I had a list and several things to catch up on from last week. First I worked for almost an hour. Rege came in but he is very sick (cough, cold). He was leaving for a doctor’s appointment just after I left. Here’s to a quick return to good health! I finally managed to get to Miller’s Crossing for my honey. I took a very quick look around and found another TY skunk! I’m so excited! I have 6 now that match, and four other ones (plus little plastic ones). We do have Mr. Fresh, but I don’t know who has him or where he is. That would round us out if he turns up.

Big skunk, little skunk

Five skunks!
Monday when Kathy and I were at RAVE I saw a small wooden cow. It’s one that is totally safe for Cameron to play with (he loves playing with things that are NOT toys!) so I stopped and got it today. Then I had a chiropractor appointment. It was nice to catch up with Kip; he DID end up getting engaged over the holidays – so congrats to him and Jackie!

Next I grabbed a few items at Walmart, then came home and made a hot dog for lunch. Kip was talking about having hot dogs and it made me hungry for them. I had 2 loads of laundry that I still have to iron.

Laundry
I went through my bin of battery operated lights and sorted them. I have way too many so I hope to share or weed them out as the occasion arises. Then I had the bright idea to make a few coasters with winter pictures. I couldn’t fine backsplash tiles at Lowe’s, so I used two of the ones I already had to experiment. I made one of the farm at Mom and John’s, and one of the covered bridge at Kelly and Matt’s. I’d love to make more, if I could find tiles.

I’m going to probably change up my add-ons for the Word Garden. Instead of scripture I will post something I’m thankful for. Just to clarify, these will be small, ordinary everyday things. I’m not going to mention the obvious, most important things – like my faith, salvation, God’s love, my home and family. These will just be little things that make my day special. Like, yesterday I was thankful for my Driveway Angels!

TODAY I’m thankful for my two new little homemade coasters. I didn’t think I could do it!

PEANUTS?

TOMORROW January 3rd is:
National Fruitcake Toss Day; National Play Outside Day; National Drinking Straw Day; National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day; Festival of Sleep Day; JRR Tolkien Day; Women Rock! Day.
My mom used to LOVE chocolate covered cherries – We bought them for her every year for Christmas! I think it will be too cold to play outside. I’ll celebrate sleep. God bless!
And here is an amazing photo of Lake Erie!
