Not for me, but fun to see?

 I have the patience of a gnat, and I know I could but never would finish one of these kits! However, since I need something cool to share daily, here ya go. (here)

The Colossal Shop offers cool stuff, and part is Hook, Line & Tinker

Based in Canada, Hook, Line & Tinker is a small-batch craft production studio that designs embroidery kits. All of their kits are plastic free, and a minimum of 5% of their profits are donated to help women and children experiencing homelessness. All patterns are unique originals designed by Laurie Dolhan. Seven kits at $30 or $32. 

As always, I am just sharing, I do not monetize anything on the blog. Never have, never will.

One of the world's biggest oil producers just committed to planting 10 billion trees. Saudi Arabia plans to plant 10 billion trees in the desert

Saudi Arabia launched an ambitious environmental project called the Saudi Green Initiative, aiming to plant billions of trees across the country. The goal is to restore degraded land, improve air quality, and fight desertification. Experts believe large-scale tree planting could help capture carbon emissions and cool urban areas.

If successful, the project could transform vast desert regions and become one of the largest environmental restoration efforts in the world.

 Conversation with a Stranger 

Today I had to go to Kaiser for a hip X-ray, and because I didn't know how long I might have to wait I took my book to read. I checked in, and got all set to read when an elderly (most likely younger than me) lady came in and sat nearby. I had just started reading and I heard her say something. I asked and she said "How is your day going?" and I replied,"Oh fine, how about you?" And the conversation was on. I closed my book and gave her my attention, as she seemed to want to talk. I am not always so open to strangers, but she seemed to need to talk? She said she was there to x-ray her left foot and showed me the foot in question. A large bump which she said was "a cyst under a bone spur." I asked if it was painful, and she said yes, sometimes. I asked if she iced it, and she said sometimes. Then she said she would be having surgery on August 11th. About then the technician called me in for my appointment. Easy peasy, all procedures should be as easy as an Xray. As I left I wished her well on her surgery, she thanked me. I thought about the conversation on the way home and felt good about spending the a little time with a stranger. I can read my book anytime.

When I got home and started working on today's blog, I came across this ...

Another timeline. 

(Some of you mentioned you like the family posts?)

I am blessed to have wonderful relatives and family in Indiana. And, there are many great stories that I love, and that the "young and restless" of our family might not know?

Young Aunt Geneva, (before marriage).

Aunt Geneva was a fancy lady. (She was the daughter of a very prominent business man, and traveled with him as his secretary). She married my Uncle Les, but they argued, and got a divorce. So they both remarried other people. Then they were really unhappy. So they both divorced and remarried each other and lived together the rest of their lives. Happily I think.
