It's less than a week since I posted last!
I DID make a few cards! They went together pretty darn easy, cause I'm determined to use up some scraps!
These are going to go to SAS4K's, if I can get my S&!% together and make some more!
In other news, I told my boss I was like the hair dresser or bartender!
His people confide in me!
We then had thee oddest conversation I think I've ever had!
I told him some stuff that needed to be addressed, and some of the complaints the guys had, and then I blurted out, "I want a raise."
He told me that they'd had a family meeting, and discussed that very thing,
and we could do it several ways.
He says: "What were you thinking?"
I said: "I'd like a dollar an hour more."
He said: " We would give you $1.50."
I said: "I'll take the $1.50!"
And that was that!
That should keep me on my cloud for a minute!
Here are some of the tomatoes I picked Monday night, cause the temperature was single digits!
Of course today was tropical!
I cleaned them, took off the ends, squashed them into freezer bags, and tossed them in the freezer!
We also got our water hooked up Monday!
I'm happy I was home, so the meter and ugly stuff is all enclosed with the hot water heater!
First thing I did was scrub toilets, and wash a load of clothes,
because, as I told Vanessa, "I have REAL water!"
I made this salsa on Sunday out of last years tomatoes I had froze!
WAAAAAYYYYYY easier to pop them out of their skins when they're thawed!
I may never scald another tomato!
Tonight I made Rhubarb Relish.
(Cause I had nuthin better to do!)
It's an awesome condiment for meat, or hot dogs, hamburgers etc.!
Looks terrrible (it's brown) but is amazing!
These are the funky scarves I've been knitting in my spare time!
There's 7 there, I'm on the 8th, but haven't sat down!
It takes 2 hours to knit one!
I've got to do some serious shoe shopping when I get a minute!
Don't know if I told you, I have a pin and a screw in my foot from the surgery, and TODAY I finally took a pair of shoes to work I can wear!
Everything (where my shoes crease) seems to hit the pin (it's under the big toe), and is extremely painful!
I was even thinking of taking my slippers!
I'd have been laughed at; but pretty sure the comfort would have been worth it!
That's all I got!
Hopefully the gf's come out for beer and a chat around the fire pit tomorrow night!
Gonna be another fun filled weekend of chores!
Gotta clean out one garden, and put some of the furniture & stuff away, get out the bird feeders etc.!
Have a great weekend folks!
Hope you're all well!
Ta ta for now!

What cute cards these are that you have made. You had some fun with these.
Our tomatoes are still ripening they were picked green most of them anyhow and we have tons of them. Hope to give some away as we have way to many for us.
I just got some new stamps and some honeycomb paper to go with them and I was checking out their website and I laughed and laughed she has some pretty good jokes there. Find the man saying things you should never say to your wife, it's hilarious. My youngest son and i watched it twice and we both liked it. To find this you will have to scroll down for awhile but I enjoyed seeing all of their beautiful things they have to offer.
the website is inkyantics.com
Wow. Your cards are great. I am looking forward to crafting again and sending cards to SAS4K. Painting should be done this weekend. I am the world's slowest painter. In my defence, I am short and it takes forever to go up and down the ladder. I am old and it takes forever to go up and down the ladder. It goes a lot faster when my daughter comes and does the cutting in and I roll the walls. Also, some of the walls that we did not redo (they were already gyprocked) needed a lot of prep work but that is done so all that is left is to paint the kitchen and bathroom. I am leaving the other bathroom unfinished until my son has more time this winter to finish it. The floors are getting done slowly. As a room gets done, I am moving stuff in. Hope to be in by the end of Sept.
I haven't made rhubarb relish for years. I used to have the most beautiful rhubarb but years of neglect and poor soil and it became very sparce. I have dug up a couple roots and will find a spot at the little house to plant it.
Your scarves look amazing. What kind of yarn are you using?
I wish I could join you around the fire pit. Sounds like a good time.
Hope you find some comfy shoes. I have arthritis in my feet and have a heck of a time finding shoes I can wear.
Hope you have a great weekend.
The cards look fantastic Gail. just right for the occassions. That was a good conversation you had with your boss. I should try that one with my husband!!!
It looks like you have been very busy with the cookery. Hope you have a good weekend

You never fail to amaze me... so much going on and so much accomplished. There's a sliver of hope I get some cards done this weekend... we'll see. And please do take your slippers to work, it would make me feel so much better. I went out in mine on Tuesday - though luckily I noticed one flight of stairs down. But really: it was a day I'd better spent reading in bed... Anyhow, have a nice weekend!
Wow, you certainly have been busy too with all that cooking and knitting etc. Have read back over your last few posts to catch up about your foot and sounds like your finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Loved seeing all your fab photos too. My future SIL wears those funny toe shoes - he told me he was going to wear them to the wedding. I hope not, LOL.
