I rarely use storebought flour but I still have some and I mostly use it to dust containers before baking and to dust the countertop before rolling out dough. I was out upstairs and I went downstairs to get a refill of my flour container. All my grains and baking type goods are stored in...
read moreInformed Delivery is a good thing and also provides with some laughs. The packages always seem to arrive but the routes they sometimes take . . I cannot figure it out. Here’s one I was looking at this morning. It left Tulsa on February 16. I’m note quite 2 hours east of Tulsa. It departed...
read moreYou know I’m not much into movies but we just finished one I highly recommend. It’s Valley of Love and Vince said we saw it on Prime. Warning: I needed tissues at the end but it was happy tears.
read moreThis morning I wanted biscuits, eggs and hash browns. I was going to fix bacon and Vince said he would rather have ham so I fixed bacon for me and ham for him. I also cooked some apples that we needed to use. Sorry for the blurry picture. I usually take more than one picture...
read moreYesterday the fish truck was in town so we went there. They set up in the Junkerville (flea market) parking lot and that’s one of our favorite flea markets so we took our drinks and our paper towels and our hot sauce and sat in the car and ate . . a picnic in the...
read moreAround 2004 was the last time I made soap but Vince found a tub of my soap in one of the rented storage buildings. That means that tub of soap has been moved from Kentucky to Missouri to Texas and back to Missouri over the last 20 years. That box smells so good! There’s Freesia,...
read moreThe hard part of getting packages is not paying for them; it isn’t sneaking them in past Vince, it’s trying to get them to me through the USPS. I’m sharing this because I’m at the point where I can laugh about it. If there’s a time when I want to order a LOT, I will...
read moreYesterday I stitched all day. It’s 8 p.m. and I haven’t taken a stitch yet . . but I will! There’s rarely a day I don’t think of the book, “IF You Give A Mouse A Cookie”. That’s my life most days. First, I had a ham in the fridge and Vince wanted me to...
read moreYesterday was our pick up for Azure. I think I’ve said before that I don’t usually order for the January and February deliveries because of the weather but they had half gallon jars on sale and I wanted those so I placed an order. Our pickup was scheduled for yesterday at 3:30 p.m. but about...
read moreI had a visit with the naturopath this morning. I really like her and wish I could see her for all my medical needs. I’m sure you all know already that I have alpha-gal from a tick bite and have had it for 20+ years. In the beginning, the only ground beef I could eat...
read moreToday I seemed to have had way more energy than normal. Maybe my body was happy to have beef back . . I doubt that but I went non-stop til about 3 p.m. Then I told Vince I was going to take a nap and I slept for three hours. I hope that means I’ll...
read moreVince and I were talking about a month ago about grocery prices because there’s been so much in the news, in other blogs and youtube videos I watch about how much more families are paying for groceries. Even Chad mentioned that it was getting harder and harder to buy the things they want. Vince said...
read moreSo sorry about the wrong link to the Lavash recipe I use. I’ve corrected it on the blog post and here’s the correct link. This is the batting I use behind the stitched pieces. I googled it and don’t see it anywhere so it may no longer be available. The white Warm & Natural would...
read moreThis is one of those things I don’t *need* but have been wanting. It will punch five different size of holes. It’s pretty surprising how many holes I punch – especially when making floss drops, which I won’t be making as much but that’s another post. We were in Michael’s before Christmas and I saw...
read moreVince has been finding us movies to watch almost every night. I know we don’t have Netflix but I’m not sure what we have so I can’t tell you that but the movie we watched last night was Timeless Love. The movie the night before was I Want to Marry Ryan Banks. It was 2004....
read moreEven though January is the pantry challenge, and normally I don’t order in December, January or February because weather. The food is delivered in an Azure 18 wheeler that goes from community to community delivering our order from the Azure warehouses in Oregon. I’m not exactly sure how it works but I’m guessing the truck...
read moreOne little dandelion blossom has made me smile for days! These days, most everything around here is dead and brown . . see my beloved elderberry bushes just below the deck. But there’s one little dandelion on the hill next to the house that is blooming. See it there among the dead grass/weeds? The dogs...
read moreToday has been a day of no stitching but lots of stitchy related happenings. I finished the dachshund chart yesterday (will do a blog post later) so I’m always kinda unsure what to do next after finishing a project. I was looking at WIPS and thinking about what I want to stitch for the Blessing...
read moreThere’s still more work to be done on the blog but I think it’s back to where it was before something happened (probably something I did accidentally). I should have learned, or learn now, how to fix things – crazy to have a blog and not have any idea how to make it work but...
read moreThis arrived Wednesday. I’m doing an awesome job of letting it sit! I know it isn’t hard to use but there are layers that have to go together correctly so I need to read those instructions. I’ve ordered some stamps and dies and paper and stamp pads and glue and tape and . . what...
