Salvation Army

Thursday my daughter, husband and I ran to Centralia to do a few errands (all had to go so we picked her up) and we stopped by Salvation Army for Jaymee to look for a frame. She had no luck with that but the store had all clothes for $1.oo. I got these 4 shirts, she got 3 shirts and got my son 1. Not bad for $8.00 and tax.

Crocheted Towel Holder




I just found this on pinterest and had yarn and a hook right here (even the right size of hook) and I made it up in less than 15 minutes! This might just be a gift ideal. Will have to change yarn colors but..... I was also thinking of using a plastic ring maybe and crochet around it. Keep the towel off the counter and can change towels easily.

The picture was taken at an angle so in the first one it looks like rows are crooked. And for once they aren't! :)

Was trying to set the date on my camera and it jumped a day ahead. Also an hour ahead. Was working on that this a.m. so will have to look again.

Early Sunday shots






Cucumber beetles in a bloom of my sons blue pumpkins.

Some of the bird house gourds growing.

It seems our pond the last couple of years is really good at growing cattails. With our drought and the water levels down we need to get these taken care of.

The sun rise this a.m.. So pretty! The temps are lovely. Another glorious day that the Lord has provided us with.

The sheep we have at home now. Lambs are at another place. We are thinking these ewes are all bred now.

Cheese Danish


I made these yesterday a.m. for work and they were a hit.

Unroll an 8 oz. tube crescent dough and separate into 4 rectangles. Seal perforations; cut each in half, making 8 squares. Beat 4 oz. cream cheese with 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar; spread 1 Tbsp. diagonally across each square. Top with 1 Tbsp. raspberry jam (I used strawberry preserves). Pinch 2 opposite corners of dough over filling to seal. Bake on parchment paper-lined baking sheets at 375 for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. combine 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar with 2 tsp. milk and drizzle over danishes. Makes 8e

Another piece


This is the chest he got too

Makeover




My son redid his room from camo walls to a solid color. Have some things to do yet but almost there. The one area was a window we blocked off and I think we will get some real tree fabric and put in there. This chest and a dresser he got at a flea market store.

Pickles our cat (was daughters but she stayed when Jaymee left) thought she would help as we were looking at redoing our chairs.

Red and Green
