Ponder Pages

I know I've been gone for awhile,but I do have a good reason. I was in a production of "The Foreigner", put on by our local community theater. I was Betty Meeks. I'm the one on the right. It was an excellent performance, if I do say so myself. I just wish more people would actually show up. I always say that the people in this town live here, work here but don't want to do anything else here. Someday, I hope, this town will see what is right here and want to invest more in it. Oh well, as Betty would say, "Real life is awful hard sometimes."  I also finished one project while I was away. As you can see it's another tissue cover. It's been done for awhile. We even used it on the set.  I'm working on the next two because they are a set. I'll post them when they are done. There was allot of things that happened while I was playing around. Does it really pay to say anything about any of them right now that has not alrea...

You ever have one of those mornings, especially on a weekend morning when you don't have to get up early to start your day, when your brain wakes you up with a bunch of different things running through your head?  That was my morning right now.  During the week when I work I get up at 4:10 am. The weekends are suppose to be a time when I can at least sleep until 6 am maybe, right? Not this morning. I suppose your wondering what kind of things are running through my head? Well they are very random things. Ranging from things in the news to running lines through my head from the play I'm involved in. ( The Foreigner. I'm Betty Meeks) to things I've got to do around the house. That kind of stuff. And while I'm trying to get my brain to settle down, the birds outside are already singing up a storm. Maybe because it's not raining, finally. Then after awhile my bladder starts to tell me it's time to get up, now. So after about almost an hour of trying to r...

Another tissue cover. This one could be for maybe a boudoir, bathroom or any room that has a kind of Victorian kind of setting. I'm going to warn you right now. It could take me awhile to get the next one done, maybe.  Why you ask? I will be in a production for the community theater. We will be doing "The Foreigner". I'll be Betty. So I've got allot of lines to remember and rehearsing to do. But maybe when I'm working on lines alone I can work on the next project.  I could say something about the weather but what can I saw that has not already been said. All I will say is I hope all are safe and are able to recover and live safer from this day on. Mother nature will do, what mother nature will do. So till next time. Keep on pondering the pondering possibilities.

Mother nature has really been doing a number on us lately. Anything and everything has been  happening in big ways.    Tornadoes in the middle of this country.    Flooding in Texas. We had frost the other day. Compared to last year that is a big change. Last year at this time I was able to wear shorts and tee shirts and still be hot. This year I'm still wearing long sleeve shirts and pants. Plus right now it's 43 degrees outside. We will be lucky to see 65, maybe. I could be wrong.  People want to say it's global warming, I say it's a natural thing the planet does all by itself. Plus we should be keeping track of earthquakes and erupting volcanoes. They can effect the weather more then people do. Not to say some of the things we are doing are not affecting a little bit. But not enough to cause the drastic change we are seeing now.  Here's a ponder for you; Say the earth is at the end a cycle and changing into the next one. It has ...

   This is an old scrapbook that someone put together. Most of the news paper pictures and other things are from about 1936. I think from time to time I'll try to post something from it. Things are glued in this book on both sides and the book is bigger then my scanner.A couple of things were not glued in so they will be easier to scan and post. Allot of the pictures are from the winter of 1936. It you want to see allot of snow, boy did they have it back that year.  This time I'm going to post a poem from this book.    It maybe hard to read so this is what it says. The Rubberneck (Sent in by an Ogema reader) There was a rubberneck, once on a time, That was always eternally on the line. No matter if she was snug in her bed- she'd have to hear what the neighbor said. So out of her warm nest she'd spring, Whenever she'd hear that phone ring. A breath of scandal, by the way loses none of it's flavor, so they say When over the wire it h...

  This is my latest project that I finished this weekend. It was a very simple one to do. Right now it's in my living room.  Now onto number seven.  Six down only 95 more to go. Till next time.

   This week of coarse we all heard something about the three women who have been missing for 10 years and were finally found. All being held by one man in what I can assume was a house of horrors for those 10 years. It is very hard to even begin to imagine what they went through. My heart goes out to them and their families. They have a very long road ahead of them to begin to feel like a human being again. I just hope the media will respect their wishes to leave them alone. So to the media I'll just say follow the rule of when they are ready they will come to you. Do not pressure them with money to come to you first so you can be the first to talk to them, just to have the bragging rights.  As for the thing that did this to them, ( I refuse to call him a human being) he needs to be sent to that isolated Island and let mother nature teach him a lesson that he will never forget. I've added one thing that this Island would have. A very unstable volcano along with d...
