Thinking Back!

Me on my 175 Yamaha I had a dream last night and I was riding my dirt bike. Great dream! I am too old to do it anymore so the only time I get the thrill of riding is when I have a dream. And I dream about riding a lot. Either my dirt bike or my road bike. But last night's dream I was dirt biking. Climbing the coal piles at Cle Elum, WA. We used to camp there every summer holiday with my family and friends. We rode the trails and the hills all day long and sat around a huge campfire, drinking wine, roasting moose meat sausages from a moose my husband had gotten in Canada, marshmellows and telling tall tales about the trails we had ridden that day. It was great! When our youngest son had his first dirt bike (he was about 10), he and a friend his age put 300 miles on their bikes the first day! They came in to gas up, and gone again.  The reason we would go to Cle Elum was because it is on the east side of the mountains and is really nice weather almost every day in the s...

Birthday Month!

Spring Garden Serenity https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/spring-garden-serenity-madonna/ February seems to be the month for lots of birthdays in our family. Grandson, great grandson, sister, mine and of course the Presidents are all in Feb. I make our family calender with lots of graphics and picture of the birthday person on their birthday date (along with their age, because at my age, I can't remember!) But February calender looks very busy!  I am working on some spring designs now, such as the one I highlighted today. I have tried to figure out what happened to my blog to the pretty background, but haven't  figured it out and doubt if I will be able to. I worked on it for hours and something got changed and I didn't change it.  At least I got the backround red for this month. We went after another load of firewood yesterday and when I got up this morning my knee didn't want to bend. It is getting better as the day goes on, so am than...

Blog Gone Crazy!

Hi, all. I don't know what happened to my blog but for some reason the background is missing. Just plain now. I will try to figure out what is happening but in the meantime, I am sorry about it!  As if I needed more to do. We have been going up to the mountains getting firewood every nice afternoon and that is hard work for us elders! In the meantime, have a nice Valentine and let your love shine!

February Update

Beautiful Rainforest Butterfly by MaDonna https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/beautiful-rainforest-butterfly/ You may have noticed that I have started adding "by MaDonna" on my themes. The reason for my doing that is I am running out of titles that will be accepted. You can't have a theme with the exact same title or it won't be accepted. So rather than try adding dots, underscores, etc. to a title I decided to just add by MaDonna. It is not an ego thing! We have been really busy lately for some reason. While everyone back east was having horrible snow storms we were having early spring weather so we decided to go up in the mountains and get some fire wood. We used to be able to get 2 or 3 loads a day but since my dear hubby is 79 we can only get 1 load a day. And the last load, he waited till the next day to unload it. We have found out since we have gotten older and neither one of us have a lot of insulation on our body we need more heat to k...
