36,000 ft. and counting...

Here's the vest.....see the collar??? I need to rip back a few dozen rows.....

Even the photo is cockeyed.
I'm not seeing the option
to rotate the pic.
See the collar?
Oops.. 

Oh well, we all had a good laugh....I'll rip it out and start over.

The jury is back on the Peppercorn, Garlic Pork Tenderloin from Trader Joes' - it's a do over.
It's easy and quick,
Very tasty....now Man In  Black is going in for the Pumpkin Cheescake....he's not even waiting for it to thaw.

Are you interested in these Team Sicily???

Today we went to the antique sale - three old collectible cameras, a set of vintage doves, and a large oval galvanized trough for planting the entire Wizard of Oz scene and now we're ready to relax and begin the evening - I also planted strawberries, pink geraniums and cleaned out two closet shelves this weekend.....it's been productive....I'm finally getting a handle on the amount of clutter that fills this house. Bags and bags stand ready at the front door for a oneway trip to the thrift store.

Finally cute shades.....
no more plastic miniblinds in my house
only took a couple of decades
better late
than never

Here's something that's so far overdue in completing I don't even want to tell you - I love the look of these shades. I've had miniblinds for years under these curtains and each and every day I've thought "I've got to get rid of those things".... but in life there's always something more pressing. Mortgage payment, food, car payments, etc....well, now I've opened the can of worms and I'm going through the house completing the window treatments that have bothered me. Does that mean we no longer have "more pressing finances?"

Not hardly - I'm just getting too old to wait any longer....they really do make a HUGE difference in the room - I'm the type of person who runs outside to see how it looks from the street (it has to look equally good from both inside and out since curb appeal is a must)

Speaking of curb appeal....what do you think of this?

This house typically has shutters on the windows..
they get changed out for each holiday
"Halloween Shutters"
were installed about an hour after this photo

I love this house, she has a yard filled with an entire village of gnomes and has a sweet little sandbox area with toys for small children to play when they walk past....she's NEVER had anyone tamper with her yard and the kids always leave the toys behind for the next child to play with...sweet.



 A nice childhood memory for them to make of the "lady in the green house with little toys in her yard".

Enjoy your day....I'm working on a slouchy (I'm out of yarn and I'm not finished with it yet...bummer)
Next will be a couple of beanies and a new cowl...it's a link to Ravelry that I'll post tomorrow.
Those of you who will be enjoying Jack Frost this winter may like this new pattern I found. 

Thanks for stopping by....the fact that there are sooooo many bloggers out there and that you take time to come over and read mine....it's very appreciated. Thank You!!!

I'll have time today to visit your blogs and leave comments...I finally resolved the problem with not being able to leave a message. Now you'll all be hearing from me.  

Here's the French Toast from Traders
in the frozen section

See you tomorrow, can you believe how quickly this month is going? We'll be talking Christmas trees soon.
