Finished

I have had to work the past two Saturdays not my favorite thing to do.

So they gave me today off (Monday!) I watched the sun come through the trees

and headed for the hospital to get some blood drawn (just the yearly thing)

By the time I got home I was so hungry. So a scone that I made Sunday and a

cup of coffee and I was good to go.

And I finished! Yahoo! ok the binding is left to do but it is

steamed and ready.

I said I would not decorate for fall but we are having company

next weekend I had to do a little.

My Brother in law and his wife are coming for the weekend

we are touring 6 NH vineyards and going to see a show at the college

a very fun weekend.

My one thrift find this week is a rock yes a rock that has been drilled for a candle

holder. I have seen these and really like the look and for 1.00 its a deal.

And to top the day off we went kayaking and saw the loons

getting ready to leave in the next month. I would say

we fit a lot into my Monday.

Have a great week.

Well not much happening these past few days. One yard sale I bought this picture for 1.00

It has an issue on the lower left corner but still a great find for 1.00.

I went into a thrift or use to be a thrift on my way to the drug store. Full blown retail.

sooo I will not be stopping there much any more. This book cracked me up it is from

1956 and thought it would be great blog material.

We did kayak the past two days, on the way out today we passed about 2 dozen wild turkeys.

 

and of course we saw loons on both ponds. On one pond there were 2 young loons

learning to take off which takes the whole length of the pond to get in the air.It is an amazing sight

I have been cooking up a storm lots of veggies so good this time of year.

To everyone in the south take care of yourself.

My brother is on the coast in Mississippi so I have a few prayers going his way.

Is it proper to smoke a pipe of any kind at a formal dinner when cigarettes and cigars are passed?

Yes, if one of the new, small dress pipes(really a dress pipe?) is used and the tobacco is mild.

boy how times have changed:)

 

Tomatoes By The Boat Load

Our tomatoes are starting to ripen by the boat load. I am on my own tonight

so it is a grilled sharp cheddar, tomato, and with our fresh basil. OHHH I

am so happy. I have a mike's hard lemonade to go with it perfect ahhhh.

Here are the DNA boys, I love this picture! My brother in law and sister in law came Sat

night to stay over. We went for a paddle, had grilled steak, and played some whist. Of course the DNA boys won. They tell us they are now one.

This is all I have from the thrift store. I would like to can some of my

tomatoes and make some apple butter and I thought this may come in handy.

I did pass up a very new pair of ski boots at the dump in the original box.

Since I don't ski and my daughter at this point very little

I left them for a skier to find.

My sister in law (husband's sister) wants to go yard sailing with me this weekend.

So she is coming on Friday to stay over so we can get an early start.

I am looking for modern canning things to help out with the cost of canning.

The weather is so amazing right now 80's during the day not a bit of humidity in sight.

nights get to be 50's so nice sleeping with the peepers in full voice.

I have been hooking if you can believe it.

But the shadows are getting long and I see more and more leaves changing.

I am so not ready to let go of this very humid summer yet.

If you feel like a laugh go to yoga for yankees on you tube.

It is pure yankee humor.
