in my sewing room------ Painting shelfs!!

Today, working on shelf's for my sewing room, all the walls and trim are already painted the carpet is up so, now i wanting to hurry and get it back together, but it is going slow. I have got a new counter top and it need to be cut to fit and also a new cabinet also.I don,t get much help, i am doing what i can, but waiting on my hubby to do the cut work, maybe soon it will be done. My brother is going to do the floors for me, but before he can do that i have got to take the hall carpet up and to my front door, before the floor will be lay , so I need to get that done also and painted.........

All of my grands are in school ,except little fellow, Little cupcake is liking kindergarten so far, I hope it she will always like going. I miss them all but it does give me a little break. They are already asking to stay the week in ,so I guess if they don't have ball games they will be here.

As for as the garden go, my beans have not done so good, it have been to dry and the bloom are falling off, i will get what i can off of them and get the rest from the Amish to can.

A memory, of my first year of school, we lives in town and walk to school, they would be several kids walking together. Mom would take me and my sister and get a permanent put in our hair and a pair of shoes and 2 new dresses and we couldn't,t wait to wear them. I remember that we had to learn all of our ABC before we would get our first reader book, It was the Alice and Jerry book, We had to go to the teacher desk to read, my teacher, we called her Miss Marie, she was never married, and she was a very good teacher, I just had her for my first year of school, The school is still standing and it is a farm and tractor store now.We move to a farm and them i had to ride a school bus, someday that will be another story, but setting out on the porch and listening to sounds can sure bring back memories.

Bible verse, PROVERBS 8 verse 33 Listen to what you are taught,Be wise; do not neglect it.

in my sewing room------ Hello!!!!!!

Today..... I t going to be a very hot day, just have little fellow today, his big brother is going to middle school this week to get use to his classes and the changes, he just go half day, his sister is at a friends house and the other three grands are at home with their parents, they didn't have to work today... All of my grands will be in school soon ,even little cupcake will have to go to kinder garden this year so i will just have little fellow . It take me a while to get use to not having all of them, It is almost to quiet here today!! LOL
My sewing room is a mess ,mess ,mess, i haven't done very much sewing just what had to be done.. Why is it a mess, it is being remodel, all the big work is done and now it is time for paint and new flooring, can't wait to get it done and back to my sewing!!!!!!
As for as my garden work and canning, my garden is late and not ready for canning, i have can some green bean that my friend has given me. They are little fellow favorite bean, called Roma bean. I have got some in my garden but they are not ready yet. I will be canning beans, beets, and jellies and tomatoes and juice, and some bread and butter pickle and freezing corn.
Baseball is over for the big guy but the granddaughters are having ball tournament every week in and it have been fun going to watch them, the twins are on a all star team and the Laura bug is on a travel team so sometime they has to play each other, so when that happen i cheer for both teams. I really enjoy watching them....
A memory, setting out this morning drinking my coffee, before little fellow got here, just hearing the sounds of bugs hollowing and it just sounds like fall is on the way but any way when i was little, mom and dad and all of us kids would be on the porch and they would be a wash tub full of green beans and we would all have to help break the beam for mom to can, she would built a fire on the outside and can them in a big tub, don't remember how many quart it would be , but she was proud to get them done, she would can over a hundred quart for the winter and to the next garden season.. mon and dad would set on the porch every night when the weather was pretty, we had a big old mulberry tree in the yard and we would climb the tree to pick the mulberry they was so good . I could go on and on but memories are wonderful to have.....Now a day you just don't see family setting out on the porch, I love setting out on the porch and watch the people past by or just listening to the sounds, and think. my hubby don't like to set out much but i can get him to set out sometime.
Well i guess this is all for today,stay cool everyone and have a great day!!
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!!
