Spring is here or at least I hope so

This past weekend was beautiful. Nice warm weater, sun shining, able to have the windows open in the house, house smells so nice and fresh. I hope spring is here to stay. But living in northern Indiana I know that we can be in for a rude awakening and find snow on the ground. But I am keeping my fingers crossed. We mowed our yard on Saturday and got out all the lawn furniture. In hopes that we will now be able to use it very very soon. Keeping our fingers crossed.
Only about 10 more days or so and I will be hooked back up to the internet at my house. I miss not being able to just get on my computer when I want and be able to go to the sites that I have saved whenever I want. Not that I can't use my daughters computer whenever I want, its just more convenient at home. I have been able to get some things done around my home that I have wanted to do. Took a big box to GW the other day and took some clothes my daughter didn't want anymore to work for some of the girl residents that don't have much to wear. We get girls in all the time that come in some pretty raggedy clothing and you ask the parents to bring in some clothes for them to wear so they can go to school and they never show up. There always is some excuse or another. I could really go off on a tangent and get up on my soapbox but I won't. I will just do what I can and let it go at that.
I have been looking for some spring ideas to make lately. Really not much out there for embroidery or cross stitch. I have started on some 4th of July items so I will be ready. Guess I will just have to be imaginative and go from there.
I hope everyone has had a nice Easter and enjoying some spring weather. Please stay safe and enjoy life. Will be up and running soon. WooHoo

Still having issues and updates

I am still having issues with my internet provider and have now decided to change providers. I won't be up and running till the end of the month but thats ok. By going with this new provider my daughter and I can have our computers hooked up to the same acct and this way we can split the bill. This in the long run will work out best for both of us as we will both save about $40 a month from what we are paying now. So that it is a good thing. So maybe this was the way it was all suppose to work out anyway. In this economy its good to save money wherever you can.
This weather has been crazy around here. It snowed Sunday night and it got really cold. The snow was all gone by noon the next day but sure can't tell its spring that is for sure. My granddaughter is in Georgia visiting relatives for spring break and she said the weather has been sunny and in the 80's. I told her to pack some of that nice warm weather in her suitcase and bring it back home with her. We could sure use it. Its been quiet around here without her. I miss her. Yes she can be a pain the .... like most teenagers can but it doesn't change the fact that you still miss them.
I am still trying to figure out the best sleeping pattern for me. I am not having any trouble staying awake working this midnight shift. But pretty much surviving on maybe 4-5hrs of sleep a day just doesn't cut it. Sometimes I swear my mind is a jumbled up mess. You would think after working this shift almost a year (in July will be a year) I would get used to it and be able to sleep better, but so far no go. Oh well at least I am gettig some crafts done and that is a good thing.
I have some Easter decorations up around my house but can't post any pictures because I am not on my computer. I can't post any of the new craft items I have made either. Oh well you take the good with the bad. Will post when I get my computer all up and running. It will be a little past the holidays but sometimes things happen.
I hope everyone has a nice Easter. Be safe and enjoy yourself.
