Inspiration Comes In Many Forms!

I was playing with my IPOD Touch last night, greatest thing invented since sliced bread, and was looking through the backgrounds when I ran across some very encouraging words. I read it several times to be sure it would not be forgotten. I hope you all find this quote as inspiring as I have. "Never give up on anything, that you can't go a day without thinking about."

Here is a little sneak preview of what puts the T in Duct. It is also my first attempt at adding a post from my flickr account. Hitting enter NOW.......

Sprung A Leak

As you know most duct's love water. It just rolls right off their backs and into the pond they are splashing in. Well not so much the case this weekend. We have sprung a leak....our hose to the ice maker got a kink in it sometime during the day while we were off working and ran under the cabinets, under the flooring, and so much so that the slab on the house actually got wet from soaking it all in. We had to rent one of those electric floor scrappers...and just in case you have never had the experience of using one it is like using a jack hammer, or at least that is what my husband, Beau, told me. Needless to say after all of that I did still manage to do a little crafting. My youngest daughter, Samantha, purchased a Cricut Expression and brought it over for us to play with on Sunday. LOADS OF FUN! Hopefully I can take some pictures soon of our goodies for all to see. Until then......Ducty.....out!

Bugs in My Pond

What a weekend......We had our 3 youngest grandchildren Friday night so their mommies and daddys could celebrate Valentine's without the pitter patter of little feet running around. Parker 4, Peiper 2, and Karsyn who will be 2 February 27th. Hunter, my 12 year old grandson went out on his first "date" with his little girlfriend Tia to see a movie, accompanied by Dad of course. Anthony who is soon to be 11 I am sure kept busy doing what little boys do.
Saturday my husband, Beau, and I went out and had our own Valentine's Day Celebration. Dinner and then off to drop a few coins in the new Casino. The place was packed and so smokey that we decided to go home early.
Sunday I spent most of my day trying to get some nasty bugs out of my pond. Thanks to a wonderful post at Free PC Help Dot Com I managed it all by myself. Those nasty little bugs flew in under the radar with other invited guest and then messed up my pond. Be careful of those little devils that are known as Trojan's they are no fun.
Thankfully I am safe now to swim around....Ducty Out!

What will they think of next........

What a great idea......emailing your new post to your blog!
Great way to keep up!

Getting My Feet Wet.....

Well we have a new year and new goals. My main goal for 2009 was to finish projects that were started before starting any new ones. So I have been busy doing just that.

This blog is my second attempt. I have been consolidating emails and internet accounts that kept me busy but were un-productive. So alas I have lost my first blog, which is okay, because I feel this one is starting off much better. I have to add though, it is a lot of work just to decide what kind of persona you want to put out there for all the world to see.

There will be many days of tweaking this blog before it is right and if it takes the rest of the year to do that, then I am willing to paddle until done.....after all it is a "Sink or Swim" world and I am only one "Little Duct".

NOTE: Duct is spelled with a "T" for a reason, one that I will tell of in post to come.

Until Then.....Ducty.....Out
