Critters

 I am so far behind in everything that I don't know where to start! This cat has just simply taken over and does just what she pleases.  I do know that cats are pretty darned independent, but really?!  Not only does she horn in on Spencer's pillow, but she sleeps in his bed!

Hildy had to have a tooth pulled this morning so we are pampering her and giving her drugs!  Poor thing didn't even act like she was in pain, but we noticed a swollen area on her face and she had a tooth that had cracked.  She will be much better now. 

I spent a few days last week with a dear friend of mine and it was so nice.  We had no agenda to speak of and in our quest to find a good deal at all of the flea markets and antique shops, we met the nicest people.  We also didn't lack for something to eat. I gained a pound or two for sure. Our retreat at the cabin this summer involves more fun craft projects and so we were looking for some pretty glassware for one of these garden art pieces.  In Keensburg we found a place with so many old pedal car skeletons outside just waiting for someone to replace the rust with new parts and paints.  This man had old toys, mostly trucks and cars of every era that it was like a museum, but after we told him what we were looking for, he rummaged through some of the rusty wagons and we came home with 6 pieces which will give us a start.  I can't wait to make a first example, but it will involve some re bar, some nuts and bolts and some paint as well as a little welding and experimenting.  Also taking up much of my time has been the ongoing quilting projects and the Mr. has the basement drywalled (those sheets are heavy suckers).  Mudding and taping and painting will also take much time and effort.  Mostly, I consult.  Anyway, that's it for now...stay tuned!
