SOMETHING NEW

I resisted changing to the new Blogger look.... Well what do you know, Blogger has a new look AGAIN.

 What a surprise this morning when I clicked on my blog and my first reaction was, "Oh no! Don't tell me that even though I  chose not to change to Blogger's  new look it came to me and I have to get use to this new look, grrrr.  It will take some getting use to it. I'm a terrible creature of habits.... I haven't figured out if I like it yet. I don't know if it's better or not, just different right now.

Everything looks so bare naked. Maybe it's better. I'm slow to change, must come with age.
I see the settings are on the right of the page which is a good thing, I suppose.

Well now that I've got my shock over with, let see if I still can do my thing...

Now there's my little man posing for a picture before going to the museum. I'll admit to being bias but I think that is a very handsome dude.


How nice to be able to talk to daddy on Skype even though he's miles away.......  Hooray..., daddy is coming home today after being a week away. James hope that  grandpy is feeling better soon.


James is playing at the kitchen party at the museum with friend Alex..


Mama distracted me while I'm trying to prepare dinner.




James love his dinosaurs magnets.


Now is time for serious reading.  






Look what mama found on Kijiji. Now James will be able to play with his beloved trains without knocking the tracks down.  Good move mama. 



James being fitted for a prosthesis. 


Being inked  is not really a tatoo I guess but heh, I got inked... did you?




Now the plaster mold is being put on, while Daddy is holding James. What a good boy he is.


Now my review regarding Blogger. Well what can I say.... uploading pictures is super fast and easy . No more having to go to the side to scroll to the top of the page to find the  picture icon, eliminating an annoying step.   It's much better than before.  I like this part.

The sun just came up after a weekend of downpour. I like that too. I wonder if Blogger has something to do with that.     

Have a great week, stay safe and healthy friends and thanks for stopping by. Leave me a comment and I'll like that too.  JB

I'M VISITING PATRICE TODAY, COME WITH ME...

I have a confession to make. I'm somewhat  computer illiterate and haven't been able to copy and paste Patrice's questions on my Mac so when I don't have the time to write all the question, I don't visit.

I've been having a tight muscle in my back so I've been up since 2:00 am. Let's go see if she has the porch light on or the coffee ready, he he.



                                       Here are the question she was asking today.
1. What was the last big event gathering you attended? Wedding, funeral, graduation, party, riot, etc,)
   On Friday I attended a funeral for my husband's aunt. She was 100 years old.

2.  Do you switch over your seasonal wardrobe, wear the same thing year round, have a huge closet to put it all in or throw everything out and buy new each season? I threw the last one in to see if you were paying attention.
   I have my pants and shorts, long sleeves tops, sweaters, sleeveless all folded  on shelves in my walk in closet  so I just pick what is appropriate for a particular day. Some days I go from long sleeves turtle neck and change to sleeveless as the temperature changes.  I dress for comfort most of the time.

3. What sweetener do you use most often?
     Sugar or honey in baking. I never add sweetener in my cereal but add raisins instead.

4.  Slippers, socks or barefoot?
    Slippers on cold floor,  I used to go barefoot a lot but now my feet hurt sometimes and I use slippers more often, sandals in summer.

5.  What questions would you like me to ask the group over the next few weeks?
   a.  Do you make your bed as soon as you get up in the morning or just make it later or leave it messy?
   b.  How many hobbies do you have?
   c.  What bad table manners drives you crazy?
   d. Do you have a good sense of direction when driving in a strange place?
   e. Do you often think of others before yourself?

You can pick which ever question you prefer Patrice.

I hope that you have a great week.  JB
