Life With Jules, and other stuff

Well, now we have this: Orange Blossoms to Oranges VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL  

Yeah, I have the blahs today. Actually have had them for a few days now. Don’t want to work on my thesis. Don’t want to stitch. Just sitting in front of the computer playing stupid games. Ok, no more about the blahs. They take up too much of people’s lives! LOL Loretta, a big THANK YOU for the chart from your last giveaway! I did finally receive it, after some snafu’s with the mailing and the post. LOL…all is well and arrived save and sound. Now, who do I stitch the Strawberry House for and when?!? Lot’s to decide there! I do have an “orange blossom” update! Aren’t they getting so big?!? I just hope they don’t spoil before I can ship some to one of my friends. LOL And I do have a sunset pic to share:   Look at all of that orange! We do get some of the most beautiful sunsets around here. I found out over the weekend that a gentleman whom I had the pleasure of knowing and working with in Michigan passed last week after a series of illnesses. When I left MI in 2006 ...

Yup, my Sandy is 1 year old now. She has been a joy and sometimes a pain, but hey what cat isn’t? I adopted Sandy from a local vet last summer, about a month after the loss of our beloved Mrs. Beasley . I want to take a moment to share a slideshow of our first year together: In stitchy news… I have been sick all week. It started last Friday evening while eating Jordan Almonds. I managed to chip a tooth (#14 for those who know their teeth names!). On Monday, the 19th, I went to the dentist to see about getting it fixed. What I hoped would be just a filling turned into a crown replacement. I am wearing a temp right now and get the permanent crown on May 5th. Can’t wait!!! I am so afraid that the temp will fall off and that I will swallow it. Plus, it’s inconvenient when I eat as I have to chew on the “wrong side”. LOL ! Guess this means I am getting old. Well, as the novocaine wore off, my throat became sore. I thought it was par for the course, but NOOOO! I have to go ...

Well, I have spent the last couple of days putting a ton of stitches into The Great Pumpkin Conspiracy . My goal is to finish it over the weekend. Here are a couple of pics of my progress: I also noticed that there was a flower on one of the orange trees outside my bedroom window this morning, so I went outside and took some pictures of the trees. Here are a few of them: I had never really seen an orange blossom up close until this morning. While working my way around one of the trees, I began to notice the fragrance. What a wonderfully spring-like aroma! I also noticed some bees busily pollinating the flowers. If you look closely, you may catch a glimpse of one.
