We don't miss a Saturday at the Farmers' Market when we're in MO. That is something I really look forward to doing. Addie went with us this morning. If we were already living here, she and I would have gone wild buying pumpkins and mums but since no one is here to water them, I didn't buy mums and since deer are likely to make a mess with the pumpkins, I didn't buy those either. We got ...
Sewing Room Re-Design
Until I get everything in there, I'm just not going to be 100% sure how it's all going to work out. One night, very late into the night, I was measuring and marking and planning. This is what I call the front part of the room. On the left where the pink blanket is spread out, that's where I thought the love seat would fit nicely and it did! That gives me hope that some of my plans ...
Family Time
There are some who think we're crazy for moving to MO and others who think it's the best thing we've ever done. Sometimes, when I'm back in Texas, packing, looking at all the work we've put into the place there, I question if we're doing the right thing but when I spend time with Chad, Nicole and Addie, I have no doubt we're doing the right thing. Yesterday we needed Chad to help Vince with a ...
Rita and Vince
It's kinda funny watching Rita with Vince. She loves him and doesn't like it one bit when he's out of her sight. She isn't a snuggler but she will let him snuggle with her way more than she will let me. In the car, all she wants to be doing is sitting/sleeping as close to him as she can get. He won't admit it but he loves that she loves him so much and loves me so ...
Freeze Dried Peppers
I'm often asked about the texture of freeze dried fruits and veggies. I absolutely love the freeze dried fruit - jackfruit, bananas, apples, figs, peaches . . there are others I can't think of right now. My peppers did great in the garden this year and I freeze dried a lot of them. The other day when making the burritos in jars, I used some of them. The photo above is straight out of the ...
The Sharon Show – Finished
Wednesday night I finished "The Sharon Show" mystery knit along. The last clue came out on Friday so I finished five or six days after that last clue. I think that's the most "on time" I've been for a knit along finish in years. It isn't blocked yet but I may be able to soak it and get it to blocking today. Wait til you see it blocked. It's going to be gorgeous! This was such a fun ...
