The other day at work my brain just started wondering to things I've been hearing lately on the news. I know that's a dangerous thing for my mind to be doing especially at work.   I got to thinking about this scandal with health care for vets. I was just trying to think of a different way to explain it. This is what I came up with. Governments and government agencies are so corrupt and out of touch with the real people.  You could show them a dead fish, dangle in front of their face and they will deny it is dead.  You can slap them across the face with it and they will say it never happened.  You can keep slapping them with it and they will continue to deny it's happening. They can stink to high heaven of dead fish and they will say they don't smell anything bad. So where do we really go from here? All governments are so corrupt there is no fixing them from this point. The gap between the haves and the have nots is getting wider by the second....

The biggest thing in the news right now is all those girls that were taken in Nigeria by a bunch of, lets call them idiots. I thought we were beyond that kind of behavior. Boy was a wrong. This group thinks it's wrong to educate girls. They know that knowledge is power.  I think I heard at one point that the leader of this group of idiots is Western educated.

That's the problem. What is it going to take men to see that if it was not for a woman they would not be here. They should learn to treat women the way they want to be treated.  I have a saying I think I've said before....

I was going to post on May 1st the picture I took of the swing that day but time was not on my side that day. So here it is. Finally the snow is gone! Yeah!!! Now if it would only stop raining so things can dry up. The trees are starting to bud out so I'm hoping within the week leaves will start popping out. I like green things. I also finished another project. Want to see? It's another coaster set. There are two for each pattern. So there are eight. It would be perfect for that person you know that likes to sew. Well that's what I've been up lately.  So for things I've been pondering , well lets see where do I start. How about the weather. All that heavy rain they got in Florida this last week. Wow! It rained here too the last week everyday. But it was the slow kind of drizzly kind. The husband said he heard someone say that we got about 5 inches in the last week or so since it started raining.  Now the middle of the...
