are you hungry now?

it's pizza night here...
home made pizza... 
made with Jiffy pizza crust mix...
pepperoni, left over brats, green peppers and cheese...
Craig doesn't like the green peppers on his side...
and... it's all gone...
I had meatloaf and mashed potatoes...
playing it safe again...

I haven't been posting food lately...
just thought I would show you why they say they keep me around...
and I thought it was for my money...

it's warming up...

the last 2 1/2 weeks have been in the 70s here...
just wonderful weather to get so many things done...
heat wave is coming and it's 83 today...
the weekend is going to be in the low 90s...
may just have to celebrate indoors with a movie or two...
cleaned my bathroom and part of the bedroom today...
sat outside this morning...
fed babies...
these are just so big this year and heavy...
they are bowing under the weight...
stuck my hand in there so you could see the size...
and these aren't the really big ones...
Mr Wiggles is a dumb cat, thank goodness...
Craig quickly picked up the bird and then it flew out of his hands back into the trees...
but what do you do with dumb birds and dumb cats?
hopefully, this guy learned his lesson...
the other neighborhood cats will eat him if he tries to be friends with them...
being a hero is hard work...
this is what we FINALLY pulled out of the shed for DH...
and would you believe he didn't even get in it last night?
MEN !
well, Craig and Boofy are having a grand time in it...
hopefully, DH will crawl in this weekend AFTER the work is done...
we are saving some things for him to do...
he was kind of sad last week when Craig and I had it all done...

hey, NanaDiana...

this post is for you...
this...
my dear...
is a bottle bug...
I made this one and many others out of salt shakers, but you can really use any cute bottle...
this one is a bee...
just so you know the buzz around here...

fun things...

oh, not a productive morning at all...
it's a lazy summer day...
it's been a goof off day...
the back of Craig's shirt...
the front says the same thing, but to look on the back of the shirt...
he has so many of these crazy shirts!
the north yard this morning...
we were waiting for the train...
a RR crew had been through this morning cutting down limbs and small trees...
and my biggest pet peeve is that they never clean it up when they are down...
the last owners of the RR kept it spotless and sprayed brush killer...
not these "new" guys...
and the sad part is, my husband works for them...
Craig decided that his butt was bigger than it used to be...
it's just not a good fit anymore...
and there she is...
I love trains...
don't know why...
maybe because they are slowly dying out...
being replaced like everything else from my childhood...
things we never gave a thought to...
it would always be there, right?
and the bottle bee is hanging with the blooms...
those have been the most fun things to make...
and I need to do more...
they sell out everytime I put some in the booth...
and I sat here dreaming this morning of a new deck with a roof!
shade all of the time and to be able to sit out in the rain...

I need to do something for DH right now....
something that should have been done in the spring...
it's time...
I hope he has a good day today...
got a 3 day weekend coming up here...
can't wait!

Red, WHITE and Blue WEDNESDAY !

some vintage red, WHITE and blue images for you to use this weekend...
to get you in the spirit of America's birth...
whatever you do and where ever you go...
remember the ones who can't be home with their families...
who are still fighting for freedom...
and remember their families back home who are wishing for them to return...
remember to stand when the flag goes by...
and honor those who died for her...
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
MY GENERATION GREW UP RECITING THIS EVERY MORNING IN SCHOOL WITH MY HAND ON MY HEART.
THEY NO LONGER DO THAT FOR FEAR OF OFFENDING SOMEONE!

Have a fun and safe 4th of July weekend...
and God Bless the USA!

things that make me smile...

we are so blessed...
and today as I walked around...
I wanted to share what makes me smile...
and I know we do not have what some do...
but God smiles on us anyway...
because all of that doesn't matter to Him...
so sit back and enjoy our blessings and all the things that make me smile...
we dug these for Lorrie this morning...
this was my mother's shed...
she bought it just before she died...
we had it moved up here..
I think she would love it...
and you make me smile...
have a great day...

PS...
I'm happy dancing here...
playlist is finally back with autoplay...
so I am adding to my new playlist...
I missed my music so much!
just call me twinkle toes...
