This and That

It's back to the clouds this morning.... uck
Yesterday was a good day though so I won't complain yet.... After Mass yesterday they had a free pancake and porkie breakfast so we went to that and talked to some people we haven't talked to in awhile... It was nice! Then we went to Menards and got some spindles to put bird housed on. I saw that on an email I got from one of the garden catalogs and was going to order until I saw the price.... no way am I paying about $300 for that when I have a husband that can make it for me... the spindles are only $21 for 3 and he will add something to the bottom to put into the ground. He is going to undercoat them as they are just unfinished wood....I wish I could find that picture again on the internet... I can't remember what catalog sent it to me. All I know is they were pretty. I got 1 unfinished bird house yesterday too but it didn't have a way to open to clean it out but Leo took care of that already too. Now I want to find 2 more different ones and they and the spindles will all be painted.... I think one of the colors will be the color of our shutters and will also use a lot of white I think.... it should be fun. :)
This morning I started my laundry and I think I will make another pair of slippers for my son in law.. (he wants a pair)  I started another puzzle this weekend but it is really hard.... I mean it this time, lol It has a cork backing and scalloped edges.... the edges aren't fun but when they are finished (if ever) it should not be too bad. We are thinking about doing the center now and then find the edges later. we got the top and bottom partly finished so we do have something to start with I guess.... Maybe I will try a few pieces today.
So take care today and have fun, Sandra

Hi Sandra, well done for not buying the expensive birdhouses and making your own.  How can these companies charge so much for their goods? I suppose they will as long as people are will to pay that much for them.  :o0
