Christmas Memories, Bombing, Kyler and his Nana Pam, Shed, and Pain

Image
 I love memories that pop up on my FB feed. This was in the house I owned in Old Hickory TN. By the way, do you know how that  city got its name? Anyway, this was an old sled my ex left behind when we divorced. I decided to work it in with the  Christmas decor. My daughter now has it, cause I  put shelves on it for displaying of  Christmas stuff. The wooden deer, I cut out and stained YEARS (we will leave it at that) ago. Guess I should have removed the birdhouse, or at least decorated it. My wreathes. You see, back growing up, mom and dad never (and I am not sure if it was even a thing) did not decorate outside. Even though we had a good porch  rail for hanging lights, it was not done. I always liked having the windows all dressed up also. So, three windows on the front of the  house, and they all had to have a wreathes. Which by the way, I still hang these same wreathes here. I hung them at my childhood hom when I lived that also. A view from inside ...

My Girls, Thanksgiving and Funny Face Day, Practicing With Flowers

Image
Friday after the big over stuff, gobble till you Wobbled day, the girls and I crashed. It was cold, I was worn out, so  we pretty much hugged the couch for the day. They were so into it that it did not bother them to be this close. Or should I say that Lily did not  mind it! I love when the temps turn  off colder cause Lily Bit seems to need the warmth of the back of Mom's legs. I love this view, seems to make Lily look like she has the longest legs! Don't get me wrong, she is a slender,  long legged girl but not as long as they ' look in this pic! I am hoping that you all had a great  turkey day. Personally, I don't care for turkey, I like ham so I always pick up a spiral cut ham for the big event. I also make sure that I get a can of  this... ⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣ You see I purchase a can just for me,  I love it, but I am the only one that eats it. DJ refers to it as "OLD people" food. However, image my surprise what Boog, 7 yrs  old started eating it. H...

Painting, Porch and A Star

Image
I sure hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and Gobbled till you Wobbled! I know you all have to know what I did AGAIN on Monday! Yep, painted. Last time I made a trip to my brothers he had a guy at the house cutting down trees for where he is going to have his man cave garage built. While there, the guy also prepared the tree into lubber, I think it’s called “ plating”??? No clue. But when the guy left Ray had boards of lumber. In processing the tree to lumber there were a couple of nice thin pieces with the bark still on the other side. Soon as Lori, SIL saw them she knew I needed them. Monday, I put my stamp, or should I say brush to them. Craft booth paintings for sure. Over a week ago I painted these reindeer but on Monday I finally got around to putting the finishing touch on. Then I threw together a couple more angels.  Wow… when this show is done I am going to crash.  I have not taken five days like last yr to put out my Christmas. I got this done and so far, this is ...

More Painting, Kyler

Image
Hi all! Got a call the other day, my shed is ready and they were setting me up for delivery! Wednesday is delivery day. I am so excited. I have paints spread out in the dining room, was making angels in the living room and I just have a big ole mess in the craft. Get this stuff out of the house and I will be even happier. Saturday I did a little cleaning and I painted a couple of pieces. These are thick and are made to sit on a shelve.  Sunday I went and hung out at Ambers. Caleb and the grands were there.  Kyler is so adorable. I think he sort of likes his Nana Pam. I It’s Sunday evening here and Monday is knocking at the door. Mondays really don’t make much of an impact on me since retiring! But then again Fridays don’t either. Lol… But here is hoping you have a great week. Pam
