Hold on tight my friends!
Friday is National Donut Day!!!!!
What better reason to have a donut.
What kind of donuts do you like?
I like glazed, long johns, and lemon
filled.
Where do you buy your donuts?
We have a "Mom and Pop" type
store we like but we are not
opposed to Dunkin, Krispy Kreme
or the grocery store is pretty good
too.
Enjoy and Happy Friday to all!
I am off to some garage sales.

Today I want to pass on
an idea from a fellow
blogger.
Karen at Elderberry Street
(see my sidebar) was out of
town recently and it was chilly
where she was and did not have
a jacket with her. Now being the
smart woman that she is, she
headed over to Wal-Mart thinking
they might have a sweater or
sweatshirt left over--NO LUCK.
So what does one do now? Well,
off to the fabric department she
went and picked up 2 yards of
t-shirt knit fabric and used it as
a shawl!
Now how smart is that and it is
so cute. (See her current post
and the picture at the end) Her
hubby called this her "McGyver
moment." I could of used this
idea several years ago while on
vacation.
In communication back and forth
with her she said she also picked
up a denim shirt on the clearance
rack. I told her that she was lucky
that they still had a fabric depart-
ment as our Wal-Mart got rid of
theirs years ago,very disappointing!
Back to the fabric--imagine the color
possibilities one could have with this.
She does recommend that 2.5 or 3 yds
would work well also.
So if you are going on a trip, hitting the
beach etc. grab some t-shirt fabric for
a lightweight shawl.

I can't believe that
Memorial Day was two
weeks ago!
I wanted to show you
what we had for our
holiday meal. It was
so simple!
Menu
Grilled Beef and Chicken
Kabobs with peppers and
onions on the skewers
with the meat
Corn on the Cob
Potato Salad
Fresh bread from the
grocery
Simple Table Setting
Plates(faux paper plates)
Target-3 years ago
Spring paper napkins-JoAnn's
this Spring
Glasses-Fancy plastic ones
from the store deli :)
Tea lights--LED flicker
candles-Ace Hardware-last

Potted Geranium
Secret: The plates look
like paper ones but they
are NOT.They are the Melamine
plates. I have three sets now.
Red, Green and White. Love them!
My tea lights will be great for
Fourth of July too.

On Wednesday, I posted several
questions related to blogging.
I appreciate your feedback. It is
always interesting to see another
side.
One of my followers commented
and asked if I would answers
my own questions so, here goes:
1-Has blogging changed recently?
Yes, I think it has. For many
reasons bloggers have either
moved on to something else
or have pulled back on their
posting schedule.
I also feel that all the rapid
changed that Blogger has
a tendency to do frustrates
some.
Of course, there is the new
fun place to be: Pinterest.
I think that has pulled a
lot of bloggers in that
direction.
2-Have your comments
dropped off?
Yes, I think they have.
Probably for some of
the same reasons that
listed in number one.
I enjoy comments from
everyone. Especially if
a particular post has been
helpful.
I know that some prefer to
just read and to comment-
there is nothing I can do
about that and I just have
to deal with it. My stats
may say I have 7 comments
but it also says how many
have viewed a particular
post. Sometimes I wish that
the same amout of visitors
would equal the same number
of comments. One day I'll
get over it.
3-How do you feel about
Followers?
This is something I really can
get hung up on. I have been
blogging for almost 4 years
now and I guess I feel like
I should have more followers
than I have. (I just got 2 more!)
I should take a page from Shug's
book and be content with what I
have.
I do enjoy meeting new people
and getting to know everyone.
4-How do you feel about Pinterest?
I would really like to pin BUT
I know what I am capable of. I
spend enough time blogging so
I can't imagine the time I would
spend on Pinterest AND blogging!
The other day, I considered drop-
ping my blog and going to
Pinterest but I can't do that, I have
a very emotional connection to
my blog. You'll find out
those thoughts in another post.
5-What are your frustrations in
regards to blogging?
When Blogger decides to mess
with stuff.
Commenting numbers.
Sometimes it is hard to load
pictures.
I am sure I have more but my
brain would like to go to
sleep right now.
Thanks to all of you who
gave your honest answers!
