My Take on My 2nd Amendment Issues Today.

1. The President doesn't have a corner to hide in; he lives on a dead-end street.
2.Given the situation on The 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution, there are really a handful of loud mouths' who are clamoring about doing something drastic and as usual it is lead by the President who has a habit of opening his mouth and inserting his foot and then falling on his ugly face.
If you will recall several instances:
  1. Remember the how the police acted stupidly in Cambridge, Mass?
  2. Remember the shooting of a black boy by a Hispanic in Florida?
And now he is going to fall flat on his face for the 3rd time and it will be his last. I may be wrong, but 3 times and out for him to stick his nose into separate states affair has not worked out well for the POTUS.
  3. Who have the loudest mouth on the 2nd Amendment issues as far as trying to make it impotent?
     1. An old has been Senator for the Great State of California which is broke and doped up because all of those rich movie stars don't really pay their fair share, Senator Feinstein.
     2. A foreign talk host on a news network who shot his mouth off about The Constitution from the country we fought our way out of their tyranny. He shall not be named in my writings.
    3. A rich mayor of a city that has used taxpayer money more than once to support it from falling into the Atlantic Ocean more times than anyone on can count and is as loony as a cartoon telling people that they cannot sell large sodas and that emergency room should not give out prescription pain killers. By the way, is he a medical doctor? The gentleman from New York City, Mayor Bloomberg.
    4. A crazy spoiled kid of an ex-mayor of the city mentioned in #3 who is screaming like a mad man at the top of his lungs hoping someone might listen to his temper-tantrum, Governor Cuomo.
    5. A Vice President who couldn't cut his way out of a paper bag with a scissors without cutting himself. The Peoples' Choice, Vice President Joe Biden (who remembers what Della wore anyway).
    6. A little known scab sheet just north the city that never sleeps who are now hiding in their attics surround by armed guards afraid of the nuts crying for "assault weapons ban"* (no free advertising from me).
These are the people trying to take away gun from law abiding citizens. These are the nut cases we want to trust with the lives of our children and grandchildren.
Now, who haven't you heard from? Ah ha, yes those who would have the most to gain by disarming the citizen and I'm not going to give them any background because, they have been so quiet that they figure they will come out smelling like roses when it happens:
    1. Eric Holder, Attorney General
    2. John Kerry, Nominated for Secretary of State
    3. Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State
    4. The mayor of Chicago, the city with the largest crime rate in the country.
*assault weapons = your kids baseball bat is an assault weapon.
** Author notes: There are more out there but these are the loudest and they really don't have much to lose but the silent ones "think" they will come out smelling like flowers and are the saviors of the time. I've may be wrong, but I would bet a dollar to a hole in a donut that the ones being quiet are the ones who want to improve their political futures at the expense of the crows' cawing.

Goodbye 2012

No predictions as to whether 2013 will be better than 2012 but one thing is for sure there are no durer or is it dyer predictions that the world will end.
The first Icicle of the 2012-2013 Winter season landed at our house on Saturday, December 29th and here is proof:

So today, I went out into the weather for the first time this Winter. Yes, it is true. I have not been out since prior to December 21st and so off I went to visit Hobby Lobby, Joann's and then brunch at Cracker Barrel to use up some of our Christmas gift cards.

My dear Sister-In-Law, Kathy, gave me a gift card for my favorite fabric and craft shop so I could get a bolt of unbleached muslin to start my next quilt which is going to be "Winter Wonderland" in redwork embroidery and red and white blocks. I also had a 40% off coupon and an extra 10% off total purchase so I'm really one happy quilter.

Now, I'll be ready for when all the cold wet and snowy comes my way to stay in and be cozy while I stitch away at another fun embroider project next to the one I've started here:

So now I'm in for the day, and I don't need go out. All I need to do is listen to the complaining about the traffic and rude people from DH on his daily trips and outings.
Happy New Year! Take heart Freedom is coming.

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas. We started out Christmas Eve with my traditional Clam Chowder (potato soup for Grandson) and a delicious turkey dinner celebrated with our friend, Kay!.

Today, I basted on of the doll quilts that I put together last fall and if we don't play cards tonight, I'm back to embroidering on the "Vintage Tin" top. I have decided that I'm going to concentrate on getting some of the quilts actually quilted this year, so my tops are going to be limited.

Yesterday, I made new 5' leaders for Tin Lizzie18 and got one of them on the belly bar. If I can't get Lizzie working properly by the end of January then she is going "Over the Cliff".  I can use almost any machine with the frame and if that don't work, I have a Handi-Quilt frame and I'll go for a Handi-Quilt machine... either way I will be quilting with a longarm machine by March, 2013.

This one on the bottom is the one that got basted today.... She is ready to be put under Elna's needle on Monday.

My two latest quilt tops ready to be sandwiched:

Prayers, Oh how we need prayers!

Newtown, CT and the whole of the United States needs prayers. Pray for the families in Newtown and Sandy Hook Elementary School who are in so much pain that unless you have experienced the lost of a child or grandchild, brother or sister, you will never know the pain and you will be so very very blessed.
Yesterday, December 14, 2012 was a horrific day in not only our lives, but in the history of mankind. When a crazed person can walk into our schools and KILL innocent Babies, BABIES! Beautiful, loving babies who deserve life. God help us! God help America! God help mankind.

Nineteen Days 'til

Well, here we are less than 20 days away from another Christmas.
The other day I was out to Walmart and got my hair cut and when I left, the gal said, "Happy Holidays" immediately followed by an oops - Merry Christmas!
Thank you all for honoring Christmas.
Have we really become a nation of Scrooges?
I would say NO! but I could be wrong!

If the reason for the holiday is not Christ's birth, then why are all the businesses worried about "Black Friday!" Why not just survive on what they have made all the rest of the year? I mean there is someone's birthday every day and of course, we mustn't forget that the new lord & savior was born in August, so why isn't that "black Friday"?

Ok, enough ranting. If there isn't a Merry Christmas in the store windows sign, then I will walk on by!

Merry Christmas and Peace on Earth goodwill to men.

Happy Halloween

Halloween is here, again,
The sky above is dreare, again,
Lets sing a song of cheer, again,
Halloween is here, again!

ROTFLMBO~

so here is the latest thing I've quilted. I finished it up this morning and now it is hanging in my front door, to greet the little goblins who stop by for a treat!
Other than that nothing much is happening. My big brother's memorial service in Mandan, ND was last week on the 16th which, of course, I could not attend. I hear however, that the weather was beautiful and that his ashes took a bit of a detour down an old dirt road. Knowing Ervin, he would have done that on purpose, because he loved old dirt roads in the Dakotas, California or wherever he roamed. Miss you Big Brother!

Now, here is my latest attempt at being incompetent! I'm soon to give up on these silly things that I try to sew and quilt as I'm not very good at it and often ask myself WHY? Why do I punish myself? -- Who knows? -- I certainly do not!

 

OK, I'm outta here! It is time to watch a bit of Saturday television, then to start the meatloaf for dinner.

 

Let not your heart be trouble.

 



October, Marvelous October!

October, marvelous October!
Sometimes kind to me, but mostly not so kind.
I just love the weather this month, but not so much the people of this month with three exception ~ my mother, Lydia Link was born on October 1st, my oldest sister, Agnes, on October 20th and a niece, Lydia on October 26th. After that I've either been false accused of things that I would have never thought about, lied about even by relatives not necessarily blood, or totally ignored. So do I have much I like about October? I'd have to say it is about equally good and bad.

How about Oktoberfest? They are great if I could attend one. Halloween, oh I love "trick 'n treat. I love the Autumn harvest of apples, pumpkins, nuts and potatoes & cabbage.

October is super for gingerbread, homemade soups like potato & leek and of course some of mom's special recipes.

October is the time to put the summer lawn furniture away and to get ready for the snow and November Thanksgiving.

October is the time to reflect on all the good weather that was Summer and the bad weather to come in December.

I guess this year has left a bitter taste not only in my mouth but also my heart.

Last year we had a memorial service for my beloved Granddaughter and the aftermath continues to this year. I have not much to be proud of her father, although he is my son, I sure did a shitty job of raising him, despite his grief he now has stepped forward to tell his wife and my grandson and my husband, his step-father, that if anything happened to his step-father he/they would not take care of me his mother... Does this mean I should be upset? Well considering that I am a cancer survivor and on oxygen 24/7 perhaps just a little. I do have one advantage that I am my husband's 4 year senior, but not much constellation that husband has heart disease.

Oh well, now that I have that off my chest, I can continue to breathe a bit easier OH YEAH!

I've done a lot of sewing this fall, and I'm registered in several online classes that I should really be working on, perhaps later today. Here are some of the block that I've done.

 

 

There is one more, but I don't know what I did with the picture of it.
Now it is time to made the dinner! Not too sure what it will be and if I will be able to meet the standard I did last night with those huge stuffed pork chops and homemade apple pie.

If I get at it, maybe I'll get some sewing done after all.
