A Beautiful Day in This Neighborhood

It appears that I have not posted in awhile. That is because I have been trying to add pictures, and they will not post. I find that extremely annoying.

Yesterday (Saturday) our family had a yard sale. We will be doing this again on Saturday, it was sooo much fun.

Okay, well not actually FUN, but enjoyable and profitable enough to do again.

With more stuff. Lots more stuff.

THGGM made the best sale. He sanded a pair of dressers we have had for about 28 years. Then, he painted them black and added brushed nickel hardware. They looked great. I wish I had thought to take a picture of them.

We met a few more neighbors, too. I really like my neighborhood, you might like it too. There are some great houses for sale around here. As THGGM walks the neighborhood nearly everyday, he picks up the info at each 'For Sale' sign. There are still a lot of 'walkers' in our neighborhood, as evidenced by how many people recognized him. "Oh! You live HERE!"

I am happy to announce that I have successfully ALMOST completed ONE sewing project. I broke down and bought the suggested handles. It does seem wise to follow the directions for the first few times, and I have ALMOST done that.

Oh,and I also made a "Cowboy Bag" for Jonge, with which he was not impressed.

And, I must note that today, June 29, 2008 was as nearly perfect a summer day as possible. Cool, cloudy, a bit breezy. BEAUTIFUL.

(Well. Would you look at that. A picture finally saw fit to post.)

The picture is of Oldest Son, who once on a day as lovely as today looked up from his book and said to me, "This is the perfect kind of day to stay inside and read a book."

I looked up from my book in my corner of the living room and gave a hardy amen to that.
