updates

that last post was an error--I thought I was composing it on my recipe site and then realized--after posting it--thatit was here instead--I decided to leave it here ( and put it on the recipe site as well..)

I haven't posted for quite a while--nothing changes much from day to day it seems. I work and take care of the house and talk to the kids and visit with the grands. and its all good and lovely--but not really exciting to talk about!!!!

I do have three whole days off in a row due to the holiday--that's pretty exciting to me!!!!

stuff I have done this summer: fixed, painted and remodeled a bathroom--it had some water damage but now is all beautiful--new vanity and everything.

we put up a small above ground pool and I have been loving that-- swimming everyday. we got it up late and it is almost time to take it down for the season--but it will be easy to set up again in the spring so... I have been wanting to get one for years and we finally found one ( at Big Lots on sale) for a very good price. The grands have been over a bunch to swim and that's been fun too.

the garden is doing well--we have nice tomatoes and sweet corn. some cucumbers and of course zuchinni and the chard-my favorite--is still producing well. in fact i think I'll make a chard quiche today. so very yummy!

my newest hobby is making a doll house. Also something that I have wanted to do for years. (and years and years) I realized after starting it this spring that it really is a winter hobby--too much to do outside to want to spend time in the house. we tend to stay out till way after dark because the weather has been so very beautiful this last month.

but the little house waits' til the cold settles in and then I'll be working on that. I already have some fabulous things for it --(the CUTEST little push lawn mower,and a wringer wash tub and a clawfoot bathtub.....LOL) I don't know why I find miniatures so fascinating; I just do!

that is all for now. i'll try and be better about updates!
