Good Afternoon my dears and Welcome to 

WendyTales, my time personal time with 

you all to either tell stories, my own experiences in life or 

even helpful hints from my own garden. 

So for today's Sunday Post I thought I would 

tell you More about my Journey

~My Journey~

So find that cozy chair and a warm cup of coffee or tea

 and have a sit and I will give you a bit of a tale about me.

Well last we were together talking about my Story 

I was telling you how I told Mark my husband of 18 years at a 

card store with our four year son, who is now

15-years old now. That I found out I had Breast Cancer.
Also that we as a family had a rough December, Christmas, but
made it as best as we could for ourselves and for our son. 
We really didn't know what lied ahead of us in January of 2005 when all
the craziness started and really didn't slow down till 2009. Now
It is not as bad just slowed down.
I still have health problems and other issues at a younger 
age that I never thought I would when I took my vows 
'through sickness and health'
However the key to all this is having a strong 
FAMILY & HUSBAND THAT LOVES YOU
THEN YOU CAN GET THROUGH MOST ANYTHING
For today Sundays 
~WendyTales~
I thought I would go back a little farther  so you can see how 
important my family [parents, brother and sister] and 
my Family my husband and son are to me. Plus my dear 
friends and many other sisters that I have 
Paula, Cynthia, Agnes, and so many more 
that have got me to where I am today.
For today I thought I would start with a story that my
father told me.... I found it to be kinda fun I hope you like.

It was 1960 in Oakland/California and my parents had to rush there first 
child over the bay bridge at 2:30 am then they came to the train
that was coming. I kinda remember my momma saying 
 if my father doesn't bet the train he will be delivering his first 
child here in the car. Well you don't know my dad but 
he got me! hehehhe to the hospital safely, bet the train
and I was born just after he park the car. 
I guess I wanted to make a grand entrance into the world.
I was born at 3-am on Dec 7  1960
I guess there was another faults alarm two day prier to the day
I was born. My parents had said that I held up the entire 
BAY BRIDGE because I gave them the faults alarm that 
I was coming and they had the police stop the entire bay bridge
to help my parents get to the hospital 
Well as you know by my two stories it wasn't till the next few days.
So I hope you like my next stories of my beginnings 
I will tell you more next time 
I love you all my dears

Painted Gourd Birdhouse

Good Afternoon and Welcome my dearest Friends & Followers

to my Saturday TipsFromtheGarden...

For today's Saturday's Garden Tips, I found two interesting 

and fun things you can do for you gardens for the spring

since its SPRING!

~First one is Creative Bird Houses~

Since this is the grand time for bird watching & birds are

looking for homes. 

Here are few ideas that you can try;

1-A Birdhouse made out of an old broken

Cuckoo Clock.

2-There's another idea that you could try, an old 

fashioned kerosene lantern.

3.A Birdhouse made out of old licences plates is another idea.

4-Since its Spring you can always try dried out Gourds.

They can make great bird houses.

5-Finally you can always make a birdhouse out of your 

many scraps of wood for a very creative Birdhouse. 

~Second Idea is making Junk into Treasure~

What I found was this Treasure to share.

Have you every seen those lighted Christmas deers decorations during

the holidays? That folks put in their yard during the holidays. Well there are

other ways of using these when they have gotten old or

you can look for them at salvation used stores, garage sale etc. 

Once you find them, you strip off all the Christmas lights, spray the whole

frame with brown paint. Then fill it with many different sizes of rocks one

at a time; until the frame is full. 

So I hope these Ideas are fun and helpful for your Gardens

for this Saturday TipsfromtheGarden

I love you all very much

Tanning or Cooked~

Tanning or Cooked-

Good afternoon my dear friends and followers today I am bring you all a post that might
make you think twice about the tanning salon. Besides the fact that these tanning beds can cause skin cancer at a much faster rate. So this is how the tale or urban legend goes my dear friends & followers. I hope you enjoy the tale. It was basically about a young woman who was going to be in a wedding, however she was very unhappy with her pale skin and wanted to look good for the wedding. For me, I was very happy at my wedding 18-years ago and I was quite the pale skin bride. But I guess everybody has their own idea of what beauty is.
So as the tale goes, the young woman in the wedding party decided to go to the tanning salons. Since there was a 30-min limit per-day on all tanning salons, she visited several each day. This was to try to increase the speed up the tan in the shortest time possible. So that she would have a glowing tan by the time of the wedding.
After several weeks of going to many different tanning salons, she noticed that she wasn't feeling very well and even after taking a bath she couldn't get the foul odor that was about her body to go away. So she decided she had better go to the doctor and get check-out before the wedding which was only in a few days.
She was able to make an doctor appointment that very day, After the doctor examined her and did a number of special tests, The doctor discovered through the number of tests, that all those visits to the tanning salons each day , had slowly cooked her internal organs.
This happened by the over use of the exposure to the tanning rays the doctor told her and the odor that she was smelling was actually her rotting organs. Sadly the doctor told her because of this foolish act she had just two weeks to live.
Well, my dearest friends & followers I did check this one out and it seems that it is one of those old urban legends. Even though it is an urban legend it is a story of great warning to these tanning beds. They can cause lots of harm in other ways if your not careful about it.
The Ultraviolet rays that come through these lights in these tanning beds are the same as the sun so hence skin cancer. So you have to be careful when getting that tan.

I hope you enjoyed this post, my dears love you all
