A Frog Project…

I cannot believe I am going back on my word when I said “I would Never Frog again,”and I couldn’t look at the crochet skirt I made for myself (which was too big)any longer and had to take it out.

Then again it didn’t come out like I was hoping it would. I was trying to figure out how I could improve it, but my mind kept on coming up black. So, this is what happened in the end


I had thought I could just go around one side,but that didn’t work out. I decided to make a granny square blanket, but I am not choosing the colors. However the yarn comes from my skirt that is how the pattern will flow..

I was going to look for some more places to visit in California, but I rather watch an anime as I work on my pink & beige project

Online Traveling: California part 1..

I was talking to a co – worker and she was telling me about the few places she visited and couldn’t wait to travel again.  I mentioned I am traveling online and posting it on my blog. She was intrigued, because she never heard of anything like this. I had to close my mouth, because I thought the same way a few months ago.

A friend, who is also from New York was talking about our old stomping grounds and he told me to go to a video and I was watching someone walk around New York. It almost felt I was there and then I had an idea.

I have always wanted to see the world (and until i can get my book out in reality and a little extra $$ in my account) I could still see the world in a different way. Let me start where I live which is America and go from there. 

I started with  Alabama and now my  next designation is California and I am sure I will have more than five videos to watch. I actually went to California a few years ago. I remembered it was HOT and since I rode the GreyHood bus line there from NC, which took 5 days and 4 nights. I know I will NEVER do that again. At least by bus

{} California  US State

California, a western U.S. state, stretches from the Mexican border along the Pacific for nearly 900 miles. Its terrain includes cliff-lined beaches, redwood forest, the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Central Valley farmland and the Mojave Desert. The city of Los Angeles is the seat of the Hollywood entertainment industry. Hilly San Francisco is known for the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and cable cars. ― Google

With over 39.3 million residents across a total area of approximately 163,696 square miles (423,970 km2), it is the most populous state and the third-largest state by area. It is also the most populated subnational entity in North America and the 34th most populous in the world.

Los Angeles County is the country’s most populous, while San Bernardino County is the largest county by area in the country. San Francisco, which is both a city and county, is the second most densely populated major city in the country (after New York City) and the fifth most densely populated county in the country, behind four of New York City’s five boroughs {}

There is more info, but I have no interest  in reading about the state. I would rather see it for myself

#1 : This video gives a lot of information, but it really doesn’t make me want to visit LA. 

I did visit Studio City a few years ago, let me see if I can see what that looks like now?

#2 : I was trying to remember if I saw something from my past as he walked around studio city, but I didn’t. It was 30 years since I was there. I did see a few places I would like to go, but not enough to make me want to visit. Moving on

#3 : I didn’t realize this video was made from the first video I looked at until I heard the voice and I am glad I looked at it. I may even watch it again. I liked this video, because it showed places to visit without you being in a crowd of people. 

The world we live in has so much beauty in it and this video showed some of it. I have always wanted to take a ride on Route 66, and I never thought about the  view on the Mississippi River (on land of course). 

One day I will go there for real and I now see that I want to see more of California and I have no idea how many parts it will be, but I am going to end this one on Route 66

Getting Closer…

It’s said, “if you have a big problem, or you are upset, and you cannot come up with an easy answer. It’s best to walk away and come back to the problem and maybe then you will have an answer?”

I don’t know if that is totally true, because I got half of an answer. Half of an answer, is the same as being a no answer at all. It’s like saying, “I’ll fix your car, but I can only fix half of it.” In the end you still won’t be able to drive your car, because a half working car is the same as a broken car. One cannot drive a broken car.

I was so happy when I finally got a logo for my website

<div>Logo created by <a href=”https://www.designevo.com/&#8221; title=”Free Online Logo Maker”>DesignEvo logo maker</a></div>

I know I shouldn’t have done this, but someone gave me their word they would help, so once again I put this aside, and waited. I lost another two weeks, because I put my trust in someone else.

I am done with that and using the brain God gave me and the help of youtube I am on my way to getting my website right.

We Found America’s MOST CHARMING Town! – Food & City Tour of Eureka Springs, Arkansas 

The Endless Adventure   We may have found the MOST CHARMING city in the USA! We spent the day exploring the town of Eureka Springs, AR, eating huge pancakes, huckleberry pies, and exploring all the awesome sights around the area. 😍 Who knew Arkansas was so beautiful or delicious!? {}

#1 Even through the rain it looked like a cool place to walk around. I wish this couple ‘and I am assuming they are married’ – had said their name. I am listening to the video as I type (Oh I did watch it first to make sure I liked it and I liked it enough to subscribe to this site) – and then as they were eating I heard him call her Allison.

I agree with them that the Thorncarl Chapel is an amazing church.

Thorncrown Chapel is a chapel located in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, designed by E. Fay Jones, and constructed in 1980. The design recalls the Prairie School of architecture popularized by Frank Lloyd Wright, with whom Jones had apprenticed. Wikipedia

Address: 12968 US-62, Eureka Springs, AR 72632

 Side note : The word copyright came up and I bypassed another picture, but it was shown in the  youtube video by The Endless Adventure

Side note: I am hoping to find something else that is more on the lines of visiting and not moving there, but that will be at a later time. I am going to get back to a NEW Anime I am enjoying. Watch Shounen Maid

Fun Things To Do In Little Rock Arkansas

I know when you think of cool places to visit Little Rock may not be the first place that comes to mind but honestly if you live anywhere in the area or are an outdoor enthusiast it should be. 

Little Rock, Arkansas sits on the banks of the Arkansas River located in the center of the state. And with a population of nearly 200,000 people, it’s the largest city in Arkansas and definitely the place to find a good time at a great value.

Sidenote : The last two videos were a lot of information and  enjoyable to watch. I am done with Arkansas…

Anime Watch List 4: When…..

When Marnie Was There

VERY VERY GOOD MOVIE.

Annie was a young girl who kept to herself and didn’t know her selfe worth. At the beginning of the movie she pointed that out herself, her mother who has taken her in felt because she wasn’t her biological mother was at fault for her not fitting in. After an asthma attack the doctor suggested she should stay with family outside of the city.

At first I thought that was wrong, but for Annie that was the best thing. She not only made a friend who helped her see her self worth, but realized she was totally loved. Even if that friend was a ghost.

She did meet some real live people as well and this story was one of the BEST new stories I have seen in a VERY LONG TIME!!

I  got tired of  looking for something new to watch, so I went back to two of my favorite anime. Whispers of the Heart was the first movie and the next one was called The Cat returns.

Whisper of the Heart

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Whisper of the Heart (Japanese: è€łă‚’ă™ăŸă›ă°, Hepburn: Mimi o Sumaseba, literally “If You Listen Closely”) is a 1995 Japanese animated coming-of-age romantic drama film directed by Yoshifumi Kondƍ and written by Hayao Miyazaki based on the 1989 manga of the same name by Aoi Hiiragi. It was animated by Studio Ghibli for Tokuma Shoten, Nippon Television Network and Hakuhodo. The film stars Yoko Honna, Issei Takahashi, Takashi Tachibana, Shigeru Muroi, Shigeru Tsuyuguchi and Keiju Kobayashi. It was the first theatrical Studio Ghibli film to be directed by someone other than Miyazaki or Isao Takahata.

Whisper of the Heart was Kondƍ’s only film as director before his death in 1998. Studio Ghibli had hoped that Kondƍ would become the successor to Miyazaki and Takahata.[2]

It was the only theatrical Ghibli film not directed by Miyazaki or Takahata for seven years until The Cat Returns was released in 2002, which focused on a minor character of the film, Baron. {}

I LOVE this movie and I LOVE this article I just read about it. If you want to look at an anime that has no fighting in it and a good story I hope you take a chance of this one as well as the second one. I am going to add that review here if anyone else would like to read it as well.

Review: Whisper of the Heart (Japan, 1995)

https://d17389e216ygm.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/CE_whisperoftheheart.jpg

The film’s protagonists, Shizuku and Seiji.

It’s almost sinful how little this movie is known or seen. There is no doubt this is one of the most emotionally intricate, beautiful pieces to come out of Ghibli, and modern cinema in general. As Yoshifumi Kondo’s first and last project after tragically passing away, there’s no doubt we preemptively lost who undoubtedly would’ve been one of modern cinema’s greatest directors. So rare is a first attempt so wonderful.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cat_Returns

The Cat Returns

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cat Returns (Japanese: çŒ«ăźæ©èż”ă—, Hepburn: Neko no Ongaeshi, lit. “The Cat’s Repayment”) is a 2002 Japanese animated fantasy[3] film directed by Hiroyuki Morita, produced by Toshio Suzuki and Nozomu Takahashi, written by Reiko Yoshida, based on the manga The Cat Returns by Aoi Hiiragi, with music by Yuji Nomi, animated by Studio Ghibli for Tokuma Shoten, Nippon Television Network, Hakuhodo, Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Mitsubishi and Toho and distributed by the latter company. It stars Chizuru Ikewaki, Yoshihiko Hakamada, Tetsu Watanabe, Yosuke Saito, Aki Maeda and Tetsurƍ Tamba. This is Hiroyuki Morita’s first and only film so far as director for Studio Ghibli.

A spin-off of Whisper of the Heart, it was theatrically released in Japan on July 20, 2002 through Toho and in 2005 in the United States through Walt Disney Home Entertainment.[4] It received an Excellence Prize at the 2002 Japan Media Arts Festival. GKIDS re-issued the film on Blu-ray and DVD on January 16, 2018 under a new deal with Studio Ghibli.[5]{}

The first one was better than the second, but it was something watching cats..

Well, that’s the end of another anime watched list from me, Lee*
