Another busy day, but productive. I got up early and still didn’t get to work early. Sigh… There wasn’t much to do, so I was home by 11am – even with stopping at my favorite L&L Fleatique. I was looking for a small narrow table or bench for the Flag room. What I found was a darling little pie safe, which I cleaned up when I got home. Also saw a dressmaker Christmas -type tree, and some directional advice…
I grabbed some pretzels and cheese for lunch, then changed into warm layers and went outside to clean the car. First I swept out the filthy trunk. I was very happy that it came so clean. It’s hard to see with the shadow but big improvement.
I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to actually wash the car, but with making so many trips to help Nate in the freezing weather, the outside was covered in dirt and salt. Then there was the trip to Smicksburg for Beef Day and added more grime. So I did wash it to get the worst off. The thing was, I went over to help clean the trailer and while I was parked there a bird pooped on my back window. Ugh. But the rest is as clean as it could be after driving on the salty roads again!
Once I got home, I took my little pie safe and put it in the kitchen. Then I took the shelves that were in the kitchen and put them in the Crooks room. That seemed only fitting, because it was made by Mom’s sister (Hazel Crooks)’s husband! Finally I took the little bench in the Crooks room and put it in the Flag room. Now there is something to set the gaming monitor on that is sturdy and eye level. Productive day for sure.
Changed all the calendar pages, and also the Snoopy calendar. Ready for February!
February 1 – What extras did you use for your snowman’s face, buttons, arms, hat, etc? “Coal was used for eyes, nose & buttons. If we made a mouth we used kernels of corn or tiny pebbles. We stuck small branches in & covered them with snow for arms. We put old gloves on for hands & put an old hat on its head.”
Yesterday’s vacation destination was Prince Edward Island (You’ve been there, right Beth?). The picture posted was an unnamed light house on a picturesque coast. Just a very few of the fun things to do and see on PEI: Make your own wind chime, visit Charlottetown (scavenger hunt to find hidden bronze mice), shopping, musicals, Island Hill Farm (Baby animals), Cavendish beach/sunsets, Ceiledh social gatherings (singing, music, dancing), sailing, festivals, golfing, glass bottle houses, light houses, Kayaking, Sandcastle competitions. Potato Museum, beaches and lighthouses and red clay roads and fields. History, hiking, road trips. Historic house tours – much more!

My friend Diane and her daughter Shannon went to Punxy today – and plan to attend some of the festivities and to be at Gobbler’s Knob about 6am! It’s Shannon’s 50th birthday and that was all she wanted! I hope they have a wonderful time and get to meet Phil in the process. I guess we’ll see in the morning if he sees his shadow. God bless…
