This Left Feels Right

Oh My God

I know I know I haven't written much lately but I've been busy :) I have joined a community garden and now am the proud owner of two 4 x 8 garden plots. I've planted lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, bell pepper, habanero pepper, and eggplant in one, and half corn and half green beans in the other. Plus in my back patio area at home I have all kinds of herbs going. Including ginger root. I really hope all of this grows successfully...I love fresh produce so much.

So between the garden, the usual flea market madness and grange events and all I haven't been on here much. BUT I did find a couple of blogs that are worth reading...

more blasts from the past

2011-05-09T09:13:00.000-07:00

So I have access to a scanner for a bit and have been scanning old photos and uploading them to facebook and other places. As a result of these class photos from 5th and 6th grade being posted on facebook I'm now friends with a total of 5 people from my elementary school days....we're talking 1975/1976 here.

So another wave of nostalgia created by FB....I've had a few of those come around.

A blast from the past

This is a DJ from my young adulthood....he left radio for quite some time but has come back out with an online version of his Idiot show. Welcome back my friend.

Flea Market Craziness

2011-03-01T13:28:00.000-08:00

Almost done with getting ready for the flea market. Sign is hung, I should get the vendor list/table assignments this week, then I just need to prepare for a long day at the market itself.

Deep Freeze

2011-02-26T09:23:00.000-08:00

So the snow is gone and now we are sitting at about 19 degrees. Pretty damn cold. Why did I end up here instead of somewhere warmer like Hawaii or Airzona or something? Well they can be a bit much in the summer but damn they would be nice in the winter. This deep cold and possible snow and ice every year is wearing on me. I like this place a lot better in the spring and summer. And I guess fall up to a point.

I plan to take more photos of the monthly flea market coming up next weekend. If you are in the Portland are the info is at www.leedygrange.org. I'd love to see this get even more popular than it is already. If you want to reserve a table for next month it's only 10 bucks :).

Snow? or not

2011-02-23T20:01:00.000-08:00

Supposedly we are getting the last major snow storm of the season tonight...and so far I have seen no signs. Not sure how it will be when I wake up though.

Correction...I just checked outside and it is starting to snow lightly...hmmm.....

I have been a member of the local grange hall, Leedy Grange, since about November or so....and am starting to spend a lot of time there between local meetings, counties wide meetings and other events going on as fundraisers and the like. There is a monthly flea market that's held at the hall....and it looked like it was in danger of being cancelled due to the person running it not being able to anymore. So I volunteered to take it over....but I don't know what I'm doing so I have to have other people help me figure this out. But I really want to take this over I think it would be fun and a good outlet for me....and I love it so much it would be worth my while. It's a great flea market.....in the Cedar Mill area of Portland....anyone who might read this and is in the area should check it out.

Busy week and weekend

2011-02-21T14:38:00.000-08:00

First off this is kinda weird but intriguing at the same time: http://lifehacker.com/#!5765611/build-your-own-diy-stone-bath-mat

on other notes I had a busy week of work and of the older girls getting their wisdom teeth out and hanging out with at least one of them while they had the procedure done. They are both recovering nicely and are sick of really soft food :)

Working on a couple of projects for the local grange hall ....I plan to help with the monthly flea market we have so it can keep going and we are going to put a presence on facebook as well....should be interesting.

damn what is wrong with people

2011-02-18T12:46:00.000-08:00

What is with the stupid lately? A couple of days ago I left my office and went down to the max station like usual...and see that MY train is stopped at the platform that is one station back, with a supervisor vehicle parked in front of it. Turns out it hit a car that was going across the tracks when it shouldn't have.....meaning that the person driving was an idiot. The only two reasons people get hit by max are 1. they are NOT paying attention or 2. they are trying to BEAT the train like an idiot. If people would stop doing these two things NO ONE would ever get hit by max. There really is no excuse for it.

So we get past that and I'm rolling out of Sunset Transit on the bus when I see some skateboard kid riding down the middle of the lane, on the road coming out of the transit center, on the wrong side of the road. Yet he acted surprised when a car came around the corner and almost hit him head on. What did you expect?

Then today the max just breaks down on the way to work..but luckily didn't end up making me late.

Tonight I have grange business to take care of (I'm a member of the Leedy Grange for the Cedar Mill area of town)....mainly putting up a photo exhibit in anticipation of tomorrow's fund raising breakfast.

So now what

2011-02-17T07:27:00.000-08:00

I have had this blog going on and off for a number of years now. I've covered different aspects of my life, and the events going on within it, that I don't want to revisit anymore. The past has been deleted from this blog and I am trying to figure out which direction to go now. I don't have a subject in mind really. Maybe I will use this more as a photo blog kind of thing....that will inspire me to take more photos like I should be doing.

appears to be working again

2011-02-14T13:06:00.001-08:00

Thanks to a good friend helping me this appears to be up yay!

I've given up

It used to be easy to point my domain to this blog and have it work well. Now it is just a major pain in the ass and for now I'm going to stick with the address lilsheba.blogspot.com.....fuck it.
