Less Tears...

Give this a try when you cut onions...




Prevent tears while cutting onions. Spear a piece of stale bread with your knife and slide it up to the end of the blade near the handle. The bread absorbs most of the "vapors."

Sunrise, Sunset

... No, not the song from the " The Fiddler On The Roof "... Although I do love that movie!

I'm talking about this... Go to the link I pasted here and put in your City & State & Zip Code and get when you have your sunrise & sunset..:-)

We're having another warm day here. ( Ohio) In the 60's!

Did You Ever...

... have at least 2 projects sitting by your chair and you just don't have the gumption to finish it yet? That is the rut I'm in...


You should hear the wind around here!!! All of this wind is supposwde to bring in cold weather. I kind of liked the 50's we had overnight! It's more like Spring then winter!!! ..:-) But that nice Spring weather did this...




A small lake in the backyard...:-(




... from the sounds of it, my washer needs to be emptied in a few minutes.. When it comes to the middle of the cycle, it sounds like a TRAIN!!!

Fill In The Spaces

... At the moment our closet is at a stand still til this weekend... we just need to FILL IN THE SPACE in the middle. It will be SHELVES, DRAWERS & a few BASKETS.






...At the moment I seem to be on a Reading and Cooking binge... I just finished a light read called " An Amish Christmas" by Cynthia Keller. If you ever thought today's kids are Rude & Spolied... read this. I didn't READ it, I got it on an AUDIO CD ... I listened to this as I was cooking. Very Easy to follow since it's what I call a light read.





...My fingers ( right hand fore finger has Arthritis) don't want to co operate. My Dr. gave me Celebrex and it doesn't do much. If anyone has this problem, please let me know how you control the pain and still crochet. ( So I can start crocheting again.)




...We may be getting a new horse. This one will be a Quarter Horse. He has 69 wins. But first we have to find out if he's still available.




....The weather is nice today... but tomorrow they rain is coming and the temperatures are dropping.... Maybe winter will finally seem more like WINTER.

Good Evening !!!

... Just to let you know I'm still here... I want to work on our closet some more, but the weather is too nice to want to stay inside... I think it's also the last week for gun season.(hunting)... So I'm pretty sure Hubby will be hunting and not working on the closet.


This is how it looks now. But I'm having a hard time deciding what I want inside. How many drawers, shelves & hanging sections for clothing.
