Sink Picture

Joining a Linky Party at Like Mother Like Daughter- the best blog for we moms/homemakers who need encouragement daily. This is my kitchen sink and I am sharing it with you. The canister (from Wal Mart) holds coffee, the soap dish and towel ring are antique repros, the birds are from Pier 1, the sink is cast iron Kohler (so glad we didn't go with fireclay-it would've been dust by now), dish soap is in an oil dispenser from BB&B (has proven indestructible!), tiny vases came from a garage sale for 50c each, milk bottles are freebies from my SIL, prayer cards are from Our Lady of the Angels Monastery, and the Jesus candle is from the grocery store!

Not only EATING PB&J....

she can MAKE them by herself, now!

I'd like to think he fell asleep praying :^)

Okaaay...

And we worry about the birds?

Our tiny sister of most precious beauty is a blackberry thief! I found a trail of green berries that she had sampled until she'd found a ripe one and nibbled it up. We've got to watch this girl!

Snake!

Awesome Boys

The boys cooked supper for us last night as a project for the Columbian Squires club they are in and they did a great job! They made skillet lasagna, broccoli, garlic bread, and brownies with ice cream for dessert. I think they learned a lot and have an appreciation now for what it takes to get supper on the table each night. Yay boys!

Our Dog is a Doofus

I couldn't get footage of the actual event, but our dog, Trixie, has been trying to catch a bee for the past few days... above is a still of this. Then, doofus that I am, I realized I could actually take video with my camera and I managed to get the aftermath of Trixie being stung in the mouth. And you can hear the concerned dog-owner (me) in the background goading her on to snap at the bees again. Don't turn me in to the Humane Society... I knew she wouldn't ;^)

Today's garage sale finds

Two antique-style silver frames for the master bathroom, an angel holy water font for Chrissy's room, four more house pics for my collection in the stairwell, and lots of old books from the book sale for the living room. I thought the font was a little gaudy, but it looks pretty good!

My Hero

I think we all knew who would be tending to my bees, something he really didn't care to do. That is love.

What, me worry?

This is like the plane Mitch flew on to West Texas. Worse than I thought! :^(

Guess Who?

A little bit of sunshine...

This week's finds...

Hook thing that I will put in the master closet for belts, oldish frame, and two sets of barely worn 3T PJs for Francie this winter. A good weekend!

Close up of the hooks.

Pie

Getting the hang of it.
