My original plan was to paint out a dresser that I have downstairs and switch it out with one upstairs. But the day was damp and cold, and I would have had to work in the garage all day. So that may be a spring project, if I still want to do it. After breakfast I braved the dreary skies and drizzle and went to L&L Fleatique. I haven’t been there in a while and wanted to look around. I saw a cute little bunny – I liked the colors.

I also bought a little metal star for the kitchen, and a black boot vase for the sewing machine. Yesterday I bought two little piggy plaques and made a hanging one for in front of the window. There was an empty hook there. So all in all I spent less than $5.00!

Lunch was a bowl of soup, and after I finished the laundry I decided to make cookies. I used the ginormouos recipe that Kelly gave me (we made them last time she was here) and put Easter M&M’s on for excitement. They are very good. I plan to take some to the Sunday School kids on Sunday morning.

Yesterday’s walk in Armbrust was very nice. The sun was shining on the creek, which was fuller than normal and flowing quickly. I walked about a mile and a half.

If you see the cement embankment – there used to be a bridge across there.
Doesn’t this look like cotton?

The walking trail goes past the house that Gen grew up in – and I was surprised that between her old house and the power lines there are two huge houses being built. I haven’t been down there for a while. Again, REALLY big houses! Someone was working on each of them, so I climbed the bank and took a picture.

New house #2 – it’s bigger!

I watched Pollyanna (staring Hayley Mills) and then I watched the newer Parent Trap (Lindsey Lohan). It’s been a long time since I saw either of them, and they were both fun!

My kitchen rug keeps getting worse, falling apart. I was glad I was able to order a replacement. Now I just have to wait for it to come in, and hope I don’t trip over the rug in the meantime!

This song reminds me of being at Grama Crooks’ house.

TOMORROW March 11th is:

National Funeral Director & Mortician Recognition Day; National Johnny Appleseed Day; National Oatmeal Nut Waffles Day; National Promposal Day; National 311 Day; National Worship of Tools Day.

I can’t see worshiping tools. Just can’t. And 3-1-1 is a non-emergency number that you can call for information, questions, and connect with your community. Who knew? And the funeral director: I have a dear friend that used to work at Smail’s – decades ago. He left there and became a funeral director – he even married a client (a live one, not a dead one…)! Last I heard he was very happy and very successful. You just never know.
