Guess what? If you guessed that we're celebrating 20 years of marriage, on staycation and at Barnes, then you win a star on your forehead and an A on your paper.
In other news, the radish sprouts are spicy and taste of a good radish. The bad news, no pictures yet. On the sunny side, macro shots to come because we swapped things out.
See, I tried having a taller photography table only I'm short and that didn't work. Going back to a lower bench on one side and saw horses on the other. Much lower and easier.
Another thing I did was remove the sewing fabric from one of the tables. Since I wasn't using that space for photography, it turned into a dumping ground for unused new(ish) fabric. I've since sewn one blanket for Smoochie Face and have one more to make for the couch. Followed by Halloween potholders.
Hiding in the corner of the room are wooden planks that don't belong. To me, a room should be tasked with one to two things. That's a writing/computer desk for Tim and a photography corner for me.
In other, other news, today's mail had my new purple/lilac/lavender tablet cover. I LOOOOOOOOVE it. I'm at Barnes writing so I'll have to show you next time. Also at the post was a bag of rocket/arugula sprouting/micro green seeds. We LOVE rocket. Love, love, love, love it. Even the name, Rocket. It's perfect for that spicy good kick. Excited to watch the seeds grow, photograph the sprouts and then gobble them up.
Num, num, num.
Lastly, the goal during staycation is to weed through my cooking and baking tools one last time. Donate the what I'm not taking. The easier we make the move, the better. Plus, since the Great Declutter of 2016, I'm a "use it or lose it" gal.
And that my Boogerbutts, is all that's fit to print. Until next post, huggs and bugs, Me.
Congratulations!

Hi Jan! Right? How good is rocket/arugula. We love it. Peppery. That's a good way to describe it. I couldn't think of the word. Thanks.
DeleteHappy Anniversary to you and yours Ivy!
ReplyDeleteMuch thanks, Christine. PS: Spelt cookies in the oven now. How goes your baking?

ReplyDeleteHi Alex! Thank you and congrats on 15 years of blogging. Wow wow!
DeleteHappy Anniversary. You're moving?!? Or just getting ready for it?
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy! Getting closer. Insert big smile here :-)
DeleteA very happy anniversary to you - and many more to come.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Thnak you! I loved the lights on your blog, Wow wow.
DeleteHappy Anniversary. I've recently become a "use it or lose it" person and so far I've cleared out around 15 drawers worth of useless stuff. Mostly old paperwork, but it's a start. Unused cooking pans and trays etc are going next.
ReplyDeleteHi River! How wonderful to read about 15 drawers!!! This is wonderful. Oh yeah, back in 2016 I took EVERYTHING out of the kitchen and placed it all on folding tables. I wish, wish, wish, I'd thought to snap a shot of it. Felt great to donate/giveaway stuff I hadn't used. Figure it's time to do another quick look before we move. Happy Decluttering to you!
DeleteHappy Anniversary. Wishing you another 20+ happy years together.
ReplyDeleteHey Ann! Thank you so much. Happy Birthday to you and here's to finding a new and better gig. You've got so much good energy, I betcha someone scoops you up to manage a bakery.
DeleteYour drawings always make me feel happy, they look happy, they are happy.. and Happy Anniversary. I had no clue what rocket/arugula is, so asked GG the Google Girl and now I know. I have never even seen this in a store or heard the name. Since IBS doesn't care for greens, I will not be trying it, and Bob has to be careful with greens because is whacks out his coumadin. not to be a drag, but this is what happens when you have been married 40 years and its a 2nd marriage. the first would have been 61.. woo boy, now I need to go look at your happy drawings again. my favorite is the stay cation
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the kind words about my Whisk Cartoons. They are fun to draw. I can understand that about the greens. Hey, 40 years married. Wow, wow. That is very, very, very cool. How goes your macro photography? Taking any fun snaps?
DeleteHappy Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteHi Lori! Thank you and Happy Baking and Happy Anniversary to you too!
