May 4th, Photo-A-Day D
Photo-A-Day D I bet you thought I would post a picture of Bear the DOG but H-E-L-L-O!! We all know she is a fur baby and not JUST a dog!!! D for dark; as in when it gets dark here it gets DARK!! Then I could just post a big square black picture and you would never know the difference. So, I chose D for dishwasher. Not not just any ole’ dishwasher. Ohhhh no! Not me!! A 1962 dishwasher. On the phone with Alice working on a school assignment she had to interview Mom and Grandma and ask questions about when they were in the second grade. I told you already; that made my brain hurt! One of the questions was “What was the most modern appliance you had” Oh my gosh, memory of the very first dishwasher came flooding back to me! We were the hoity toity house with our dishwasher. No one else we knew had one! Aunts, uncles, cousins and neighbors were so jealous!! Everyone had to come see the dishwasher! *you had to really clean the dishes before you put them in this beast. So my first question as an adult is why did my parents…

May 3rd Photo-A-Day C
Today’s Photo-A-Day is C for Connie. Except I hate taking my picture! My nose always looks like it’s 10 times to big for my face. C for candy. Except that I really have too much candy around and well, it would make you guys so hungry! C for coffee. That would have been wayyyyy to easy because where I am there is coffee. Instead I picked cotton. Not like cotton clothing, although there is nothing better than a vintage, soft cotton t-shirt. Not cotton balls which I seem to go through a ton of every month. But I chose cotton tufts also known as cotton boll! The kind you decorate with. There is something very rustic and country chic about cotton bolls. This particular set comes with 12 cotton bolls and a rustic wire on the back side that is about 2″ long. My plan is to wrap around sticks and branches that Bear and I find on our walks.

I love that these have the flexible wire so I can adjust the look and easily…
