I don't get it!

DSH came home today and said my blog is hard to read.  I pulled my blog up on my computer and said, "No, it's not!"  He pulled my blog up on his computer and said, "Yes, it is!"   I took a look and sure enough he is right.  My blog looks like CR*P on his computer!  The background is the wrong size, all the shapes are wrong.  The words are hard to read.  Very strange.  Why does it come up looking fine on my computer but horrible on his?  The new background and set up was done over a year ago by my oldest on her computer.  Any ideas anyone?

DSH to the rescue!

Dear Sweet Husband to the rescue with photos off of his phone.
 Filled barrels.


 One of two blueberry bushes.

Basil and thyme.

Wedding anniversary


Tomorrow is my oldest daughter's wedding anniversary.  Happy Anniversary!

Next week is my youngest daughter's anniversary but I don't have any of her pictures on my computer because she was married before I was saving them on the computer.  I will have to look for her disc of photos and see if I can have DSSD download them for me.

On another topic of discussion, the garden is doing very well.  We cut wine barrels in half, drilled drainage holes in the bottom, filled them with soil with some rock in the bottom and there you go, raised planters!  I have potatoes, cucumbers, peppers, basil, thyme, two blueberry bushes  and onions in the barrels.  I have tomatoes and zucchini and squash planted in the old garden.  The apples, apricots, boysenberries and nectarines are doing well too!  This is obviously before the plants are in.  I'll have to get my camera out and start taking pictures again.

Making herself at home

Really, Blogger, I have to do a separate post for every picture?  (or am I just lame?)

 Relaxing after a Thanksgiving feast!

The sweetest pit ever

This is Kani.  She is my cousin's pit bull.  She is kind of a rescue dog.  He got her from his neighbor who wasn't the best care taker.  This girl is such a love bug!  She came to visit at Thanksgiving.  I would post more pictures of her but I am having the most frustrating time with Blogger and photos.  Fighting the computer to post a picture takes all the fun out of blogging.

Aprons at the Soccer Game

Last Saturday we went to oldest granddaughter's soccer game.  It was so fun watching all the little ones running around after the soccer ball and all trying to kick it at the same time.  The other team *won* the game and everyone had a great time.  I gave the girls their new aprons that were requested by oldest granddaughter.  She wanted a full apron.  The girls sent me lovely thank you notes.  I called the girls after receiving their notes.  It was their first phone calls where someone called specifically to talk to them.  So fun!

For The Record

I am NOT the 99%, nor am I a millionaire nor billionaire.  I am the 53%.  I work and I have earned my own way.  I worked to pay for my education.  And, I pay my taxes.  I am saving for my future.  I am not counting on social security being there for me.  I plan on working until I die or can't work any longer.  As far as I know, the Bible says nothing about retirement.

Personal responsibility people, it's the only way.
