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!

Hello!

... Yes, I'm still here people. Just busy at other things. Such as re modeling..;-) love it! I'm not checking out Tiles.... I had no idea there were so many!!!



Right now I'm looking at this... But I'm pretty sure we'll more.








I like Gray & Plum... Those are my colors. The ones above are Gray & Black. A but too plain for me. I need those Plum & lavender shades.

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!!!
