The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

Snoopy! Always My Favorite!

Well, no cute and fun stuff for today, to be honest shopping as a contact sport kinda scares me! I will resume Fun Fact Fridays next week. We did watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade yesterday, that is a true tradition in my world. Eldest granddaughter enjoyed it with me, but little sissy didn’t get into it too much yet. There’s always next year! ;) But in the mean time, where ever today finds you, stay safe and happy, and have a great day! Now if you have any shopping adventures you would like to share, please do. I love a good STORY about shopping. :) To tide you over here are a few links to some of last year’s posts. Have a wonderful weekend! Angela

Fun Fact Friday 11/18/2011

18 Nov
It’s Friday! Time to check out some odd-ball news, quotes I like, a few strange facts and some things that might make you pause and go “hmmmmm.”Karl Slover (L), Margaret Pellegrini (C) and Meinhardt Raabe (R)

 Picture Credit: Yahoo News

Another Munchkin leaves for Oz: ‘Wizard of Oz’ Munchkin Karl Slover dies at 93. The 4-foot-5 actor died of cardiopulmonary arrest Tuesday afternoon in a central Georgia hospital. According to friends, as recently as last weekend, Slover appeared at events in the suburban Chicago area.

Karl Slover, born Karl Kosiczky on September 21, 1918, was 21 years old when he auditioned for the “Wizard Of Oz” movie, and in the process met the other 123 little people with whom he worked through a grueling two month production schedule. “Standing four feet four inches tall, I was the smallest Munchkin,” recalls Karl. “I couldn’t even reach the doorknob.” He is best known for being the first trumpeter in the film but he also was one of the Munchkin soldiers, the only sleepy head boy in the nest of Munchkin eggs, and, one of the singers who led Dorothy down the yellow brick road. He had four parts total. After completing the “Wizard of Oz” he joined the “Original World Famous Singers Midget Show” and sang and danced across America. He also appeared in several movies. His advice to having a long life–”Just do the best you can. Enjoy what you have. Enjoy where you live. Most of all, remember what Judy Garland said in the movie, There’s no place like home.”

Another great article about Mr. Slover can be found here at Yahoo News.

Fact Finders

It took less than 6 months to film the beloved 1939 movie version of ‘The Wizard of Oz’. Filming began on October 13, 1938. It ended on March 16, 1939.

Many of the Wicked Witch of the West’s scenes were either trimmed or deleted entirely, as Margaret Hamilton’s performance was thought too frightening for audiences.

During the haunted forest scene, several actors playing the Winged Monkeys were injured when the piano wires suspending them snapped, dropping them several feet to the floor of the sound stage.

The horse of a different color in Emerald City palace was colored with Jell-O crystals. The relevant scenes had to be shot quickly, before the horses used started to lick it off.

The Wizard of Oz ranked #1 on the American Film Institute’s list of the 10 greatest films in the genre “Fantasy” in June 2008.

A personal fact for me, this is my all time favorite film.

Quotables

Wizard of Oz: Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

Scarecrow: I haven’t got a brain… only straw.
Dorothy: How can you talk if you haven’t got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don’t know… But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking… don’t they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you’re right.

Cowardly Lion: I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do! I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do! I do!

Wizard of Oz: to the Tin Man: A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others.

A Humorous Note to end with:

Judy Garland won a pint-sized Oscar Juvenile Award at the 1939′s Academy Awards.  She referred to it as the Munchkin Award.

A prayer from the Holocaust – Grateful Monday 7/18/2011

18 Jul

Anne Frank and friends

I am sharing a very touching little prayer that was reported to have been found in a Jewish concentration camp after World War II. When I was in school, the Holocaust was a part of history we studied off and on in several grades. I was always deeply touched by so many of the stories of the heroism during that war, World War II. Until I started studying the history of it, I didn’t realize how many people the Nazi’s interned in their death camps, not only Jewish people, but also Polish people, gypsies, homosexuals, Russians and even Jehovah’s Witnesses. It was a dark and shocking period in the history of humanity. I hate war, but I am so glad our country stood up in this time and joined the war effort and stopped the atrocities that were taking place. The Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC is a strong reminder and testament to the suffering and victories of this war.

This little prayer is a tender reminder that it’s up to us whether we bear good fruit or bitter fruit in hard times. I can’t imagine living through life in a death camp. Yet this prayer is not angry or bitter, but an encouragement to look for good in any situation.

O Lord, remember not only the men and women of good will, but also those of ill will.
But, do not remember all of the suffering they have inflicted on us;
remember the fruits we have borne thanks to this suffering —
our fellowship, our loyalty to one another, our humility, our courage,
our generosity, the greatness of heart that has grown from this trouble.
When our persecutors come to judgment, let all of these fruits
which we have borne be their forgiveness. – Author Unknown

Forgiveness is not an easy thing. We want vengeance, we want revenge. We want retribution. But the truth is that unforgiveness and bitterness don’t help you, they hurt you. Physically, your heart can develop problems, your blood pressure will eventually rise too. Your body will eventually gain weight from the emotional baggage you are carrying. Care about yourself enough to forgive and let go. There are many stories of forgiveness and heroism available from that period if you search for them.

Corrie Ten Boom

This list of gratitude is pretty simple today:

1. I am grateful for heroes of service.
2. I am grateful for heroes of suffering, not that they suffered but that they have endured and overcome.
3. I am grateful for the history lessons I learned in school.
4. I am grateful for forgiveness.
5. I am grateful for the many men and women who have shared their personal stories over the years.
6. I am grateful for Corrie Ten Boom, and Anne Frank and her diary.
7. I am grateful for the things I have learned personally from studying these heroes of the past.
8. I am grateful for prayer.
9. I am grateful for the many sites on the internet now that pop up when you look for ‘Heroes of the Holocaust.’
10. I am grateful for God’s plan for my life, and the lives of others. His plan is full of love for us, even in our darkest hour.

Unfortunately, the choices of others often affect us. The choices Hitler made affected millions of people in his time, and a rippling effect remains today. History is doomed to repeat itself unless we remember it, and remember it correctly. Remembering is also a way to honor those events as well.

Is there a part of humanity’s history that touches you? Please share in the comments, I would love to hear from you. Until next time, Angela

My First Anniversary!

12 Jul

You & Me

So, I’ve been doing this blog thing for a year now….can’t believe it’s been this long! Time flies, right? I have really enjoyed flexing my writing skills, and I also like that I write on a variety of things. I’m so easily distracted it helps to be, oh look! There’s a squirrel! Sparkle! Yeah, uh, where was I? Oh yeah, variety. :) Let’s hop in my blog time machine, created just for this special event, and take a look at the month of July 2010 for this blog. All aboard? Ok then, let’s go!

July 12, 2010 – Holding on, Letting Go – This was my very first post! I poured a lot into that first one. I have never meant to hold on to so many things that were either bad for me or just plain not useful. I’ve been working on this along with other things this year. Resentment and hurt are costly baggage to carry around. I’m happy to report it’s better for me now than then, but I’m just till a work in progress. How about you?

July 15th – In Overdrive, Overwhelmed and Frustrated - A post to remind me what I need to do when I am overwhelmed. List making works for me, learning and remembering to be nice to myself is a fine idea too. I tend to be very hard on myself. I see a few of you do too, hmmmm…. I also introduced you to Heartmath and Bonnie Tollison. I have since hired a life/career coach to help me too though. :) I didn’t think I needed one last year.

July 19th was Where Has All the Weekend Gone? It was just a short note, and mainly I wanted to share a pretty picture of my iris that had bloomed. I still usually wonder where has all the weekend gone? Some things never change!

July 20th I wrote Our Lists….. I was part of 31 Days to a Better Blog challenge hosted by TheBlogFrog. Our assignment for that day was to write a list post. So, I decided to write a list post of lists. It was fun to do, and I have been working on some of my ideas from that post. I now have a movie page here that I review and list the movies we’ve seen, plus has a few oldies that I love mentioned on it. I haven’t gotten around to my Johnny Depp list yet, but I will one day! I have also started my 101 goals list mentioned in number 8 and that will be a whole post or two by itself one day soon! I really liked this post. It helped me create what my blog is today.

July 22nd – The Walking Wounded. This post was an introduction to Ann Voskamp and her blog, A Holy Experience. We all experience pain, and her posts were helping me walk through some of mine. This was one of my posts just sharing my heart. Her posts are also where I got the idea recently to have the Grateful Monday posts I have written. She has a l-o-o-o-ong list that has now become a book, and lots of what she shares is very tender and inspiring.

July 26th – Lightning, Thunder, RAIN! -A personal look at some of my storm experiences and my love of them as well. I love to watch a storm! As a child storms usually frightened me a lot, but for about 25 or so years I have loved them. I love watching lightning in the distance and hearing thunder. I have been at home when it has struck my house, as I shared in last year’s post, so I know the damage they inflict. But the calm afterwards is so peaceful and serene. And who doesn’t love the smell of fresh rain hitting warm earth? I love them and am fascinated by them. Go figure.

July 28th – Yard Sales Anyone? -This was the tale with pics of my latest adventure with said yard sales. Always love to go, don’t always find the time. We’ve only been able to go twice this year. Love me some yard sales though, the only kind of physical shopping I enjoy. Well, that and a great thrift store. Otherwise, take me to the internet please. I so don’t want to go to the mall!

July 31st – Excuse Me While I Vent – My venting tale of stealth bombers. No, not the flying kind. The driven kind. People who drive around in heavy rain with no lights on and their vehicle is gray, black, dark blue, dark green, and even sometimes white.. You cannot!!! see them! It was a heavy rain day and we had lots of trouble driving. So last post in July 2010 was me fussing about all of them! And a little about menopause…. If you’ve been around all year you know the fun I’m having with that too. :) Good times, good times!

So, time to hop back into that time machine and move us back to 2011. Hope you enjoyed the trip! I certainly love having all of you along for it! Until next episode, Angela

Grateful Mondays…6/27/2011

27 Jun

Before we begin my grateful list, I want to announce the winner to my Blog Bash giveaway. The lucky winner is: Anja M. Anja, you have 72 hours to contact me, or another winner will be announced. A big thanks goes to all who entered and to Family Approve for sponsoring this linked up giveaway. :) Now, on to the gratitude list!

1. Glasses! For those of us with vision impairment, they really come in handy. I like being able to see! I have terrible vision with out them and having them makes life much more enjoyable and easier to handle. Having them also helped me enjoy our vacation more.

2. I am very grateful for the vacation we had a few weeks ago. We both really needed it, and I have had to remember one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss again: “Don’t be sad it’s over, be glad it happened!” I am glad and grateful it happened.

3. Things I am grateful for related to my vacation: The sound of the surf, the water lapping up to the shore and pulling away. I love that sound.

4. Another Beach memory: Seeing the lighthouse in the distance. Knowing that the ocean has tried to wash it away, but some are trying to save it now. I love to see it standing there, watching out over my beloved ocean.

5. The warmth of the sun combined with the breeze of the ocean. Last year we didn’t feel the heat and ended up cooking ourselves in the breeze and the sun. This year I became the sunblock nazi to keep us covered and protected. :) You can get a tan with 30 sun block. I know, because we did.

6. I’m grateful for Boyfriend finally being able to rest and relax. We were driving his car on our vacation. It broke down on the way out of town. Within an hour we had his car headed to the repair shop and were in a nice rental. He was thankful that I could make all that happen so quickly, but he was unsettled by it. A day and a half later, he was finally able to relax. Vacation went much better after that. :)

7. I am happy and grateful for the wonderful food we found at a few of the eateries at Folly Beach. The pic I am sharing is of Tuna Nachos at Rita’s. Yum! That is the best word ever for their food! It’s a fun place to hang out too. If you’re ever at Folly you have to check it out!

8. Patriots Point! Wow! This is a wonderful historical site to visit. We climbed all over the USS Yorktown, a retired aircraft carrier. There are lots of retired planes as well, and many touching stories retold in all the letters and documents that are on display. There is also a submarine open to do a quick walkthrough, it was TIGHT! Not at all what the movies look like, let me tell you! It is the retired USS Clamagore. There are pictures below of us crammed into it. I love the look of all the old dials and charts. We had a great time playing around with stuff. It was a fantastic part of our trip.

9. I am grateful for the natural beauty in that area too. We saw tons of seagulls, pelicans and quite a few egrets. There were tons of cute little hoppy birds I don’t know the name of, they make me think of the little birds in the movie Nemo that hollered: “MINE! MINE! MINE!” when a fish was on the boardwalk. :) We didn’t see any dolphins on this visit, but there’s always next time!

 

Seagull Parking

10. Memories of my flower loving Grandma, pronounce Gran-maw. She was part Cherokee and loved to be outdoors. I know I get my love of anything blooming from her. I may be almost 50, but I miss my grandparents regularly. I hope those of you who still have them with you are able to enjoy time with them. When I was tiny and just learning to walk, I went on my first beach vacation with my family. Somewhere there is a picture of Grandma chasing me down to the water, :) . I immediately loved the ocean, and my family had a hard time keeping me out of it…..my dad still talks about it. If I ever find that picture, I’ll be sure to share it with you.

Vacations and memories of them and family are good things to be thankful for. Hope your week is starting off well, let me know what you’re grateful for today. Thanks! Angela

The View From Sydney

15 Jun

The world was treated to a rare display of full lunar eclipse on Tuesday night. The eclipse lasted for over 100 minutes in parts of Asia, Europe and Africa, making it the longest since 2000 and one of the longest on record, according to NASA. The picture I’m sharing is of the blood red moon people in Sydney, Australia were able to see during the event. We will have to wait a few years to see another full eclipse over the US. It will be visible mostly from New Jersey in April 2014. So maybe we need to plan a trip up north to get a good view. :)

Granddaughter and I found a pretty good YouTube video of the event too. There may be more available by the time you read this blog, but we could only find a few. We liked this one.

I have always been fascinated with events like this. When I was growing up, my dad would let us climb up on the roof with him and lay down on a blanket to watch the stars. We watched an eclipse this way once, as well as falling stars 2 or 3 times a year. If we found out some other celestial event was going to occur, we would get that blanket out and get ready for our adventure on the roof! It was a lot of fun.

Do you enjoy these types of things? Did you have special rituals you and your family did to watch them? My parents always had a wonderful sense of adventure. We enjoyed lots of wonderful trips they planned out and did all sorts of things growing up. I’m glad enjoying the stars and lunar events was a part of that.

Well, I guess I’ll go start planning my trip to New Jersey. :) Maybe my dad will go with me and we can find a roof to watch it on. G’nite! Angela

So There Was This Pencil On The Floor…..

24 Mar

I have been busy! I have several pictures to show you of the bias tape being ironed out from that lo-o-o-ong piece of material I made a few days ago. I am having a few technical difficulties posting my pics, so please bear with me if the placement seems awkward.

My biased point of view

I started out with a 4 inch wide strip of cloth I described a few days ago. You fold each side in to meet in the middle and iron flat, with the wrong sides of the material to the inside of the fold. So that is the picture you see here.

The long of it...

It was a lot of material as I said, and it was very difficult to iron it all correctly. It wanted to pile up in the floor off of the ironing board, so I resorted to pinning one end down to my board while I continued folding and pressing towards the other end. When you have this step completed, you then fold the tape in half and iron again to bring it down to about a 1 inch width. It took a little time, but a few steam burns later I had finished my bias tape! Yay!

Next I will begin sewing this long piece of tape to my daughter’s apron….we are getting closer and closer to a finished product! I can hardly wait!!!

Now, you are asking…..what does all this have to do with a pencil? Well, a few years ago I lived in an apartment in Upstate SC. Working on this bias tape has reminded of an apartment story I would like to share. It was a large, nice basement apartment. It was very open and well lit with high ceilings, didn’t feel like a basement at all. I was out in the country too. It really was a nice apartment.

One day I decided to take my bath in the early afternoon, I had been outside working in my yard and needed to bathe very badly. I am near sighted as well, but of course don’t wear my glasses while in the tub. At the time of this story I didn’t wear contacts either, just glasses. :) This is an important point. I started my water, stripped off my dirty clothes and of course laid my glasses on the counter to climb in my tub. Only I forgot I had the tea kettle on, and when it started whistling at me, I jumped out to turn it off. Turned the stove off, moved the kettle, problem solved. Back to that bath, yay!

Walking back to the bathroom, I thought I caught a glimpse of something move at the edge of the bathroom door. I started stepping into the room, but suddenly stopped. Why? Because the pencil I thought I saw in the floor started moving away from me….very quickly! I jumped back as well, not sure what in the world I was going to do completely naked and half blind! I squinted around, thankfully knowing where most things were in my small bathroom, at this point including the snake. I reached over as far as I could and grabbed my toilet brush, and then reached under the sink for a trash can I had there. I threw the trash in the sink, and again reached out  pinning the little critter to the wall as best I could with the toilet brush, and scooping the offender inside the trash can, I quickly carried can and snake out my front door into the yard.

I look down into the can, I guess checking that I hadn’t lost the baby king snake in my short walk down the hall. Yep, he was still there. I could see his tiny little tongue whipping out tasting the air every few seconds. I ran all the way across the yard. I decided it was time for a new trash can anyway, and then threw the can and snake into my woods. Then I remembered…… I was naked! I had just jumped out of my tub a few minutes ago…..ooooooooooppss! :D

As I said earlier, I lived in the country. As far as I know no one but Mother Nature saw me in my Birthday Suit. Unfortunately though, it wasn’t the end of my adventure. Over the next 6 days I had 7, count ‘em, 7 baby king snakes slithering around with me in that apartment, some in my pantry, some in my kitchen, some in my living room. Thankfully none of them ever made it into my bedroom, as far as I know. Le sigh. Let’s just say that I’m very glad I don’t live in that apartment anymore. I like my new house just fine.

Grandma’s Briefs had a fine story of unwanted critters that prompted my remembrance of today’s story. They got to play with scorpions, yikes! So far everyone is ok. So, what about you? What strange and crazy creatures have you happened upon? Any bug stories to share? I bet there are some real creepy crawlies in somebody’s history! I can’t wait to hear. :) Now be warned, my next picture might disturb you a little bit…..

My Days as a Snake Handler...

What am I doing with this picture you ask? Well, several years before my king snake adventure I worked at a zoo. I led educational shows for the visitors and this is a picture of me with one of the python’s. No, that’s a boa constrictor. I didn’t like my king snake visitors, they were inside my house and uninvited. But I did like working with the big snakes at the zoo. More importantly, I was wearing my glasses….and my CLOTHES! These snakes never paid me any visits inside my home, or I wouldn’t have been as fond of them either. :)

Hope you have a lovely uneventful weekend! I promise, no more snake pictures. Not even bias tape snakes…..Angela

March 6th…..

My Beautiful Mom

This is my mother’s birthday. She died over 20 years ago, she was only 54. If she was still here she would be 77. I really miss her sometimes. It was bad the first 3 years after she died, but is only occasionally hard now. We had a very interesting relationship. We actually fought a lot over things. But I knew she loved me even when we were having a throw down…:). She didn’t get to see my kids grow up, but she knew my 3 kids before she died.

The last year or so of her life was spent taking treatments to fight cancer. It was an awful year in many ways, the chemo made her very sick. But it was a wonderful year too in that she and I resolved all our relationship issues. I was also having several health problems, so the plan we decided on had me helping her and dad get through her treatments and recovery, then when I had to have surgery the next year she would take care of me while I recovered. That was the plan. Unfortunately that’s not how things worked out and on February 7th that year we had to say goodbye to her. It was a long year after that. I remember watching the trees turn green and leaves start to come out on them and wondering what in the world was wrong with the trees? Just because nature wanted time to move on didn’t mean I did. But it ignored me and turned from winter to spring, from spring to summer, and so on and so forth until we get to this day.

I had a great mom. She was a very loving and dedicated person. She drove the school bus when we were kids, and she was really good with the kids on the bus. She drove the bus for church, and again was very good with those kids too. At her funeral several adults shared their stories of mom being the reason they chose to be in ministry, or how she was the inspiration for the paths they chose for their life. I’m glad they were there to share. It made the day mean more to me, and is nice to remember all these wonderful things about my mom.

Mom was a seamstress. She could sew long perfectly straight seams. She made clothes for many people. She started quilting a few years before she got sick, but didn’t really ever finish any of them. I do have a couple of things she made for me or my girls. I’m glad I do. I can’t sew like she could, but that’s ok. I sew like I do. That’s the best thing for me.

I have a wonderful dad who is still here. We have dinner at my house every so often. My daughter cooks, because she is the better cook by far. :) We will sit and laugh watching my grandchildren, his great grandchildren. They climb all over him and talk and play. We have a great time when we are together. I’m glad I’ve still got my dad.

How about you? Did you have a great relationship with your parents? I honestly didn’t think me and mom had a great one until I thought about her not being here. We figured out a lot of things in that last year, so I am very thankful we had that time together. We had a lot of fun too. I hope you have had some fun times with your family recently. If not I would highly encourage you to plan something soon. Take advantage of what you still have.

Seams To Me

On another note, I will finally be starting to make that long awaited apron today. I have to cut out the material later and see if I  can follow the directions for it. The book is very detailed, and this is the first project I am making from it. Hopefully it will all go well.

I am using black and white fabrics because that is what my daughter wanted. :) I think it’s going to look very tailored when it’s finished. I will show you how I do it as well. I also have the material to finish my lap quilt and start the new quilt I will be sewing, so pictures are soon to follow. It should be a great sewing month. The materials are shown below.

Life in Black and White

 

I will be using the same sampler idea for the new quilt that I used with my lap quilt. It will be a lot larger though, a king quilt is what has been ordered. I was already planning a queen size one, so I have adjusted the idea a little to accommodate the king size. I’m sure the quilting will be tricky, but I will figure that part out when I get there.

So, hope you enjoyed getting to know my mom a little. I’m glad I like to sew. It helps me feel connected to her still. You all have a great day, and I’ll talk to you soon! Angela

1-11-11

11 Jan

Today is 1/11/11. The eleventh day of this year 2011. The date also holds the honor of being one of just 12 binary (composed of only 1′s or 0′s) dates in 2011, one of the few years capable of producing such dates. It would seem to be a mystical date to some, for me it is an interesting date but not necessarily mystical. However it is interesting to me for a personal reason. That is because I date Binary Man.

I sweetly named Boyfriend Binary Man early on in our relationship. Why would I do that you ask? Because he can read binary of course. Yes, the 10101111000110011110101111000011111000 stuff. He can read it. It serves him on his job to be able to do this, and I think it’s a cute fact about him. So this is a date he should understand. :) Unfortunately due to lots of snowy weather we didn’t get to spend it together. But we will see each other later this week. Yessireebob! You can bet on that.

Another binary date for this year is 11/11/11. Really some people do put stock in these kinds of dates having mystical traits or as being lucky or good for karma. Me, I like Friday the 13th’s. They always seem to work out to be great days for me. I also seem to have a lot of things happen on dates in November, and have several friends with birthdays that month. 11/6 of many years has been a very bad day for me historically in my life, by no common circumstance, just strange coincidence. What about you? What dates seem strange in your own historical past? Any reliably good dates? Any strangely bad ones like mine? Curiouser and curiouser I seem to be, odd and strange facts can be fascinating. Please share any good ones with me. I can’t wait to hear.

So, back to Binary Man. My big sweet boyfriend with the mind for numbers. Me, I do alright but I certainly DON’T read binary. As I said it helps him with his job sometimes, at least he isn’t a fashion designer. I don’t think he would get much use of his unique talent then. Love you honey!

So, short and sweet tonight, dear ones! Hope you are having a peaceful week! Me, I will be counting my 1′s and 0′s until I see Boyfriend. I count those to fall asleep now, they don’t make as much noise as sheep. :) G’nite! Angela
