….the cataracts are gone! Well, that may be so for my mom in a few hours. She’s getting her left eye done tomorrow morning. Seems she went on a crafty shopping spree this afternoon at JoAnn’s as she needed more yarn. I had gotten her interested in crocheting again and she’s doing a triple crochet stitch afghan for my niece. I had seen some pretty wavy pink yarn in a box that she said she was getting rid of it. I brought it back here and started the afghan. She got the hang of the stitch and she’s doing good with it! This pleases me to no end. I have to go around 12:30 to pick her up and will probably stop to get some lunch first. Wish her well…your vibes really help!
I was a cleaning fool today. Did the kitchen floor, some of the hardwood floors and vacuumed. Yep, paid for all that activity with sore spots in my back. I guess I need to get it checked out, though it doesn’t hurt everyday and doesn’t keep me awake. I hate to think it’s arthritis, but it’s a possibility.
I was trying to think of some questions for you guys. Here’s a few to start with and please answer if you want. It’s a survey for me!
When you upload photos, do you keep them on your computer, print them out or store them in a place like Flickr?
I keep them on the computer briefly, but upload to Flickr. I also burn them on a disc. I haven’t printed out photos for a year!
Is your husband or significant other the same religion and political party as you?
We are the same religion, but different political parties. Sean chose what I follow.
Do you ever cross bridges to see friends or family?
We do cross over the Brandywine River to see our parents who live in different areas.
Have you eaten liver in the last 5 years?
No way! When I worked at a daycare center in 1979, they had liver about once a month. The kids hated it and I couldn’t eat it. What a waste of money. If you want kids to have iron, there are other things they can eat. However, my mom, uncle and late grandmom ate it all the time!

Cool survey!
I upload photos to Snapfish, after I load them onto my external hard drive. I usually burn copies of photos every six months and delete them off the hard drive. I do print out photos to send to my ILs and my grandmothers.
DH and I are registered for the same political party and while we were both raised Catholic, we are non-practicing.
We cross several bridges on the PA turnpike when visiting family
I LOVE liver, but DH hates it. He doesn’t even like anything cooked near it. I probably last ordered it in a restaurant about 2 years ago, but nobody makes it like my grandmother did in a cast iron skillet with bacon and onions.
Sending positive vibes for your mom’s crafty goodness, Dianne! š
I save them on my computer and about once a year I put them on CD’s–always on more than one just in case something happens to the first one. Once I feel that I have them all safe, I delete them from my computer.
Different religion and usually different political parties. We often cancel out each other’s vote.
I cross the Mackinac Bridge all the time…sometimes I meet family members up in the UP, but they don’t live there. Does that count?
No liver in the last 5 years. When I was younger I loved liver and would even order liver with onions and bacon in restaurants. I used to go to one restaurant just for their wonderful liver pate. Now I don’t touch it.
Neat survey!
I hope Mom is doing well.
I pray that your mom’s cataract removal surgery went well today! Hopefully it will have been a complete success and she’ll be able to see so much better now. How wonderful that she’s back into crocheting, it’s a great way to pass the time!
As for your questions:
I save mine on the computer for a few weeks and then burn them on cd. I always check to make sure they burned successfully before deleting them from my computer.
Same religion, same political party.
To get to Niagara Falls we have to cross two big bridges:-)
I haven’t had liver in over 30 years!!
