I want it.... I'm not ashamed to admit it. I Want it! I NEED IT!! I will get it (or one like it...)
What? you ask....
THIS !!
(scroll down to the 6th photo) See that retro red cake tin in the background? I NEED THAT!!! It's calling my name.
Actually alot of what's in "Thee Handworks"'s blog post, I WANT! Those
quilts, that butter mold, the Fire King green sugar/creamer (that she
got, lucky girl!)....
I'm obviously in a Vintage kind of mood....
So, while it's a slow, quiet, cool (Thank You God!) kind of Saturday
morning... I'm going to go take photos of my favorite vintage/retro
stuff. I'll be right back....
Alrighty then... it is now 24 hours later.... Sorry about that. Xanga was having "issues" with uploading my photos and then the Farmer-dude came home and then it was lunch and then his second cousin (I think....what is your dad's cousin to you?) came over and then Ds2 (I love that boy) called & needed his good slacks pressed and of course it was Mom to the rescue, because I love that boy! (Have I mentioned that?) He came out and we chatted briefly about his new position at the plant. I love that he is willing to take chances and try new things to better himself. I love that..... well, you know....
Then... it was doing some laundry, vacuuming up milipeeds who are trying to overtake mankind and are starting with my home!!!
Then I started making goodies for my sweetie after all the company left-- including a farm aerial photo salesman who needs a refresher course in good salesmanship--SHEESH! I made him Scotcharoos. Not at all healthy unless you consider the peanut butter & the rice cereal. Also continued drying the basil prunings from the other night.
And then... my sweetie told me to get "cleaned up" (what? looking at moi... I was clean I thought) and we'd go to the city for supper and Sam's Club. Yee Haw! No cooking!!
We checked out the farm store. We're looking for a windmill to replace our weathervane that took a dive off the barn roof in a recent wind storm. We both miss knowing the wind direction. Guess you have to be a farmer to understand that... lol
Then Sam's Club for Oxyclean (again, another farm thing-- stinky, smelly, sweaty farm clothes NEED this!); grape tomatoes; coffee creamer & biscotti (all for the Farmer's Wife so she will be a happy & healthy woman). Poor man didn't get anything there! But don't feel too badly for him. He has Scotcharoos in the fridge and is very happy about that.
And then some YUMMY
Carlo O'Kelly's food....mmmmmm~~~~ Chips & salsa (I only had 3 chips. Dang that healthy eating thing!
) And then a side salad with their yummy raspberry dressing (LowFat) and my entree was their Light Menu Pico Chicken Enchilada which has ff cream cheese, spinach, mushrooms and spicey chicken and is served with rice. LOVE IT!
The Farmer-dude had Combo Platter #4 (how exciting is that? LOL) and all the rest of the chips (the pig!) and spent the rest of the evening paying for it. Serves him right for eating those chips & salsa with such glee in front of me. (I'm such a meanie.)
By the time we got home and unloaded it all and put it all away. [oh! Forgot about the grocery store stop in there too.... cole slaw mix, ice cream bars (-- dang him again!), mixed nuts, drink mix for DS2, pudding cups for DS2 (ok so we spoil him--- he's my baby! lol Don't tell him I wrote that. ), and got a really good sale price on some .... ahem.... adult beverages. (B & A! We're set for the next 12 times! You're gonna have to come HERE! LOL
)]
By all this was put away and dealt with it was time to head for bed.
Which brings me to today..... a restless night (stupid TOM anyway--) and a sore back/neck and there was no way I was going to be able to sit in church & SS so we slept in a bit. The Farmer-dude took the 4-wheeler to check cows on the other pasture while I had my coffee and a bit of selfish reading on the screen porch. Took him "forever" to come back & I was beginning to wonder who was "out" where? But about the time I was going to call his cell, he came back with his tale of walking the pasture, heaving dead/downed trees off the fences (we've had storms this week) and overlooking the cows until he walked the entire pasture, only to find them in the barn-yard. poor thing...
I felt sorry for him and so I made him waffles & bacon for brunch. Now he's snoozin' in front of the tv.
And I'm finally ready to blog about my Vintage stuff. Head on over to the next post for that. I think this one is long enough...don't you?
See you There!
Hugs!
Kay~
