Refrigerator Magnets...

Moon Daisy is going on a school trip to Washington, D.C.,. Her parents are making her raise half the funds, so she has been getting ready for a craft/yard sale. She has been making refrigerator magnets to sell. I decided to help her by making some of my own to add to hers. I spent most of yesterday making these little babies. It was a lot of trial and error. If you like them a tutorial will follow on another day.     

I think they may need haircuts.

Have a great weekend!!!

Unexpected Treasures...

Went on a trip with the church ladies recently. We antiqued a bit on the way home. Here are a couple of my finds...

 One wooden kitty S&P set that used to meow when turned upside down

and these happy, dancing pieces of toast, I could have sworn they called my name. I couldn't wait to get home and put them over my toaster. Turned out there was a small problem-my toaster takes four slices. Waaa, but they still found a loving home. My daughter's toaster just happens to be a two slicer.

Have a fun-filled Friday!!!  

Jammin'...

Jam

Made from the sweet, juicy, delicious flesh of pounds and pounds of fuzzy, reddish/yellow Elberta peaches. Peaches picked by three laughing, bubbly kids on summer break. Picked from the carefully tended tree in their great-grandfather's back yard orchard.

The results...

mmmmmm!!!!

Hoping your weekend is a good one!!!

Good Bye Spa La La...



And a great spa it was.

While there I received a wonderful pedicure courtesy of Moon Daisy. I am generally conservative in everything I do, or is that old, anyway I normally paint my toenails red or pink, but I told Moon Daisy to do whatever she wanted to. I knew I wasn't going anywhere for a while, so I just relaxed and enjoyed the pedicure. I now have the greatest looking green and white toenails I've ever seen. Half white and half green, painted diagonally. She really did a good job. The problem? Tomorrow I leave on a trip with the church and I'm trying to decide which shoes to wear. Do I step out of my comfort zone and go with the open-toed, or do I wear the closed-toed?

Have a great rest of the week!!!

The Spa Treatment...

This is going to be one lazy week. I hope I don't gain 10 pounds.

I am being totally pampered and this includes back massages, someone to prepare the meals, snacks offered every few moments, a chair to prop my feet upon, a large comfy couch complete with blanket and pillow, hugs and snuggles, and sno-cones prepared especially for me.

Where am I? 

At an exclusive spa, perhaps?

In Beverly Hills, maybe? 

On a Caribbean cruise? 

No, I'm staying with the grandkids while their parents are away.

Brown Hawk gives the best massages around and he cooks! He made chicken Taquito's for lunch and a cherry sno-cone for dessert.

He says he's making chicken nuggets and pizza rolls for supper

 while Moon Daisy makes brownies.

Crazy Hair can eat more snack food than ought to be allowed by law, but always offers to share.

Yes, I can tell this is going to be one lazy week.

And I can't wait.

Hope you have a great and lazy week too!!!

Gypsy Cat...

Hubby and I ate at Pulido's Mexican Restaurant tonight. The restaurant has three dumpsters about 50 feet across the parking lot. When you leave you drive to the dumpsters and turn right to get back on the Interstate. One night as we were leaving I noticed two or three cats at the dumpsters and upon closer inspection I realized it wasn't two or three, it was five or six and then seven or eight. Everywhere I looked there was another cat. As I drove down the lane I kept seeing another cat and then another cat and then another one and another one. There must have been 20 cats of all colors. I swore I was going to come back with a crate and take a few home.
Tonight as I arrived I saw a skinny, scraggly looking black and white cat meandering across the parking lot, but when we left I didn't see a single cat. It was kind of sad.
I am a cat lover and will take just about any cat someone wants to give me. We live in the middle of 30 acres and without cats we have mice and snakes. And I love it when I arrive home and they all come running.

Here is one I brought home a couple of weeks ago. 

Her name is Gypsy.

Have a great weekend!!!  

P.S. They are all outside cats.

Happy Fourth Of July...

A Texas Fourth of July.

 Hotdogs, watermelon, music and fireworks.

Happy 236th Birthday America!!!
