TLB and I are setting out for Hobby Lobby in a bit....

... and buying items to make a craft today.  Hehehe!

TLB does NOT do crafts.  She pays others to make them for her.  Totally endearing!!

And even though she says she doesn't enjoy them, when I can get her to do something (maybe once out of every ten years), she always seems extra proud when she finishes it.

There's something she does do that I never have been able to.... knitting.  And she's great at it.  And knitting seems much more chic anyway.  So even in her non-domesticity.... except that she's also a very accomplished cook, she's mega cool!

Anyway.... we'll see how the day goes.

We're going to do a Valentine quilling project.

I learned how to quill when I was 8.... it was one of the first crafty things I learned.

TLB had a neighbor teach me.  She'd see I'd have an interest in something and sign me up for lessons or pay someone to teach me.  What a lucky daughter I've been!  I learned all the important things about life from my incredibly wonderful mother.... and the little extra interests I had she didn't know how to do, she made sure I got the chance for.

More to come...




TLB LOVED Hobby Lobby!

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.

Thanksforgiving

'Thanksforgiving' is the title to my Thanksgiving Pinterest board.... And now looking at it, I just saw it in a whole new way.... thanks + forgiving... instead of, or in addition to thanks + for + giving Interesting.... wouldn't it be awesome if we all could just forgive others of their shortcomings and be grateful for them as they are and accept them at face value instead.... the way we hope they look at us? Today I think of so many things.... What comes to mind: St. George - spent many Thanksgivings there while growing up and always spent time horseback riding over that weekend 4-day school vacation Dang!  In the middle of making this list I just remembered I forgot to make the Corn Soup... ugh... The 'Turkey Bowl' LeSueur Pumpkin Crunch Torte... I made a half this year which is baking (hopefully... something's up with my oven) as I type.... and man oh man, it sure smells good!
