One of the perks of my husband working for a railroad is free rides. This time we rode the caboose.
They just painted the engine. Doesn’t it look spiffy? It’s from 1941 and the caboose is from 1942. Pieces of history.
This is one of the seats where the men riding the caboose [...]

On Saturday my husband and I moved our bed to the other side of the room. He suggested that we switch sides of the bed.
I thought it would be no big deal, but boy was I wrong. Saturday night was a night of very little sleep for me. Him? He slept [...]

This week my husband bought me 2 living things and some chocolate. The chocolate is history so that’s not worth mentioning…except it might still be hanging on around my waist.
He bought me some pretty flowers “just because.” Do you like getting flowers “just because?” Does it make you feel like a stinker [...]

Putting clean sheets on a top bunk bed is difficult for me. That’s putting it mildly.
It’s almost as many contortions as 20 minutes of Pilates, but it’s worse because there is no one telling me what to do or being ridiculously cheerful.
Kneeling on the bed to strip the sheets is easy enough, but I [...]

Kailani at An Island Life hosts Aloha Friday every week. “In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing heavy or [...]

Time once again for Show & Tell at Kelli’s!
I’m pleased to introduce you to Melanie, my one and only china doll.
In the summer of 1990 my aunt sold Princess House products [I think that's what it was] and had brought a catalog to our house. There were several dolls that I thought were [...]
This is the nest at our house.
These are the eggs that lay in the nest at our house.
This is the duck that laid the eggs that lay in the nest at our house.
This is the bush that sheltered the duck
that laid the eggs

This is the gander that guarded [...]

While my in-laws were away working at our church camp I painted their stairway from the garage to the kitchen.
After a complete coat of white paint I decided to put some color on the block wall at the bottom.
Then I turned around and oh, no! Look at the wall!
Not really. I dipped my [...]

Thankful Thursday is hosted by Iris at Sting My Heart.
My list for this week includes, but is not limited to the following:
Two more towel racks in the bathroom. [Can you ever have too many towel racks?]
The fragrance and taste of wild honeysuckle.
A new toaster. [I was getting quite adept at holding the lever [...]
Posted in Show and Tell Friday, my house, sewing on Jun 20th, 2008
Welcome! Another week has flown by and it’s time for Show & Tell at Kelli’s.
Today I’m showing my king size bedspread/quilt. No, I don’t sleep in the yard, but the light is much better outside.
I designed it. My Mom sewed it. The hardest part was making sure that both sides stayed [...]
