More shoping

I went shoping again online earlier this week, there was this email that just forced me to so shoping . this chip and dip plate was on sale for $60, and then i saw some other stuff. so i just had to add to the collection and buy some more ....
Old country Roses.
yes i kept all the boxes .
Tomorrow we go out to watch the start of the Yukon Quest dog race so i might even get some more stuff up here before I go on Vacation again.

Car accident

a picture paints a thousand words.

so what can i say. i had a car accident this week. on Tuesday. a gent ran a red light. i hit my head on the visor and got a big bump. which turned into this first photo here on Wednesday below, with only one black eye

then i slept the wrong way and then i 2 black eyes , taken on friday.

the car totaled, tho i managed to drive it home about 4 blocks.

dealing with the the related problems has been my week.

More work on the house.

Oh you want to see what i have been up to on the house.
sure, i spent forever painting the closet here, getting the shelf was a bitch i have carpet down. Matt helped me get it from Home depot Christmas Eve. I have the light in , thanks to another Friend
Also got this vinyl cut and laid. ( that s alot of work those rolls are heavy) and going round that pole was a bitch my myself. I even got it all under the washing machine. its not glued yet.

I have decided today that the drawers clash with the vinyl so i have got them painted today with primer; a pain staking fiddly job. tomorrow they get the antique white treatment.

and to go round my wonderful windows from the summer I have some maple trim. Well pine that is stained to look like maple. Here is one stained and one not. a coat of varnish and they just need to be cut to get put up. i also have the Sheetrock holes nearly fixed with new sheet rock and 3 coats of mud.
and a whole lot of dust in my hair....
next I get to work on the steps they need to painted, but first the sanding, and sanding, and more dust in my hair. I bought a little wee sander today.
Tools are everything.

thanksgiving my house

here we are again with my fine china getting used. I recently bought the serving dish in the middle i made some real fine corn bread. i might have to do it again.

Got everything organized and had the usual too much food. Yes there is still some turkey in the fridge. my orange and Avocado Salad was a hit again. And Amy's Sweet potatoes are still just wonderful.

Charlotte whose 2 1/2 wanted pumpkin pie, there was more pie all over that place . it was so funny. but I am not sure what Mom thought.

Charlotte always has a wonderful time at my place and doesn't want to go home. It was a good day and lots to be thankful for, my friends as always.
