Well my friends, I guess Spring might really be on the way by the looks of these pictures that I snapped today!
It is so nice out that I decided to go for a walk. I wasn't too long because I haven't been 'out walking' all winter! I'd probably pass out if I suddenly tried a LONG walk!!
Good Day My Grandkids!!!
I haven't come up with anything good to talk about and I know it's been quite awhile. So, I thought these pictures, showing off my Skyrim and pictures I have taken there, might do for right now.
Just to show you that I haven't forgotten about you, and to show you why I love Skyrim so much!!
In my heart no other game will ever pass this one!! So here goes; enjoy!!! :)
Like what you see? It's only a bare minimum of what all makes up the game of Skyrim. If you've never played this game then by all means get it!!! If you DO play Skyrim, stop rushing through it and slow down.. explore.. wander.. there's so much more to the game than rushing from quest to quest.
Enjoy!!!
Thanks for watching,
Shirley
Good morning everyone!!
I was just sitting here drinking my coffee and eating some bread and jelly, wondering what I wanted to do first today after taking care of all my emails, I decided to make another Blog! :)
I also didn't know what to do so I will show you some pictures I have. Maybe next time I'll write a little short story. Haven't done that in a while. Do any of you remember the 2 or 3 I wrote on here in the past? Let me know if you did. If you scroll down you will find them.
Okay, here are a few pictures:
This was a horse carving on a stump.. you can sit on the seat.. which my son and I found when we were out walking with Luigi, his dog. I didn't have my phone with me so he took this picture for me. I hope you can enlarge it! It is so cool!!!
Here is one:
Oh man I hope you can enlarge this so you can see it's mouth and up higher it's eyes! So cool!!!
Well, I guess that all for this time. How about a little story next time??
Shirley
Hello all my Gaming Grandkids!!
I thought I'd show you all the different pictures of ME which I have been send.. my character in Skyrim!! I have my own house and I did all my own dialogue, which was done two or three years ago. These picture were done by a viewer or several (sorry, I forget) Different ways I was changed by mods, I guess, within a game.
Anyway, I love them and wanted you to see them.
Every once in a while I hear from someone that they have me in their Skyrim games. But it seems that most people don't know that I am a character in Skyrim with my own house, and that I did all my own dialogue.
Just thought I'd present this to you all for those who didn't know.
I want that armor that's in the 3rd picture from the top!!
Thanks for coming by and I'll post something different next time I get the chance.
Bye all you fun grandkids of my Skyrim games.
Shirley
This is Saturday and I am babysitting my granddog, Luigi. He is longing for his Mommie though, but they won't be back until tonight. So, I have him all day. We will go outside when he has to go, and to play if we get the chance. Meaning, if the day is free of rain.
Here are a few pictures of the sweetie!!
But here in this picture he is playing "King of the Hill" LOL
It's getting close to me wanting a snack.. like crackers and cheese... He will probably want something too. I have his own food and I have snacks for him. He can't eat a snack off my food!
Well that's all for this time.
Probably later on we will both be running around outside in the wet grass!! LOL
See you all next time... Bye!!!
Shirley
I know, it has been too long... again! But, I'm here now, so please don't be tired of waiting.
Today I want to show you something new that I bought. I think that the ones who come here to talk to me are mostly my regulars from my YouTube channel. So those of you will probably realize that I'm a Christian... I've said a few things on there once in awhile.
So, to anyone interested, I wanted to show you the coolest Bible that I bought recently. I will show you a picture first before I say anything else:
But what I'm intrigued with is how much this helps in understanding, if you are studying, even if you just happen to want to study one particular Book within the Bible, or one particular idea.
The reason I became so fascinated with this particular study Bible is how much clearer it is making the Book of Revelation. I have tried studying through this Book before and it seemed to be more "mind boggling" than anything else, for me. I couldn't keep it in any kind of 'order'.
In this study Book, he has added labels at the beginning of the chapters AND even through a lot of the chapters, he has broken it down and added labels or headings. It's made it SOOOO much easier.
I'll show you a couple of examples of the helps he added on so many of the pages:
Here, the next two shows explanations, just some thoughts aside, etc.
I was so happy with this that I just thought I'd show it for anyone who might have been looking for something like this to actually 'help' in a Bible study.
Well, just wanted to show this off for anyone who may have been look, and to say Hi!! to everyone again, let you know I'm still here! LOL
Don't know what I'll find to talk about next time, but I'll try not to let it be so long!! :)
Shirley
Well, first off the moving went quickly.. BUT.. the unpacking has not! lol I worked hard at it but was getting so tired I had to slow down. Today has been a nice relaxing day so I decided to jump on here for a it.
(I made a video also, which will be up on my channel on Monday!! )
Today I'll see if I can find some interesting or enjoyable pictures to show you.. until I get time to take pictures of my own to show you. :)
You have probably seen all of these pictures of me before!!! To bad! LOL Got to put up something on here so you won't think I'm abandoning you!! LOL
A few years ago when made a video for Halloween!
Okay I guess that's enough!! lol I'll be taking some new pictures soon. Just wanted you to know I was still here, just busy! :)
Later, Shirley
Hi Grandkids and Everyone Else!!
It's been awhile before I got back to here!!
My daughter-in-law and I went to a craft show, with booths set around in a circle, under the sun and under trees.
All of the booths had the usual things, jewelry, wizardly things, crystals, stuff like that. They are all so similar that as she looked through them I wandered off and looked at old buildings that people had dismantled and sent there and was re-mantled! They were really cool. Some you could go in but most were locked.
Here are the pictures that I took. Not many because I was busy looking in windows! lol
I don't know why they would have painted that bright Red on that first one. It detracts from it's old look. But I liked the crooked boards of that outside wall!! :)
Well that's all for today!!
Hope you drop me a comment so I can talk with you!!
Shirley
Good morning my friends! Thought it was about time I got something new up for you all to see. Maybe next time I'll write a little short story like I have done before.
I'm going to show you 3 really cool things...
Later,
Bye!!
Good morning grandkids!!
About time for me to make another Blog!! I chose these two pictures to show you because I think they are unusually beautiful!!
This first one is so lovely because it isn't the usual green and pretty colors of a Peacock... it's totally WHITE!!!
I'm wondering if that is natural for him or if he is an albino, and mostly lacking in color. Anyway, I think he is gorgeous!!!
This next picture is of a Spiney Flower Mantis!!
Those circles on the two wings are to look like big eyes, to make predator's think he is a bigger creature than he is, and they will leave him alone! :)
Now, he's all white and looks like the peacock, only this praying mantis got a little bit more color. But he's just so fluffy and gorgeous! He doesn't look like any of the other mantis's I've ever seen!!
I just had to show you these two unusual, white beauties!!
Hope you enjoy seeing them...
I certainly do......
See ya!!!!
Good morning everyone!!
You gotta see this critter! He is the laziest little dude I've ever seen. Looks like me some days when I just don't want to do anything!!
A lizard... not sitting or walking on a branch... He's just HANGING there!! LOL
I used to go gold panning.. so much fun. But that was with my last husband, and many years ago. We would go 4 times a year, spring and fall... before kids got out of school and after they went back to school. The reason for that was because we liked the one particular place and if we went when school was out, it was crowded with people, but when we went no one was there but us!! It was wonderful!
Here is a picture of me down at the river 'doing my thing' lol
I didn't have a good camera way back then so sorry that it isn't very good, but, that is me gold-panning. :)
We kept a box in the back of the camper that had our gold pans, old sneakers to wear in the water, bug repellent, bandanna to tie back my hair, tweezers, and little skinny bottles with cork stoppers to drop the little specks of gold into. Those things were always there just in case, at anytime we decided to do this.
Speaking of bug repellent.. there were some bees there that I loved! There were some sweet-smelling plants out in the water and these bees loved it there. But when I sat down on the edge of the river, they came over to check me out. They would sit on my knees and it was like they just watched me pan, even pretty dragonflies would do that.. they'd sit on the edge of my pan and watch. Of course I would talk to them and the bees. Some times the bees would sort of bumble up and down my legs, just checking me out!! They never, ever stung me!! They were big fat ones but they weren't Bumble Bees.
When we pulled in somewhere, my husband would start setting up the camp site, but I would grab my pan and stuff and run down to the river!! I couldn't wait! lol After awhile he would call out to me, 'coffee's ready'! I'd go back and he'd be sitting on the picnic table, the radio playing some cool music and sipping his coffee.
At the place we wound up at most often there was a limb hanging from a tree right close to the picnic table. When he would turn the music on, even if we were sitting right there, the birds would come and sit on that limb right by us and just sing and chirp with the music. I thought it was amazing! That's why it was my favorite spot to go to... and because of the bees and dragonflies! lol
I am so hoping I can find a picture or two from back then to include on here. We shall see. I know I did have some stuck in a folder on my PC somewhere.. besides the one at the top of here.
We would of course have our dog Duke with us. I'll post a picture of him too. He was big! Once when he was gone on one of his adventures he came back stinking like horrible garbage and we wondered what he had gotten into!! We started in the direction he came from to check it out, and he took off and showed us where he had been... an old, long-dead dear! He had been nosing around in it.. wallowing in it, I think!!!
We had to get into the river, all three of us, and get him cleaned off!! Of course later on, while I was floating around on a raft he thought it would be great fun to dump me off of it, which he did!! LOL He slept inside the camper because I didn't want him getting into trouble during the night!
Well, I have hunted and hunted for the pictures I wanted to show.. one of my dog ... but I can't find them!!!
I'm going to go for now..
Hope you enjoyed this even without the pictures...
See you next time.............
Good morning everyone!!
I haven't been feeling my best.. just tired and 'funky' LOL! So, I think I'll show some pictures of my younger self and say something about them.
Here is one when I was in grade school. One of my followers on YouTube saw this picture and colorized it and sent the two back to me. He did a good job I think. He hadn't seen it in color but he got the hair right . The dress I had on was actually yellow.
In this one I'm quite a few years older! And there's a young picture of my Dad. I think we look like daughter and father, don't you? Well, maybe not. (I wanted these side by side but it won't go that way!!) That was a really young picture of my Dad.. I called him daddy though. lol Look at all that hair I've got!!! I had a sister-in-law about that time that talked me into getting it cut short!! I cried and cried afterwards!!
There is only two things I remember about my Dad.. one was when he rented bikes for us at the park and he taught me how to ride, and the other was taking me to a movie and we had ice cream. That's it. I can still picture him exactly how he looked that day!!!
In this one I'm several years older again. I hope you can click on this and enlarge it. I can.
I gathered all those rocks (and plants, which was illegal!), one by one as I took the 4 boys on rock-scouting walks in the desert surrounding us. (They helped me collect them) I loved that desert better than anywhere I've ever lived!! If one of them handed me a rock I would thank them and tell them how pretty it was, then if it was just a plain old rock, when they ran on ahead, I would drop it. They never knew. lol
One of them fell into a cactus once.. that wasn't fun!!! The youngest one was a toddler and I think it was him who fell into the cactus.. poor little guy!!!
Do I talk too much when I get on here?? ....
I'm going to go for this time...
I'll be back later on....
Good Morning Everyone!!!
It's another one of those beautiful days we've been having here!! Gets hot during the middle of the day but that's okay, I'm inside and busy then.
Here is a picture of our fountain. I can sit on the patio and look at this or, inside with the door open I can slightly hear it, which is nice.
In the spring, by the time they ever get this cleaned and filled and turned on I am getting quite anxious.. like, hurry up!! LOL But, they painted the inside and outside this year so it looks so new and fresh and clean!!
The birds LOVE playing in the spouts of water! It's like they are having fun flying through it, back and forth. I love watching them. Of course they also sit on the edge of that black center piece, dipping their heads to the water to take drinks.
It is more comfortable to sit outside to enjoy them, but I usually stand in my doorway for a while enjoying them. Why?? Because of PEOPLE!! Kids either come out farther up the court and the only way they know how to play is if they are screaming! Also, there is a guy about 4 or 5 apts. up that loves to come out in the best part of the day (when I want to sit outside!!) and turn his radio on blasting loud as though he thinks all of us wants to hear it!!! I just pick my stuff up and go back inside and SLAM the door. But he doesn't care!! lol
If it's not that, it's some other person has to come out from across the way, on the opposite side, and venture over to "chat" (asking questions about my YouTube) "Sigh" .....
And of course almost everyone has a small yapping dog, which I can't stand, because, when they are out there all they want to do is bark!!
Here is a picture of the fountain when winter came early last year and it had frozen before they emptied it and turned it off.
At least this is where I get to sit out on my patio once in a great while!!
Well, I guess I'll go and do something 'useful'...
I don't know what......
but, I'll think of something.....
See Ya' !!!
You gotta' see this everyone!! Hope you can enlarge it
I don't know who took this but I'm so glad you did!! I can't remember how long I've had this.. from wherever I got it.. but just found it again in my "stuff" and had to put it on my two big screens! I wish you could all see it on them in real life!!! .. GORGEOUS!!! LOL
I've got a few others I want to use but I don't know when I'll ever be able to change this..
I'm. In. Love. With. It.!!!!
Okay, that's enough 'gushing'....
Sorry. lol
