Reading...

Lulu, 
our olderst grandchild, 
(who isn't a child anymore ),
asked me what my favorite movie is.
We had a fun conversation about our choices.

Mine is, Anne of Green Gables.

Here is Lulu in front of our sweet, friend's home, 
which remind me of Green Gables.

After discussing which was better
 the book or the movie,
Lulu wanted me to read her 
Anne of Green Gables.
She said, "The book is so much better then the movie.".

Yes, she was right, the book was so much better then the movie. 
You can actually use your imagination!
I loved it!!!!!

"Isn't is splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? 
It just makes me feel glad to be alive-- it's such an interesting world, 
It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it?
There'd be no scope for imaginationn then, would there?"
~Anne of Green Gables~


Taking a cue from the book,
I found a fun and romantic spot to read.

"It must be a great deal better to be a sensible woman.
I don't believe I'd really want to be a sensible person,
 because they are so unromantic."
~Anne of Green Gables~

As a Thank You to Lulu for loaning her book to me,
I made her a bookmarker
specifically for her book.


I pressed Violas...


and added a Bible verse that I really like.


What I learned from reading 
Anne of Green Gables, 
is that an imigination is a good thing and I 
need to stop and try to use it more often.

But I don't think I'll quit being sensible or wise, either.

A Stay At Home Grandma


Tom and I have elected to stay home
 as much as possible.

We have keep up our reading the Bible, from start to finish.
Right now we are at the end of Psalms.
I find this book to be very pertinent! 

We have our Clorox Wipes going full time!
Vitamins for breakfast, eating a spoonful of chopped garlic before lunch and gargling salt water before bed.


But before we confined ourselves to home, we took Banjo to the Vet to get his Rabies shot.




All his shots are now completed!
Someone said that this picture of him, 
looks like he is smiling!


Social Distancing, a new term for me.


 I take Banjo for  walks several times a day.
I use this time for training.
He is learning to sit when I stop, without me telling him.
To walk next to me without pulling on the leash.
and to be polite to others we see.


But he doesn't understand Social Distancing, yet!

Mr. Pickles ( our neighbors dog) and Banjo
 just don't have it in them to keep their distance.


We don't confine ourselves completely to our home.
We take Banjo for practice Car Rides, for the future.

Banjo enjoys the window down.




I even think he fell asleep looking out the window.





The other day I organized and took an inventory 
of what we have on hand in our garage pantry.
While out in the garage with me, 
Banjo saw himself for the first time in the hubcap.

He curious and couldn't figure it out.
It was so funny, I just had to take a picture.









I'm keeping busy at home.
I brought out Susie, my sewing machine,


We have 5 birthdays coming up real soon!


Three little boys are getting
Paw Patrol Pillowcases!


Three presents down, two to go!


So, tell me, how you are doing at this time?
If you are staying home, what are you doing to keep busy?

I know I have read a lot more, especially about how to keep healthy.


I really like how others are sharing their information on recipes, thoughts, prayers, health, home school ideas and just just about anything else helpful.

Do you have any?

Matthew 6:25-34 

Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.


Be Sate and Healthy !

One day at a time......

End of the Year


Remember when you were young 
and collected buttons?

There were all kinds of buttons...
funny, thoughtful. even political. 



Then came bumper stickers.

Again, some funny, thoughtful or
political.

With computers, came, what are called Memes.
They are catchphrases that are passed on to others via the computer.

It's the end of the year and I have collected a lot of Memes. 
Now it's time to 
clean out my computer and start fresh.

So here it goes...
some funny, some thoughtful and
some political.


















































If you have read ALL of these Memes,
you probably know
me a little better, now!

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true. whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -think on such things."

Philippians 4:8
