Identical to the intro to yesterday’s put up felt very overused, right this moment’s is as well–some weeks I’ve a ton of pictures, some weeks I’ve subsequent to none; and a few weeks, I’ve pictures however they’re hardly price bothering to take a look at. This week, it is principally the latter. I did not have a really thrilling week. Subsequent week, I ought to have pictures from up north–hopefully extra thrilling 😉
Anyway, here’s what’s on my digicam roll…
Jerry had the day without work work just a few days in the past, so we went as much as Ann Arbor to the Salvation Military. They’ve an enormous retailer, and Jerry needed to seek out some summer time garments. I purchased just a few issues, this shirt being one in every of them. It says, “At all times be kinder than you’re feeling”; Jerry and I had simply had a dialog about that very factor on the experience up there.
I additionally discovered these overalls. I’ve needed a pair of overalls for years, and I by no means see them at thrift shops (most likely as a result of no one has worn them because the 90’s?). Anyway, I noticed these ones and I fell in love–I completely love them! I really like the colour of the denim and the large legs with uncooked hem.
They seemed a bit of small, so once I checked out the tag, I noticed “GAP Youngsters” XXL. Bummer! This image beneath reveals them subsequent to a pair of jeans–so you’ll be able to see simply how small they’re!
Even if I may JUSTBARELY pull them over my hips, and the straps weren’t lengthy sufficient over my shoulders, and the legs are someplace between “cropped” and “capri”, I purchased them anyway–and I’ve made this right into a undertaking that I have been engaged on earlier than mattress. Make them wearable and never bad-looking.
I really like how they’re turning out! That is what they seemed like once I opened the facet seams. I felt impressed and overwhelmed on the identical time, however they have been actually enjoyable to work on. A make-up-as-you-go-along undertaking. I am going to put up footage as soon as they’re performed.
Duck hates it once I pay extra consideration to something in any respect than I do him; so whereas I used to be making an attempt to measure and minimize cloth, he determined it was time that I present him extra consideration.
Eli went up north together with his girlfriend Ava’s household for just a few days. The one footage I ever handle to get of my children are from their social media! Even once I ask them to ship me their footage, I solely get a pair. However here’s a cute one in every of Eli and Ava…
I all the time like trying although the percentages and ends on the thrift retailer, and I occurred to come back throughout these stickers that somebody printed. What the heck–?! So bizarre. And who the heck would dislike cats *that* a lot?
It has been a practice because the children have been little that I’d give them every a chocolate orange of their Christmas stockings. (I beloved chocolate oranges and had one each Christmas, too.) Nevertheless, I have not been capable of finding them since 2019! I do not know if the pandemic induced a chocolate orange scarcity or what, however the children and I’ve been disillusioned each Christmas after we search for chocolate oranges.
Then, whereas Jerry and I have been in Ann Arbor, we stopped at a retailer known as World Market that has some fascinating stuff in it. And so they had chocolate oranges! In July. I could not imagine it. So I purchased every of the youngsters one (Noah likes darkish chocolate whereas Eli likes milk chocolate–and World Market had each.) The children have been excited. Now that I consider it, I do not know if I ever unwrapped a chocolate orange with Luke and Riley. I really feel like Riley would *love* this.
Jerry stopped on the retailer and when he acquired residence, he observed that the one that bagged his groceries put two 16-oz containers of contemporary blueberries in there accidentally (they will need to have belonged to the particular person behind him). He known as the shop to allow them to know what occurred (as a result of absolutely somebody would discover their blueberries have been lacking); however then we had a lot of free blueberries. I ate them ALL. I really like blueberries, however they’re so expensive–I purchase frozen ones to eat on my cereal each morning.
I occurred to note that Chick had legs and arms protruding of this mattress throughout and he simply seemed humorous whereas he slept. Once I grabbed my cellphone to take an image, I held it as much as take this image once I observed that Chick’s eye was open and he was watching me! It scared the bejeezus out of me as a result of I would been taking an image of my candy “sleeping” cat.
My favourite snack these days has been something with cinnamon sugar on it, just about. I do a much bigger ratio of cinnamon to sugar than most, however I most likely make up for it in quantity 😉
And at last, here’s a (sad-looking) photograph of Joey that Jeanie despatched me yesterday. She mentioned that Joey *loves* the campfire and he noticed her on the market beginning a fireplace, so he got here out to lie down. She wasn’t even actually beginning the fire–just burning just a few items of trash–but Joey was excited to lie subsequent to it. (It isn’t practically as scorching because it appears to be like within the picture–I feel the temp is simply within the 70’s proper now. It isn’t going to be a highly regarded journey, which is sweet.)
I miss Joey much more than I assumed I’d–we get to see him quickly!
And that is all I’ve acquired. Have a fantastic weekend! xo
