At our house tonight

we will host the first Light Weigh meeting for the Ft. Bragg Catholic Community. I am excited and believe it will be a blessing to all who attend. Please keep us in your prayers.

I made longer cords.

The Christmas candles I bought for the windows this year had short cords and the builder of this house did not center the outlets on the walls. Combined, these two facts neccessitated one of two things: a) use 10 drop cords, or b) lengthen the cords on my candles.

I chose b. Using a long drop cord, I spliced pieces into my candle cords and had perfectly fitted cord lengths for each window. Next house, I'll have to re-evaluate. When I build my own house, I will have outlets under every window, right where I want them!

One is padded, one not.

Padded, front.

Padded, back.


Padded, inside.

First birdhouse I built.

Last week it was blown out of the tree and I need to get it back up soon.

The entry hole is too low, but I hope some birdie will use it anyway.

MBMM problems

I saved a bunch of posts for MBMM and now when I publish them, they show up chronologically according to date. Phooey! Scroll down to see a couple of new ones, and I'll try to figure out how to fix this issue soon.

PS-- Got a hair cut this afternoon, and Matt did not break his record of 25 years. He has only noticed my new hair twice in all those years. On the bright side, he doesn't notice skinny, pretty women, either ;~)

"Naughty" is the key word...

What a naughty dog!!

He gets so dirty and gets in trouble...

but we still love him.

This one's for Aunt Sheila--Amy in her new shoes and jeans.

New glasses and some ashes

I got new glasses yesterday after my old frames broke last week. So far, not one person has noticed! Here I am sporting them and some ashes, too. It was standing room only at Mass tonight, and the kids and I went out for fish and cheese pizza with friends afterwards.

Please ignore the "I'm-47-and-still-have-acne" part.

A hodge podge on the couch.

Left to right you have:

Amy's lovey blanket after 11+ years of continuous use.

I have no idea how to repair it at this point...

My knitting bag which travels everywhere with me and used to be a purse.

A pillow to match the drapes.
