Tweaking...opinions welcome

Just another Manick Monday but a good one.

This scale pan will soon be filled with wax pumpkins or mini gourds.


I moved this pie keeper into my pantry, off the cupboard below, and re-arranged the top of my cupboard with some cutting boards. Not sure if I like the pie keep anymore. does anyone want to trade pie-keep for a furkin or a LARGE wood bowl? But I was happy with the change below.
See the candle burning in my kitchen to the left? Smells yummy...Cornbread and Honey.

The cupboard below was a complete change because I thought when I tuck in Fall decorating I think it will work really well. What do you think?


Have a great week bloggers.

Hugs

Blogger comments

Does anyone know why on some blogs you go to comment and you get a pop up that says you have to change your password and blah blah blah. HELP It has happened only on a few, so please don't think I am avoiding you. It is under google account, maybe i should try anonymous.

And has this ever happened to you. A terrible smell in your house and you clean and scrub everything, even your drains. still terrible smell. Well my husband just came up from the basement and our chest freezer quit working! gross! Smells the worst smell! I have like 3 candles burning and windows open and he is down now trying to pull stuff out. nothin important in it except tons of frozen stawberries he picked this summer for jelly. poor guy is so disappointed.
Well at least we know what it is now. You ask am I helping? Hell no!

4 Fall pictures to share









Happy Friday to all of you.

I want to show you a primitive rug that I hooked...eeks! it was almost 13 years ago that I got as a kit for Christmas from my husband. It was the last rug I hooked cause kind of got bored with it plus the mess drives me crazy. That is why I don't sew too. Too much mess. Anyway, I love the rug and have fun displaying it. Sometimes I hang it, sometimes I use it on a table with Fall decorations.

I bought the two coots a long time ago and aren't they cool! The wax corn got pulled out tonight


The corn stalks stay in my pantry year round and make a nice Fall display when I pull out the rest od my stuff.So slowly but surely I will start decorating for Fall.

Enjoy this weekend everyone.

A & W

I just wondered if anyone still goes to the A & W? I still love eating the Coney dogs. Tonight after work, since it was a beautiful night, we got the bike out and went riding around and stopped to eat at the A & W. Coneys are only 1.00 on Tuesdays.
Sorry no pictures for you.
Tomorrow Wednesday already!!!!
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Hugs to all of my blogging friends.

JDRF

This morning was the walk to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at Michigan State University. We started at 9:30 and overcast and not too hot. My granddaughter Rachel was diagnosed late Spring this year and takes 4 shots a day. She has done a great job and is one of the sweetest little girls you could meet!

Daughters and son in law


Me and my 2 daughters


Me and my 4 grandkids and their friend Ericka




Silly Rachel

Have a great weekend and remember family is everything.

Love all you can and cherish every moment.

Great Old Boxes








We are suppose to have bad storms this afternoon but we still need the rain.

These boxes have held up well.
