Saying Hi and a Camper Update:

 

Hi!

I hope you’re all doing well and have had a wonderful wrap-up to your Summer and are enjoying fine weather everywhere this Fall!

I’m deep into classes—Algebra and U.S. History, which is interesting at best especially since we have such a terrible campaign for the election going on in a couple of weeks.  …but this is not a political post.

Vote your Conscience. That is all.

I really just wanted to let  a lot of you know I’ve posted several updates and post on my camper blog- Lil Camper that Could

 

Many of you visited there when I posted regularly.  We’ve made lots of progress and we’ve actually camped over night two nights a couple of weeks ago on our property.

I can’t wait to hit the road!

Thanks for popping in here to see what the chatter was about!

‘Til next time,

Be blessed!

Patricia

 

Kernels of Corn no. 10–Mid October

 

Have you ever been so exhausted AND you were SO restless and collapsed right where you were?  Is that what they mean by sleeping like a baby?

 

isn’t he precious?  Liam—was just that the other day. He would NOT go to sleep.  I finally picked him and and put him on the couch with me and let him crawl all over me, until he collapsed.  Eventually, I might have closed my eyes and gotten 10- 20- …40 winks, too!

I’m continuing the habit I picked up over the summer of drawing on a regular basis.  I started this after joining ICAD 2015.   I don’t have any formal lessons (as you can probably tell), though I do read a few blogs here and there that give pointers and there is of course, always YouTube!  (full of tips). 

If the photo of the drawing above resembles an APPLE, well, then I guess the practice is making improvement and you tube is in fact helping!

While looking for a particular set of photos from 2003—I found this old picture of myself.  I snapped a picture of it with my phone.  I cropped just the face, no point in showing all of me, BUT…  it’s true.  I’ve lost weight in the past 10-12 years!

 

…and I’ve stopped coloring my hair.  The gray is starting to come in nicely too.  Oh how I long for a silver head of hair, like my Granny!

…and I have a crate of photos under my bed really need to be cataloged, dated; with names on the backs of the pictures and put into books so that people can enjoy them!  This job has been officially added to my list of TO-DO’s! …hmmm, de-cluttering or crafting lists? …doesn’t matter.  It’s on the list!

 

I snapped this picture…(yes, it’s true I was driving)  on the way to take my grand-kids to school this week.  This sunset was amazing. Taken through the dirty wind-shield of my car just doesn’t do it justice. ** I promise not to make this a habit.  I really try not to even look at my phone while I’m driving. So don’t lecture me in the comments….

 

The last kernel, this go around;  we’re making some head-way on the camper! I was finally able to slap some paint on the inside after getting almost all the trim up.  After that, it will be screens and … oh yeah!  we got the carpet cut and laid inside! I just love the chocolate-y color!  

 

Yes… it shows every bit of dirt.

Yes… it’s carpet. IN. A. CAMPER.  Sometimes it’s just better to let the Wookie win. There is a new post here @ Lil’ Camper that Could… if you’re interested.

While I’m on the last Kernel… let me just say, how very kind you all are--- for never once rubbing my nose in the fact  pointing out to me that I’ve misspelled the word kernel ever since I started this little feature.

…AND THAT’S why I love you dear readers! well, one of the reasons.

 

‘Til next time, be blessed y’all!

He has told you O, man; and what does the LORD require of you?  But to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with your God. ~ Micah 6:8
