Going...Going...Gone

Wow. I never thought I would leave Blogger, but here I go. I have everything pretty much up and running at the new place, so if you've enjoyed my little rants and observatons, and the stories of this grumpy granny and her handywoman wife, then I hope you'll follow me over there and let me know what you think.

Otherwise, it's been fun, and I have learned a ton o' stuff and made some wonderful blog friends who I hope to meet one day IRL--you know who you are!

TTFN,
GG


Almost Done

Well, I've been testing things over at WordPress and while I still don't like it as well as Blogger, I think that I'll be switching over. I'll miss not having my slideshow, and probably can't put my moon widget there (sigh), but I do feel like I'll have more control over my privacy, etc. and that is a good thing.

So, if you want to check out the new site and comment on it, it's right over here. I'll also be able to add separate pages and tabs, which I never figured out how to do in Blogger.

I look forward to seeing all of you there!

Peace,
GG

Almost Forgot

I put this on my FB page, but not here. G and I are featured on QueerEyeCandy today! You've probably seen the photos before, but check them out anyway!

Happy days...

Something May Be Going

The deciding factor really is being able to password protect individual posts. And add pages easily. So, I think I may be following some of my blog friends over to WordPress, which would be here, which right now is just up to date with this blog minus this one post.

I'm still thinking about it, but right now I have to go watch Lost, which is just about how I feel contemplating all this.

More later...somewhere...

Remembrances

Today is my 2nd husband's birthday. Had he chosen not to drink himself out of this world at age 44, he would have been 51, but even so, wouldn't still be married. Though it's nearly impossible to think that he has been dead for nearly 7 years.

Tomorrow is my mother's birthday. She would have been 77.

In a lot of ways, they reminded me of each other.

Perhaps more on these later.

Monday, Monday

Sometimes things do work out. I was supposed to be working today so that I could take Wednesday off to take G to a dental appoinment at the VA in Denver to check on the progress of her getting permanent implants. However, we were looking at the paperwork last night, and she noticed that the letter we thought was a confirmation of that appointment was actually a CANCELLATION notice! Yay! Still, I worked for a couple of hours earlier, just in case that letter was a mistake, knowing the VA. But we've just confirmed it, so I can kick back the rest of the day. AND, as I watched through my little basement window, the weather got darker and darker, even though there had been a little bit of weak sunshine this morning, till it was snowing to near-white-out conditions. I've added a few pics, and used a flash on a couple of them, so you can see the snow coming down, and some of our avian visitors...

Happy, Snowy, Monday,

Our poor peach trees:


The finches are really getting red--you know what that means...

The redwinged black birds are a bit too big for this feeder--but they don't let that stop them!


Snow in the medicine wheel:

And in the newest garden in front (bye-bye lawn!):
And, our snowy porch:

Happy Cowboy Hat Day!


Last week, Tina threw down a challenge to wear your cowboy hat this week. Well, here's mine. It's not "quite" a cowboy hat (I'm the one with the scarf), but the folks in Spain definitely called me a "cowboy" when I told them I was from Colorado, so I guess it counts. This is the best hat I've ever had and I love it to bits. If you like it, it can be found at the San Diego Hat Company along with many other fine chapeaux.

Happy Hat Day!
