BOO fest, come and gone...

Well, finally, BOOfest is come and gone.. all that is left id memories and candy wrappers...lol!

 

Because we live out in the country, we don't get 'Trick-or-Treaters like in the cities and subburbs.

But we do get a few lil' cuties at our door, Ok, so they are our grand kiddos and the kiddos of a friend out here.

We got a total of 6 lil' treaters... oh and one cute pup...

 Leilei in her witchy costume..

 Jaja in her "BOZO' wanna be clown costume...

 Aidee in his Super Hero costume... the blond wig cracks me up!

and our 'late in life' fur child, Ginger... she wasn't thrilled with this costume, but she tolerated it fr a whole 8 minutes! lololol!

I wonder what she will be next year? lol!

Remember Butter Dishes?

When I was a child growing up,, I remember mama leaving the butter out on the counter, in a covered butter dish..

Then somewhere as I grew up,, we were brainwashed into keeping our butter in the fridge..

My sister and I were talking about this the other day and wondered why??? if it is covered and not out in heat , ,, why not keep it out... After all, that's how we grew up with it..I remember mama leaving it out not just in cooler seasons, but even in summer... and here we are, still alive. lol!

 

So I went out and bought a new butter dish...

Yeepers! farm kitchen red!
Oh, and FYI... my husband grew up on margarine (yuck) and I was brought up on sweet, unsalted butter... So his margarine stays in the fridge and my butter is happy in it's new home..

Speaking of likes & dis-likes...
my hubby was brought up on Miracle Whip, margarine and sweet pickle relish..(which I detest).
I was brought up on mayonaise, butter and dill pickle relish... so on days when we have chicken/tuna/egg/potato salad... I have to make 2 batches,, his with his stuff and mine with my stuff!
Life in our kitchen is never boring!

 

 

Wine, Wine Wine...

We (hubby and me) received an unexpected package the other day,,

12 bottles of O'Leary Wines,  as in Kevin O'Leary from the T.V. show, "Shark Tank"..
I have a wine fridge for my white wines,, ,,but I had to go buy a small wine rack for my reds...
Life is rough,, Drink Wine! lol!

 

Repurposed Sweater...

 I love Cashmere sweaters,, and I use to love 'turtle neck sweaters',, but as I age, I find turtle necks to not be so comfortable anymore.

'Sew'.. I decided to open the neck line on this cashmere.. and now I can wear it again.

I used some left over Alpaca wool yarn, and bits of beads... and nestled down in front of the T.V., and crocheted on a boarder and then stitched on the beads, all in one evening.

VOILA! old sweater is new again.

Now to iron out the wrinkles,,, lol!
