News of the Day

August 7, 2014 by Marlendy

HELLO ALL! I AM SO DISORGANIZED AT THE MOMENT!
I had misplaced my entry words to get into the blog.
I did not want to start a new one as I was afraid I would
loose all the information on the old one.
My trip was not all good, had a nice time at Louise’s one day
paper doll party, enjoy visiting with old friends and
making new ones.
The day before leaving for the Richmond paper doll convention,
Marilyn was rushed into the hospital for surgery. SHE IS FINE AND
ALL RECOVERED NOW. But of course she missed out going to Richmond.

My daughter and all the female members of her family came up to
Marilyn’s and spent the day with us. WOW those that had been
little last time I saw them, about 5 years ago now had families
of their own. I have a photo of the 5 generations on face book,
next time Korey is home from college will ask him to post it here
to share with all of you.

Still not quite sure how to handle this retirement yet, been going
thru boxes and weeding out for now. Well that is all for now, see you
tomorrow. God Bless you all!

Things don’t always work out as planned do they, glad it all turned out ok in the end. As for members of the family you don’t see often enough, they do grow so quickly. At my sisters 70th birthday we met a few that we hadn’t seen for years. I’m 74 this year and I’m still catching up with myself, crafting, gardening amongst many other things. My husband and I do enjoy life though so that’s the main thing. God Bless and keep it coming, I do enjoy reading your blog.

Glad to hear from you! I’m semi retired but it still took me a bit to get used to not having to get up and get work done. Now I just take my time doing stuff and believe me I have plenty to do. I can now finish all those half-finished craft projects that I started.

Marge asked me to leave a message. Lightening, yes lightening, hit her computer and it died. She has not left this blog but she will not be able to post until she gets a new computer. It may be awhile. If anyone would like to call her, ask me for her number. If I know you, or get Marge’s ok, I will give it to you.

Hi, Marge. Hope you have access to a computer even though yours died. Just wanted to say that I’ve missed seeing your entries pop up in my email (I am subscribed, of course). Hope things get back to normal for you — even though adjusting to retirement can be very difficult (especially if it’s one’s husband’s retirement!). Hope you’ll be back in the blog business soon.

Wanted you to know that you’re still on my heart. Hoping things are well with you. I’ve enjoyed your blog for so long that you’re left a real emptiness in my days. God bless.

Hi, I just found your blog and you have some very interesting material.

I wanted to give you a tip – when you are scanning newsprint or thin paper that has writing on the reverse side that you don’t want to show through, back it with a piece of black paper. This will stop any images from showing through.

Does anyone know if Marge is okay? She hasn’t posted in an awfully long time.

  I guess no one knows what happened to her. It is a shame. Really miss her.

    Marge moved to my area in South Florida about the time I moved north. I keep in touch with her from time to time. She is still active in paperdolling.

For some reason I am not getting any email from this blog. When I tried to join again, it says I’m already subscribed, but I don’t know why I don’t get anything. Does anyone else have this problem???
on June 22, 2015 at 5:30 pm Patricia

Don’t know what I’m doing wrong… I got an email which said that I could click on the link for Marge’s blog. When I did, it brought me back to this page. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong so that I can read current posts?

Hi Marge. I’ve been following you for some time and miss your posts. I hope you are well and hope you are able to get a new computer soon. I wish I could give you one of mine. 🙂 I have several that are in good working order but I rarely use. They are desk tops though. I use my lap top 99.9% of the time. The desk top would have to have the new Windows put in it and probably more memory. Wish I could help. 🙂

‘Marge moved to my area in South Florida about the time I moved north. I keep in touch with her from time to time. She is still active in paperdolling.’

That is very good news! Please tell her we miss her here.
