Streets

The street I grew up on was very similar to this street, except that there wasn't much grass in the yards.  Usually grass was replaced with gravel or rocks.
Trust me, there were plenty of rocks!
The trees were the kinds that could survive in a hot, desert climate.
There weren't many trees on our block.
The street I grew up on was straight, not curvy.
This street has so many curves!
We knew our neighbors back then.
Luckily, on this street, there is a nice community of friends.
The streets were all paved where I grew up, and they were hot in the summer time when we walked without shoes where ever we went.
The streets were lined with lizards back home.
I don't think I've ever seen a lizard on this street.
The pavement is hot in the summer time, but now I wear my sandals to walk.
I stepped on a bee once, and I am allergic, so better safe than sorry.
I used to think all streets were the same, but they're not.
They might be the beginning of a road or a path, but streets are streets.
There are different faces on each street.  There are different cars that traverse the street.
A street where no one lives or walks or drives cannot be called a street.
Luckily, I have lived on many streets that team with life!
What about your street?
What's it like?

Worth Repeating: Random Questions: The election

This post is not that old, but it's nice to be old, because you don't have to care.

Normally, I refrain from commenting, but this year, 
I'm older and I don't care.
Why does Hilary yell so much?
Why does Bernie think he'll be President?
Why don't people like Ted?
Why is the the Donald, the Donald?
Why don't people realize that if something is illegal, they really should care?
Why do people think that, because someone says they didn't do it, but the evidence is there, that
maybe, they did commit the illegal act?
When someone says, "I really like the evangelicals.  I have my mother's bible," do people ignore the obvious.  That's just not true?
 
Why is it popular to be a "progressive" when that term  means nothing?
Why do people call abortion "Health care," when it's not?
Why is our society embracing lies, deceit, and corruption in our politicians?
How can we make it better?

This, That, and the Other Monday

This

That:
I really need to list a few things in my Etsy Shop.  People seem to like these little ring dishes.  I made them from polymer clay.
They are small and will, most likely, hold a ring or two, a small necklace, etc.  You get the picture.

The Other
I have to finish gathering my tax information together. 
A lot to do today.
Check out my store later.
A few of these dishes will be there.

Yes! I finally learned how to make a sliding knot!!!!!!

It's taken me years.
I have tried and tried to make a sliding knot.
I've watched videos.
I've read directions.
I've bought tutorials.
Through it all, 
what I absorbed was
blah. blah. blah.
Then it happened.
I don't know why,
but a video I found on 
Pinterest
made
sense.
I don't know if you're sliding knot impaired,
but I was,
and now,
I'm not.
Here's the link,
just in case
you're impaired, too.
See you later!
