Third Post This Week

  Wow! I must be on a roll. This is the third time I've posted on my blog this week. What is the world coming to? I must be hooked on it.  Will I keep it up or slide back into complacency? Time will tell.
  Spring cleaning has started. I actually cleaned and straightened my bedroom closet. And yesterday I cleaned the bedroom. Well, almost. I've got to go back and wash the windows and dust the overhead fan and then I'm done with that room. Awesome! Can you believe it?
 
  This is the hutch that I bought at the junk shop I promised to show you. I only paid $32 for it. It was a little scratched up but, with some Old English, it cleaned up really nice. It has the perfect dimensions to fit against the wall in the kitchen. I must have changed the display on it at least five times before I was satisfied.

  This is one of the UFO's I teased you with in a past post. I finally got this table runner with the 'Puss in the Corner' block completed and am working on potholders to match.

  My youngest daughter took me out to lunch today to a nice little sandwich/gift shop near our homes. We had the most unusual soup and sandwich combo. Here goes. I'm going to make your mouth water! The soup was a combination of spinach, carrots, onions and cheese. We split a panini sandwich made of sliced turkey, lettuce, provolone cheese, cranberries, and horseradish on cranberry bread. See...I told you I would make your mouth water.
  After lunch we stopped at a local junk shop and I purchased a mini hutch to place in a small space in my kitchen. After hauling it home and cleaning it up, I rounded up some items from my cupboards to display. I'll take pictures and show it off in the future.

A Quick Check In

Our lifestyle has changed since my husband of nearly 50 years had a serious stroke in May 20019. No more running out for groceries when I wa...
