motion!!!

it's weird being so far from them and missing the day to day action.....

but!!!! i'm SURE that J & S are happy not to have Mamere breathing down their necks and are loving their "freedom"

turkeys!

yesterday?? decided to take the plunge and joined facebook.......


within hours (maybe minutes!) got a request from my best friend ~~ since second grade!!! yep! when i was 7 i met my bestest friend in the world (sorry husbeast ha!)


how did she dooooooo that??


saw lots of family and friends there.................


weird!


knitting has commenced on the second blue sock


and i've started a scarf
purchased the pattern on Ravelry somewhere.........have had too many Heineken**s to remember where ~~ sorry!

i didn't knit......

a stitch.........while my sweetie pies were here!

the last evening i tried but CDB would come over and say "what's this?" !! he's so funny :)

but.....these were done before they arrived

and.....this is still sitting on the same round

last night i caught up with Rachel's Knitting Room a dishcloth kal sorry for the dark pic! it's had to capture design but if you click you can "see" it

and YIPPEE! i won last month's Sockamania drawing ~~ yummy yummy yarn-y!!!

"climbing" the driveway

why yes! those ARE scissors (he was cutting grass!)

pooped out! ~~ and one of our last pics of tuna :(

finds?

there are some antique stores hanging around and being bored one day we walked thru..........

most of the things are junk ~ but were funny ~ brought back some great memories!

i remember all the glasses from the fast food places and such my dad used to buy/have ~ those are going for about $9 to $15 EACH! porky pig, petunia pig, sylvester, tweety, smurfs, etc

#1 son has an old milkshake machine ~ the "newer old" ones are going for about $145!

t'was very weird...............

i found-ed this........

it's a swift!i might have to go back and get it........i was really looking for a spinning wheel......

...oh and i found a pakistan walking stick that i REALLY want.....it's got a nice poker/sharp metal tip to stab things with?........i'm thinking SNAKE!

toys!

the start


remember me?



i need some legs please!

where's the rest of me?

thanks for the fin!

i don't usually make toys ~ never been able to stuff or put them together correctly ~ which is why the elephant has no legs!

property walk2

on your way down the back "yard" you must pass the cute bunnies!

on the side near the piggie pen

trail way back and up the other side mountain

husbeast(ha!) calls this the "scary lake"

pretty flowers!

say "HI! "


the house is a 4br 2bath ranch, VERY much like our previous home ~ with every room reversed......but without the hardwood floors (gosh, i miss my 1955 hardwood floors!)......and with an extra bedroom and bathroom.......i've only ever lived with one bathroom and it was kinda crazy with 3 ~oh yea, 4 counting husbeast(ha!)~ boys! ~ but we made it and now it's weird having an "open" or extra bathroom! it's also weird living in a house that is 13 years old versus 55 years old!! the OLD house was "more better" put together?

property walk

ohhhhh, spooky!


out there somewhere!

down down the back "yard" looking up towards house

ack! this has to gooooooooo......

it's pretty interesting here ~ i get lots of requests for pics of the house ~ but our major reason for purchasing was..........what you see looking OUT of the house!

deer tracks!

one of 6 ~ not safe and removed
