Going down my list...

I got up before 7 a.m. but only because I was having a horrific nightmare and I felt the need to distance myself from dreamland.  Even with a rocky beginning to the day, though, I did manage to get a lot of things accomplished around here.

I rearranged my sewing area in the kitchen as I felt I needed a better light at the machine.  One thing led to another and I ended up rearranging other areas just a tad.  I finished up my tulip wall hanging and started sewing some pot holders and an apron. 

I had received some really cute pictures in an email and decided to try and make postcards out of them.  I saved them to my photos, enlarged them a little and sent them to Walgreen's for prints.  They turned out pretty good so I glued them on to heavier paper and let them sit under heavy books for a few hours. 

I'm thinking I might try to make Christmas cards that way this year. Postage just keeps going up and going up, and while I always liked to send cards, I might have to reconsider this year and just send out a few photo postcards instead.  They're still 29 cents but that's better than 45 cents. Here's one of the photos I made into a card.

I've been listening to an audio book by Ernest Hemingway and have discovered that I really like the way he writes. I went to the library and got two more books by him.

I did up a couple loads of laundry, put clean sheets on the bed, and made a pot of chicken soup.  Tomorrow I think I'll kick back a little and just watch some videos or listen to books.  Have found that my foot flares up every time I try to get a lot of chores done.  I don't know what I'm going to do about this problem. It's been plaguing me since July and I thought for sure it would ease up after three months.

Not being able to walk can put a real crimp in your lifestyle. I've already been challenged with arthritis and sciatica that comes and goes on a regular basis.  The ringing in my ears is going to be with me for life, I guess.  I get a reprieve every now and then but it never seems to last too long.  I really don't care for this aging process one bit!

I got an order delivered from Miles Kimball today. Man, that sure was fast.  Unfortunately, I don't like two of the items so I'm going to return them.  The rest of the stuff is terrific, though. 

Below are some Henny Youngman jokes I got from Les Walden today. Can't share some of them as they're naughty but these made me laugh....

I saw a poor old lady fall over today on the ice!! At least I presume she was poor - she only had $1.20 in her purse.

My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker. Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend yet.

A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking behind my back. He says what do you expect? You're in a wheel chair.

I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature. She said she would like to come back as a cow. I said, "You're obviously not listening".

The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for theworst. So, I have been to the thrift shop to get all of her clothes back.

Being a modest man, when I checked into my hotel on a recent trip, I
said to the lady at the registration desk, "I hope the porn channel in
my room is disabled." To which she replied, "No, it's regular people-porn, you sick bastard.

The Red Cross have just knocked at our door and asked if we could help towards the floods in Pakistan. I said we would love to, but our garden hose only reaches the driveway.

And here's some trivia...

Caffeine increases the power of aspirin and other painkillers, that is why it is found in some medicines.
The military salute is a motion that evolved from medieval times, when  knights in armor raised their visors to reveal their identity.

If you get into the bottom of a well or a tall chimney and look up, you can see stars, even in the middle of the day.
