Litchfield the man of many faces

In that big red velvet photo album marked "Souvinir" is a photo with the words.
Litchfield, the man of many faces. Gotta wonder. Was he a traveling entertainer that left his photo card, like stars today leave autographs? No Idea, if you do, let me kno

Photos

We're heading for Utah Thursday to take J & A some things from mom's estate and furniture from her folks home. We're first stopping at DUP and handing off the photo album I grabbed from Mom's house so that DUP can work their magic and get some of these folks identified. It's going to be thrilling to connect with some more ancestors if those photos really are who they say they are. Got some weird one's I'm going to post individually so they can be looked at by people who are on-line and have a bit of information on them.

Seems like forever since I posted. Another day I'll catch up, not today.

End of January

Just one month, already?
Lost my job, can't say I'm surprised. If Essco is in business in 2 years I'll be even more surprised. They actually did me a favor, now I don't have to help them clean up like I did Jonas Bros. Now what. Need more computer skills, getting more computer skills, cleaning house, painting living room. Beethoven has a new coat of paint and a new lampshade, it's only been 35 years or more. I have a magnetic wall. New magnetic paint makes it real easy to put up new photos, can change it anytime I want. Almost got Toothless done, have spent more time taking it apart. Lousy instructions, going to make some strong suggestions to the creator. My sewing students would shoot me it I was that vague. Wally has new job, I'm super pleased, mostly because he won't be driving 60 miles each day. Lo & kiddos safe in Florida, enjoy guys, throw a rock in the ocean for me. Trying to figure out if/when to go to LA. DON'T really want to at all. Month after the accident and still sore, weird. Need to lose weight, 18 years of sitting is coming back to haunt. Need to move. Am going to move.

Many tined fork in the road

If Electric Sweeper Service is still in business in two years, I'll really be surprised. I'm actually releaved to be shed of them. I should have been job hunting this past year. Amazing how comfortable we can thing we are even when the bed we lie in is full of rocks and pricks. Got a phone call from one of my favorite dealers, I gotta take a trip to Lawrence Kansas and thank this man. He hunted me down on the internet to let me know just how upset he was. Thanks Steve. P.Sawhill got a new 6 head embroidery machine. Wants me to help her learn how to use it...or does she want me to work for her??? Thinking about going to Emily Griffiths to learn medical billing or transcription and make more money. Will take a year, but hey if I can get unemployment for that long, why not. Spend a year squeezing every penny to be able to kick up my value in the market? Not a bad thought. Wanna spend much time on the HD. MUST learn Cannon in D, yes, go ahead and groan with me. Put myself on the market for weddings and funeral and garden parties. AM GOING to get the C.D. done this year. CA is making me crazy. Nothing legal going on down there and don't want to be the one to haul in the law, but maybe I'll have to. Started at looking how to make a will. Not hard, you just got to be precise. Almost got Mari-Posie done. She's Twigs, 2nd cousin? Mariposa is Spanish for butterfly. Hope to finish her this week and start on Toothless. Doll making is fun. It's cold and snowing, nice to day to think, pray and meditate. Wish I could get a strong answer on which tine to travel. Maybe just too soon.

time to review

Last day of the year, time for a review. I'm a survivor, I've been married 35 wonderful years to a truly wonderful man, Seen two new fabulous grandbabies born, and lost my mother. Maybe the Sharp's too. Had a daughter surprise me with an act of love that leaves me in awe of her. Had my home broken into, lost both guitars, two computers. Flipped a Blazer in the snow and drove another day in the snow with nothing more than some rattled nerves. Poured not nearly enough concrete. Had a good garden, lovely roses dispite a wicked hail storm. Learned several new pieces on the hammered dulcimer. Got to play at White Fence Farm 3 times. Went to the Manito Spring music festival. Made a Twig doll for one grand daughter, made a dress for another. Knitted a vest and hat for a grandson. Only went gold panning once. Need to do that more often. Didn't see my kids near enough. Didn't sew enough, didn't lose enough weight. Didn't move enough, didn't go to the temple often enough. It's all past.

Life is looking up

Found Robert a new ride. Blazer LT with all the trimmings, it cost less than the payment from the insurance so financually we in a better place, now it all paperwork. We're both healing, have decided we're not doing enough to help us heal, we've got the tools, didn't take the time. NUF, take the time, tired of hurting. At least I can furrow my brow without it hurting, still can't "noggin" with Kim. .. Robert only has to be in the boot for 4 to 6 weeks instead of the 12 the trama Dr wanted him in. This too shall pass. Not surprised how little I remember of Mom's funeral. Actually that whole week is a blur. Thanks to all for all your help getting us around. Feel like I'm waking out of a bad nights sleep. Played HD at the Senior center. Need to do more, it's healing for my soul. Need more of that too.
Only two more weeks of lazy Sunday Mornings, shall miss them.
Love you all

Whoo Wee what a time frame to not remember, and remember. House broken into Wednesday, stole my computers, guitars and Ly's expensive camera. Found replacement computers, later
