Old Santa, Parade, Skillet, Emmy, and The Accident

 Good Morning

fellow bloggers!

While surfing FB I keep running

across pics of items that I 

remember as a kid that are

not longer around. 

HAHA

Yes, I remember Santa.

Pretty sure I did not have one

of these but I remember

people wearing these since

they were a pin.

 If I remember correctly, you

pulled the bell, nose lite up and the 

arms and legs danced outward.

Check this out...

 

I have never seen a city 

that had a Halloween Parade,

I love Halloween, 

I am putting this on my calendar!

While being on FB the last

month or so I have noticed

skillets with impressions

on the back. Must be a new

fad. This one really got

my attention cause I love

Dolly. My question is, when 

a woman slaps this up against

her hubs head, will the impression

it leaves on his face be a 

reminder to not cheap with 

Jolene again?

haha..

sorry, could not resist. 

Now to explain for those

that have never heard this,

it was a saying I heard growing

up. It basically referred to men

that did not GET things and the 

wife hitting them over the 

head with a skillet to get their

attention.

The upper part of this 

blog was started a few days

ago.

Now, I have things to 

blog about so I can finish 

this post!

haha

Sometimes I like blogging ahead

but other times I like

doing it as I live..

not sure which I really like

best.

Few nights ago I had dinner at

Ambers, she made a new

meal. It was really good.

I enjoyed it, the boys and 

spending time with just 

Amber, the boys and of 

course Emmy Lou.

Now, this really should not

surprise you but 

I had an accident yesterday.

Sorry, pics not the best.

I was working outside, just 

puttering around, I got in the 

shed and went through the boxes

that I brought up from storage

a week ago. I found stuff I forgot

I had! haha.....

Anyway, I took the metal detector out to 

see if I could find anything in the yard,

that once was woods. I did not and I walked

over to put it in the shed, near the door

so if I wanted it again after I bring 

more from storage, I could get to it.

Then I realized I needed something

from inside the shed.

I slipped, shin hit the edge of the shed

opening.

The pic above does not show

how big this is, about the size

of my fist. 

And it hurt like a, well, what

I was going to say was not 

so nice, it just hurt.

I decided to go in the house

and stay on the couch!

Course, I took ice with me.

I ended up going to the walk in 

clinic. Why? Cause last yr when I 

dropped a drawer on my toe, I did not 

go and have it checked. It ended up 

getting infected.  I thought I would stop

that from happening first. I am a diabetic,

under control without meds, but I still

need to be careful. AND you all know,

careful is hard for me.

Anyway, doc said, go home, stay off

it, and ice it.

I DID!

This morning, just a tad swelling.

Little pain.

Now, let me explain. 

My mom always said I was 

an accident waiting to happen!

I guess I have always been.

But these days, due to my 

Fibro, my muscles are weak.

I do not have steps or a ramp 

to the shed, I plan on having a 

small deck put on it so that I 

can just wheel my saws out and 

work off the deck without sawdust

getting in the shed.

I stood in front of the shed, 

DECIDING

if I could just step up that

space and raise myself in...

I decided to go for it

and now you see the results!

I need steps that I can just remove

once the deck is being built.

This would be the cheapest

way till the build.

I am flipping the blocks 

the other way so I am not

putting rocks in mine.

This will be a fast fix.
