630$
That is what my car just cost me this afternoon…
it sucks…
but at least I will feel safer on the road and the squeaky noise will be no longer…
but it sucks.
I still need two new tires and a tire change…
mmm…. bbq season is back….
Well officially for me every season is bbq season but this winter when I went to make supper one evening I found that the burner had completely rusted though… So we were stuck for a few months without the great taste of grilled food….
I didn’t feel like finding the parts that I needed to bring the BBQ back from the dead so I decided that I wanted a new BBQ this year… and I am going to try to sell the old one to someone that won’t mind doing that…
So on Friday, after looking around for a few weeks, I decided on a new one… I picked it up yesterday and then today we brought it in the house this morning started the daunting task of putting it together…
After 2 1/2 hours of figuring out the puzzle that they call a BBQ…. I finished putting it together, brought it outside and fired it up to make sure it works… and it did…
Guess what we are having tonight 😉
opening the blog a bit more…
A while back, for spam and privacy reasons I had closed the blog to comments from unregistered users… I have decided to try again and leave things open..
Of course, registration still has its advantages in that there are posts that might not be out in the open and you can get notifications of new posts in your inbox… but to make it easier for people to comment I have installed a new plug in for spam and comments are now open and easier to use…
My first Etsy purchase…
I think it was more than a year ago that I started getting comments on my pics from Blanche… we friended each other and everytime she would share her husbands work on Flickr I would drool… He makes hand made lamp work glass beads… I just knew that I HAD to get something one day…
So when we got our tax return and a new batch of pics came up I just knew that it was the time…
It took me a few days to decide on exactly what I wanted… though Talie wasn’t really a hard decision to make… she is SO cute….
So I made my purchase and a few days later I got my package…
Not only did I get what I ordered but Guy and Blanche threw in a few “non perfect” beads… what a sweet gesture!!
Oh.. I also got a handwritten letter… it has been such a long time since I have gotten one of those…
I think I am going to try to write back 😉
a few more snow pics…
Here are some pics from outside…
you can see the garbage bin… but the recyling bin is covered…
The boys walking in the yard (they are higher than the gallery)
No more stairs…
a bit surreal seeing Xavier walk by the kitchen window…
