Decorating our mini squash.

Pretty scary! Look at those teeth!  :)

Before Meets After~10-29-13

This basket has hung beneath our mailbox for a few years.  It was looking a little sad!

A couple coats of white spray paint (of course!) and it was pretty again.  That is our cat Jasper.  Such a sweet boy and constant outdoor companion!

Picture Display Holder~10-27-13

Candlestick, cork stopper, and a paperclip.

A pretty nifty way to display a picture.

Homeschool Picture Day~10-26-13

Today was Homeschool Picture Day. 10-25-13  This is my youngest, soon to be 7, 1st grader, avid reader.  Loves the camera!

My middle child, 3rd grader, soon to be 9, a voracious reader.  She's a sensitive soul.

Well, It Finally Happened...10-25-13

Well, it finally happened...It got cold enough here in Central Illinois, that I was able to enjoy my first cup of hot chocolate and buttered, cinnamon/sugared toast.

It was so delicious. I plan to have many more cups of hot chocolate with a heaping helping of mini marshmallows.

Westinghouse Stand Mixer~10-24-13

I bought this baby in June at a tag sale.  It was $12.00.  Then it was Reduced to $6.00. Score!

Well, I thought I had scored, until I got it home and could closely inspect it.  The power cord basically crumbled as I unwound it from the base. :(  I am hoping to find a savvy small motor repair person to replace the power cord.  I want to use this sweet thing right now.  Patience, right?
