THE RAIN

This, my dear Bloggettes is the rain falling from the sky onto my backyard. On May 12, 2011, that would be yesterday, it rained, stormed, lightened and just carried on in our little town. Everybody on the south Texas Gulf Coast was grinning from ear to ear. There was so much grinning you could hear it. We have been in such a drought that the population of our town was a little grinchy. No more! We are very happy campers, if my rain gauge had not been broken I would tell you the exact amount we received. A couple of whirls and twirls and a break-out song on "Oh Happy Days", you get the picture. Thank-you from above!

THE MAXER

Here he is, the man in my life. This is Maxwell, The Maxer, Poopy and much more. When my partner,The Maxer, and I are not in the house, or in the yard, we are in THE MILLY(aka: my studio). The giant poodle does have a nice cozy bed in The Milly, but when it is hot he wants the cement floor. He will lay there for awhile, but the first squirrel, bird, or next-door-neighbor and he's out the door. There are glass doors and he hears and sees all from his perch. Max does not cooperate often for a photo and for him to smile, well this is worth a thousand words. So Max says, "Howdy Doody to all and to all a good-bye".

I DID IT!

Here it is! I did it, I did it! I got really brave and I did it! This is the gardenia bush. I might have another picture any minute. I just have to go look at my blog and see if this really happened or not. I have a really good one of My Dog Max. Oh, gosh I'm so excited. Check me out! A real blogger!

The Gardenia

Dear Bloggettes,
I made the mistake of saying I was going to work on putting pictures on the blog. Well, I really am it is just taking longer than I thought. I did however take a picture of my beautiful gardenia bush this week. It is in full bloom and looking right good I might add. Anyway I am now trying to put it on this page, but so far none of the wires seem to match the holes on my computer. I have to dig deeper and put the instruction cd on and learn some more. I have been reading, reading, reading about all the electronic stuff this past week and there is a huge learning curve for me. I am not giving up but will forge ahead, I promise. As for artwork, there is nothing happening at the moment. I have laid down my paints, colors, glue, and glitter so I might focus on the business end of The Milly tra la la. I now know this is as important as the creative part. What all this really means is I Am Taking Control of Stuff. No more burying my head in the sand. I Will Be Brave and Learn and Do New Things. Love to all, Milly

Easter Hurrah!

Happy Easter to one and all. He has risen and finally I have too! It was a wild and wooly Easter and I believe I can finally be called Church Lady. I was at the church so much I began to look around to see if there was a place I could rent. After Sunday services we let it rip. We had family, friends, beautiful children, food, drink, confetti eggs, drink, sugar, drink, and lots of laughing and fun. After it was all said and done I shook the confetti out of my panties, went to bed and did not get up for 24 hours. Christmas has nothing on Easter. It is one of my favorite times of the year. All that laughter and children shining in the great outdoors. What a Day! If I can ever figure out how to put pictures on this blog thing I will. We had the best looking children in the whole world in my back-yard. So, Happy Easter to all and remember it is celebrated for 50 days, keep it in your heart.

Saved, Saved at Last

I have taken care of business. The password dilemma is finally over, thanks to one of my daughters. I have started writing down all passwords. How intelligent is that? I even added a new picture to my face book and am now trying to add photos to the blog. A little victory. On to the business news. I am waiting for envelopes for the new thank-you notes and then they are good to go. I am having some trouble with printing and two notes cards will have to be reprinted. It seems the more I do (many time the wrong do) the more I learn from my mistakes. I think I have heard that phrase before. I have been working on the yard and am getting close to hiring a somebody to mow and weed eat. That is really big for me. I have so much on my plate and can't seem to get to everything. I never thought I would give up the Big Mow, but never say never. I think I have heard that phrase before. Must get busy, Good-bye Blogettes. Milly

passwords

I have almost lost my mind as of yesterday and of course the trial and tribulations of today. I am not an organized person and therefore, have an extremely hard time finding my passwords for various and sundry things. I have tired very hard to keep the password thing to one universal word but people say that isn't safe. Well, how do you remember fifteen thousand different codes? I have not been able to get onto my website, face-book, and my blog all morning. Yesterday I couldn't find the title for my car. Some would say I should start organizing myself. Ta- Da, they never sent the title to my car, I paid it off two years ago. This password thing I don't know how to get that together. I have passwords written all over my house and by the time I find the right one I have already reset and can't remember that word. I so want to get into this internet frenzy, but it seems I can create my own. I know things will be better tommorrow. I still don't know how I finally got on this blog. Milly
