Our new car

Now don't we look spiffy in our new car....hehehehe

We did have fun riding in it though at a local museum....Greenfield Village.

We spent the day there last Monday and it was a perfect day..not hot, not cold or rainy and not crowded. the schools had not started their fields trips yet and it usually is crowded most of the season except early when the weather is so iffy. But for us..it was perfect!!

April Painting class

Painting class time again and yes..I purposely did not post for March. I twas another lighthouse and I hated the painting. If the teacher chooses that again..I won't go! But he says no more are planned...HOORAY!!
Once again..left to right: Jan, Olga and mine.





And another of Gary's and mine. He is really loving this class and I like him doing it as we now have a thing we do together that we both enjoy.


However...................


The paintings are beginning to stack up and we have to work on getting some picture railings up in the laundry room to dispay them. We plan to rotate them and gosh..we do have enough for a pretty impressive display.

When I get permission, I will post some of the other's work in the class. I do take the pics of several others but always forget to ask if I can post it for the world to see.One day I just might remember.

The class is getting popular too and 3 more of the woodcarvers tried it in the afternoon class. I can't wait to see their work Tuesday when they will bring it in and we will all compare.

Cia Herbs and strawberry pots

For Christmas my BFF gave me a Chia Herb set and I finally planted it when the house was warmer. We keep it pretty chilly for the most part but end of January I finally planted some.
I was skeptical cuz they don't have dirt bot sponges that you lay the seeds on. They are bigger now and soon I will clip off some to use in cooking.

A nice experiment but they they need constant attention --watering every day. I guess the dry air sucks it all up. But they were fun to do and I will try to transplant some outside.

Thanks BFF..you KNOW who you are!!



I was sadly disappointed to find my strawberry pots all broken up this winter. I had no idea that one had to take them in to be protected. Now I know after all that money down the drain. I had such high hopes for them. Good thing they were on sale huh?

I did take a hammer to the pieces and used them to fill in some huge red pots I bought for the front porch so all was not lost. Just expensive filler..lol.
