MaDonna's Firefox Themes

I am so excited about getting to see our oldest great grandson play football tomorrow. It sounds like it is going to be pouring rain but I have rainpants, coat and umbrella all ready to go and sprayed my boots with water repellent! So this great grandma is ready for some football.  I know the forest really need the rain so I will suffer through it and hope the fires will get under control. My Hawks haven't been doing very well this year so that has been a disappointment but they will get better. I have been busy sorting files this week. I have a bunch of my themes in a OneDrive folder and I deleted it! So had to figure out a way to get them back. I went to OD's recycle bin and restored them all. BUT that restored all the ones I had submitted and removed from OD. So I had over 750 files I had to go through and see which ones I had submitted already. What made it difficult and time consuming was the fact I had changed some of the titles when I submitted them. Took ...

My husband put our flag at half mast this past week for the firefighters we lost in the forest fires in WA. The fires are so bad and so dangerous for all the men and women that are trying their best to save the forests and homes of people that live in those communities. It has brought back a lot of memories for me and my husband. And I can tell he wishes he could be there. He even said to me that he could volunteer to sharpen tools, etc. And he could do it, but at his age, I doubt they would let him. Over the past few days he has talked about a lot of the fires he was on. The kids can remember how he smelled when he got back from a fire. He smelled like a camp fire but a hundred times more. Back then, there weren't support people to wash their clothes, showers or food stations. They wore the clothes they took with them and ate K rations a lot of the time. Or food that could be dropped in by planes. My brother and his wife worked for the past 10 years pulling a portable show...

Light in the Night https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/light-in-the-night-by-madonna/ Still a beautiful summer in NW Washington. I know it is dry and we need rain but my body says NO! I can imagine how tired the firefighters must be and how tired their wives must be. I know, my husband fought forest fires for many years in the USFS and was on a Firefighting team. I remember how tired I got keeping everything up at home with 3 little ones to take care of, canning to do, etc. I hate it that we are losing so many acres of forest because that is one of my favorite places to be. I think I have mentioned before that my husband and I like to read books on our e-readers. I read books on the Nexus 7 that I won from Brand Thunder. Well, I have a new favorite author. Jessica James. The first book of hers I read was last month. It was called Shades of Gray. (And no it is nothing like 50 shades of gray, which I haven't read!) As you know I have been a Civil War buff for ...

Today my Mom would have been 99 had she lived. I am missing her more today than usual, but I know she is with my Dad and happy. Not sick anymore, either. My grandmother gave me an album when I was 7 with pictures of my Mom, mostly of her childhood. This is a photo of my Mom on her way to church. I found this poem on line and shared it with my brother and sister today.   ***************  God Took Her To His Loving Home God saw her getting tired, a cure was not to be. He wrapped her in his loving arms and whispered ‘Come with me.’ She suffered much in silence, her spirit did not bend. She faced her pain with courage, until the very end. She tried so hard to stay with us but her fight was not in vain, God took her to His loving home and freed her from the pain.  ********** I don't know who the author was but is sounds they like went through what we went through with Mom.   Cross of Lights  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...

 I don't think amongst us is a word but I liked it. Have been real busy again this week. I love working with the old cottages among the trees and streams. Cottage by the River https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cottage-by-the-river/ This is one I added this week. It is kind of funny because as soon as I put this one on, another designer started adding the same type. I added a fisherman design and he started adding fishing designs.. Heavenly Fishing https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/heavenly-fishing-by-madonna/ I have had a problem with another designer that actually changed her pseudanym a month or so ago. She is the one that sent me that awful threathening letter that I think is still posted somewhere on my blog. Anyway she made a bunch of enemies because she kept finding faults with their designs. So she closed that account and opened another one with a smokey type name. Oh, no, I just gave a hint! She uses my wallpapers for her d...
