A Hodge Podge of Things

 

I have been having some dryer issues so

my youngest brother Mark came over

to see what he could do to fix the issues.

 

When he walked in the door he handed me

this!

 

 

A cast iron dog.

He had gotten this at Hobby Lobby and

decided to paint it.

After painting it his wife Kim told him

it looked like a hotdog.

Mark then added the yellow paint....

MUSTARD.

 

I love it.

 

This next pic was not taken by me.

But this is my brother Mark in Fla.

holding his catch of the day!

Pretty big.

 

Flipping through my pics to decide

what this blog would be about and

I saw this. I took it several

months ago on the desk of

my co worker.

No, no, no.....it was not

like that when I saw it.

But this is what can happen

when you leave your office

for just a few minutes.

 

 

Yikes.....the end of August and the leaves

are starting to turn in the Nashville Tn

area.

Took this over the weekend.

Heard this morning where we have gotten

as high as 97 this yr...that is

a far cry from the 100 plus we usually

have. I have loved it.

 

My kitchen table. Given to me

by my oldest brother Ray and his

wife Lori.

I was not sure what I wanted to do with it

but I started to strip the top when I

finally realized that I might just

hit it with a sander and seal it.

 

 

I have these projects in my head that

just will not go away. Problem is

I know that I can't take them on

like I use to.

 

This is my kitchen.

Over look the clutter.

But I am thinking of redoing my cabinets.

Please stop me now!! lol

 

I saw this look in a cream and gray. Wow...it

looked great. You know how fresh paint

looks.

 

But...there again, I think I am talking myself

out of.

If I do paint them again,

I might go with the cocoa brown on

bottom and cream on top...removing

the ivy.

 

That is a hard choice because my son that

is in Calif. now helped me to paint

the ivy on there. I taught him to stencil

when he was about 9 or 10 and he did a lot

of this. He is 26 now.

 

But I will keep that project in my head till

I decide if I can take it on.....or at least

till I finish some others that are started.

 

Sitting a stop sign in the neighborhood the

other day and this guy rides by...

When I caught up to him he was in one lane and

me at the other....stopped at a red light of course.

 

I talked to him about his dog and he

said that the dog loved to ride.

I thought yep....you rev that thing

up anywhere near my dog and he

is

GONE!

Scared of everything.

 

Found this on facebook and I loved it.

So true..

Growing up in the 70's was a great time.

Wishing my kids and my grandkids could

have enjoyed the carefree days.

 

Saw this of FB this morning...

lol....had to laugh, I threw some

of those hangers away just the other day.

Whoops...

Who knew?

 

Also saw this one this morning....lol.

I have a special person in mind for this one.

And I have often said this about that person

many times.

 

I have started working on these again.

Winter scarves.

 

I like to keep them made up for

a fast gift.

 

Cobi Montgomery-

nephew-

move in day at college...

first yr.

 

have fun, study hard...

 

My mom's neighbors....

 

So funny to come to her house and pull in

the drive to hear crowing and chicken noises.

 

Never would have heard this in the hood while

growing up...

but the law was past that you can have

chickens in the neighborhood now.

 

Not ROOSTERS.

 

Mom says crowing at 4 or 5 am is a pain.

 

Thank you for stopping in,

Please come again,
