I love this project and would sit and work on it all day if I didn't have other stuff that has to be done. It's a big project and it's going to take a while but I think it's so pretty. According to the Markup app, I'm a little over 5% done. That means I still have 95% to go. I don't even mind how long this one will take because it's so fun to stitch. ...
Live and Learn!
The other night Vince and I were watching a movie and a quote was used. "Don't cry because it's over; Smile because it happened." In the movie, it was quoted from Dr. Seuss. That quote hit me because there are so many things in my life that instantly popped into my head. First, I was so in love with a guy in college and it didn't work out. I was really sad about it for a long time but, of ...
The New Fridge
I didn't get the fridge I wanted but I knew from the way Vince was talking last night, that was not the fridge we would get. Vince found a GE fridge at Lowe's in Carthage that he wanted but we have a similar GE in the garage (it came from the Texas sewing room) and the handles on these bins crack easily. Vince is a bit rough with things and both handles were cracked within the first year. I ...
A New Fridge
The garage fridge has died . . not totally dead yet but for all practical purposes, it might as well be gone. The temp inside the fridge is 56 degrees. The freezer part still works but the fridge is 21 years old so we're probably not going to try to fix it. For at least two weeks before we left to go out of town, I kept complaining about milk and cream and sour cream. They were going bad way ...
Playing Catch Up
It's been at least four years since I left home for a week and I've forgotten how hard it is to get caught up and back on track. This morning I was getting ready to make meatballs and sauce and decided it would be a good morning to go to the Farmers' Market so we did and we made a good haul. I think the only thing I forgot to include was a quart of honey. Shown and I'll try to go left to ...
The Price You Pay For Leaving!
I should have taken a picture of our yard when we got home. It rained and stormed and rained and stormed . . several times while we were gone. We were lucky we didn't have any damages. They had to cancel this month's Food Truck Friday in Carthage because the park has so much damage. There are so many trees totally uprooted or with the tops completely twisted out, and way too many houses with tarps ...
