More Country Charm

OMG! Sandra! Ya know, I thought when I was posting that bit about my allergy to melons, "why am I telling people this? Like this is something anyone is going to care about!" Now, I am so glad that I did. The only other thing I am allergic to is an antibiotic called doxicyclene. That sent me to the hospital also. No other food allergies though that I know of! Your daughter is the only other person I have ever heard of with this itching thing!


Don't get me going on School Boards! I have several family members and friends that are teachers and all I can say is God Bless them! Between having to deal with some of the lunatic parents out there AND having to bow to every whim of the Boards, some of them deserve metals! I say some because, unfortunately, some teachers are not worth their salt. But, I find that the ones that are good and care about education and the kids, are either eagerly waiting retirement or getting frustrated with the curriculum changes! My daughter also had "free" days where she didn't have any classes after 10 am and she was free to leave school! Thankfully, she was an good student and graduated with honors but so many just fall through the cracks and don't get a good education. She graduated with more credits than she needed because I didn't agree with all this "free" time. She actually only needed 2 classes during her senior year to graduate so she ended up taking some college level courses that she transferred when she got to college. But, too many kids just ended up hanging out at the local diner all day!

I HATE tag sales or I guess I should say, I HATE having them! Love going to them but the hassle of sorting through stuff and getting it all together then having to deal with what is left....humbug! I think my part is going to be very small indeed! I would rather box it all up and bring it to a shop we have in town that accepts all kinds of stuff and sells it to benefit the battered woman's shelter here. But, I do see DH's point about making a few dollars. With this weather and his painting, things are a little tight. Hard to paint when the paint is drying on the brush before you can get it on the house! Hopefully, this weather will break soon and he can get back to work in earnest! (And, get out from under my feet!) He wanders through the house, picking stuff up, saying "what about this?" Leave my dang stuff alone! Just cuz he doesn't see a need for it doesn't mean I don't! Men! I think I am going to start asking him the same thing about all his hunting/fishing stuff!!! LOL! I have a box of scrapping stuff and, no, I don't do any paper scrapping but I do use it for 'crafting'. He actually wanted to put that out.."well, I never see you use it!" He about lost a hand for that one! Back off, mister, you are now treading on thin ice!

I can't remember who it was asked for this kit in lilac...I went back to check to see if I still had the 'working files' for this so I could do it but I had deleted them. I don't know why I never think of lilac when I think of pastels. But, I now have a sticky on my monitor that says "Think Purple". I do the same thing with yellow but yellow is a hard color to get a nice shade to, at least I find it to be. I promise to try to do better in the future!
Today is the Green part, well, green and yellow since I don't see too many green flowers around! Hope you enjoy!
