I Not Lost

I wanted to say a few words, to just let everyone know I'm OK.
I have been very busy trying to get the house and garden ready so I could go to California to see the grandson. 
Two weeks ago I went on a Bus Trip to 6 shop that were in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. Which was so much fun and came back with so many new ideas but seeing how I was/am leaving there was no time for getting to anything new. But sure do have plans for when I get back. 


Then the next two weeks it was working in the garden weeding, prepping and planting. Was able to get planted 12 tomatoes, 25 sweet potato plants and 9 peppers. I wasn't going to do much this year but did end up doing a bit. So that is done and hopefully everything will do well while gone. Do know the weeds will be as big as the plants by the time I get back.

Did get the house in order the best I could and "the Man of The Place" is on his own now.

Left yesterday and now in New Mexico. My plans of flying changed. My parents wanted to drive their fifth wheel to California. They are in their 80's and having been out like this in a good 6 years or more and Mom is not in the best of health so I came along to help them. That way they can make the trip. So far Dad is doing good driving but Mom is not doing as well. She is unstable on her feet, worries me. 
We are all having a great time.
I will do my best to write more.
I need to because the end of the month will be my 5 year anniversary of my blog.
I have to come up with some way to celebrate and share it with you. I'll have more on this soon.

Thanks for all of you.

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        ...
