Father’s Day and memories

06.17.14

Love being on the go.  BUT… I also love being able to return home to enjoy the regular rigmarole.  Don’t you?   I like my nest!  But, all in all, some more wonderful weekend fun as we celebrate Father’s Day and memories in the making.


Friday-

  • Storms on Thursday night brought us lots of wind n some rain.  Friday morning while replacing some items in the back patio,  I was attacked by some Yellow jacket’s that had built a nest under one of the yard decor pieces.  However, I did find out I’m not allergic after the stings on my cheek and arm.  Good thing!
  • A return visit to the computer repair place since the laptop wasn’t working right.  Looks like I will need to replace this one pretty soon.  Recommendations???
  • Took our visiting friends shopping,  to eat,  and even had time to catch up before they scurried off!
  • Blueberry muffins were baked and  wrapped.  A treat for my nephew that usually asks for them.

Saturday-

  • Traveled to Katy for our niece, Mariah’s high school graduation.

Sunday-

  • Spent the day with Boo n Bubs celebrating Father’s Day in Austin.

Father’s Day– Boo’s day- Boo’s choice!  So he picked one of his favorite places in Austin, Homeslice Pizza.  Bubs, Boo and I started with the family pear garganzola salad, (which is fabulous), and a pie of course!  There was one lonely – remaining slice of the pepperoni/shroom that was turned into a funny looking foil swan.  (Reminded me of Sandra Bullock’s takeout in 2 Weeks Notice). LOL

Hoping that if you’re a daddy, that you were celebrated and that you had a wonderful time!

Stay tuned tomorrow.  I’ll be showing you the final look of my newly installed front porch light that I refinished~

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.
.
And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!
.
Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂

Doing something I haven’t done in 5 years and channeling my inner “momma”!

Boo and I were shopping in DesMoines and we stopped in at a local tortilleria as I had ordered some masa. However they informed me they only sell in 10 pounds or more... so out the window went my “I’ll just get 5 pounds of masa for tamales” plan. Ten pounds of masa later, I immediately called my sister for backup help! Lol
.
So today is the day for tamales!  First time I’ll make ‘em since my mommas been gone.  So I’m hoping she’s watching and guiding me along. 
.
On a good note... the masa texture looks amazing so I’m hoping it’s a good sign!!! Wish me luck!

Well, it’s a different word for a Butler’s pantry. We’ve been updating ours and I find that I’m not a Butler’s pantry kinda girl. I replaced the original door with this beauty of a door I snatched for $12! I repaired the broken panes and  took a piece of plywood to make a new center panel. I then added these details on it. 
.
Our home was built for the David Dancer family in 1883. I added the wash, fold, etc. as the space also houses our laundry room. One of these days I can show you the REST of the space but until now, you get a peek at the lovely old door leading into our scullery!
