Well it's been over a year since I started recording pictures of my swing.
Here is the picture of the swing on the first of February.


Here is a picture of the swing last year.

Last year at this time we had a lot more snow, as you can see.
South of here a hundred miles or so it is snowing.
South and East they are getting hit by a big storm. It may not be snowing here but it is cold and windy.
This is the time of year it is easier to tell the differences in the years.
I might also over time do somethings around the swing to help tell the different years.

I have also completed a couple of projects. Here they are.

This little guy is suppose to hang on a door knob. The husband said I could put magnets on it and put it on the fridge. 

As you can see they are scarecrows and crows on a kind of wooden wreath. It should have a bow on it but right now I don't what color to put on. What do you think?

As for things going on in my live, I've been busy helping with the Community Theater next production The 25th Annual Putum County spelling bee. I don't sing so I help out back stage. The date for the production is Feb. 12, 13, and 14. You could make it a date night for Valentines Day.
Another thing I'm trying to work on is a Bridle shower for my youngest one. It's slow going but I hope to get my act together soon.
I did get a new car. It's an Impala. It had less then 7 thousand limes on it when we got it. It has to last me a long time.

That is the excitement in my life right now, how about yours?

I suppose I have to include a ponder so I would like to ponder the fairness on how people get tax refunds. Why is it someone like me who plays by the rules and is not on any government programs gets very little back, while someone who is working a forty hour week and no more and is on all kinds of programs with to many children they really don't raise right can get over 10,000 back? I would like someone to explain the logic in this PLEASE!! 

Well that's about all I have for you today. 
So till next time.
Keep on pondering the pondering possibilities.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

Image
The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
