Not much happening this weekend. We drove to Home Depot, but realized it was Saturday afternoon and decided it was going to be too crowded, so we turned around and headed back home. We'll go Monday instead. I really don't like crowds. Don grilled us some salmon for dinner and it was delish. He is the grill master, but he's passing the torch to our son, who loves cooking. What a lucky mother I am.
This is our dog Arie. She is laying on her favorite piece of furniture, but she's too big for it so she lays with her head hanging off. If I laid like that my eyeballs would be popping out, but apparently her big ol head can take all that extra blood.
Our temperatures have cooled off. This morning the low is in the 30's. Our high is expected to be in the 50's. A far cry from our highs in the 70's. Still, I kind of like this on again/off again weather. I think we might get some rain late in the week. That always makes me happy!
This little setting is on my dear mother's singer sewing machine base. I gave it to her for one of her birthdays - found it at an antique flea market. It has a nice slab of marble on top.
I'll be heading out to church soon. I teach a 1st grade class then go to hear the message. I love my church and find the messages interesting, but I have the hardest time sitting for an hour and ten minutes. It's pure torture for me to be still that long. What's a girl to do?
I hope you have a great week. Thanks for stopping by
Arie looks to be a sweetheart, hang down and everything. My grandmother used a treadle machine to make clothes for so very many of her off spring, including me. I loved to open the tiny drawers.
ReplyDeleteI can still picture my grandmother treadling away on hers. Arie is a sweet and funny dog. Have a great week!
DeleteOh do I love salmon and even better when it is cooked for me. You are lucky to have two chefs. My son in law is quite the cook too. My hubby
ReplyDeleteis my sous chef. Loves to dice and slice and stir.
Hi Arie
Hugs cecilia
Salmon tastes better when someone else cooks it (like most things do). I'm teaching my son all my favorite recipes:)
DeleteYour little vase looks so cute on your table. I hope you have a wonderful day at church and Arie sure is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love that little vase. It was my mother's. Church was good. Arie is a sweetheart. Have a great week.
DeleteYou are blessed to have 2 grillers! I think you're smart to go to the store on Monday. I'm not a fan of crowds either.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers look very cheerful!
I truley am blessed with two grillers! I'm teaching my son all my favorite meals:) The flowers have been most enjoyable this late winter. Have a great week.
DeleteIt's nice when you can turn around on a weekend and come back early in the week. That's a great part of my semi-retirement. I love that sewing machine base; it's a great memory to have in your yard.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to have mom's sewing machine base. I have admired it for years. I think of her every time I see it.
DeleteThe sewing machine stand with the bright flowers on it is wonderful! So unique and gorgeous! Well, now what kind of seating does your church have? I hope not hard wood pews. They can actually be painful to sit on for too long. How funny about Arie! Maybe she thinks she is still small! Is she a black lab?
ReplyDeleteI must admit, the seats at church are pretty comfortable, so that's not the problem! I made it through without too much trouble today. Yes, Arie is a black lab. She's a sweerheart.
DeleteI love this table. And marble. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love it too. I think of mom every time I see it, which is often. Have a great week.
