A Happy Rocker

I was needing some rocking chairs for my front porch. I found some at Lowe's and Home Depot for $100.00 each. Needless to say that was NOT in my budget. I found this pair for $10.00. They ...»

    How nice of you 'Gail'. I have raised MANY-MANY kittens, on a bottle. Our Rescue group cleaned ...»
    up the many 'pockets' of Feral cats, in our town. Also the Towns in our area, or anyone who asked. One 'Famous' Group had only one trap! We came in & took care of over 200 cats, in a few weeks.

    I have Health Problems, cause of 24/7 hrs. of pain. I don't sleep at night anyway, what better way to spend your time. From Midnight too the sun comes up?

    I got to the rest of your story...too FUNNY. Do they still come around? Or did you have too move? LOL. My Son has a Goose that fell in love with him, at the Golf Course. Won't let any Ducks or Geese come around him, hasn't followed him home...YET!

    A Horse we rescued from Slaughter, at 9 Mons. old, living behind me. An 'Appaloosa'(?) we called 'Rocky', comes to visit. They have done everything to keep in his stall, still he breaks out. Then there's ,'Ace' a white 'Arabian' who visite's too. He belong's to one of my son's ex-girlfried. I love all there visit's.

    (((HUGS))) to you 'Gail' Arent animals Great...LOL. Hugs,Pegi

Garden Diva Chick

I've had this wire dress form for a long time and have been wanting to do something with it. Paid a visit to Wingard's Nursery because they had a potting area with very helpful staff. Had a good day being creative with her.

    That piece looks great in your kitchen Jamala. ...»

    My Mom collected tins. I'm not sure if I have some of hers in the basement storage area or not anymore. I know I gave some to my nieces when she passed. If I do still have some I'll have to remember your trick. Mom would have liked this too since she loved gardening too.
