Look at this fantastic cutting board Big J made in school! He gave it to me for an early Mother’s Day gift.
It started as two planks of wood. One hickory and one oak. The mix of woods gives interest to the board.
It’s nice and thick…more of a butcher block. It’s beautiful.
I can’t wait to see what he makes next in the metals portion of this class.
Remember to be good to our planet today and everyday,
PS…stop by my friend Elizabeth’s blog today and wish her a Happy Birthday!
Welcome to T stands for Tuesday!
Today also happens to be my wedding anniversary. 22 years! I’ve officially been married for half of my life. Wowsers!
We eloped to Las Vegas…yes, lots of people do that…no, we weren’t drunk and yes, we planned it ahead of time and no, we weren’t married by Elvis.
He looked more like Friar Tuck….not even kidding…can’t make that stuff up.
Not many thought it would last since our courtship was so very short. Most were polite enough to keep their mouths shut about their doubts. Some friends…not so much. By the way…those impolite folk are no longer friends.
We came home to a small champagne celebration in our newly “furnished” apartment. (Note the moving box and folding chair)
Now…here we are…half a lifetime later… a few moves, 3 cats, 2 kids, numerous vehicles, crazy storms, deaths, job changes, vacations, surgeries and celebrations in between.
Many things have happened along the way….the good, the bad and the ugly but what remains the same is the commitment we made as young twenty somethings to have and to hold, for richer and poorer, in sickness and health, til death do us part.
So what does today hold… Well it’s Tuesday…so the usual busy schedule prevails with a couple curve balls just to mix things up. We are planning on getting Chinese takeout tonight so there will be no cooking or cleaning involved. Hooray!
What are you doing today?
Welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday hosted by Elizabeth.
When I took this photo last week I was intending to show you both my Indian/Mexican fusion breakfast and my new journal. Turns out the journal is no longer mine. Mini-me came home and asked if Micheal’s had more like this one but with a J monogram. Lucky for her a whole alphabet of monogram letters came in the back of the journal. Looks like I’m out of a journal.
You may have noticed my announcement on the main page that I’m working on my site. I’m attempting to make it more user friendly with category pages as well as the main front page to find the newest content. I know I have some readers who could care diddly squat about my garden but came to see crafty projects. Hopefully this change will happen as I imagine.
Speaking of gardens…
my seedlings are coming along quite nicely even with the late start they got. I have them in a large plastic bin with a clear top so that Marvin can’t get to them but they still get the grow light and sunshine from the patio door.
Look at that innocent face while he’s sleeping.
“No I wouldn’t cause any trouble”
Yes, yes he would. He’s definitely still a kitten…just a giant, clumsy kitten.
I’m off for my usual Tuesday craziness. I’ll get around to visiting eventually.
Until then….What are you doing today?
