# 1 I had no idea what this video was about. I clicked on it, because it was a weird  picture. I never thought I would see the point of view of a person on a horse. I like to look at a horse (on TV) and it doesn’t look like something I would ever do.

#2  This video was a little short, with some good information, but I couldn’t tell which build he was talking about. It looked like a  quiet town. Then again it wasn’t a long video and seemed to be in one area.

*** sidenote This is another state that has a lot of sports. Time to get back to searching for things to do inKentucky, that doesn’t have anything to do about sports…..

I think I will take a different direction for now and see what I find out:

#3  I chose this video, because of the two boys ,(Couldn’t get the picture with the sign, so no pic) because kids have a way of finding interesting things adults do not always see at first. 

I was right the young one kept on touching stuff and the oldest one didn’t keep his mask on.  The cave was surrounded by nature’s beauty and it was enjoyable to watch. I wish they could have stayed longer, but with kids it doesn’t take them long to want to do something else. A cool video….

It is time to say, “Good – Bye” to Kentucky…..BYE  IV Now, LD*

Low On Yarn….

I am surprised I only have these full skeins of yarn bright yellow, purple, and pale yellow left. I was trying to come up with what patterns I could use for my next project with just these few colors.  I also do not want to work on a pattern I have already seen, so I had to get to searching for my next project.

Then I had a strange thought? If I learn a new pattern from someone, can I sell that blanket using their pattern? Google’s answer:

{} Does this mean you can sell crochet items made from someone else’s pattern? Yes, absolutely! There is no specific legal language or precedent that shows that a maker of a product can not sell that product however he/she chooses. May 4, 2020.

Can You Sell Crochet Items from Someone Else’s Pattern… {}

I looked online for a new idea and the few I liked, there weren’t any easy directions, and a lot I had already done. I ended  up doing a simple half double crochet stitch in the middle and a “V” stitch outside. This isn’t a complete blanket, because I didn’t realize I had two different yellow’s. I couldn’t mix it, so I will be putting it aside until I can get more of the right colors..

I really don’t like running out of yarn, but what can you do? I was once again without a project. I not only enjoy crocheting, but it helps keep you calm when there are so many people pulling you from every direction and there is no way you can do them all.

A coworker gave me some yarn (not a lot) and it was enough for me to start another project. I thought it was cool to keep a simple pattern. I went with the half double crochet stitch once again, but I am so bored with this I haven’t worked on it in weeks. 

I am trying not to frog it..

A Look at New Anime’s

Photo by Oleg Magni on Pexels.com

I am happy I found a new anime to watch. It is called, “New Game.” this would be the second one I started today.  I couldn’t get into the first one and since I moved on I cannot recall the title of it..

{} New Game! Is an anime television series based on the manga series created by Shōtarō Tokunō and published in Houbunsha’s Manga Time Kirara Carat magazine. The series follows Aoba Suzukaze, a high school graduate who begins working at the Eagle Jump video game company as a character designer.

#1 This was my first time seeing an all-girl cast and just like in reality girls can do almost everything a guy can do. I didn’t just choose this anime, because it was featuring girls as the main characters. I like the idea of a ‘new game’ or a ‘new anime.’ I was looking for something that was fun and had no fighting in it.  

Yes, there were challenges, but instead of hurting each other with their fist, they worked everything out using their creative minds. I wonder what the world would look like if each person could just talk out their differences? 

Okay, sorry for getting off track. I am sad, because I watched an anime late last night and forgot its title. It was the last thing I turned off and it will still be in my history. Yeah right, because I got up working on my “Online travel” blog and that history was no more. 

I was about to give up on looking for another anime for now, but I had to watch something while I enjoyed my coffee. So, I came across

{} https://myanimelist.net/anime/34501/Kenka_Banchou_Otome__Girl_Beats_Boys

Kenka Banchou Otome: Girl Boys

Synopsis: Kenka  Banchou Otome – Girl Beats Boys, Hinako Nakayama has spent all of her life being raised in state-run orphanages, without ever knowing her family. As she’s about to enter high school, Hinako is approached by Hikaru, a boy who claims to be her twin brother.

According to Hikaru, Hikaru and Hinako are the children of the head of the powerful Onigashima yakuza family, and Hikaru wants Hinako to switches places with him a Shishiku Academy, an all-boys school overrun with the nation’s toughest delinquents. Can Hinako save her brother, find romance, and become the new boss of the school?

#2 I didn’t think I would see another anime where a girl is pretending to be a boy like, “The Host Club”. The only difference here is that only a few know she is really a girl. At first they tried to get her to tell her secret, because a few guessed or had an idea that she was a girl. For reasons of their own they accepted it, and helped her.  One of them turned out to be a childhood friend.

I was only supposed to watch one episode, but I ended up watching all 12 and now I am hoping there will be a second season. After all this is only her first year. 

{} https://myanimelist.net/anime/20555/SoniAni__Super_Sonico_The_Animation

SoniAni: Super Sonico The Animation 

Synopsis: Super Sonico is a clutzy, adorable, and well-endowed 18-year old girl. She’s a complete sucker for anything cute, especially stray cats, all of which she giddily adopts. However, though Sonico should be enjoying a carefree and simply lifestyle as a young college student, her life is really anything but easy: she must balance being a professional model, working part-time at her grandmother’s restaurant, and practicing guitar and performing concerts with her friends Suzi Fujimi and Fuuri Watanuki in their band, First Astronomical Velocity–all while attending college. SoniAni: Super Sonico the Animation follows Sonico as she faces daunting challenges in her search for her place in the world, even when her days are brimming with love and happiness.

#3 I LOVE This anime. I have been laughing on and off all day and even a small tear. Sonico was a;ways smiling and that made other’s want to smile as well. She encouraged others sometimes without even knowing it, a person with a good heart, and a passion to set her dreams free.

She was a model, but that was just a job away to pay for school and to allow her to perform in her band. She also LOVES cats and who couldn’t love anyone who loves cats?

** sidenote: This should have been watched in a few days, but I watched all 12 episodes. I guess it would have been okay if I was working on a project, but I didn’t feel like turning on the lights. Oh well it’s after 11pm and with all this darkness. I am going to call it a night….

Can’t believe I not only watched two new anime series in one day, but I like them enough to watch again. Hope there’s another season for them both?

Restaurant to Another World : Japanese light novel series

Restaurant to Another World is a Japanese light novel series written by Junpei Inuzuka, with illustrations by Katsumi Enami. Shufunotomo have released five volumes of the series since February 2015. An Anime television series adaptation by Silver Link aired from July 3 to September 18, 2017. A second season by OLM will premiere on October 2, 2021.  En.wikipedia.org{}

# 4: I was looking for an anime that didn’t have any fighting in it or magic and when I typed in the word ‘cafe’ the Restaurant to Another World came up. This restaurant caters to different world’s. At first some were confused and didn’t think human food would be as good as it is, but everyone who comes through this door agrees the food is the best that they had ever tasted.

** side note : I really did enjoy this easy going story and although I only watched six episodes. I will watch the remaining six episodes at a later date. 

{}  Neighbor’s Club | Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Wiki | Fandom
      haganai.fandom.com > wiki> Neighbor & The Neighbor’s Club (隣人部, Rinjin-bu)  is a social club and the focus of the Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai series. Realizing that the both lack social lives, Kodaka Hasegawa and  Yozora Mikazuki decide that the best way to improve their situation is to form the Neighbor’s Club to make friends and learn social skills. {}

#5 This anime started off okay as two people noticing that they would like to make friends, but their personality makes it hard to do. They agree to start a club, good, and the first two episodes seemed okay. Then that changed and THIS ANIME ISN’T MEANT FOR YOUNG ADULTS OR THOSE WITH A FAITH KIND OF MIND.

F.Y.I   That’s the reason why I didn’t add  a picture. I cannot say how much I DISLIKE this anime.  I think I will go back to something I have already watched and like. I will look for something new over the weekend…  Who can guess what I will be watching next?

Jumble Words….

Photo by Jacub Gomez on Pexels.com

I got this morning not really feeling anything, but I did give my ‘thanks for waking up, in my right mind, and somewhat healthy.’ Once my eyes were fully open and I saw the sun lighting the sky, I reached for my phone. I can remember when I would have reached for the remote control or to remove my cat from my person. (I never understood why they had to sleep on me)

Anyway, I noticed someone had liked something I wrote on my blog. I may not follow everyone who is following me or read everyone’s post more than once. Sorry, but I am going to work on changing that ‘me’ point of view. Not to get side-tracking, because I really want to add on, but we all know there is a reality when one isn’t online.  It doesn’t matter how nice you are, one can’t live without paying a bill or two and I just did what I said I wasn’t going to do.

Anyway, I clicked on “Conversation on finding and loving who I am,” and the word “Grateful,” along with a picture of a pen on top of a book caught my attention. Those words got me moving as I got through my morning cleaning, gathering my Bible, study book, as well as a book I bought more than 8 years ago. Along with my phone and a cup of hot water as I read on the patio,

I am not making any sense, because I am typing as I sometimes talk, which is way too fast. I am going to just make a list and maybe that will help clear up my jumble words.

  1. I don’t just want to read the Bible and think about what I have read. I wanted to write down what I got for the Word and even write down questions. I have gone through the Bible to find an answer for whatever question I may have had. I also get online, ask my church family and friends. 
  2. I have a patio where I could enjoy fresh air, see the beauty that is here, and the comfort of being able to go inside when needed.
  3. I always like drinking something hot when it’s a little cold. (Today it’s hot water as I read the Word. I am reading the book of Samuel)
  4. If I buy a book or get a positive book I will  read it to the end.

I bought this book eight or more years ago. It will no longer stay on a shelf taking up space, I will read something every day until I have read all 569 pages…

  1. NEVER GIVING INTO DOUBT ~ I KNOW  WHO I AM ~ NO FEAR!!!!

Service starts in thirty minutes, so I better get something to eat, and enjoy the Word online. My church is open and although I would like to go and be there in person. I am just NOT ready. There are a few people who have asked me to come, said they would come and pick me up, but they aren’t listening to me.

Some have said my faith isn’t strong, because I shouldn’t be fearful of getting a sickness when God’s Word is stronger. I am so tired of people telling me what I have and don’t have, because I know who I am and DO NOT have to explain anything to anyone.

I am listening to “Take Me to the King,” by Tamela Mann and every word is how I am feeling now..

And I am GOOD…..

Online Traveling 16: Kansas

I am laughing, because if I were to ask , ‘ who was Dorothy and Toto?” I know anyone who has seen the movie “The Wizard of Oz”  would automatically think about a girl and her dog who came from the state of Kansas and taken to a magical place called Oz. 

Yes, I am on my way to Kansas, but I am looking to see what this state is about. What is there to do and see? (At least   beyond the world of sports) …..

Hidden Gems in KANSAS/Things To Do In Kansas  Jan 30, 2021

Kristen and Sam  Day 3-5 of our road trip to Dener brings us to see some hidden gems in Kansas! Our first stop is in Wichita Kansas to see the Keeper of the Plains! Day 4 brings us to see Mushroom Rocks State Park (Brooksville, KS), Little Jerusalem Badlands State Park (Oakley, KS), and Monument Rocks State Park (Oakley, KS). We hope that this video gives you slime ideas on things to do in Kansas! This is one of our favorite videos that we have EVER shot! {}   

#1  When I first typed  Kansas on youtube a musical group kept on popping up. Never heard of ‘Kansas the band’. Then there were sports and more sports. I really was ready to stop my search, but I am so glad I didn’t do it. This video started with  a short and sweet information about who they were and what the video was going to be about. They talked about a statue called ‘The Keeper of  the Plains,’ and saying it’s a COOL  statue doesn’t say it is strong enough. (at least for me)

I agree with Kristen, when she said she never saw anything like the rocks in  Mushroom Rocks State Park ,’ but those were some interesting rocks. And, the tree that grew on top of a big rock?

They did show some of the driving to and from places, I would have liked to have seen a little more, but some was better than none. They did say it was a lot of dirt roads.

** If I ever decided to go visit this state. I know I wouldn’t want to go in the summertime, because it may be  too hot.  So maybe around April or early May. I was about to go search out another video, but it is after 10am and I haven’t had my coffee yet, so I am done for now.

I like that statue so much I thought I would get a little more info on it…

** I was still curious about the state of Kansas when I looked at one more video, but now I am going to fix my coffee and watch ‘One Piece.’  I haven’t given up looking for a new anime, but until then……

What can I say, “I am crazy about one Roronoa Zoro – The Pirate Hunter.”

#3  It might be a girl thing, but can you tell why I clicked onto this video? One little word – ‘Shopping.’  I really haven’t been  able to shop like I would like to and I no longer like window shopping, because I feel sad when I can’t buy anything. It is different when you are online and looking at places one can’t actually shop there. 

I saw a few retail stores and a restaurant that are in my area as well as new stores. I was amazed that the first shopping center was so big. One could get lost there, but what a cool place to get lost in. 

The neighborhood in between shopping centers had nice looking buildings and the different areas one could walk, was nice as well. This video didn’t have any music in it, but that was cool. I was able to continue to listen to my gospel music as I worked on a granny square watching the shops I wish I could go in…

# 4  I know this video is only about 30 seconds, but this young lady was brave enough to play a song for something she believes in. I wish I could press LIKE a 100 times, but it only allowed me to do it once. 

** I am going to stop and fix myself a cup of tea and read a Jude Deveraux book called, “The Maiden,” and come back to Kansas once again……

(Wed Sep 1st) The book I was so into, “The Maiden,” was a book I had read before. I just wished I remembered I didn’t care for the ending. I  haven’t been to the library in a minute, but I may have too. Anyway it is 8 o’clock time for 1 more video before I call it a night.

** I also wished I hadn’t drunk that hot tea knowing it will make me sleepy. One of these days I am going to figure out why I get more tired after drinking a cup of hot tea. Oh it was ginger & strawberry….

#5  It took me 18 minutes to find this video. I could have done without the music. The ride to the capital was okay, I liked it best when the camera showed what wasn’t on the road. There were some cool trees in front of the Capitol Building. 

***Side Note – I was thinking about looking for another video, but my eyes are so ready to close. The price one pays when one has to get up early to go to work, but I am going  to sleep early….

I am done trying to find a video on interesting things to do in Kansa, so I decided to ask google a question: What is there to do in Kansas in 2021?

It’s time to end my stay in Kansas. I found some interesting places to see and some videos fun to watch. Time to get to reorganizing my room…. One doesn’t have to buy something new to always make a place look new. It’s funny just by changing the furniture can get a totally new look….

Bye IV Now, LD*

**** One day I am going to figure out how to get what I type in google doc to look the same on wordpress, but until then I hope my heart comes through anyway. I really need some coffee and get back into reality… May everyone have a safe and fun weekend….
