Here it is midnight and I am still up and not sleepy. As usual it is the same old same old day in my life. Nothing exciting ever happens in my life. I guess the only exciting thing that takes place in my life every day is getting my mail. I so enjoy getting mail from all of my art groups that I belong to. I usuall get atcs or something from a trade that I am in. I have started my fourth note book of ATCS. I have over 1200 ATCS. My shelf over my computer is full of books,tags, pictures of all of my good friends in my groups of their art. My art studio is getting too small again. I talked my hubby in putting me up three shelves for me to store some of my supplies. It helped out to some degree but the shelves only lasted over the weekend as one morning they fell off of the walls. I told him when he was putting them up to be sure and find the studs well he didnt find the studs and they fell. The shelves are back up and I am hoping they want fall again and hit me while I am on this darn computer.
I guess you would call this exciting today. I went and got my hair all kinked up today at the beauty shop. My hair was straight as a poker and I couldnt stand it any longer. If my hair doesnt look good it makes me very depressed. I look bad enough as an old lady without my hair being straight and flying every which way.
I really dont feel like writing the next chapter to my story as I had a awful dream about my x huband that is dead now. I woke up crying and couldnt go back to sleep and I have been depressed today from that bad dream. What does it mean when you dream about people that are dead. I dream all of the time about some of my relatives that has passed away and usually wake up crying. I hate to have dreams like that. Oh well maybe I want have any tonight. Hope not.
I just now got through reading one of my friends blog and it sure was funny. She is coming to see Beth and I in November. I know we will have a fun time together. I can't wait for her visit as she will liven my life up and keep me laughing. I need some laughter in my daily routine. My husband is a very serious person and doesnt cut up much and doesnt laugh very often. My first husband was a comical person and we were always laughing and pulling foolish stunts on one another. It really took some gettting use to not having all of the stunts and laughter in my second marriage. I learned the hard way when we were first married. I pulled an April Fool joke on my second husband and boy did it make him mad, he wouldnt even eat lunch. So I never pull a stunt again on him!!! He is a wonderful person and treats me like a queen. He has my coffee and paper ready on the table every morning when I get up. He is a very quiet man and never says anything about what I buy or go. Sometime I get to feeling so quilty about spending so much time in my art studio and not spending more time with him. But he never complains about it.
Guess I will hit the sac now as I am getting a little sleepy writing this boring blog. Wish I had something exciting to write in here but guess my story will have to do if you can bare to read it.
I will try to write more on the story tomorrow night. Nite to all, Granny

The Postman Always Rings Twice
Chapter 2
She thought to herself, I cant feel sorry for myself I must start a new life and pick myself up from this sorry pitful situation. But how do I start a new life for myself? All of my past life has been for my children and husband. Raising my children to be decent loving kind people. I have cooked, washed, clean and done work outside of my home. All I know to do is take care of my family. At least I have worked out in the public some. I must be thankful that I have a job now and a very good job at that. I will have a income to help along with my money that I get from my ex husband every month to help meet the expenses that occurr living alone. She realized that she had a lots to be thankful for.
She would try to go to bed and get some sleep although sleep didn't come easy for her. She tossed and tumbles all night and would awake and with the question what did I do to deserve this loneness. The next morning she dreaded going into work as she knew she would have to tell everyone and her boss that her marriage had ended. When she was hired her boss told her he wanted a woman with a family and a happy marriage. What would he say when she told him about her marriage coming to an end? She knew she looked awful, her eyes were swollen from crying so much the night before and she had lost weight for the past few months in her unhappy marriage. She dreaded going in and telling her boss that her marriage had ended. With her swollen eyes she walked into his office and started telling him with tears streaming down her face. He felt so sorry for her and told her not to worry about her job that she was a good office manager and she would always have a job with him. She left his office feeling such a relief that she had told him and he was so understanding.
As time went by she got to feeling better about her life. She was glad that her ex and her split up on good terms even if they had a lot of bitterness in their last few years together. Her ex even helped her find a townhouse and helped her move into it. He was very promp every month with the alimony to her and a good alimony at that.
She started going out dancing one night a week with a very nice lady and she really enjoyed dancing as her ex and her used to dance every weekend. Her girlfriend was a widow and loved to danced so they may a point to go out at least once a month to dance at a very nice club. She would be asked by a lot of nice men to dance but she never dated any of them or told where she lived.
One day she met up with one of her friend at church and she asked if she was dating anyone. She said no and she didn't intend to have another man in her life. Her girlfriend wouldn't give up on her and told her that her husband worked with a man that had lost his wife a year ago in death and that he was very lonely. She told her that he would like to have a nice lady to take out to dinner and be a friend to her. Finally she gave into her girlfriend and said that this man could call her. One night this man called her and of course her ex had come over to see her and give her the alimony check. While her ex was there this man called her. She had to tell him she couldnt talk to him right now and that she would call him back. After her ex left she didn't call her stranger back but in a few minutes he called her. They talked for a long time and she couldnt believe that he was the postman that she had talked to for a long time at her mail box a year ago. She remember him very well and felt so sorry for him in the lost of his wife in death. She finally agreed to go out to dinner with him the following friday night. After she hung up she thought what have I done. I haven't dated in over thirty years. Why I don't even know how to act or say on a date. Oh my! what have I done to agree to go out with him!!!!

Here I go again trying to figure this darn blog out. I guess I will have to get Beth to give me lessons in how to get aroung in this darn blog. Just got through talking to her and she try to tell me what to do but it is all Greek to me LOL.
Beth came up friday night and spent the night with me. We worked on some new technique in greeting cards. We also tried to make a necklace out of a little match box that we saw in one of our art magazine. I didn't have the beads that we needed. Beth has so many pretty beads that she makes the most beautiful jewelry out of. I am not too good on making jewelry. I have more compliments on all of the jewelry that she makes for me. We went to bed around one in the morning and we couldn't go to sleep so we talked some more. She didn't snore thank goodness LOL. We got up the next morning and loaded up to go to our Sassy Stampers Club Meeting. I was hostess for the August meeting. I took Barbeque, brownies , nic nacks, fruite tea. We had ten at our meeting and every one brought a cover dish. We worked so hard on some new technique that we just about forgot it was time to eat all of that good food. Beth taught a class on how to stamp on acetate and glue and glitter. We also learned how to take a coffee filter to cover your stamp and take a crayon and rub over the image on the stamp. We made greeting cards with a new technique. We had a lot of fun at the meeting. We always come back home with new ideas. I was so tired that I just didn't do anything but sleep in the recliner and tried to watch the Titans get beat ugh.
Today I have been trying to make the covers for The Fall Shipping Tag Books swap. I am hostess for this swap. Just about got all of them printed out. Need to clue some pictures and poem that I wrote on the covers of the book. I got tired and decided after dinner that I would come into my blog and see what I could mess up in my posting.
Beth just called me and said she was posting my blog site into a group that we are in. The group has made a data for all of the members that has blogs. Well I tell you this when you come into my blog it isn't much to look at as I don't really know what I am doing LOL. Maybe one of these days I will get as good as my daughter and others in posting in my blog. Please overlook the grammar and spelling when you read my blog. I am not good at grammar, I barely got by in highschool in english. I had a sorry teacher. The teacher would sleep at her desk most of the time and I didn't learn anything in grammar. I love to write stories and have written a lot of stories but so ashame of my grammar in these stories. My typing isn't all that great either. So just over look the spelling, grammar and typing when you read my blog. I used to make up stories to tell to Beth. She said she wished I had written those stories down so she would had copies of the stories I made up. I did win a contest in highschool on one that I had written but when another english teacher that was really good and very strict on grammar read it she had red corrections all over the story and I had to rewrite it all over again with the right grammar and spelling. I sure wished now that I had her for my teacher and maybe I would had learned more of grammar. You can't look back on the past though and wish that you had done different in some of the things that you done in your past. You just have to do the best that you can with what life you have left. I have started a story in my blog and I guess I will finish it if you can bare to read it with all of its mistakes.
Don't take the above paragraph wrong, I am not feeling sorry for myself. I am just glad that I am able to write even though I make a lots of mistakes. I am glad that I have an imagination and can put my imagination into words. I write a news letter for an art group that I am in and the moderator says she loves my southern writings. I will post some of my stories in here if you will overlook all of the mistakes LOL.
I will attempt to try to write the next chapter on "The Postman Always Rings Twice. Hope anyone that reads it will enjoy it.
Take care until I see you again in here with my writings.

True Story: Postman Always Rings Twice
She was sitting in her apartment crying her heart out. She was alone for the first time in all of her 50 years. She was thinking about all of her past years and wondering how she was going to stand being alone. What have I done that I deserve being lonely at the age of fifty?? I always heard that life begins at fifty. It seems that my life ended at the age of fifty.
She was brought up in a loving and caring family. Her Mom and Dad and two older sisters. They always had fun loving times. They all would sit down together at the dinner table and discuss all about what they had done that day. Even their pet dog would add something to the conversation sitting between her Dad and her. Family life was great in those days of the thirties and forties. There was a togetherness that families today doesn't have. Mom stayed at home and tended to her family. Today Moms have to work to give their children all that they demand in worthly goods. Children really dont know what they are missing out on those olden days.
Here she was all alone after graduating from highschool and jumping right into a marriage of 30 years or so. It was a good marriage until the last couple of years. What happened to that wonderful marriage she asked herself. Time was changing in the world and you seldom heard of a divorce back when she was growing up. Here she was divorced and alone. What did I do that brought this loneness to me???

I have been very busy since I last posted in here. I went to my daughters Friday night and we created some Fall Shipping Tags Book covers that I am hosting in a group. We ran out of the paper that we were using for the covers as we wanted all the covers to alike. We took a break and ate some good old Herschey Kisses filled with carmel. I love those darn things but once I break that bag open I just cant stop eating those darn things. Beth loves the kisses also and course I dont help her out on her diet by bringing those things there when we are creating. But that is what Moms are for in my bookLOL. Beside if she gets smaller than me we want be able to share our clothes and that is for the birds.
After eating too many of those good old Herschy kisses we decided to make our shipping tags for the book. Beth was awning and eyes were crossing about 11 oclock and I was told that she just had to go to bed. Beth gets up at 5 in the mornings since she has started back to work. She said that I could stay up and work on my arts if I wanted to. I decided I would just turn in also. Well I couldnt go to sleep for her snoring LOL. Just kidding you Beth Dear. I finally got up and took a pain pill as my leg was giving me a fit. I went off to sleep about one in the morning.
The next morning we were up and ready to dig back in our creating. I finished my tags and she worked on her Deco Book and quilt book. I had seen in a magazine on how to make paper beads. We dugged the magazine out and we decided to try making some of the beads. They was so easey to make. I made a sting of black and striped beads with black stones in between the paper beads. I used a piece of black stripped wraping paper. Beth used a piece of paper out of a catalog all different colors. Her beads were so colorful. I wanted a black string of beads to wear with a black outfit that I had. We then decided we would make braceletts to match the beads. We put Gel Varnish on the paper beads that we made and I swear you can not tell that they are made out of paper. This old Granny decided that she needed a ankle bracelett so sweet Beth made me one. We had such a good time as we always do when we get together. I came home around four and didnt do anything the rest of the night. I was tired of creating so I of course read some more in my art magazines and got some more ideas that I would like to try.
Beths art studio looked so good. Her hubby put up a lots of shelves in her studio and she really has it organized. I came home to my messy art studio and was so disgusted that I don't have enough space and storage. Beth and her hubby told me that they would put me some shelves up if I wanted them to do so. Of course that is all that it took for them to volumteer to do so. My hubby and I went to Loew today and looked at the shelving. I am going to get rid of an old computer desk and mount three white shelves on the wall. I bought 3 white storage bins at Big Lot so I am just waiting for them to mount my shelves LOL.
I am about caught up on all of my art projects. I mailed out seven envelopes today with swaps that I am in. I need to make my Quilt page for September and finish the covers for my Shipping Tag Books. I decided that I would come in here and catch up on my posting. I also am a News Editor for a group that I am in. I send a news letter out every month to all of the members in that group. They write me and give me news that is going on in their lives. They really enjoy the news letter that I send. I add a little comical to the letters and some time a nice joke or quote or poem.
Well I guess I better get off of here and start composing the News Letter and maybe play a few games on here. Nite to all until I see you in a day or two. You may be surprise with a true story about some old granny!!!

Another Day and Another Dollar as the old saying goes. But just another day to add on to my years but not another dollar LOL. I miss not working and being with people but retirement is fine if you make it to retirement. My husband and I had so much planned to do when we retired but our health started to failed. So I say go while you are young and enjoy every minute of your young days. I know I sound a little depressed about getting old but really I enjoy every minute that God gives me. I keep busy and keep my mind active with all of my art work and this darn computer. I am not in the best of health but I dont let it stop me from doing and going when I have the opportunity to do so. I tell all oldies to stay active and keep your minds busy.
Speaking of busy, I really stayed busy yesterday. I made 4 pages for chunky book for a group that I am in. Also made 9 ATCS and straighten up my art studio. Also took time out to watch the Braves get beaten by Washington. Also read some art magazines while the commercials were on. I am a big Brave fan even though they aren't doing good this year. I still support the Braves. Today will be a busy day for me also. I will do some more art work then I go to the beauty shop for my hair and manicure and pedicure. I love to have my feet worked on it is so relaxing. Then I have to go to the store to get some stuff to feed our poor old bodies LOL. I want be worth a dime after all of this going. So will tell my hubby to have the recliner ready for my old tired body!!
My daughter Beth and I are hoping to get together Saturday and create some arts. We have to make our third Quilt Book Page. The theme is Coffee. Boy that is going to be hard. Beth picked up some material with coffee designs on the material. I have a lots of good ideas in making the page but don't know just how I will do these ideas. Beth and I so enjoy getting together and compile our ideas. Two heads are better than one! Sometimes I spend the night with her working until wee hours of the mornings. This time I will not be able to do so as my husband needs me to put eye drops and patch over his eye before he turns in for the night. He had cataract surgery done 2 weeks ago and he is doing fine with his eye. I am going to try to upload some of my art works at the end of this posting. Wish me luck in doing so LOL. Have a wonderful day and show all your kindness to one another.

As usual not keeping my posting up in here. I am not like my daughter she posts in here every day and puts pictures in here. I have been busy making ATCS, pages for book and Birthday cards. Also going into Nashville to doctors.
Today is one of those dreary old day and I will probally do some arts. I am trying to get caught up on my cards and ATCS. I haven't posted any pictures of any of my art work so I will try to post some now. I am fairly new at this and I don't know too much about posting pictures. Here goes an attempt to post some of my arts.

Behind On Posting
Well I am behind on my postings. I do have a good reasond for being late in my posting. This has been an awful week for me. My husband had cataract surgery this past Tuesday and he hasn't done as well as we thought he would do because he has diabetes. He takes 4 shots a day. The surgery got his blood sugar all out of wack. He got very dizzy and unstable on his feet. He fell in the elevater the next morning going back to see the doctore who done the surgery on his eye. Thank goodness it didnt jarred anything loose in his eye. I have had my hands full waiting on him and watching him to be sure he doesnt fall again. His dizziness is some better but he is still unstabled in his walking. We are having a time getting his blood sugar back to what it should be. I am a little tire as he has always waited on me so much but I guess turn about is fair. I havent been able to do much in my arts as I am busy watching and taking care of him. My daughter Beth doesnt live too far from us. She came up today to stay with my husband so I could go to the beauty shop and go to the store. While I was gone she cleaned my house and done my laundry. Bless her heart she is such a dear daughter. I dont know what I would do without her. Later in the day her husband came up and finished putting railings up to our front porch steps. My husband had started doing this project but it got so hot here the past 2weeks that he couldnt take the hot weather with being a diabetic. Dan finished the railings and I do so appreciate him doing this as we needed the railings to go down the steps as I am unstable on my feet due to Parkinson disease and him being so unstable on his feet also. Our deck steps were too many to go down for us. I am so glad that we have the railings up now. I really appreciate all that my daughter and her husband does for us. We have 5 boys but they all live away from us.Two lives outside Atlanta and one in Alabama and 2 in Oklahoma. So you see we have to depend on Beth for everything that needs to be done. One of our boys did come home from Oklahoma and did some painting in our house that needed to be done. He isnt married and disable but was able to help us out. He has said that he would move in with us if when we got where we couldnt take care of ourselves. He is a stepson but I love him like my own sons. He is a dear man. I have 2 sons and daughter and my husband has 3 sons. We have been married going on 23 years. My children were all grown and living away from home when I met my husband. He had one son 11 years old and other were away from home. Every one thought I was crazy for taking on a 11 old son to raise, but Tony never gave me one ounce of trouble. He was a very good boy and was always very helpful. Tony got married 2 years ago and we dont see or hear from him too often. As the old saying goes guess he cut his moms aprong strings when he got married LOL. He is real busy in his job and I realize that but would be nice to hear from him more often as I love him just like my own children. I will later on put some pictures of my children and stepsons in here and husband. My daughter has a blog in here under Sandee. Beth and I really enjoy doing our arts together and shopping for art supplies. We are friends as well as Mother and Daughter. I would be lost without her. I am tired and guess I will hit the sac soon. Some day I will tell the story of my husband and I courtship and how I met him. You have heard of the movie "Postman Always Rings Twice". That is the story I will tell someday when I feel up to it. Goodnight friends....Lottie
