February Photo A Day #6

Recently we lifted the mattress and box spring on our bed to clean underneath. It's where we store our card table and 4 chairs. 

It was our cat Smudge's favorite hiding place when people were over that he didn't know. Needless to say, we vacuumed more cat hair up in just that one spot than we get in the whole house! 


Then we placed the table and chairs in a position for easy retrieval before we put the mattress and box spring back down. 

See you tomorrow!

February Photo A Day #5

We had a big snow and Shauna and the boys built a snowman. I like how they used their Bristle blocks to make the eyes and mouth! 


See you tomorrow!

February Photo A Day #4

Although Estate Sales are few and far between right now my friend and I did manage to fine one recently. I thought this phone was very unique. I didn't think the price was bad at $10 either but of course I didn't buy it. 



See you tomorrow!

February Photo A Day #3

Empty toilet paper rolls are a great way to store charging cords and other things.  


And if you're semi-organized like me, you reinforce them with clear packing tape and label them! 

See you tomorrow!

February Photo A Day #2

 Today we are going waaayyyy back!


This is my grandparents on their wedding day. They were married on October 15,1927. 

If this picture doesn't scream the 1920's, I don't know what does!

See you tomorrow!

February Photo A Day #1


Welcome to my 3rd annual February Photo A Day posts, where I post a picture every day for the month of February. They may be current or old or very old, depending on whatever I feel like that day. Let's get started and I hope you enjoy them! 

Every Christmas Shauna and I make cookies together and every year she gets me a cooking related ornament. 

This is the one she got me this year! 


It's much prettier than it looks in the picture! I love it!

See you tomorrow!

Random Stuff and a Birthday

I hope you all had a nice New Year celebration! I'm happy to report that I managed to stay awake until midnight! I kept dozing off but forced myself to stay awake. The result of that was then I couldn't go to sleep until after 1:00! Go figure! My sleep issues don't care what year it is! 

I don't make NY resolutions as a rule, but I did write down some things I really want to get done this year:

  • I want to finish scanning my photos. It's a project that I started when I retired and got about 1/3 of the way done before pooping out! I really need to finish that! 
  • Our whole house needs painting on the inside so I'm hoping to get that done before the holidays this year! 
  • I want to paint the trim on our shed and the back steps, which I wanted to get done in the fall but never got around to! 
  • I have about 6 craft projects I've started but never finished, so I'm hoping to get those done! 

I will give it my best and hope my lazy, procrastinating self doesn't take over! Working doesn't help but I only work about 15 hours a week so that's no excuse! 

Anyway, call me crazy but did you know you can iron tissue paper?

 



It's doesn't come out perfect but good enough to wrap something or stick out of a gift bag! Normally I would just buy new because it's so cheap, but I had particular colors I wanted to use so this worked out good! 

Today is Maxwells 6th birthday. Yesterday was his party! Besides family he had some friends from school too! 




That's about it for now. I'm going to take a small blogging break so I can get ready for the February Photo A Day posts.  It's coming up fast! 

Until then stay safe and well, my friends!
