I've been busy up here on "witch mountain" (as one of my beloved followers has so appropriately dubbed this sub-division) with sewing projects. I'm really pleased with the bathroom curtain order because I had to come up with a design using these chosen fabrics. Also made 6 reversible place mats and matching hot plate holder. Took my sewing sign down because the rain got under my little pictures and caused the color in the photos to run. Word-of-mouth is working so much better.

We went to the gym this morning then used a $3.99 coupon for all-you-can-eat salad and pizza at Downtown Pizza. I like this place because it has a great salad bar and very different kinds of pizza. Cliff likes to eat here because you don't have to leave a tip. Sounds like Dad (Grampy), doesn't it?

Rainy, drizzly today with a cold front coming in. Will be very cold later this week. Hayesville is having their Punkin' Chunkin' Friday and Saturday. The other night the Science channel featured the national Punkin' Chunkin' contest for 2008 (I think). I was amazed at the contraptions built for this event. The time and energy put into the catapults used to throw is fascinating. It's a big event in many states and the history behind the contest makes it more intriguing. Will bring the camera and get some great shots to post.

Ok... You went to the gym this morning and then used a $3.99 all you can eat salad and pizza coupon?

Sounds like my kind of workout!

 I may repeat things I've already posted.  It's not due to age. I'm too lazy to go back and  reread what I blogged previously.   I've joined the Murphy Health and Fitness gym that's located right across from Konhete Park where I walk so I can swim now too.  I didn't realize how much I missed being in the water.  The other gym, Erlanger Fit Plus membership runs out in September.  Cliff and I belonged to it since moving here and it has a great rehab program that both of us have used at different times.  One time I asked a therapist about knee discomfort/pain and he showed me ways to strengthen quads and leg muscles to prevent knee weakness.  Cliff did PT a few times for back discomfort due to belly pulling on his back muscles.  After the PT a patient get a free month at the gym.  We did Zumba and yoga classes together.  But now I need to swim.  Pool is heated when the temperatures cool down.   Our mornings have bee...

 My laptop was down again............... I finally got Cliff's Davis Vantage Vue weather station up and running.  The Weather suite is now communicating with the wall console.  I found his collection of instructions, quick set-up guides, and manuals all neatly placed in a large plastic sleeve.  This afternoon I called tech support to get help on the last bit of instruction that I couldn't figure out.  The tech was so understanding and went through the last steps I needed to do to get the station console communicating with the outside suite.  Now that it's working, it makes complete sense to me about what I needed to do.  I was so happy that after I thanked him and hung up, I cried.  I felt my connection to Cliff through his technology love.  Now I can watch the wind speed and note the rainfall and feel him here.   A few weeks ago I joined the Murphy gym because they have  pool and I really miss swimming.  It's been difficult to...

 Our last cold spell is this weekend, the blackberry winter. I got to the Murphy farmers market by 9 this morning to buy a bag of fresh crisp spinach and a huge head of butter crunch lettuce which will last one person two weeks.  Fresh greens go quickly and our small market has only two farmers right now.  My plan was to walk the river loop after the market but the wind picked up and a cool misty rain changed my mind. I have "empty nest" syndrome again........... I slowly walked over to the nest to check if the babies were still inside the nest and caught this one sitting on the edge.  When I came back with my phone it was hiding but I took the picture and as I slowly walked away it jumped out of the box and flapped to the porch floor probably thinking "monster alert!"  It hopped around the floor flapping but not becoming airborne.  I left it lone so parents could tend to it, took the Toyota and went to Lowe's.  Lowe's was so mobbed with mulch and plan...
