All Around Post - of Course
HAHA...
Yikes for the TURKEY!
I usually go for the ham
anyway.
I know you all might
get tired of these next
type of post but I
do it to educate folks.
Something folks don't understand
is that it steals so much from
you. I have fought for 12 yrs
to not let it grab me and hold
onto me...
but it has gotten me.
You lose yourself to the pain.
A lot of things I used
to do and I loved
doing are gone now.
Just cleaning house is a
struggle. When I feel good I
really try to get things done.
I will pull out paints and
paint but then I don't feel
like putting them up.
They might sat there for
days before I get back to
them. Yesterday I sat
and surfed the internet all
day yesterday, except when
the fatigue hit and I had
to lay down, then I napped.
And when I had to get out
and go feed at the barn.
Thank you all for being so
kind and understanding.
Now moving on....
haha, I saw these on Pinterest
yesterday, hoping to not offend
anyone but this style is not for me!
Yesterday on the way to feed
at the barn I saw this.
Then on the way home
I saw this.
I love when folks show
their personality in ways like
this! Makes me smile.
OH NO....
he is legal now.
18 and now has his drivers
license.
How is it possible I have a grandson
that old and driving?
Don't answer that..haha
You can tell I flipped through this
book a lot.
Got some cool hints in it.
Here is one for you...
Way to kill household oders~
Put a few drops of wintergreen oil
on a cotton ball and place in each
room out of site.
Last for months.
Not sure what type of oil but
it says you can get it at
the drug store.
Wonder if essential oils
will work. Going to try it.
While at the barn yesterday evening
I took a shot of this.
I made this about a yr ago for
Misfires stall.
I added this to her door
yesterday.
RIP Roy Clark...
85 yrs old.
Met him once on the set
of Hee Haw Honey's
(a take off from Hew Haw).
So who knows what yr I am
on in showing my
painted Christmas cards?
I remember!
Year 5.
Which reminds me, I have
my card painted but I have
not set it up in card form.
Requires a trip upstairs to
one guest room and dig out
the desk top computer.....
need to get on that......
later......
today......
tomorrow.....
who knows!
One of my problems is that
while I sit....
I look around and not
only do I see things that
need doing I see things
I want to change.
Over a year ago I saw this
on Pinterest.
My banister used to look
something like this.
Although the side furtherest away
on mine is a wall so no banister there.
And where they
have two steps going up before the
wall takes over mine had 4.
So....yes, on a really good day
I ripped out the banister.
Oh my gosh, that was fun!
And I put in this.
Which is my take on the first
pic I showed you.
I love it. It is full of mistakes
but unless you look hard you
don't see them.
It was really my first attempt
at building. Its up there,
its level and it has not fell
yet so I am pleased.
When looking for a way
to change my banister I
surfed my fave place....
PINTEREST
and was amazed at the different
things you can do.
I actually love the
craftsman style and thought
about doing this.
I like the block style. My top rail
was dark wood like this one above
and years ago I had painted the spindles
going down in white like this one.
But NO...I could not so something
as simple as blocking in my first
part of it. I had to rip it all out!
Sometimes I bite off more than I
should.
Do you do that? Bite off more then
you should or can handle?
Do you see things in the home
you want to change and before
thinking jump in and start it?
Today, the temps are supposed to
get up to 55 degrees and I hope to
get out on the deck and do some cleaning
up and preparing it for winter. Lily
will be happy, been days since she has
been able to do the deck.

It's out in the garden where I bite off too much. Like when I built a retaining wall we had to have replaced years later (my bricks were a bit too small for the job ). And the year I cut down our hedges only to learn that once the tops were gone there was no way to feasibly remove the stumps. ~sigh~ Those were pre-Internet eras, I must add. ~grin~ Take care, my dear.
I'm way too old to rip into projects!!! -grin- When younger, I might get a huge urge, to do a huge clean up project. But never built anything. Your building is amazing!!!
Your *old* grandson. -chuckle- Our first grand daughter is 26, and an electrical engineer. But then, our oldest child, is 59!
See? It all depends on the view point! :-))))

Wishing you a good weekend ahead, with not too much pain.
My good wishes
All the best Jan
Enjoyed the vehicle art. Some folks are most creative.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. I too hope it's pain free. ♥
I suffer from it, too. The loss of sleep from pain keeping me awake drains me to where I feel like a Zombie at times. My only medication is soaking in a hot bath, a baby aspirin and Arnica Gel.
I love the Gothic look or the Country Manor look. I usually decorate in earth tone colors. I don't care for modern furnishings and I am far from being a minimalist :)
I like your staircase very much.
You are very talented...being creative is a good thing!!!
As for curtains, I don't like those at all.
Congrats to your grandson on getting his license.
((Hugs)) I do not have fibromyalgia but I can relate. I have my stage 3 COPD which means my lungs work at on 50% yet no one can see that from the outside. Even my own family doesn't get it! I also have A-Fib of the heart which also can give you shortness of breath. I can't do the things I use to be able to do and it brings me down. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
I admire the fact that you still get things done with the pain you have to deal with. So what if things don't get done right away. The only judge is yourself. I need to listen to my own advice sometimes ;)

Yep- I have been known to rip something all apart on a whim, too. It's in my blood!
Love your shelves on the stairway. It looks great.
I hope you have a blessed, wonderful, pain-free Sunday- xo Diana
