Remember Me?

Gosh, I just noticed that I have not made a blog post since January. I don’t know, I guess life just got in the way and I put blogging on the back burner. 

A few other reasons I kind of just forgot about it is that I ran out of stuff to blog about. I felt like I was not gaining any new followers and this daggum iPad that I blog from has been acting up. It’s not easy to fix my errors and formats. I plan to get a small computer so I can specifically use it for blogging. If you know of a good little computer thats perfect for blogging, please let me know in comments. 

I think about blogging all the time but just never do. If I get a chance to be still and relax to blog, I end up falling asleep. My full time job exhaust me. Well, It’s not really the job itself, I love what I do, but it’s my difficult micro manager that I have to deal with daily and it makes it hard. I’m alway tired.

I do read your blog post often when I’m taking a break during the day but never comment as it would take up to much of my fifteen minutes time. I also read them from my ipad but it was not letting me comment. I get aggravated. I just realized though, that if I comment from Google it will only let me post as “anonymous” but I can comment from Google Chrome and it works fine. So I just need to remember to use the Chrome app. 

Ok, I’m leaving it here and plan to continue blogging. I remember how good it was for me to talk about things and express feelings. I have some new recipes and crafts I hope to share with you later. So, put me back on your reading list and hope you will stick around. 

Snowed In

Wow. We are getting hit here in North Carolina with some snow. We rarely see more than a flurry or too around here. It’s too cold for me to go out there but people are reporting up to 12 inches. I can see it up to the top of my bottom porch step. Snow is still coming down. It has not stopped. It is so pretty and the world around me just feels still and peaceful.  

Last weekend, we got a Winter storm that brought in an inch of sleet and ice. We were just recuperating from that and now we have this big snow. My brother in law lives in Myrtle beach and they are getting snow too. I would love to see snow on the beach. I ch ecked on my daughter in Charlotte and she said shes been bored stuck in her little uptown studio apartment. I wish she was with me so we could make a snowman, snow cream , hot chocolate and bake goodies like we used to do when she lived at home. 

We made sure we to go by the grocery store two nights ago so we would have snacks and food to eat. The shelves were getting bare. I got everything I need. We went out to eat last night instead of tonight which was a great plan. On the way home, we stopped by mom and dads for some fresh homemade vegetable soup to take home for lunch today.  I plan to make soup on Sunday. I have been experimenting on different soups each weekend lately. 

What did I do besides laundry and eat all day cooped up in the house? I made some hand warmers. I already had some granny squares made to use on a project and got the idea to put some together to create something cute and cozy. I used some scrap yarn to make the ribbing and trim. 

I took this photo in my dining room while drinking my coffee and then I asked AI (ChatGPT) to add a snowy background. Pretty cool huh. I tried to take some photos of them with real snow in the background but it was too bright outside and it made my focus too dark to see details. Plus, It was a freezing 22 degrees out there. 

Did you get snow where you are? If so, what did you do to keep busy or relax all day?
