Ponder Pages

We can finally say goodbye to 2016. This has been a year that I think most are glad to see end. So many almost unbelievable things happened. I don't think I have to list them, do I? I know I had a down feeling at the beginning of it and I guess I was right. 2017 for me I think will hold many good things. First I will become a grandma in June for the first time. Maybe that's why I feel it will be a good year.  Or maybe something else also will happen that will help me stay in high spirits. What it will be is any ones guess. As for what could happen in other things, well it will be a very eye opening year for many others. Things and people are never what they look like from a distance. Sometimes they are worse. Sometimes not so bad. I'm hoping common sense will be back in style. Lies, fake news, and half truths will not be focused on so much. To sensationalize someone else's pain to bring attention to you, is the quickest way to attra...

Another year is here. How was 2015 for you? Mine was really not to bad. My youngest daughter was married. The rest of the year was fairly calm for, compared to how a lot of people's lives. Before I get into any pondering's let me show you the swing from today. I was thinking about having the pit going when I took the picture but it was early and we had plans to go somewhere, which we did, so You'll just have to settle with a non fire pit burning kind of picture for the first of the year. Now here is the one from last year: Well we did have more snow last year. Now here is the project I did get done for Christmas: It's not from the book. My son-in-law saw something like it on "The Big Theory". So my daughter asked me if I could make one. It's a tissue cover. I guess it's something a geek or a fan of the Rubix  cube would like to have.   As for how my holidays were well, it could have been better. I had a bad attitude for th...

It's the beginning of a new year. The last one, as usual had more challenges for the world then we saw coming. I'm sure this next one will be more of the same. I don't make resolutions. I may have tried somethings last year but I didn't keep too many of them. Making changes in your life can be done at anytime.  One thing I am sticking to is taking a picture of my swing the first of every month. I started this in February of last year. So this next picture is the first for January.   As I was taking this picture it was lightly snowing. The temp was about 12 above zero. This weekend it's suppose to get below zero for awhile, again. Next month you will be able to see the differences between last February and this one. That is one thing I will try to keep up with. Showing you the difference of the beginning of every month from year to year. Over time you might see differences I might want to do some changes around the swing from time to time too.    One ...
