Ta Da Dump,knitting and More

I have had questions lately about my dump. Yes it is a real dump where you take the garbage and this is the name of the road it is on cute huh. We have a heated, lovely room that people put things in that other people may be able to use. You would be surprised at what is left or maybe you wouldn't ha!

And here is my latest haul. These movies are brand new all the wrapping are still on.

And from the same box, still all wrapped. I have not tried it yet but for free hey I will give it a try.

On the knitting front I am making 2 needle mittens. For some reason the way the picture was taken it looks like the thumb is out of proportion but really it is not it fits great.

Dinner tonight was left overs in another form. I used hamburg but you could use ground turkey,

a lot of veggies, a can of low fat biscuits,some spaghetti sauce, and a healthy amount of cheese. kids would love this and a great way to sneak in veggies.

We had a little snow and then a lot of rain at freezing temps. Our driveway could of been used for luge trials. We skyped Miss Baby last night she is now licking the screen when she see us ha she makes us laugh so much. It is cold tonight so we are hugging the wood stove and playing cards. I won last time by 100 points which isn't much David is calling for a rematch. Stay warm and cozy.

Respect yourself. You're the best judge of what's right.

Cracker Jacks

This is our house it looks so nice in the snow, naah just kidding. WE did get snow, but this is an oil painting I got at a resale shop for 30.00 I just love it, the color is so much better in person.

I think I am a reasonably intelligent person but holy cow I can not get my head around knitting. The circular needles are to long. I have done and redone and I am going to give up I think. Not as much fun as I thought it might be for me.

While pondering my knitting problem I am eating crackerjacks. When I was a kid I was in the money if I could buy a box of crackerjacks. I even remember how much, 9cents per box(this bag is 1.09)

and if I had a dime I had a penny left over for the gum machine. If I was really lucky I got a charm with my gum. I had a box of charms and prizes from crackerjacks. My friend and I would trade them and see who had the best stash.  

 After I got home I heard someone shoveling our walkway. It was a young man from the fire department, they have a list of who shovels for us.  The most amazing thing he had just come from getting a root canal! David and I very humbled and over whelmed with our community.( One of the other guys plows us out )

I would love for you to visit a new blogger! I met jody though an email she sent when we were still figuring out David's condition. She is a strong amazing woman tell her I said hi.

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

That is David with Miss Baby. Everyone was healthy so we took a chance. We are on day 66 that means 34 more days until David is cleared to do something else like see Miss Baby but who could wait any longer? we haven't seen her in person in 3 months. enough is enough. and as you can see by my husband's face it was worth it! We got to exchange our Christmas gifts  I gave miss baby some board books my daughter just gets out of her mouth " Oh she loves board books" When Miss Baby takes one of the pages and bent it in half.(it is thick cardboard) I had to laugh it was like there no more board books!
She is such a joy she makes us laugh so much and we got to see her take some steps. She really thinks about it before she trys to walk. She is looking at me like enough gram I need lunch.

On the way home we went ta da dump. I got this cutie wrong season but it will look good this fall on my table. When I pull out the fall things I will weed something out. That is one of my new resolutions also. something comes in then something must go out.

It screams Acorn Hollow to me

Well we all tucked in for the night a bit tired from all the excitement today.

I got the new Mary Jane's farm today and I am reading a great book.

Night Road by Kristin Hannah If you have never read her you should give her a try.

the other titles I loved were

Firefly Lane

and

Winter Garden

I stopped and got the correct needles for the hats I want to knit (I got the wrongs ones when I turn tail and ran.) My goal is socks I want to make socks so much. So if anyone has a very easy pattern I would love to have it.

One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach, one can collect only a few.
