4 Ways to Decorate a Plain Vase for a Garden Party
I wish I could invite you to a garden party this week.
I would make a fudge pie.
Along with some sweet tea.
I don’t know exactly how I would set the table.
I know I would use my blue dishes
and, my grandmother’s green glasses.
I have a few ideas on the centerpiece. . .
Summer Front Porch
I like sweet tea.
Let me rephrase that. . .
. . . I LOVE sweet tea.
As a child, I went straight from milk to sweet tea.
My mama packed in my thermos every day for lunch.
No Kool-aid for me as a child.
How to Make an Amazing Fudge Pie
I have never read the book,
How to Win Friends and Influence People.
I know that Mr. Carnegie offers some great advice.
But, I feel confident that somewhere between;
“Smile.”
and,
“Offer genuine appreciation.”
Should have been;
“Bake Aunt Lois’s fudge pie.”
Because if you are wanting to win friends,
influence people,
(or bribe your children.)
You need to have this recipe.
New Rugs!
I think shopping for a rug is the equivalent to
shopping for blue jeans. . .
You need the item,
you just can’t seem to find one that will do?
I have been rug shopping for a year.
Not straight.
On and off.
Why couldn’t I find a rug (or jeans)?
1. I am cheap.
2. I measured and remeasured trying to find the perfect fit.
3. I wanted something basic, yet with personality.
4. Did I mention that I am cheap?
Miss Mustard Seed Ironstone Chairs
I used to pray for twin boys.
Oh, the fun they would have. . .
the mischief they would get into. . .
the great laughs they would share. . .
How to Paint Metal Chairs
I have no feeling in my pointer finger. . .
One of the hazards of spray paint.
Forget the toxic fumes,
or the detrimental affects on the ozone.
No one ever mentions the dangers to the trigger finger.
Railroad Tie and Concrete Block Deck
Sometimes I wonder if I might be a bit of a redneck?
I laugh at most, “You might be a redneck. . . ” jokes.
There are a few that I can relate to. . .
And, others that I get ideas from. . .
Duck Egg Side Table
I have dreams.
Dreams of a sparkling clean house. . .
Dreams of an organized garage that you can actually park a car in. . .
Dreams of a Kitchen Scale blue pick-up truck. . .
Old Door for Photos
We were sitting at the dinner table last night,
when my oldest daughter, Daisy said with a smile,
“I learned something new about myself today.”
It is always fun to make new discoveries about yourself.
I thought maybe she was going to share a new food she likes.
Or, a new interest that she has.
Miss Mustard Seed Ironstone Table
A crazy thing happened at my house the other day.
I have heard of this thing happening at other people’s houses. . .
I have seen it on movies. . .
But, I have never experienced it first hand.
