Monday Morning Hello

This will be a picture heavy post ...it was a great last few days, busy with family and friends. so nothing productive craft wise to show you.. my soap is all over the living room waiting to be packaged.. its a dreary sprinkly day so maybe today i will get to the soap...
the most exciting thing is...... whoo hooo i got this text from Jeffs Tonya!!!
Jeff and Grandbabe #2 asked it she legally wanted to be part of their lil family!!
i asked her what she said and it was a BIG YES!!

 

i know he wont be wearing his cap for his wedding!

Jeff said the date is up to her!! whooo hooo! 

congratulations! Tonyas been a wonderful addition to the family!! 

 

Sister Jana, Carol P and I hit the Garden store in town which was

my family's store. Mom/Dad sold it about 7 years ago. A friend bought it

and also has a floral shop in a nearby town. Mom found a mothers day planter on

her porch from her.. Dawn never misses a beat and has lots of energy!

 

Dawns a curb shopper like me and is a great decorator. 

 

Cindy girlfriend and I went to 2 church sales sat and had a blast..

then her sister Janie called and said there was a white dresser on the curb

down by her house...sooo off we go before even unloading from our sales..

when we got there the gal said we have a house full of stuff  we are putting out on the curb so

if you want to look... sooooo we put out the call for help!

we ended up with 3 truck loads!! Fun!!

 

Mom, Dad and 2 of their 11 Grandsons and 1 of their 3 great grands....

Daughter Angie is the only Girl so far!

 

Enjoy your day!          Jody

 

 

 

 

Friday.. already again

these are a couple treasures i found at the sale last Saturday.. cute vintage owl salt and pepper for daughter Angela and i collect salty and peppy shakers. i will eventually show those to you! the other side of these has another face but i forgot to get a picture.
Cindy called this am and we may head out in the morning for a sale, love this time of year and............next week is curb shoppen altho i have already found a redwing crock
with a break on the bottom! perfect in the garden! whoo hoo!

 

my husband had grown up in Europe so introduced me to

peanut sauce. I made some a couple days ago and the next day had it with chicken.

its good on baked potatoes too! or just about anything.. 

 

Here is the moose down the road from sister Janas a good mile or soo 

 

The moose finely visited sister Jana... shes been waiting! 

 

so after they mentioned they may put the moose down if it doesn't leave town there

has been alot of controversy.. thank goodness! Its young and never

was taught to be afraid of humans.. hopefully he will head out and find a friend..

I'm sure we will hear today his where abouts!

 

Enjoy your day!!!        Jody

Tasha Tudor Day...

i had great expectations of playing in the yard from 8am-10am then coming in and working on soap for the shop, for a couple hours and then ebay stuff...but then i walked over to chat with mom/dad and its already 10:30am! Sister Jana did stop by and so i put her to work helping me move a couple big things in the yard. we couldn't find a 6 foot wood lounger that my grandfather made years ago anywhere...thought we were loosing our minds or at least mine..after she left i found it in the rafters of the garage..so my helpful boys musta put it up there so..it will have to stay there til they come home. Anyway I'm a bit off my schedule but am still heading outside for a bit to play and get lots of Tasha Tudor PEACE AND JOY, then will get busy...

Cindy girl has found a comfy warm place in my wool and fabric...

 kittys got their summer hair cut yesterday!

Frisco is helping me with my blog altho i think is sneaking some napping in..

i made flounder with a lemon/caper sauce last night... i don't think
i have really had flounder before and found it kinda tasteless.. does anyone
have a good recipe for it. or is it kinda tasteless? i have more..

the moose was escorted out of town a couple miles but has found his
way back... i wish he would leave and find some friends before
other measures are taken... a couple kids i guess walked up and petted it....
which is not a good thing...

Enjoy your day and i will soon stop by to visit my blogging friends! i miss reading what you are all up too!! thanx so much for stopping by!!        jody
