June 16 Mason Jar

The photo challenge was a challenge yesterday, I forgot my camera. The assignment was mason jars and I was at the University Village Sidewalk Sale. It's an annual sisters trip, different sisters every year but still... sisters. I found mason jars at Pottery Barn, said a discouraging word since my camera was at home, and resolved to pirate a pic. I was forced to steal the image from PB, PW also used it this morning in her post about drink containers. As much as I love this container I didn't purchase it. I do have some control.I did find good things at Lucy, Pottery Barn, Impress, Crate and Barrel, Banana Republic etc. etc. etc.

And then I pop in at the BiG city grocery store. I hit the baking aisle for some hard to find items and some high quality cocoa for baking. Isn't that why everyone goes to the city?
Edited to add: I saved $364.50 shopping yesterday ;) Hubby loves it when I tell him how much I saved him...

June 15 Action

Well, while there was action today I was busy. Now there is NO action except the Canucks on TV... They aren't even scoring at this point, so not much action there either.

Oh bother!

June 14 Someone You Love

Someone You Love, that's easy, Hubby. Hubby mowing the lawn, well actually, the pasture.

No horse in the pasture so Hubby uses an old mower and keeps it looking good.

We're thinking about getting a calf. One of those cute white face little guys.

With the understanding that it will be hamburger and steaks someday.

That's the glitch, I like my meat anonymous and from Costco.

It's a dilemma.

June 13 Reminds You of Childhood

My Grandma's dishes remind me of Sunday dinners at the farm when I was growing up. The wheat dishes were taken out for dinners in the dining room, I don't remember what dishes we used if we ate in the kitchen. It took Grandma a long time to get her dishes. I think they came in the oatmeal. For Thanksgiving we had a juice glass of tomato juice as an appetizer. It just about killed Uncle Ted, but I loved tomato juice then and still do now.

I have my Grandma's dishes, and even though there wasn't a complete set, I kept collecting them. Now I have twenty dinner plates. So Hubby and I, our three guys, and someday their wives and their four kids each will be able to sit down to Thanksgiving dinner and use the wheat dishes. I love to think about that... almost as much as I love to think about helping Grandma set the table.

June 12 Sun Flare

Sun flares. Really? I failed. My image is from google images. I wasn't sure what a sun flare was and then after goggling sun flares I couldn't find one. I rode 11+ miles on my bike looking for one and never found it. Not even a feeble one.

Last week, in addition to taking a photo challenge, I attended, in no particular order, a wedding, a funeral, two graduations and four parties. And I sent Max off for the summer. Now, I am home, still doing laundry, regrouping and starting summer, WeAtHeR or not! Oh, and definitely, eating less. My, those parties were good... Happy Monday ;)

June 11 Silhouette

I'm not sure if this photo would be considered a silhouette or profile, but either way I took it and these guys are CuTe!
