81 Years Young....

While in the kitchen this morning,,, puttering around the counter where my old mixer sits... it occurred to me,,, that the mixer was built/sold in 1934... the same year as my mom was born... oh my stars!  both are 81 years...young..

How many times have I dusted around it, peeked in the little book that came with it,, and yet never dawned on me, the year and (to me) significance.
But what was even more fun was re-reading the Warranty on the back...

 This is the manual that came with the mixer.

 I love how it was written in simple layman terms about how the warranty works...

"First go to your Dealer from whom you purchased the appliance; he can usually fix the trouble. If he can't, then write us fully, saying what the difficulty seems to be..."

Can you imagine  going to Macy's or Kmart with your non-operating mixer and having a clerk work on it there on the counter... lol!
Such were the simpler of times...

MJFGOTM....

Whoot Whoot,,, I was chosen to be the October 2015, Maryjane Farm Girl of the Month...
And look what came in the mail from one of my farm girl sistas...

 tea, a 'mug rug' some sweet post cards and bumper sticker and a sweet note to me from 'Red Tractor Girl'... what a sweet surprise.

She even stitched the mug rug and adorned it with my favorite... wee lil yoyos...
Thank you Winnie. and Farm girl hugz...

Simply Said....

Simply Said... my BFF came to visit...

Hugz to you Noelle and Jay.... next time we will drive over the mountain to visit.

Dinner Guests...

It's that time of year,,, when we have dinner guests every night....

 Mama and her baby....

 Bambi snacking,,,

oh well, at least they are not out back (yet!) eating what is left of my tomatoes! lol!

Quilted Glamping Pillow...

Well I have finished the hand stitching portion of my quilted Glamping deco pillow....

 :Happy Camper" will go in our Shasta,,, after the Shasta has been re-furbished....

I think I am going to decorate it out in these fun colors of turquoise, spice red, spice orange and a hint of lime green for giggles...
I have the entire Autumn/Winter to work on deco and pillows and other goodies,,, while hubby works on the sanding and varnishing of the interior of the Shasta... I would call that an even trade off! lol!
