Random Bits

From the first moment I walked into the Curtis Wright I knew there was a great oven in the junk.  If nothing else I can spot a diamond in the rough.

It had a 1/2 inch of dust and icky bits everywhere.

 I've spent the better part of two days uncovering a beauty.

 I love the cooking times and temperatures on the oven door.

 The burner grates are missing and the springs need to be replaced.

 Overall, it is in good condition and I love the shape and lines.  The door handles need to be chromed but the overall body is in great shape.  I cannot wait to see if she works.   Isn't she pretty?

 Hubby and I have been enjoying the last days of summer.  Friends on the patio for starters and dinner indoors.  Warm afternoons and cooler evenings in September.

 I've been crafting too.

 Jeremy and Rene spent a few days with us this week.  They were in town helping family.  It was fun to see them.  It's always a lot of laughter with them.

The garagecarportwoodshed project is almost complete.  Hubby and I worked nonstop for two days, took four trips to the dump with a grand total of 1,257+ pounds of garbage, wood,  and recycling.  We are still married.  I just need to recycle four tires and sell a metal cabinet.  There are still a few areas to rearrange but the junk is gone.  I had made a trip to Goodwill and one to the thrift store. It feels so good.

It's Fall y'all and so begins the raking.  I have done some trimming and weeding this week.  My goal is to fill three 5 gallon buckets or three wheel barrels a day with yard waste.  Slow and steady wins the race.

Happy Fall!
