Bread, Dolls and Pet Names

  OH MY GOSH, this has to be the BEST rosemary bread I have  ever made.  I have tried several different types of bread, but a friend shared a recipe that she round and  it is amazing, then I  added garlic and rosemary!! It is GREAT!   I also made some pumpkin bread. I used to make it from scratch but a couple years ago, I found that in the  fall Libby's puts out a box mix, you add eggs,  and oil. I had a mix I  purchased and it was going to be outdated in June, so  I used it.  I have company coming to the house on  Wednesday so I am going to put out finger foods,  pumpkin bread being one  item I am going to put out. Also, I am in waiting for  results to a test I had done Friday, if the biopsy comes back as positive, then bread might have to come off my menu, not sure how I am going to do that, but, I might not have a choice.  My doc keeps an eye on my numbers and after my surgeries in Aug and Sept. she found I am really anemic. According to my records, there was no report of me los

Painting Doors, Sheds, Stones, and Darla's Raised Bed

Image
I follow a page on FB called Painting Proverbs Usually, the doors are cute.....this even even for me is TOO MUCH! Here a few of her doors~ Some cute ones... BUT...that one! WOW! Before I moved my son said, "now mom, you  are moving into a new home,  but promise me that you will not be painting the doors,  or stepping stones!!" WHAT? No, I did not make that promise... haha I painted the front door with my door saying~~ Of course, this is a big  saying from The  Wizard of Oz, plus it was on my door in Old Hickory, I put it on my childhood home and again here. Yep, the shed has been done also. Just to recap the past, front door on my childhood  home and yes, I  painted over it when I moved. I also painted over it  before I moved from  my home of 28 yrs. The back door at my  childhood home got some paint also. But then when I found  the FB page from above, I  took the back door a tad further with the paint.  Cory mentioned that I painted my stepping stones,  I DID! haha However,

Church, BW Gate, Mower, Spread, Company, and Misty

Image
 Headed to the chiro  on Thursday which is not  my given day but I switched up days this week. Tad early for the apt. so I  rode around a bit looking for Johnthan's (restaurant) for  a lunch coming up so I would know where to go. When I  came across this cute church. ADORABLE!!! You know I love gates,  esp. when I make them B&W. This one is nice cause you can see through the gate. My normal day for chiro is Monday and Wed. but due to having guest visit on Wed. I changed that day to Thursday. Friends, Vic, Mitzi and  Julie were coming  to visit....Vic and Mitzi were delivering my  mower to me. Chris had it since I moved to work on it. Friday is suppose to be a  NO rain day so grass will get its second cutting this yr. I have had visitors to the  house but not friends that I was going  to entertain. I actually did a little spread.  Homemade Rosemary bread.....oh yum,  the best I ever made. We had regular store  bought bread, Rosemary bread,  chicken salad, ham and turkey. Peptia

Correction, Family, Stature, Camera, Flag and Feeders

 Correction~~ Great granny was not  96, she was 91. My granddaddy. Find this pic wild...the image behind granddaddy looks like a dog.  Great Granddaddy, gone  at 38 with a raptured appendix in 1918. I had a doc apt in Nashville the  other day but was a little early so I stopped at the  At Home Store. I saw this.... Hard to tell, it's about knee high for me. I had to laugh when I saw this, cause I had one just like this in the 70s!  Someone pulled the 70s mold out to remake these! A couple weeks ago I saw this at Wally World. Not exactly like the one I had but with that said, it is really close. This is what I started my photography skills on  in my early teens. BUT THE PRICE!!! WOW... Price on the film is crazy too. I also saw this at  The Home Store... Oh how much fun that would be to make! Talking about making, I stopped at GW in Mt Juliet last weekend when I went to photograph the wedding.  I found this blue and  red lantern there. I had plans for them. There is four pieces of

Painting Bday Cards and Thank You Cards

Image
 I have so much  to do before guest on  Wed. but today was  chiro adjustment so  I have not felt like much of doing anything. But while I sat and did not much of anything, I decided to paint cards. I painted a bday card for Theresa, whose  bday is not till the  end of  Sept. HAHA Ahead of the game. Even putting in  envelopes and addressing them, and placing them in a certain spot. She loves Snoopy. I also did DJ's, in  Nov.  Julies whose bday is in August. On the inside I wrote,  always dance, dance in the moon light, dance in the sun, and dance in your dreams. This is not a card, it is something I made for  my Mexico food loving grandson, DJ. I will paint an 8x10 canvas and then apply this to that for him to hang in his room. And then Braden's which is  in Sept.  My great grandson's bday  in Sept. My oldest brothers bday which is in June. Thank you card for Theresa for planning my going away retirement party. And one last Thank you  card for Tammy. I need to get up early i
