**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I suppose I have compulsive tendencies…I suppose I could admit to that….. I suppose it could be considered that I might have hoarding-tendencies….. But I don’t think so….. No…I don’t…..

So…I started collecting door knockers a while ago….. …..no big deal…..there are a lot of cool ones out there…and who…

Sometimes life gives you lemons….. I just wanted to share some recent lemonade….. …..remember when I was “testing” the plant holder…..?….. …..by hanging a bag of onions from it…..?…..

It didn’t end well….. …..not well at all….. …..there were tears and sadness….. After that the hanger was…

So many things to write about. I hadn’t been that shaky tired for a long time.  My truck even sighed and died (temporarily) at one of the Hunts.  I had to be jumped and then get two new batteries.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My stained glass panel sold at the Silent Auction during the Ball, as well as my silly painting.  So I made a little bit of money for our Hunt. I’ve finally gotten the photos on the computer, so here…
