The gardening article was inspired as Leo and I worked on our greenhouse gardening project. Although we both have been gardening for years neither of us have ever grown plants in a greenhouse so this is an adventure.

While putting all the little seeds in the containers we discussed all the ways that a person can make money from a garden with out all this meticulous attention to detail! A woman I worked with in Roseburg sold the starts from her Japanese Maples and I've bought wonderfully healthy perennials at garage sales! I'm thoroughly enjoying writing!


Jack is busy tumbling our sunstones from this past fall's trip. They are cleaning up nicely and Jack is going to design a necklace out of this batch for me. Sunstones and obsidian needles interspersed with beads. We are planning a trip to the bead shop for Friday afternoon.


Mike is scheduled for his "interview" at Klamath County Library Main Branch on Friday also. This interview is so he can be part of the "Read to a Canine" program at the library. I was in Arizona when the original orientation was held.


Here is a snapshot of one of the places Dad and I visited while traveling the highways between Bullhead City, Algodones, Yuma, and San Diego. We are a family of outlaws...


Hope everyone else is finding rewarding ways to get through this dead time of winter!
I've really been published! Maybe not a real big deal to some people but I'm pretty jazzed about it. It's always been said write about what you know so I wrote about Angels in Whiskers. Check it out! The link to the left will take you right to it!

Let me know what you think!!

Remember Angels In Whiskers I was blogging about in November and December 2008? Well, the website I created for them is now on the web! Check it out! http://www.angelsinwhiskers.com/
Mike and Shiloh can be seen under "Our Angels"! Now you can know what Angels In Whiskers in Klamath Falls is about!

Other than that I am now busy learning some ways to make money with my skills from home! I'm excited to be working with words, not computers, and have visions of writing creatively again.

Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day! I got to "chat" with Brett in Thailand on Instant Messenger ! Jack and I treated ourselves to a Valentines breakfast out and then later Jack put together a 3 course dinner! AND he gave me a wonderful card! I, on the other hand, didn't have a card, didn't cook, and was a very bad example! Jack was definitely the chief sweetie this year!

This time last year we were floating in the Caribbean on a cruise ship! Jack was enjoying all the variations of chocolate they supplied for Valentines Day and I was in bed sick! Jack brought several little delicacies to the cabin for me to try but I couldn't enjoy them. I did have a card and present for him that I'd bought before we left for the cruise and gave it to him that morning - so I'm not hopeless - just distracted this year!

Signe and I ran the 5K Winter Wings fun run this afternoon! It used to be called the Bald Eagle Run. It was the first fun run we did together in 1996! I have no idea how long it took us - I do know only one person was behind us! The strong head wind going out was the same as it was 13 years ago! We enjoyed ourselves and finished before all the goodies were gone at the finish line! Linkville Lopers did a good job hosting the run! Next month is the Run for the Music! I'm getting back in to it!!!!
