Oscar Guarding Our Chair

March 21, 2023

While I'm stitching, Oscar is stretched out across my legs, completely under the blanket. Try sitting for hours with a 14 pound dog sleeping across your ankles! I'm not complaining. I thought he would never be a lap dog. I am quite happy to have to squirm in my chair to try to get comfortable with him on my legs. Oscar heard Vince coming down the stairs and poked his head out. He will growl if ...

Hash Brown Omelette

March 21, 2023

This morning I saw this video on youtube and knew it was what we were having for breakfast. I used the food processor to grate the potatoes and followed the recipe as given. I didn't have ham so I used sausage. It was delicious and it was very filling. Almost always when I cook omelettes, I cook hash browns but with this, I could only eat half of mine. It's raining so I didn't want to ...

Struggling With Colors

March 21, 2023

When I first started stitching, I thought I had to use all the called for colors. Then, probably after sage advice from another stitcher, I realized it was ok to change colors.

Winter Rose Manor Progress

March 20, 2023

I've struggled with the color for the pink house. I want it to be pink but not too bright. I've auditioned a dozen pinks and I think I've decided on the pink shown in the photo below. The house is big and not much pink can look brighter and overwhelming. I will stitch a little more before making a final decision on whether this is the pink I'm going to use. I went ahead and stitched the ...

Old Pictures

March 20, 2023

This morning I came across a cache of old pictures. They all brought back great memories . . except for one car fire! :( Most all of these were taken the first or second year we were in Texas. Chad kept telling me the other day that he had tried to find some kind of chickens Addie had wanted and I asked him what they were and he said "they have that topping on their heads". Later I ...

A Trip to Town

March 20, 2023

Last night I asked Vince "Are we going anywhere tomorrow?" Nope! I got up, got dressed like I was hanging out at home all day. I had milk and grated cheese in the freeze dryer and it was finished so I got it all into jars and vacuum sealed. Then I filled four trays with the 6 dozen eggs and stuck them in the freezer to be freezing while the freeze dryer was defrosting. Vince asked me how many ...
