All Things Iris: Kindle Fire and Library books
http://allthingsiris.blogspot.com/2013/07/kindle-fire-and-library-books.html
Tuesday, July 9, 2013. Kindle Fire and Library books. Now remember, I'm about 3 years older than dirt, and I'm not up on ALL the new technical stuff though I do try and stay current on many things and have a reasonable knowledge of "some" things technical. I just haven't posted anything here. So, I have a Kindle Fire - it's the first generation fire and I got it not long after they came out and I LOVE IT! I can check email, facebook, browse the web (if there's wifi), but mostly I just read books on it.

All Things Iris: We're Not Promised Tomorrow...
http://allthingsiris.blogspot.com/2013/08/were-not-promised-tomorrow.html
Saturday, August 24, 2013. We're Not Promised Tomorrow. Though we always act like we have all the time in the world. I've said this ever since my dear husband died, and then when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. But, we get complacent in our busy living and forget! I'll do that tomorrow. Well, this lesson has been brought home to me in a very real way this past week when I lost a dear friend quite suddenly. She was busy living life and had all kinds of plans and expectations for the future. Simply hov...

All Things Iris: March 2011
http://allthingsiris.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 25, 2011. I've long felt that men designed most of the purses around (I apologize to those ladies who make the fancy handbags with their names on them) as I don't ever think I've found one that I truly like. And believe me, it wasn't for not trying. I love purses and I've bought lots more than my fair share of handbags and purses - only to get them home and discover; they were too big, they were too small, I couldn't find anything in them, and on and on and on. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY MARGO!

All Things Iris: February 2014
http://allthingsiris.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 2, 2014. Has it really been that long. Since I posted here? Yeah, guess it has. Just can't seem to make this a regular part of my activities. I know, priorities! So, I guess it just isn't up there these days. I do manage to stay busier than I thought I would at this stage of my life, and I guess that's good. I surely never get bored and always seem to have a list a mile long of things I want to do. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). To Pin or Not to Pin. Please do, I'm flattered.

All Things Iris: Kitty cat update
http://allthingsiris.blogspot.com/2013/07/kitty-cat-update.html
Wednesday, July 3, 2013. Thursday, 7/4/13 - now there's good news AND more good news. Boots is back home. He arrived about an hour ago - ate a bowl full of food and is now sleeping soundly in a living room chair. He's lost weight, but otherwise seems to be okay. Well, there's good news and there's bad news. Is that Boots is missing. He's been gone since last Friday (5 days today). He's ALWAYS there in the morning for breakfast - even if he had a 'treat' earlier (he's a hunter). He spent time Frid...Well,...

All Things Iris: January 2012
http://allthingsiris.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2012. I've just finished my latest "Lazy Girl" bag - this one is a Candace and made large enough to hold my new Kindle Fire. Time will tell if I like it as well as the others I've made. I received a tote bag for Christmas that I really liked the fabric and style, but it wasn't quite big enough, so I took it all apart, used the Lazy Girl pattern and made modifications to suit me. I even used the handles from the tote. I think I'm going to really like it. Wednesday, January 11, 2012.

All Things Iris: April 2013
http://allthingsiris.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 27, 2013. Front porch update on a THIN budget. This is my new stylin' front porch look:. I grew up with a porch swing on both my grandparents front porch's and hubby gave me a swing a number of years ago for my birthday. It was in the yard for awhile, then moved to the back deck - but was never used as much as I'd like. I LOVE it on the front porch - it's on the far left in the picture below. Have you priced deck furniture cushions recently? I even bought some flowers (now if I can just r...

Tuesday, February 26, 2013. She IS a deer, but I'm sure she thinks she's a goat. I've posted pictures of her before, but she's considerably closer to the house this time. And, I've decided if she's staying (and I hope she does - it's such a blessing to me to see her), she must have a name. I've chosen "Willow". Just seemed to fit. It's mostly just been a big unsightly hole in the ground since then. But, we've had a pretty wet winter and so far there's still water. Saturday, February 16, 2013. Heard Frost...

All Things Iris: March 2013

Tuesday, March 12, 2013. Well, that's what I want anyway, though I can't find anything that really appeals to me. I've loved this template, but can't seem to make it do what I want it to lately. and the right column is 'jumping' on both my computers so I'm guessing it is on everyone else's too - REALLY annoying. Obviously want something to do with irises - wasted most of this afternoon looking around online. So, it's frustrating. but then I get frustrated easily these days it seems. Need a new coffee pot!

All Things Iris: May 2011
http://allthingsiris.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 13, 2011. Birthday Present from my kids. Okay, is is a longer story than you might think, so bear with me. My kids went together and got me a new range hood for my birthday. The fan on the old one was shot and after 21 years, the old one looked, well - old! So, new it is. I was pretty excited about sprucing up the kitchen and finally having a fan that worked again. These pictures are obviously all "after". Now, my only way to cook, or more importantly, make coffee. Son found some inexpensive ...
