This and That...

Once again, I am spinning wheels.. wanting to do more

than I can.. this time physically as well as weather wise.

Went out  Wednesday to do some transferring of compost

from one section to another..  Get the new stuff off of the

old stuff.   We have been adding to it since last summer.

And the old stuff is really rich.. 

Only trouble with that is... in order to dig in with the fork,

I have to use my right foot, which is attached to the right

knee that I injured last Wednesday. Bad enough to do

a dang good job of imitating Chester from Gunsmoke.

But I was able to do a lot of lifting instead of shoveling.

The sunshine felt so good, so got some weeding done.

But then I went into the house as it got colder.. and

got a box out that I started last fall, and put away for

the holidays.   Spend two hours trying to figure out

how to run the little machine.. Trying all the buttons,

and etc.. after an hour, looked for the booklet. That

took another hour.  But I got 5 different places cleaned

out and straighten out, just trying to find the dang

booklet.  I was about to give up.. as I look at a place

I knew I saw it last and looked at 3 times in the past

hour.. and bingo ...there is a card on the floor and

under that card.. THE BOOKLET... Thank you God.

Then I spent 2 more hours, running very old negatives

thru the gadget, and saving them on the card..then

transferred them to the computer..  After that I spent

a half an hour, filing them in folders and sharing some.

One of which was a hoot.. it was a picture of my #4

son in his tux.. white with blue sash..(remember

this is the 1980's.) .. and the song Staying alive,

staying alive... came to mind.. So I shared it with

his girlfriend.... nothing is worse than a mother who

finds old negatives of old pictures... that embarrass

you.. 

and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mary Worel....
