    Quiet morning T Tuesday

    July 30, 2013 - By 

    tea lightI’m enjoying a quiet, overcast, drizzly morning with a cup of coffee. Mr. G is out the door to work and the kidlets are still sleeping. How long do you think I can keep calling them kidlets when the oldest is my height? I say, FOREVER!!

    Since it is so gloomy I decided to light my tea cup candle while I read and sip my coffee.

    rainy day GracieKnitting group is on the docket for today as well as a little back to school shopping. School supplies have been purchased and are packed  in the backpacks. Big J is in denial while Little J is excited to go back in just over a month.

    Gracie is attempting to will away the rain with her mind so that we can go sit outside. Good luck kitty. Maybe we can  enjoy a little time later but that concrete has to dry to make it comfy for furry paws.

    What are you doing today?

    Hello…is this thing on?

    July 25, 2013 - By 

    garage salecraft tablesYikes! I’m just starting to crawl back to the functional world. Let me explain.

    Towards the end of the day Thursday….the first day of the neighbors garage sale…I began to lose my voice. Ok, that wasn’t so bad…a bit of comic relief for the others.

    By the end of our mediocre sale at noon on Saturday, I was starting to think that I wasn’t just dealing with laryngitis but a cold virus instead.

    Unfortunately, I was right. A summer cold!! They are the worst.  I’ve been sleeping in the recliner to help with the coughing.  I’d been waiting it out, thinking I’d get better until yesterday I couldn’t take it anymore.  I went to the doctor and I have an ear infection. Thank goodness for antibiotics even though I’m not a fan of taking them. I’m already starting to feel slightly better. Hey, I can actually sit in front of the computer.

    I figured I’d show you my little setup of crafts at the sale. However, I didn’t sell much. It was more of a “guys” sale with lots of tools and greasy things. Oh well. Live and learn.

    T stands for Tuesday

    July 16, 2013 - By 

    20130716_2617So my friend Elizabeth has started a new tradition…which is a twist on an old one. She is asking everyone to check in on Tuesdays with what ever you’ve got going on that day. You asked for it my friend….

    I have a really busy day ahead…a busy week in fact.  Before I dive into the day, I’m enjoying a quiet moment with my coffee and computer.

    I won’t go into all the minutia of the day such as meal prep, shopping, errands and cleaning but my main focus today is garage sale stuff.

    20130716_2620My neighbors are having a sale  starting Thursday and we have a ton of stuff to contribute.

    This is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak.

    I have the storage room completely torn apart. Boxes all over the family room waiting to be sorted. I still need to go through my closet and more in depth in the craft room. So far I only have a tray of rubber stamps that are leaving.

    We keep thinking of other things to get rid of…so we tear into another room or closet.

    It’s chaos, I tell you. CHAOS!!

    But first…Little J and I are going to knitting.20130716_2618 I need a dose of friends and laughter before tackling anymore boxes!!

    What are you doing today?
