<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hi Pap!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A Chat With Uncle Martin </span></div>
<br />
Just got off the phone with Uncle Martin. I had heard that he wasn't well and had been told that he suspected that he had the same thing as you.... the big "C".<br />
<br />
We chatted for a bit. I wished him happy belated birthday. He told me that he turned 75 - a quarter of a century.<br />
<br />
I spoke to him about his illness. He then gave me good news. Apparently, he had fallen this past winter and had hurt his back. NO, that's NOT the good news part. The Doctors and specialists did tests on him and they couldn't find anything... THAT'S the good news!<br />
<br />
At the end of our conversation, I asked him to call us, every now and then. He then told me that he wasn't much to chat on phones.<br />
<br />
I reminded him that he used to talk to you, every day and asked him if he missed you and he said "Yes", telling me that he had your picture and Uncle Edmond's picture near the phone, on a side table.<br />
<br />
Then, my tears started welling up and I got choked up. I had trouble finishing our phone call.<br />
<br />
Pap - Is there any way we could possibly pick up the phone to talk with you... or is it only through prayer?<br />
<br />
I miss you terribly....<br />
<br />

on a Sunday, the 2nd of February, 2014. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As for Granite Gnome, he hasn't been feeling well, lately.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Hubby mentioned it a few days ago. It appeared as if Granite Gnome was cracking up... no one dared touch him, even.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
This evening hubby said, "Granite Gnome is now tilting and looking some
of his granite. He looks like those melting icebergs that we see on
those TV documentaries."</span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I sincerely doubt Granite Gnome will survive our 20 cm of snow, tomorrow. Time will tell.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Green Gnome went for a little walk in the garden bed and look what he noticed - SPRING HAD SPRUNG!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Fortunately, for Green Gnome, he can't surf the Weather Network and see what's coming here tomorrow.... <i class="_4-k1 img sp_fM-mz8spZ1b sx_d55a98"><u>frown emoticon</u></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Is HE in for a surprise!!!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They're calling for 25 to 30 cm of snow tomorrow.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">NOT a good thing, in my opinion....</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday, Green Gnome grabbed his head and exclaimed, "OH MY ST. PATRICK!!! Where did this Alien Snowman come from?!?!?"</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZB8QQXOmdhKfFHQHeHTdlbqT6fECAwegV52hQnEGiEtnxJHayJ5b8_l6Lj6GIZQm12yZeePad6QSkGMqLHkeoxyFw2JwcHUVHbSRsaNTl2UzX-0yNY33tkRC0ViNebKX3Bh-7vpudoSNk/s1600/IMG_0245.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZB8QQXOmdhKfFHQHeHTdlbqT6fECAwegV52hQnEGiEtnxJHayJ5b8_l6Lj6GIZQm12yZeePad6QSkGMqLHkeoxyFw2JwcHUVHbSRsaNTl2UzX-0yNY33tkRC0ViNebKX3Bh-7vpudoSNk/s640/IMG_0245.JPG" width="640" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
Now... This morning, Green Gnome was perplexed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Did the lunar rays try to
pick up Alien Snowman, during the night? And why did it leave behind
the bottom part of its body and 1 eye?"</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Green Gnome asked Granite
Gnome if he saw anything but he remained stoic and standoffish. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Green
Gnome had hoped that although Granite Gnome was all cracked up and old,
he might have<span class="text_exposed_show"> seen something. But this was not the case.</span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> The mystery plot thickens.....</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A few years back, I remember some lady called into our local radio
station and wanted to wish her brother a Happy Birthday. It happened to
be St. Patrick's Day and it was also a crappy, weather day, She said
that ever since she could remember, it was ALWAYS a crappy day, on St.
Patrick's Day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Well, we had no snow on the ground and the temps have been nice. That was this past week or two.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Unfortunately, this morning, I woke up to snow falling. </span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<span style="font-size: large;"> "HUNH??? What's up with this white crap?", I asked myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Then, around noon time, it stopped. YEAH!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And, around 4 or 5 pm, it started up again and we got the BIGGEST snowflakes coming down.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I went outside, with my new Canon Rebel and shot a few pics.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The flakes were truly bigger than in my pictures. It almost looked like someone was throwing tiny snowballs, from the sky.</span><br />

<br />
Some of you may have noticed the bru-ha-ha on the media in the past few years about how you're now greeted at stores and in public areas with a "Happy Holiday" rather than a "Merry Christmas.<br />
<br />
Apparently, somebody or somebodies mentioned that they were offended with the employees' "Merry Christmas" and, just like Chicken Little who thought the sky was falling, merchants went into panic mode and now their employees must greet us with the non-offending "Happy Holidays".<br />
<br />
Mind you, I live in a small city but not ONCE have I ever offended anyone with my cheerful "Merry Christmas", while I'm shopping.<br />
<br />
If I were to visit Jewish friends, I certainly would NOT be offended if they wished me Happy <span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;">Hanukkah nor would I be insulted if I were not offered any food while visiting my Muslim friends during Ramadan. I try to understand and accept. To each his or her own, right?</span></span><br />
<span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;"></span></span><br />
<span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;">Now... here's my rant.</span></span><br />
<span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;"></span></span><br />
<span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;">If... and this is a big IF... this is true.... that there are people out there that are offended with the "Merry Christmas".... and they've asked the stores to stop saying it.... </span></span><br />
<span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;"></span></span><br />
<span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;">Then WHY are there still Christmas decorations all over the darn stores?!?!??!?</span></span><br />
<span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;"></span></span><br />
<span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;">Oh... and let's not forget ALL the Christmas music blaring throughout the stores.... in hopes that it puts the customers in a "Christmas Spirit".... AKA open up your wallet and buy, buy, BUY!</span></span><br />
<span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;"></span></span><br />
<span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;">If the merchants are so worried about offending people, then why have the Christmas decorations and Christmas music remained?</span></span><br />
<span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;"></span></span><br />
<span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;">Because they understand marketing. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="st" data-hveid="44"><span style="color: #6a6a6a;">That's why.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #6a6a6a;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #6a6a6a;">And, on that note, I will wish you all a "Merry Christmas"!!!</span><br />

<br />
I'm sure everyone creates in their own way.<br />
<br />
Me, I start with an idea.<br />
<br />
Sleep on it.<br />
<br />
Wake up to the idea.<br />
<br />
Go to work and think about the idea.<br />
<br />
Repeat this a couple, consecutive days and finally, I put "idea" down on paper.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hoping to pick up some different kinds of "whites" .... hopefully some whites with tiny, almost invisible snow flakes tomorrow, when I go down to Mardens, in Calais, Maine.<br />
<br />
This piece will be called "My Snow Family". <br />
<br />
From the top, there's Mom and Dad. Dad will have shimmery, snowish colored Angel wings and maybe a plaid vest.<br />
<br />
Down below them, will be me, hubby and my 2 boys. They're skiing down the hill.<br />
<br />
On the next hill, is my sister, Tina and her hubby and their daughter. Haven't figured out what my niece will be doing but she'll be doing something.<br />
<br />
And, at the bottom of the hill is my sister, Sylvie, her hubby and their 3 children. The kids are sliding down the hill.<br />
<br />
My next step? Dig through my stash and pick up the appropriate different "snow" fabric.<br />
<br />
After that? Figure out the finished size I want, grab some newspaper, scotch tape pieces, if necessary to make it the required finished size. Once I have the correct size on (news) paper, then I take a pencil and draw what I want on the newspaper. Once THAT is done, I take a black marker and re-draw over the pencil lines.<br />
<br />
I start with a background fabric and start layering the different "snow hills". Machine applique those "snow hills" and then, start appliqueing the houses and snow people.<br />
<br />
Easy smeasy! But, time consuming. And most certainly fun!<br />
<br />
:-)<br />
<br />
I'll try and post some progress pictures.<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend!<br />
<br />

<br />
Beautiful sunshine!<br />
<br />
We managed to sleep in, for another hour.... And nice warm coffee to start my morning.<br />
<br />
Today's gonna be a great day! I can feel it on the back of my throat where the taste of coffee is still lingering and in the bottom of my tummy - that delicious brew has settled in, nicely. <br />
<br />
Some people drink coffee and have to chew gum or brush their teeth because they now have "Coffee Breath". I say, "Perish that thought! Bring it on!" LOL!!!!<br />
<br />
Have a great day, everyone! If you happen to smell coffee breath on me, smile and know that I am happy. <br />

<br />
How'm I doin', you might be askin' yourself....<br />
<br />
Well, most days, I stick with the veggies. These past 3 days .... I've been slowly sliding off the wagon.<br />
<br />
Today's my day off. <br />
<br />
I've got laundry goin', this morning. <br />
<br />
This afternoon, dishes. PLUS, I'm hoping to do some cooking and meal prep. I'm back at work tomorrow, for the rest of the week.<br />
<br />
I've noticed that when I haven't planned ahead of time and I have no food with me - GOD FORBID I SHOULD STARVE.... that's when my brain and Mr. Belly get together and they start talkin' pizzas and subs and... well, you know what I mean. :-)<br />
<br />
Planning and prepping is the secret to getting and staying healthy, I believe.<br />
<br />
Gotta run! Final laundry load - #4 - is ready for action!<br />
<br />
Have a Super Sunday!<br />
<br />

<br />
Progress Report - Week #1<br />
<br />
I've basically stopped juicing. Either my cousin's (borrowed) machine is just so-so or I'm too frugal.<br />
<br />
I could spend $100 to $300 to try and purchase the right machine for me, but will this make me happy? Not Sure. And I'll tell you why.<br />
<br />
I'd like a machine that would give me a dry pulp. I've done a wee bit of research on juicers and read people's comments and there doesn't seem to be the perfect juicer, out there. You know? Dry pulp AND easy clean-up.<br />
<br />
Did I mention I was frugal?<br />
<br />
I think I'd rather eat the fiber and pulp, for now. I've convinced myself that its better for me AND I'll still loose weight while getting healthier. AND, since I'm eating ALL of the vegetable or fruit, I fill up better and cheaper than just drinking a glass of juice.<br />
<br />
And compared to the cah-zillion calories I used to inhale in a day, the mere nano-thousands calories I'm NOW eating... well, those pounds are just rolling off. :-)<br />
<br />
I've lost 8 nasty pounds, in 1 week! <br />
<br />
Pretty darn good, eh? Normally, I'd have given up after 2 or 3 days.<br />
<br />
8 pounds of butter.<br />
An 8 pound baby.<br />
Almost a bowling ball weight.<br />
Almost a 10 lb bag of potatoes.<br />
<br />
Imagine carrying around, day after day, any one of the above items?<br />
<br />
Sooooo, this is Rosa's World, right now. Looking for a full time permanent job. I know the right one's just around the corner.... just gotta find it and convince the employer that I'm perfect for the job!<br />
<br />
Have a Terrific Tuesday!<br />
<br />

<br />
Well, yesterday was my first day of "Juicing".<br />
<br />
Breakfast was DELICIOUS!!!<br />
<br />
Lunch wasn't so good. No, I'm not blaming it on the food but rather on the juicing machine, itself.<br />
<br />
I was supposed to have 3 heads of broccoli, 2 pears and 2 stalks of celery, right? Well, I started with the 3 heads of broccoli. While the pulp container was almost full, when finished, I might have had 1/2 cup of juice? And, the pulp was VERY wet.<br />
<br />
Soooo, as per internet instructions, I scooped up the pulp to pass it through, once again. It jammed it! What a mess!!! Gritty broccoli stuff all over!!! And I'm thinking, "Gosh! What a waste of good broccoli!!!"<br />
<br />
When I did the 2 pears, I only got 1 tablespoon of juice... which didn't make sense at all!<br />
<br />
Soooo, drank my cup of juice and when I cleaned up the machine, I saw a lot of pear juice had pooled INSIDE one of the parts of the machine!<br />
<br />
Afternoon, I ate an apple - I was STARVED!<br />
<br />
Supper time, I eyed the machine and thought, "No, I'm too hungry and this machine isn't doing the trick for me. Let's have a salad."<br />
<br />
Soooo, I ate a big salad and brought 3 carrots upstairs with me, to munch in front of our TV.<br />
<br />
And peace was restored, within Rosa's soul and belly! :-)<br />
<br />

Hi There!<br />
<br />
This week, I watched "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1227378/" target="_blank">Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead</a>". I've been clicking and surfing on <a href="http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/" target="_blank">his website</a> and I'm convinced!<br />
<br />
<i><b>I can do this!!!</b></i><br />
<br />
Bought a whole bunch of green veggies and some fruits, this morning.<br />
<br />
Borrowed a Juicer from my Cousin Alice, this evening, and quickly nicknamed it Mr. J.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow morning, I'm a Juicin'!!!<br />

Hi There!<br />
<br />
When
we lived in Neguac and my Grandparents were still living, we had sheep. My
Grandparents would send their (raw) sheeps' wool to Briggs and Little
and, in the fall, my Grandmother would receive a HUGE package with
skeins and skeins of yarn. It was a happy moment for her.<br />
<br />
Today,
my Mom and I visited Briggs and Little and Heather greeted us, in the shop
and was sooooo nice! My Mom and I had a few nostalgic moments. Five Stars to Briggs and Little with their
"Service with a Smile" attitude and their Heather!!!<br />
<br />
Several times, on the drive back to Saint John, I told my Mom, "Gee that Heather was nice! What a great experience!"<br />
<br />
Anyhow, here's a picture of my Mom. She had problems with her eyes....
they'd "fill up", every now and then... as well as mine.<br />
<br />

<br />
I really should explain myself. The last time that I knitted something was probably 10 years ago and it was just "scarves". I made a couple pairs of mittens and socks and one sweater, when I was .... hmmmm... 21(?). That was many, many years ago.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, I've decided to re-try my hand at this.<br />
<br />
Will keep you all posted!<br />

Zelda 'n Bandit's Daily Journal:<br />
<br />
Bandit here. I'm a sensitive guy. I "feel" more than Zelda. Much more.<br />
<br />
Yesterday morning, my fur Mommy came downstairs and I had been sick in
my sleep space (AKA under the kitchen table). She cleaned it up, as is
her job, of course. Tee Hee. <br />
<br />
My fur Daddy came into the kitchen
and he started to gag. He told my fur Mommy that I smelled like
garbage or like something rotten! Well, they couldn't put me out since
it was raining and windy outside. They couldn't give me a bath in THEIR
bathtub. HELLO!!! HAVE YOU SEEN THE SIZE OF ME??? And, spraying me
with some kind of perfume would not be good for my health.<br />
<br />
Did I mention this is the first time that I had such an "aroma" about me?<br />
<br />
My fur Mommy figured it out. We had a Category 1 Hurricane come into
our city and she figures that my chakras weren't quite lined up, in my
body. <br />
<br />
Sooooo, if that's the case, let's hope that our FIRST Summer Storm will be our LAST Summer Storm, for this season, anyhow! <br />
<br />
My chakras can't take another storm.<br />
<br />
Besides.... They may be asking me to move in their Baby Barn, next time.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span class="userContent">I've recently gotten into Gellish nail polishes or "Soak Off" polishes. I have the Gellish lamp and lots of polishes and stuff.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent">This afternoon, I picked up a few more colors. I
decided to take a chance and see how the Gelaze brand works v.s. the
Gellish brand. Both are "soak off" polishes. Gelaze is not as expensive
AND the "foundation" coat is built in. BONUS!!!<br /> <br /> Fr<span class="text_exposed_show">om left to right, let me introduce to you my new colors:<br /> <br />
Gelaze - White on White. The sales girl told me this is EXCELLENT for
French Manicures. You don't need to do a 2nd coat, like the Gellish
brand.<br /> <br /> Gelaze - Re-Fresh Mint. The color is the EXACT same color as the outside of the bottle. I like that. <br /> <br /> Gelaze - Exceptionally Gifted. My collection was lacking some nice summer colors. This one fits the bill, I believe.<br /> <br />
Gelaze - Fairy Dust. This is a transparent, teeny, tiny, transparent
and sparkly polish. To be used alone... if you don't want too much
color or to be brushed onto other colors for a little "Fairy Dust" pick
me uppper!<br /> <br /> Gelaze - Shocking Pink. Once again, it looks...
well... in your face.... the same color as the bottle but it can be used
as an accent paint, or to make some fancy flowers.... whatever.<br /> <br />
Kosmic Colors is just regular polish. It was on sale for $1.50 and I
just LOVED the sparkly bronze colors. I can easily see on toes.<br /> <br />
And finally, I bought a Gellish bottle, called "Izzy Wizzy, Let's Get
Busy". It gives a transparent Mother of Pearl kind of look. I could
easily use this as a base coat of paint for a French Manicure. I think
it would look nice. </span></span><br />

<br />
Zelda here. Our fur Mommy
left for groceries this morning, came back, put groceries away and
proceeded to fill up a bag and ... well... Bandit and I figured out that
she was on a mission and we were not invited.<br />
<br />
She went on an afternoon picnic, outside, by the beach, with her
friends and came back 4 hours later! It felt like FURRR-EVER!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
We got our revenge by giving her the Sniff Test, many times over!<br />
<br />
Afterwards, I went to see my fur Daddy, laid on my back and asked for
my Royal Belly Rub. Daddy took a picture 'cause he thought I was cute.<br />
<br />
Daddy's my new friend! At least, until its time to play or eat and at
which point, I will have forgotten that Mommy abandoned us.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow's another day....<br />

<br />
I just read a post, this morning, where someone lost their cell phone and they're
now desperate. Cell phone was stolen and they're now begging for their
memory card from their phone, to be returned, 'cause they've lost
precious pictures of their newborn child.<br />
<br />
PLEASE PEOPLE - SAVE YOUR CELL PHONE
PICTURES ONTO YOUR COMPUTER!!! Put them on SkyDrive, The Cloud,
DropBox, on your computer.... ANYWHERE!!! <br />
Before its too late.<br />
<br />

Have a great day!<br />

<br />
I have 2 dogs. Zelda is a neurotic German Shepherd and we adopted Bandit, a mostly Black Lab mix, from my parents. My parents were moving in, from a country farm house into an appartment, in the city. <br />
<br />
Anyhow, from time to time, I write about them on Face Book. Thought I'd share their posts with you, on here, too.<br />
<br />
*********************************************** <br />
Zelda 'n Bandit's Daily Journal:<br />
<br />
Bandit here: Okay, I need some advice. My human Mommy and Daddy aren't sure, so they've asked me to ask you humans.<br />
<br />
My Medical Info:<br />
Senior: I'll be 10 in 2 months. That's 70 in human years for those of
you that can't do the math. I'm a wee bit overweight... still. My
ex-human Mommy said I had arthritis. My new human Mommy says that was
just Fat-Assitis. I've slimmed down since I've moved in here and can
now jump! Okay, with just my 2 fro<span class="text_exposed_show">nt paws and only for food, but HEY... I can "jump".</span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<br />
The Scenario: We went to the beach yesterday and HEY! When I was tired, I stopped and rested. I'm no dumb bunny!<br />
That stupid Zelda and her new puppy friend ran and ran and ran. But
when my human Mommy threw a rock, guess who was the fastest at getting
it, eh?!?!? YOURS TRULY!!!!<br />
<br />
The Problem: This morning, I was
all "stiff". My human Mommy had to invite me.... MANY TIMES... to go out
and do my thing. Me, I just wanted to lay down on my comfy bed. I'm outta shape. That's all.<br />
<br />
The Question: Would it be better if I stayed home while that bitch
Zelda gets to play? I mean, I love the beach as much as anyone and
their dog, right?<br />
Or, should my human Mommy continue taking me to the beach, in hopes that my muscles will get better and better... with time?<br />
<br />
Any and all replies will be read and translated into doggy woofs, so that Zelda and I can understand.<br />
And, because you've been so patient at reading my post, I'm including one of my pictures.<br />
<br />
Please disregard my white beard. I'm younger at heart than you think! <br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
