A Crafting "Ice Cream" Truck

I saw this in my newsfeed from last year on Facebook.

I think they need to do a crafter's truck.

Sell:

sequins
buttons
adhesive
gems
ribbons
twine

You get the drift.

Those little things we run out of at home when we need them in a pinch.

Simple is good

Dinner last night at home.

Simple is good. 

No sauce. 

No gravy. 

Just pasta tossed in butter. 

Sautéed broccoli.

Enjoying the sunshine

Our kitties are taking advantage of having the windows open this past weekend..... Yes! In winter! A week ago we had a winter storm dump 6 inches of snow. The counties adjacent to us got 12 inches! Thank goodness there was no ice. We usually get ice and sleet first THEN snow.

It was a nice powdery mix. It was great for making snowballs and snowmen.

Living in NC, we can wear flip-flops and shorts and heavy coat and gloves all in the same week.

Have a great day!

Weather last week....

Winter weather in NC. We experienced a wonderful snowfall with Winter Storm Inga last week. We got 6 inches of snow.

It was a different wintry mix than we usually get.

It is usually ice and sleet.

I will take this.

Fort McHenry

During an emergency medical visit to Maryland, we had the chance to visit Fort McHenry. I hadn't been to Fort McHenry since I was little..... ~1977.

Not much as changed. Things look smaller now since I am an adult, but when you were a kid, everything looked humongous.

In the many summers my parents took us to Fort McHenry, I never saw a reenactment. It was neat. The cannon echoing throughout the Port of Baltimore.

Can you imagine the sound during the Battle of Baltimore in 1812 what it would have sounded like?

Peeling a pomegranate

For Thanksgiving, my husband demonstrated how to peel a pomegranate without the mess that accompanies peeling this fruit.

Plumber's Crack

My husband and son are replacing our water filter system in our kitchen this weekend.

Joe is learning a lot about plumbing....... even the "plumber's crack".

I couldn't resist the photo opportunity.
