My wild summer ideas

I love summers , who doesn't, so we are driving down the road and i remember when i got my first digital camera. Taking massive photos all snap shots . When i think out loud to hubby. We should take this drive again when its green and full of flowers, and when we do i will record it with my video cam then in the winter when we want to get out we can watch it on TV. I think he thinks i flipped . But I am sure going to do this. Lol

Is it spring yet ?

I tell you, going south last month was pure heaven, it was a 5 day trip that had us making a fast round of hugs, good times well spent, that i sat and quickly put to a scrap book journal . It's tee shirt weather were my son is, i came home to snow.
Back to my old grind of wondering around waiting for spring.

I hear tell from my niece in face book it's finally hit. She took her kids out the road to the beach. So i am going to get up grab the dog and go walking today .
During the last 7 years we lost both our cocker spaniels, from old age, and our cat too, before the black one passed we got this tiny dog a rat terrier, hubby gave her to me as a valentines gift, and i swear the black spent time telling her just how to take care of us both. Because it didn't take long before she became hubby's dog, but she's good to us both and i don't mind her choosing him as her most prized position lol silly dog. Am starts with her saying morning to us both. The cockers would glue themselves to hubby except for walks. Not Matty, she's all over us both except for nap times, and if course we have a new cat, this one wont have a thing to do with out doors. But she's a mouser for sure. So that's good. And Marty's best friend of course.lol
Matty was supposed to be my dog. Period. Good luck they always choose one in a family they gravitate to more. It was her choice. Hubby was pretty sick during that time and Matty was a comfort to him. He asked since evie had passed away if it was ok if Matty just stayed with him more often. Ok no problem. And poof she made her choice. Surgery , he's up he's new as can be off to the races and matty stays by his side constantly , which is ok . He was recently diagnosed with cancer, but the caught it in time, another surgery and things will be fine, she's glued to him and its been a blessing . Keeps him busy , etc etc.
Anyway, she don't pull me around while walking, which the family was concerned about in a bigger dog. And again she was a some what rescue dog, her original owner couldn't keep her. Rather then send her to the pound thank god they returned her to her breeders who put her back up for sale at a lower price we could afford. So in walks hubby with this tiny puppy under his coat. And says happy valentines day. That was three yrs. ago.
Matty and i walk slot together heck she goes everywhere with us baring the weather
Anyway, this am i go to face book. And my grand daughter in law posts a simple who taught my daughter this song? It's so cute. I post back its the song i set to my alarm goes off three times a day to remind me got 15 mins to get out the door and walk. Lol it's the thrift shop song.
That goes off even Matty says time to move ma lol .
I was amazed that Delilah remembered ggs theme song, that made my day.
But what will make it more well be time to walk that dog

From pc to?

What's changed in my life since i began this blog. a ton.
i am thinking like 3 yrs. ago getting my first kindle, i thought it was awesome and i still do.
the next Christmas i got the kindle fire.they entered my life just in time as i had lost a ton of my library several years back and had taken what was left and put them into snap tubs. to keep them safe.
with the entrance of the kindle my book buying changed totally. now as far as magazines and books go if its not at amazon on kindle or digital in anyway its no longer entering my house.
love my kindle books i can tuck my ever growing library into my purse and take it anywhere.
this last Christmas ii asked for the iPad mini ,and got not just that but a new desk top.

the addition of the iPad min really opened up allot more things .as far as how where and what i use too do any off my work reading or what ever i used to do on a pc. ii can do it all on my iPad anywhere in the house.
my library has a good variety of reading and into 200 books. knitting,quilting,cooking,magazine..
i also have at my fingertips a huge variety of awesome apps to use .with the addition of them my iPad can do anything my pc did, i say that because my new pc came with windows 8 which is useless without a touch screen , most of the apps they have are useless so far doing next to nothing you need them to do. p,us at the moment there are so few out there.the ones you want cost way to much for an app or are chopped up and sold at high costs bring you tab on those to the same price the old pc programs where that you bought on cds yrs back. or the programs that came with your pc just yrs ago like 3 are no longer available to you unless you buy the program for way to much. its clearly a want to be ipad in pc form. But with the entrance of the tablets be they iPads which are the best, or nooks or kindle fires, its dam clear the old desk tops will soon find their way to the heap of who wants that around. Or become the new mini home servers. Tower only . Stored out of site to be accessed through our ever growing in powerful tablets.
Personally i spend less time with the new pc doing anything but playing world of war craft then anything else. And believe me even those big on line games better start moving into the app world before the hit the pile of omg really who needs that ? Get the app. The app games need some serious work on controls though. And you can access your desk top and play but like i said the controls are still pretty bad for moving around in a game.
All in all my whole world changed with the entrance of kindle fir and the ipad mini. I have a ton more space in my craft room. No more stacks and stacks of magazines laying around. And the shelves of books has dwindled to only the books i really want to keep that are not out on kindle yet. And I love it . Totally a big time clutter breaker in this house. Even in the way i buy my movies. The DVDs collection has begun to dwindle as i buy my movies through iTunes. Lol

7 yrs later

Omg its been 7 years since i last blogged anything. And I dare say alot has happened. That i won't go into. Lets stay in the present . In this past week i have seen it all weather wise here in Juneau. Open the door one day and poof its raining so hard you can't see across the street. Open it again, its sun shining. Open it one more time its hailing. Sigh close the door! Get brave try again...... 4 inches of snow. Give up and go anyway. Doing what you might say? Why yard sailing of course. After breakfast out.  Now you would think that no one would hold a yard sale in this weather. Let alone venture out and actually yard sale lol. Nope there were tons of yard sales and tons of people out looking for them. That's it for sure diehard Alaskans out in any. Weather yard sailing .
