A Day in My Life!

Yesterday was a full day I got up and started a new knitting project a scarf on large needles so it went fast. Found some wonderfully fuzzy yarn called voodoo I’m using the off white color, got it at the one dollar store it’s great, went back for another kind that is a purpley mix of colors. Hubby had an appointment at the chiropractor’s office so I took the truck and did a bit of shopping while he was in there. He walks after the appointment so I went with him we walked to the fruit stand and to the motor cycle & four wheeler shop across the street for the fruit stand where I sold my big bike Vulcan Classic 1500 c.c.

After that we went to The Diamond Shop and I got my ring that was being sized down so I don’t loose it. We looked at some new rocks for a ring or new stone for our 35th wedding anniversary coming up in a couple of years.

Just down the street is a shop called Yesterday’s Treasures I’ve been in several times to “visit” the table / desk I’ve had my eye on there was a small table in the basement of the farm but brother in law burned it so this one is a replacement of sorts. They could not get furniture out the steep basement steps that had been build over and around the contents of the basement. I was thinking of this for an out side work space potting plants and such. I would have gotten it Wed. but the antique shop did not have any one to help me haul it up the stairs and outside to load it in the truck. Hubby helped me with that, we brought it home and I painted the legs every thing except the top it needed a bit of gluing, it has an old handle and drawer front and legs the rest is new wood. I love it except it was an awful grey color. The color I have on now is a soft peachy off white. I will be putting an antique finish on later.

Hubby washed his truck and had some other errands to do over town I opted to stay home and paint the weather was lovely. I was setting up the saw horses dear son showed up and he helped me to get the ½ sheet of plywood and table/desk moved to the back yard where I was going to be painting.


Later we went to look at the progress on dear daughter’s house and they have sold their other home and have until June to get this new one finished, they have some paint on, some cabinets up, sub flooring nearly done, the patio is poured, step to the basement are in, half & of the deck it done. After that we went to look at a boat for a friend of hubby’s. I took my knitting and did that while they were talking. Then we went to dinner a new place here called Grumpy’s. We were less grumpy after we ate!

I came home and had a flash back of being a newly wed that’s what I call it when the kitchen is buried I used to let the dirty dishes pile up until we ran out of clean ones I did not have a dish washer in those days, the dishes would just about reach the bottom of the top cabinets, I took the leaf out of the table so less stuff could fit on it. I got the dishes loaded in the dish washer and the laundry got done during the day too. I made up some Jell-o for dear son’s b.b.q today. [I’ll be doing a green salad too]. I’d work on that between coats of paint and work on my new knitting project. A scarf for holiday gifting.

The weather is glorious here today so it will be fun day here too. Fri. nite we were going to eat at one of our favorite spots but there was an hour wait so we didn't but did wonder over to see the new rv park http://www.hellscanyon.net/Default.htm and enjoyed that. They had a hot tub pool and it is right by the river.
