Unplanned Leave of Absents




I had no intentions of being gone from the blogging world for this long. It's been weird cause I so enjoy writing and sharing my little world here in Oklahoma.
It started with me trying to get the house in order for my daughter and the grandsons who were coming to visit the 3rd of January. They came and things changed.

First they were going to be here for 6 days but that changed to 2 weeks. Boy were we excited since we hadn't seen them in months and Grandpa aka "the man of the place" hadn't in almost a year. Seeing how they live in California and only I have been able to go out there to visit this past year. 
Then with a new job and finding a home to purchase, we have had the boys to ourselves while my daughter and her partner take care of it all back in California.
But it has been many, many, many years since my kids were 20 months, let alone 2 at the same time. Grandma has been able to keep up with them but boy by the time they go to bed this Grandma is ready to jump in hers too. 
But now for blogging, I'm not stopping but I know time is a issue with me and I realize posting will be inconsistent for a few more weeks so I hope you'll please keep checking back.
I try to make it worth your wild.
Until the next post

    It's good to know all is well and you are enjoying your grandsons. Exhausting I know but you will remember the fun and forget the tiredness. Have fun. I'll still be here when you get back.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
