A day at the museum.

 

Day 100 of 2026

GB#2 sang a solo/duet tonight in front of a large crowd. 

What courage and confidence that takes. 

She and her singing partner did very well. 

I am so proud of them.

Day 47 of 2026

Back before I started this blog, 

I made this quilt for T-bone for his high school graduation. 

I only backed it with flannel because the top was also flannel. 

I did not tie or quilt it.

Through the years it has come apart. 

I guess that's what the actual quilting is for- to keep it together. 

I have washed it gently and hung it over several folding chairs to air dry. 

I'll put it in my queue so I can begin to do repairs and quilt it properly. 

Pictures will surely be posted as work progresses.

Pizza out with the girls...

Day 316 of 2024

Old school projects are fun to come across while cleaning things out. 

I'm not sure what the assignment was, 

but I was always intrigued by this one by T-bone.

 

Day 265 of 2024

Even the outtakes from this family photo shoot turned out well.

 

Day 256 of 2024

T-bone gave me a Rubik's 2x2 cube to solve today. 

I had to think about it for a bit, 

but now I realize that is the same as the 3x3 solution

 with the elimination of several steps. 

 

Day 182 of 2024

One Big Adventure.

 

Day 240 of 2023

I'm still enjoying the snapdragons I received from T-bone on Mother's Day. 

I walk by them every day to the car or mail box.

 

Day 239 of 2023

T-bone took GB#2 and GB#4 to see the Barbie movie today. 

I think they liked it.

Day 149 of 2023

It was a great day for a gathering. 

We cooked out and had our first fire in the new fire pit

 that we completed last fall right before our first snow.

T-Bone also brought me flowers for Mothers' Day. 

Snapdragons have a special place in our hearts 

so these will get planted in a pot on the front porch 

where I can see them every day.

 

Day 120 of 2023

"Here, I'll just carry these two mattresses to the curb. 

No problem." 

We were a party of five today, all doing some heavy lifting. 

Progress is being made at the Old House.

 

Day 16 of 2023

One of my tasks for today was to remove the mirror from the wall 

to make wall prep before painting easier. 

Fireball helped with this job as it was quite heavy. 

Once I went back into the room, 

I found this which has been hiding behind the mirror. 

The top picture is one of many practice pieces I found in that space. 

The bottom picture is the final painting that is on the wall above the closet door. 

This particular one was done by T-bone and according to his signature, 

the artwork, and the bathroom, was done in 1999, almost 25 years ago. 

While it's sad to see all this go, it is high time the room got an update. 

I'll be posting lots of pictures of the current bathroom, 

the process and the finished room 

on More Curiously when I take breaks in the actual working on it. 

I'll link posts when they go up.
