Valentine's Day....

Started off the day with the traditional heart-shaped waffles...



Baked and decorated sugar cookies... topped with pink frosting... a MUST!!



Ally made the cards and we delivered them to those so dear....


Too tired to go out for dinner and a movie...
so spinach dip and pizza from Smoky Mountain....


Ally and her candygram (and no that's not a spot on my wall... sheesh, stupid phone) which read...

Ally Bear...
        YOU are Extra Extra Extra amazing!!!                
We Snicker like Airheads whenever you're around...
It'll be hard for us when you Skittle on outta here =(
I don't know what I'll do w/o my Sugar Babie...I'll definitely be in one
of those Whatchamacallit states where I'm barely able to connect the Dots.
You have been such a Lifesaver - such a Starburst - in our home.
Not even 100 Grand could ever replace you...
Having you for a daughter is a Skor for eternity! <3
If you're ever in a Crunch, please know we'd do ANYTHING for you...
<3 U Sweetart



And Sarah.... the cutie... made TJ these pillows.
She photocopied love notes they'd written to each other
onto fabric and sewed them onto these pillows... <3 Sari


My sweet girl also made 'Basil Chicken Curry' for 
her in-laws to enjoy for their Valentine's Day dinner...

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Turning the full-of-stuff-bins in my garage into an etsy store

It's time. I've been chattting this up for years.... YEARS. Been cleaning out my garage. Getting rid of soo soo much. Have sold a ton of stuff and donated lots. But there's still so much fabric, paint, wood, floral supplies, paper, jewelry making stuff... you name it, it's out there. I even have friends that will call up sometimes and ask if they can "come shop in my garage".  I dare not even put a round-about dollar tag on it all. The only way I can begin to justify it is by creating. Finally putting it all to some kind of use. Sooo, there it is. And here I go. If I think something might be fun for someone else to try I'll blog about it with instructions and photos and such. It feels weird saying that because like most people, there's WAY more I can be taught than I could ever teach others. Anyway. See ya out there!

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...
