What's For Dinner?

Beef Stew is what's for dinner.

Or in my case, stew without the beef, cause I don't eat the beef!

Very delicious served in my Hazel Atlas milk glass bowls.

Drying Dishes

Drying dishes is always a chore.

Using a dish towel to dry those dishes is a necessity.

Back in the day, many a housewife took time to make her dish towels prettier.

Why settle for a plain piece of cloth when one can pass the chore away with such beauties....

Awww...much better!

I think there is a sink full of dishes calling my name!!

I'm linking this post up to Sue's Blog, It's A Very Cherry World, for her very popular meme...Rednesday!! Come on over and join in the fun. :o)

I'll see you there, that is after I finish the dishes.

Someday Projects

We all have them.

Some more than others.

I definitely fall into the "some more than others" category!

Maybe one day I'll take a picture of my garage and attic.

And crawl space.

And bonus room.

I'd like to share with y'all one of my someday projects.

Since this is a fine rainy Monday morning in Georgia I can assure you that it will not be completed today, thus a someday project!!

Yes, I'd like to sand and paint this old metal furniture and the firepit.
Firepit would stay black.
Metal furniture would go from a lovely shade of rusty black to a deep vibrant red.

Not today....someday!

Happy Monday everyone.

New Year, New Blog Design

Lots of hard mind work was performed today by these two...

Thanks so much hubby and Chui for my Tattered Tassel makeover!!

I love it and I love that sexy mature spot on the back of my husbands head!

Merry Christmas to Me!

Discipline, I will freely admit, I just do not have!

This past Christmas season while out shopping for others, I can not tell you how many times I said....
"It's not about me."

Every turn down an isle, every rack of clothing, every on-line site, I saw an item that I would like to own!

I tried so hard to stay focused on the tasks at hand.

Focused on finding gifts that would make others happy!

However, there were a couple of times that I gave in to my desires, discipline out the door, and made a purchase or two for myself.

My reasoning's were solid and sound.

Oh my goodness....I've never seen these before!

No, Ann, it's not about you right now.

Stay focused.

But, but....

What if I wait and someone buys it for their loved one!

OK, sounds good to me. (Kinda sounds like I've got a couple of people living in my head!!)

 Anyways, I present to you my Christmas presents to myself....

 I paid $20 for the set.
I love them!!


And finally, one more little gift to me from me.
Or maybe it's from one of those folks living in my head!!
Either way, it was a welcome addition to my home.

A cute little cherry-topped double jelly holder. I think.
At $6.00, it was worth it.
It makes me happy when I look at it.
Well, me and all those folks in my head!!


I'm linking this post of to Sue's wonderful blog, It's a Very Cherry World, for Rednesday.
Please take a minute to view many other lovely reds.

A Southern Hot Spot

Can you guess what I'm talking about??

Growing up, when I would visit my grandparents my grandma and I would always,always make a trip
to this store.

The heart of many small southern towns.  Well, that and the First Baptist Church!

Can you see the hand painted signs in the windows...THE PIG WAY

I just love it!!

Apple Anyone??

 

An apple a day keeps the doctor away!

Happy Monday!

Fondly,

Ann
