Oh Lord

Here I am again totally confused as to how to text from my i pad and i pod. Why are they so difficult. Mine will not recognize anyone. It becomes so frustrating. I just give up and go do something I know what I'm doing.
Saturday went to a funeral. it was a very informal Baptiste funeral. the preacher mentioned the cowboy preachers who give Longhorn sermons. There is a start here at this tip and a finish at this tip and a whole lot of bull in between. That was the most interesting thing about the funeral except for the lunch. They had egg salad sandwiches--my favourite. and nice squares. Made the trip past Red Deer worth while. As we were there already I made Roy stop in Red Deer at the Peavy Mart. it is huge and so much to see. They are the most interesting stores on earth except for small town Home hardware stores. Why is it that the big city stores loose all their interesting qualities?
I did seed some pansies in the house and they are starting to come up so I had to turn on the grow lights as they were looking kind of sickly.
So that is all today.

Pyjama Day

Oh I love pyjama days! Ever since I retired 10 years or so ago I have loved pyjama days. They are the days where you get up late and stay in your pyjamas all day doing whatever whenever and just before someone comes home you quickly change into your clothes to seem like you have done something other than lay around all day. Today was to be one of those days but a while ago my Granddaughter called to say she wanted to come over for a sleep over and which day was better today or tomorrow. She is eight and has teacher's convention days off so what can you say. Yes but wait till supper time. So I can read in my p.j.'s. And i have to run downstairs and see what I can clean up in the basement. Next time I will examine whether I am a hoarder. i hear the T.V. show may be going off the air so i must hurry and see if I am a hoarder or not.

It will kill me

This new technology will be the death of me. Today after my course on blogging I decided to go work out at the little gym they have at the seniors centre I go to.I started with the treadmill or walker as I. call it. I like to listen to music when I'm walking as otherwise it is so boring I want to quit after 5 minutes. I turn on my I-pod and put the emergency stop button on my shirt. I'm walking along at a good pace when the damn music stops. So I am looking at the I-pod trying to figure out what went wrong when all of a sudden I'm at the end of the runway or treadmill and off I  go.Well the whole thing stops dead on because I have pulled out the emergency rip cord. The guy next to me gives me a funny look as if to say" that was a strange thing to do". Of course it was .As if I would do that on purpose. I finally got the I-pod to play but it would only play the same song over and over. I had to stop and reset it after every song.What does shuffle mean if it doesn't to shuffle all the songs on your play list.And these new gadgets never come with an instruction manual. Your just suppose to know it or get the 10 yr. old neighbour boy to show you. Did you ever ask your adult children to help you out--I won't even go there........

Welcome to my new blog!!

Hello there.I'm learning how to set up a blog. So this will be brief as I really have to pay attention to the instructor.I have no idea if I will continue to blog as I am a busy granny doing nothing of importance. As soon as this is over I will be going to the workout room to try and save my life by strengtening my heart and lungs. have to work on my muscle tone too. So I can squat and do the necessary things one must do without asking for help or falling on my head. Later I will let all you readers know what I do to fill in my day. What a pity if no one actually reads this masterpiece. This course was actually quite interesting.I may continue to blog as there are times where one needs to rant and vent to prevent yelling and screaming at your loved ones.
