Project Monday!!!

We will continue on with the story of the cupboard handles we got the other day at Al's ( everything store)

With all the the latest technology( shim and magic marker) we began

Marking, smiling, talking, smiling......




WAIT DOUG.....HIGHER DOUG....STRAIGHTEN THAT UP....HIGHER....STRAIGHTER... DON'T SLANT THAT!!!!


Yes Dear.......


Finished product









With no help from the peanut gallery!!!


Later on a good movie"Get Low" with Robert Duvall, then hamburgers and fries at "Five Guys"( is that right)

Some good ole homemade ice cream and a game of sequence, The day came to a good close......





And not to be forgotten, good ole Billie got to ride on the golf cart!

In jolly old England they call them the"Loo"

This is usually a place you can go and THINK you will have privacy and some time to think or just day dream...

I always have company one place or another.

Lurking outside on the bed.






Or inside on the rug (with toy)





Aren't you done yet?!
No respect. Is that what Rodney Dangerfield used to say????

"In and Out"

Everyone has heard of the famous "In and Out" burgers that people rave about. I've even seen some well worn tee shirts from the place.
But I've never tried one, don't even know where one is.
But this has nothing to do with the famous spot.



Here at the house we play the game "In and Out"
all day long.....




I put them neatly in when I am through with the tennis shoes and socks.




She takes them out! Funny part is I never see her take them out.


So I put them back in and.......

She takes them out...( she meaning you know who)...........

DOG AND TOY. More dog and toy pictures to come

I know you just can't wait!!!!!!!!

Toys

Let's talk toys. This is probably one of Billie's favorite toys. It didn't take her too long to find a way to pull all the stuffing out of the body.

It is hilarious to see her grab this and shake it back and forth. Those long legs hit her in the head!!!!

Can you see the hole there??

I found these at WalMart. They have a squeek.

She has absolutely gone wild with these. They fit in her mouth and she can really chew on these. So far they are all in one piece.

She takes them out when she goes out and sets them down, goes and does her you know what, picks them up and brings them in.

She has had a couple of donuts that squeeked but she soon chews out the squeeker

She has a lot of balls.

I think this picture says....."Don't touch my ball"

blog, blah,blah,blah.....

This refuses to turn.

As you can see it is a "Leibman" mop. I give this a rest twice a year and get down on my hands and knees( oh my achin' knees) and mop. Answer me why would anyone put white tile in a kitchen????

So after assembling some necessary tools.

I begin.

A few minor interruptions

She wanted some attention so bad.......

I give up. I have spent more time on this blog than I did scrubbing the floor.......

I really didn't know if this would work.

Consumer beware

Shall I begin by saying a couple of things.

First of all if I don't have my camera tied around my neck I miss out on quite a few things that could be considered blogs.

Second, I am not a cupon person unless I use the item. At my age I just don't use alot of the things that coupons cover......

Saying that I will show you something that made me pretty mad........

Saw a coupon for C&H sugar. I can always use one of thosefor food storage.

Do you notice any difference.

Well I didn't till I got it home and set it on the shelf by some other sugar I have.
I just reached down on the shelf and picked up what I thought was a 5 lb. bag of sugar


SEE......
Sure enough one is a 5 lb. bag the other 4 lb.bag. I didn't even know they made 4 lb. bags.
Well I do now.
So is it a case of stupid consumer ......or get smaller and PAY THE SAME PRICE!!!!!.
Can't wait till I can get back to the store and check things out!!!!

DeGrazia.....

Most of you know I have always liked the artist DeGrazia. I love the simple artistry and different style. DeGrazia lived like a pauper and at one time burned many very expensive works of art because his family would have to pay a hefty amount of taxes on them

About a year ago or maybe more, Carrie and I went to Tucson where the studio of DeGrazia is located.

It is very low key, earthy, hand made, etc and you can see from the entrance to the main studio or probably gift shop...

Just more sticks put together for something I can't remember

One of the displays. Sort of a shrine

Some real pretty rocks

It was a great trip. We went down one day and stayed the night then came back the next day.

Sorry, nothing about Billie on this one...
