• Reporting in … LE

  Hmmmmmm 3 weeks since my last entry. 

  I have been busy, reading, writing and rithmitic, personal time, sudoku, photography and trying out new restaurants.  Last week an Indian Restaurant meaning India.  I know their cuisine can be wonderful.  Not this spot, everything prepared and tasting the same, all very hot with red curry.  I like curry but I also like variety.  We won’t try it again and am sure they won’t last.

  1- I have been updating the Friendship Indiana site I built for them.  
  2- I am trying to update my photo xanga regularly meaning weekly as the weekly challenge are given plus a couple of extras from monthly challenges. 
  3- Microsoft Word and Publisher:  My sister Jeanne does a lot of writing having some published work concerning Alzheimer’s care givers and also Christianity.  I am working on one of her projects with her.  She does the writing and I am supposed to do the publishing preparations meaning using Microsoft Publisher and Word.  Not being as knowledgable as I’d like to be with those programs I am having to do some learning and am using a few words Jeanne wouldn’t approve of.  What she wants is half size pages printing 4 pages on a sheet using the front and back so it comes out about the size of a greeting card.  Unless I find a template for exactly that I am in for a lot of work.  Thanking God it isn’t one of her big projects.
  4- Xanga comments, I do comment here and there.  I apologize for missing someone who thinks I shouldn’t.

  Movies, we are doing our Christmas shopping a little at a time.  Gifts include movies for everyone.  I purchased a set at Sam’s for $27.00 and Amazon listed it for $45.00.  I am going to use large M and M plain packs to add to my single disk gifts for both of my sis.  We all crave a bite of Chocolate and wrapped with a Christmas bow they will look festive.  What else will be included will depend on what I see that grabs me.  Some great places to shop, TJMaxx, Sams Club, Amazon.com, Bed Bath and Beyond, Bath and Body Works, and Cincinnati Murray Brothers Old Time Store for herbs, candies, spices.  They don’t have a website I can find.  The store is tiny and cram packed with goodies in glass cases to be measured out just like years ago.  We love to shop there during the holidays.

   

  VOICE An EDIT:  If you appreciate a real voice you have to listen to this from Britain’s Got Talent:

  Xangans, We are meeting this lovely lady Sparkling_Rainbow on Sunday for lunch at the School House Restaurant and playing with our camera’s.  They are another small business without a real website.  I am looking forward to the visit.

  This is an Appleby’s Restaurant near us.  Their decor is pretty busy so fun to play with.

   

  

  I should call it the View of the Headless as the image at the left looks as if his is gone.  I think he was leaning over as I haven’t been able to bring it out in the photo.

   

  Family:  My daughter, Halie is doing some fun things with her photography.  She likes to live dangerously.  She lives somewhat dangerously with her camera.  You can check that statement out by visiting her site for some verification.   Eden is busy with school and extra activities.  It’s hard to keep up with what goes on.  I do know she has a lot of irons in the fire. 

   

  I hope everyone is well.  Have a great week.
  Becca
