Hanging In There

Today was another absolutely perfect day. The weather was in the 50's and later it got cloudy , but it was so comfortable and smelled so good. I managed to get in my two short walks -one in the morning and one in the afternoon. It was kind of a lonesome walk because it seems that most of my wildlife are now in someone's freezer. I Hate that., but it seems that is the way things work when you are young and blindly in love and you have a fellow who lives to hunt.

I fed him the chili beans with the venison burger in them . I had to laugh because I stuck my finger in the broth to see how the seasonings were . BOY - I had surely stumped my toe when I added the salt! LOL - I noticed that   those fellows DRANK a lot of water yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL  Now I know why! LOL

I think this makes the last of the car caddies. Then I started to work on putting the zipper back in my jacket that I had robbed for the jacket for a son. At least I finally got both zippers where they belong! Yea!  ; )

Gamer For Life

Well, Blogger just hates me again. I tried every trick I could think of to post a picture of what I have been working on- All Day Working on! I have finally found something that deer season is good for - For getting men out of the house ! That leaves that you just have to feed them - but still more time to work on Christmas presents.

O MY GOSH - would you look at this! I accidentally hit the wrong button and behold the magic of a boo-boo! LOL  See, I was telling the truth - I completed this car caddy for one of the grandsons who is a game whiz!

I also started working on a jacket , but I must have got too tired and started making mistakes almost right off the bat. I have  made this patter before too! Darn Brain! Wish it would just co-operate!  But, the good Lord willing - I will see what tomorrow brings

Love to all!

Peyton & Hannah car caddy

This car caddy will be for two of the great-granddaughters . Peyton is one and Hannah is only a couple of months. I hope to put a container of wipes and a trash bag and a couple of toys  for each. If I can pull it off - it might make a nice touch to put a baggie of Cherrios for the munchies for the oldest one. I am so pleased with this one. When up close the butterflies are so pretty and cheerful.

It was a lovely day. The guys spent the day hunting and after I had fixed them a pot of turkey soup and chores & laundry -then I spent the time in the sewing room and that is how I am getting my Christmas presents accomplished.

I really need this time desperately - as time is slipping away from me so quickly. I told DH that I wished all of Winter-time could be like today -pretty and sun shiny and warm. I loved it.  I have a load of fabric in the wash machine getting it ready to tackle. Maybe , If I can get to bed early -I can get up nice and early and see what I can accomplish. When it gets this close to Christmas I get the feeling I want to panic because I have not not nearly accomplished what I would love to. I will just have to see how it goes. Money has just been SO tight and fabric sales SO scarce!

Well, DH wants me to make him some biscuits and he is hoping if he puts them in the fridge uncooked that he can fix them in the morning!
BYE Fore now!  : )

Holiday greetings

I do not know what is wrong with Blogger tonight , but it will not allow me to insert a picture! I know everybody all over the world does not celebrate Thanksgiving like we do over here-But I can still give Thanks that I have all of you in my life!

Tomorrow we are driving to have Thanksgiving with Doug's sister and her husband . Of course I will miss out on the 'real food" -due to not having any top teeth. : (    But , that does not let me still be thankful! I do wish everybody a wonderful day .

I am still working on the car caddy organizers -so I will hope to see you later this week with new adventures of doing things backwards to learn how to do them correctly!   : )

Love to all -and don't blow away ! It feels like our house will be blown off of its foundations we have so much wind. That might be the only way I ever get to be blown over to Australia  or New Zealand!

Bad Blogger - BAD, BAD, BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

K- BEAR car caddy

Seems like I am having another one of those days when no matter what you lay your hand to - it just will not  co-operate with me.

I did get my morning chores accomplished and came in and ran a piece of cauliflower through the blender and fixed a baked potato to go with it, but as I tried to eat the cauliflower the blender had left big chunks that my toothless gums could not do anything with.

Then I made it to the sewing room because the guys were all out hunting-Yea.

I knew I would want to take a picture of this project I was working on but my memory card was totally full from the birthday party. I was afraid to delete them until I had them saved multiple times -but I could not get the flash-drive to pull up on my sewing computer so I hopped all over the place trying to find one that would . I finally found one that would -But- when it downloaded them - they looked like spotty clouds! GR. Not what I wanted  so I tried another and it said I did not have a software to open them. I was beginning to feel like I was beating my head against the wall. So, finally I just gave up and settled for the two different places that I believe worked for me. After losing pictures and embroidery designs and sewing patterns to dumb computers - I am just not very trust-worthy with them. I had bought these two new flash-drives and both of them have all kind of junk on them that is beyond my understanding while I am in "Christmas mode" with no brain cells to spare! : )

I made this car caddy with the three different pockets because I had stuck a cylindrical container of "wipes" in the top pocket to test it and it just fell over and laid down -so that was why I divided that pocket in half-to make it behave itself!  Like anything else has tried to behave itself today! LOL 

It is nice here today , but has been so dark and dreary . But, I am grateful to finally get something accomplished! YEA!

How Do They Get Away So Fast??????????????????

I got to see this picture today of my granddaughter -and how she dressed for Halloween ! She is suppose to be a zombie and if you ask me - I think she Really pulled that one off! LOL

I did get to take my walk this morning and this afternoon. I was a little edgy because there were deer hunters all in the area -but - I feel like my walks are so important!I can tell a world of difference if I miss a day or two, and it is a challenge to get back to where I have worked so hard. .

After I got back and straightened up it was time for DH to go to the doctor to learn how to take this new medicine. I really do like this lady doctor. She is not only beautiful , but smart too and for us that is a winning combination. She taught him how to handle this medicine and they agreed to not start it until Sunday and that way he could enjoy his thanksgiving -just in case it makes him sick or something like that.
 I had tried to call in his meds this morning and on all of them they had some reason they would not fill them-so I loaded them up and showed her. She was amazed because they were all still in date and DH had managed to stretch them even further than he was suppose to. She told him that maybe he needed a new drug store-so we went past CVS and stopped at a small drug store in town that we had gone to Years ago. I did not even realize that it was still in existence . They treated us so nice and DH was happy about that .

Well I have got to run in the kitchen and put on a crockpot full of beans so I can fix DH chili beans for tomorrow and then I hope to hit the bed because he has a bunch of folks to hunt with him in the morning.
So love to all Linda.

Baby Emmett's Birthday-Big # 1

This is our youngest Grandson right now and he just turned the big ONE!

This is the birthday cake that Dana - the Aunt on Meagan's family side made for him. It is a treasure chest . She had been working on a "CARS" theme , but since Meagan could not find what they wanted for the party -they changed it telling Dana at a later time. So, she had to scrap the cars and turn to Pirates theme -so that is where the Treasure Chest .I had to ask her what it was that she made the spilled Gold and she said it was vanilla wafers crumbled up. !

This is a tiny strawberry cake that Dana made just for Baby Emmett to have to do what he wanted with it. I  was so amazed with it that I told them to freeze it and keep it forever for him. Yea, I hear you. : )

This is Meagan's Mom following Baby Emmett around - he is looking at the big glass door to see what family members are doing outside.

Mom & Dad and Grandpaw - helping him enjoy the treasures of the spoils- I hope that is the right spelling .

And finally he had his very own cake. The fondant was too hard for him to break into it , so Grandpaw cut a part of the side open where he could taste it. You would have thought that First taste was poison - from the look he made

Well, he actually made it through the party and then he fell asleep in his Dad's arms after his Mom had done a clean up job on him. Hard to believe that year went by So fast - but it did  - I guess "time stands still for no man" is SO true! : )
