About Me

My photo
Jacksonville, Illinois, United States
My husband and I have been married for 51 years. We are both retired. He loves to garden and read. I like to do those things too but still need to do something interesting and keep my brain active. I have been selling online since 2002. I really like selling over the internet and reading and writing on the blogs as you can talk to many nice people. I also sell in order to supplement our income as day-to-day living expenses. I have a grown daughter who owns a painting business, Painters Extraordinaire II, in Chicago, IL. I also have two dogs(Lady and Corky) and a cat named Bonnie.

Further adventures of Illinoisgal

Well, we have been giving the medicine to Clyde again this month and he still doesn't seem to be gaining weight. We take him to the vet on Thursday. He is going to do a blood test again and see if anything else shows up. The only thing that showed up on the last one was hyperthyroid. I hope he find something so we can treat it and get my big guy back to being a big guy and not a skinny guy.

Going to O'Charleys with my sis and her hubby today to celebrate her birthday on the 3rd. Hope I like the food better than last time. Not a big fan but the birthday girl gets to say where we go.

The air outside is full of lilac and almost too strong. This winter and spring have been a big surprise. Hope there are no tornado surprises this year and it stays like it is. That would be great.

Well, have to find something to wear today. Since it is going to be 88 or so guess I will wear capris. This weather in Illinois goes up and down more than an elevator in a busy high rise.

Write at you later. Thanks for the read.

Time goes flowing by...


Next month is quite full as we have our 48th anniversary and my 69th birthday in February. Boy, I can't believe how the time has flown. I remember when I thought 40 was old. I wonder what my young self would have thought about age 69. One more year until the big 70. Even now when I think of it I freak out. The time has flown but also seems like a long time. I know that's a contradiction but it seems to go slow at the time you are living it but when you find out how much time has elapsed it seems to have flown by. Of course, a week is nothing. I wake up on Sunday morning and before I know it It's Sunday again. Getting old is just plain weird. Better than the alternative though. Ha!

Man the last few days have been a real drag. Cloudy and cold - not my kind of weather. I don't know why I live in the north as I'm a hot weather gal. We haven't had any snow to speak of this year which is a blessing but it has been up and down temps. I need to live somewhere where the coldest days are high 60s at least.

I have been doing a lot of listing in my stores though so you might want to check them out. January has been a really weird selling month. A sale here and there nothing substantial. Oh, well, may February will be better.

Hope all is going well with you and that 2012 is a good year. Thanks for taking the time to read my little blog.

Until next time...
