Little Church in the Middle of the Woods...

Not sure but I think this was a little old church that had been added on to over the years...

But for what ever reason, was left behind,,,no more happy voices, no uplifting music, no Sunday gatherings or weddings or Christenings.....just a sad old building, forgotten by time and people...

I wish I could rescue it.....

We had taken our friends to the Airport and on the way home we decided to take the route less traveled and that is how we found this old building.
At about this time it started snowing, so we decided it was time to head home, make some hot cocoa and relax by the fire.
If only I could remember where we found this old building...I guess we'll have to take another "route less traveled" drive...

Happy Blizzard Days...

Yep, first Blizzard of the season....started on Monday and ended by mid day today...
Poor hubby has had to plow the driveway 2 mornings in a row to be able to get out of our driveway.....we are now down in the single digit temps....actually it is -3degrees....

There use to be a garden in here.....honest!

By tomorrow, we should have a 'herd of hoof prints' across the property... the deer cross from behind our property to the front side to get across to the road.

The good news is the snow has stopped for now and we should get just a little tomorrow but by Thanksgiving we might get some sunshine and a high of 30degrees,,,waahooo!

Hubby Took Me to a Graveyard...

This past weekend my hubby took me to a Graveyard,,,a vintage car graveyard that is..
Check out the cool old gas pump just to the left of the door.

I am in awe of all the old rusted vintage vehicles from the early Model A's & T's with wooden spoke wheels to the cool boulevard cruising cars of the 1950's.

Sadly, a good example of waste....Thank goodness there are some die hard vintage car afficiado restorers...

We have a restored 1954 Chevy Bel Air housed in our ManCave,,,,it is so cool to sit in the drivers set, with that huge steering wheel and beefy attention getting horn....It reminds me of when I was a little girl, riding in the ginormous back seat our family car...only now I can sit up front, next to my handsome hubby, radio playing, windows down, and just 'chillaxing'...

This old building is filled with parts, parts & more parts......

I found this interesting...an old truck door with the advertisement fading away.

What Were They Thinking????

EXCUSE ME!!!!!! NOT!

911, what's your emergency please.....

Help my husband is beating me again....

Well dear, did you make sure to use the freshest coffee for him?

Oh Baby, let me bow before you with this tray of fresh coffee and your newspaper, oh & did I tell you how handsome you look waking up in bed with your crisp white shirt & tie on?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What a Hoot!

Like the Virginia Slims cigarett ads use to say,,,

"We've Come a Long Way Baby!"

Vintage Ads are the funniest things not to mention sexist.....

I love my dear hubby of 38 years...but I draw the line at this! lol!

Don't confuse Domestic Diva with Domestic servant! lol!

hmmm, now where did I put that rolling pin?

Misc. This-n-That...

I decided not to go overboard this year on Thanksgiving deco, so I just put out my "AnnaLee Pilgrims"(shown a few topics below) and just a few of my turkeys from my collection.

This label is on the white wool shawl that I found at a local Thrift, for only $1.99...SCORE!

I laundered it and I actually use it when rocking in my chair, usually with a kitty in my lap.

I found this mid 1970's rocker that was made for & delivered to a lady in Spokane, WA...

I wonder if she is still around?

I discovered it in an upscale 2nd hand shop. I plan to recover the fabric but for now I just enjoy it, especially in the morning, cup of coffee in one hand, a kitty in my lap and watching the "Bird Channel"...lol! (birds on my balcony & feeders).

Ok, if you ask my hubby dearest,,,he will tell you..I am always bringing home "Honey-do projects" for him....and these 2 chairs are a good example..

The little one is a small student's solid Oak chair, that had layers of paint...

I bought it for $1.99, brought it home, hubby did his wood working magic and Voila'! instant cute chair....

As for the larger student desk/chair, I found it for $7.99, it needed some TLC to which my hubby took it apart, striped, glued & stained it & brought it back to life.

I have a couple of 100% wool blankets stashed under the chair... (I collect Wool Blankets).

I love that my hubby doesn't fuss to much when I bring these cast offs home for him to refurbish & bring back to life. So glad I can tap into his love of wood working....

Little does he know I want him to strip the finish off the rocker above & re-stain it...my job will to be to re-upholster it....see, I do help! lol!
