Advice

If the wife can't see too good without her contact lenses, don't put the Red Hot on the toopthpaste shelf!!



She will in fact attempt to squeeze it onto her toothbrush.

Oooh!

My sister and I visited my grandmother last weekend, and she gave us some things to take home. I got these two sheepskin barstool covers (and a sewing machine)!



Mmm, soft.

I am thinking they will be two round cushions, each half sheepskin, half crochet.



OR: One sheepskin cushion and one crocheted cushion?

GARBAGE BOOKS!!



Yep, I snagged a few.

I'll show you soon...

New hairstyle?



The problem is: what to do with the rest of the hair.

Found last night!

On the way home from Greg's birthday party: a sturdy old wooden box!



Isn't it nice?

A handle on each side, one with number 3!



And on one end, a drawing...





What in heck is it supposed to be???
