aww (all mooshy inside).

dang it, stupid smoke detectors started up again yesterday, asked Mom to pick up some fresh batteries on her way home. she ended up not having any money with her at all so when she got home we ran out to the local store and got some and of course since we were both hungry loaded up on junk food...

nobody ever listens to the people who read the manuals either...

it has been raining here this morning.

hope grands will help you out when they visit. :)

glad your pup made it home again safe and sound. :)

wow all that ways down there than it is here. a warmup coming this week for a bit.

our minimalist decoration a friend made for us: and Mom wanted to make something with pinecones and pink in a jar.

we do keep a bag of that on hand, we both like it instead of having to cook strips and also like not having to deal with the grease as we don't cook that way very often where i'd use it. Grandma, of course, never threw anything away and would use it on her homemade bread when it was done and...

i popped open a can of clam chowder. it's not something i eat very often but it can be a welcome change once a month or so.

it's quite a challenge you've got there. :) i always enjoy reading up on what is going on and how it all works together. :) also cheer you on through the victories. :)

got Mom's sewing machine back to working. long two days of dealing with Mom's stubborness and drama as much as i love her she can be a challenge at times. she has not read the manual very much if at all plus she's not spent any time trying the basic things mentioned in the troubleshooting...
