIT!!?? We'll I'm not surprised. I could hear it in her voice 2 weeks ago and told folks she was going to be going, didn't expect her to quit and go bar tending at a biker bar, but that's what she wants to do. Wish her well.
Got a fasinating call from the CFO, I think he was feeling me out as to weither I was going to be the next one gone. He told me he valued my abilities and wanted to let me know. I should have told him"raise not praise" Ah, well, nice to know you're apprecited by the boss if not by your co-workers. Going to the gym more often, feels good. Need to get a photo party under way. R got his NICET 3 certificate. YEAAAAAAA! finally!! NICET 4 is just some paperwork away. TAXES, yech. Gotta figure out why we're not having enuf withdrawn. We keep having to pay, and heavy. I don't do well on 4 hours sleep. The waterbed heater got disconnected and we ended up on the air mattress Friday night. Made a lousy Saturday. Have 4 quilts done. Wish I had the money to make more. Ah well as I labeld this WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

March

Found out last week R's got 3 more tumors in his bladder. Don't know if their new or were so small the Dr missed them. Going to try some herbal fightn back Surgery March30, taking several days off. Had to reschedule. Stressco got folks at the VDTA the week before . Stressso, what a joke. I'd be embarresed to train others that bad. No one has any idea why you use that function key or use those letters, you just do. No logic or reason, anyone got a worm?? Got so fustrated melted down. Weather's georgerous right now, what to go plant garden, wait this is Colorado and March, it's an illusion. April's coming. Almost ready to bring down the quilting machine. Going to use it while R's in recovery. Found a music theory teacher, finally, no we just have to find time to get together. Tron!!!! Gotta wait to December to see it?? AAARGG! Guess we won't have a photo party until after L1's baby pops. Just no time with this surgery, feel defeated by the new, my husband has cancer. Going to concentrate loosing weight and getting back to gym.
