Tackle it Tuesday

A big part of
My tackle is over here at A Place to Create

Pot scrubbers for the next few months

Prioitizing my Place to Create

Good Evening
Well here it is 8:30 in the evening and I think I will stop for a while

This job of unpacking and sorting the last of the misc items
has been a thorn in my floor
:)
Today it was time for what I wanted
that was a clear floor!

Here in my rocker a collection of sewing jobs and stuff...
It got piled up over the winter
and this spring with all the ideas yet to be created
it is the dead of summer
time to sew
:)

I ran out of the pot scrubbers I made two dozen months back
time to get a big batch together.
I use these for dishes and then retire the used ones to the pet dishes

Fun minding a blanket when it is in excess of 110*
I really want my rocker back

This is a little thing I have wanted to do.
The handles of the table top messed up my design
I still like it.

I put my favorite print back up.
THE YOUNG GIRL READING
I have always just loved that painting

It is back!

Many jobs ahead and several posts for
"the Place To Create Blog"

As I was looking at this...I have an idea of switching the cookbooks with the pink boxes.
the boxes would be easier to get into .
They hold many parts and items used in arts and crafts and sewing.
I could turn that wall unit into the center for the things I need to keep
This place running

Steve and I can sit together and review the goal/mission/budget now.
He can be comfortable and visit with me while I cook.
I am looking forward to some things to reduce the clutter of the shelves or at least disguise it.

A blouse cut out
for me...


I have to get some ink and I will have my copier/printer back.

Jobs in the Que

This has already improved.
Lots of mending and creating and organizing.
The fabrics were consolidated
I'll have to do a post.

It has just been so long that it has been put off.
Tired lady tonight sorta soft spoken.
Be blessed

Dreams do come true...

I mentioned to my Steve that there was an email returned to me by a fellow who had a few block out in front of his house to grab if we wanted for free. Again Craigs list.
So we took a quick trip this afternoon to grab them.
NOW THE PERFECT
count for our needs HA!

As I was doing mending and cooking I noticed he was hauling them to the back yard.

He spent some time digging a level foundation
The 7x7 were perfect for the foot print of the base of the tank
He used a level and pick ax to set base.

He is giving me is gift of hard labor and sweat
The heat he was working in frightened me a bit
116*
I took him lots of water
When I returned from kneading the bread and cleaning up supper he and I lifted the tank onto the foundation stones using the old Egyptian method

We think that the head pressure ought to do us well here.
We are now to get it all hooked up before the monsoons hit.
Our water bill this month was $107.!
So this is a thrill to us both

Now regarding those gates that Had envisioned.
Steve remembered me showing him the same gates last year when we were gating off the main garden. Very $$$$$$$$$ at least 40. a section and extra 10.? a rod and then the stakes that set them in the earth...
all I have need of HIS hand has provided.
Just two parts missing and they will need to be replace.

look at that fit!
kids that is perfect~
See Gods measure is accurate
Even His measure of us and our trial

I'll put a trellis in behind the tank it will block off that opening.
Our water box taken in to consideration made the placement determination.
This man worked so hard today
over and above~

This is the garden extension
Dash thought it ought be a dog run....
I don't think so....
The grass needs be killed to the wall
I got a good start on that now I will need to come up with some more black trash bags to kill the rest of it to the wall
the major bed will be a large "L" shape
This will be the arbor set upright
Perhaps just inside the gate.
Though looking at it I do have a choice.
Thank you folks for the gift
Steve's Parents gave this to us it was in the yard of the house they have.
Once again to grow life on.
The water tank must have some vines growing on it soon.
To keep the water cooler
It could get very hot with this sun on it.


My sweet sweet man.

YOU GAVE ME THE
MOON!

I love the fencing and the tank and the promise
A good focus to dream of the future
Goal, mission, competency
Oh I am so blessed.
I can see the crops in my eyes closed
crops green and thriving.

But for now my turn to shower
I let him go first
:)

gotta get the bread in the oven

Fencing supplied !!!!!!!!!!!!

This is just what I dreamed of!

Enough for the width
Just need a gate now.

Craigs list all of it for
$20.!
including the spikes and the end poles!

Steve measured the block and the boarder will have enough for two width deep all along the wall in an "L" formation. This an alteration to the original plan to avoid extra grass care.

Well there was a wonderful luncheon where I was a guest of my Sister,
felt strange not to bring anything.

It was nice to be around the common love of all things sewing again.
I spoke with my husband I will be saving up for membership dues.
It is time to take time to be with my sister and to be with those who sew.

Daddy man grabbed gloves and we were off for a long trip
We were the first to respond to the free section on crags list.
I have diligently been watching it.

We were just barly able to close the tail gate and the topper was tied down so to speak with some scrap metal tubing in a pile

This is a horse property
These folks are closing down this home because her husband has been transferred
He is in the secret service.
Her and I spoke of 911 and I told her to tell her husband thank you for the sacrifices he is making. Then I gave her what I saw to give.
The aventurine (looks like a butter scotch candy) and jade set of earrings/necklace/bracelet.
I boxed it before I left.
She was of autumn coloring it was perfect for her!
She said she would remember me when she wore it.

It was a very good gift exchange of the soul.

We drove home
Pulled into the drive I ran in and put a dress on and jewelry and ran out the door.
I arrived at the ASG meeting only 5 minutes late.
Post to follow

The topper almost closed and we were able to fit all of them.

I came home to find that Steve had washed the truck and had unloaded.
We made count and looked up the cost of such and it was $170. plus tax and it was gifted to me by a stranger

Optimism another word for knowing who loves you and remembering who owns the planet.

Hi all

I am not real talkie today...
My heart is weighed down by another electric thunderstorm within my head, bad behaivor and very frustrated with my self.

I think I am discovery that not enough sleep/caffeen before the medications/ and stress will set off the migraine. No pain but it is very well...like a storm in my head. It hurts likde a shocking in the dome and the firering just stops my functional abilities. I get real irritable and grumpy and there is nothing left to process the moment . I gert very angry and act like a mean old bear of a woman.
I am really very sad over it.

I hate acting like a mean old bear.

anyway I found some block for free but it is a real drive and I have a ASG arizona sewing guild meeting at 10 a.m. I may rejoin now that my sister has returned then we would have at least one day a month contace and a common thread.

ARG! I just really want to nest. My days have pulled me away to often this last few weeks. I just want to get some time consuming things done here.
I am real sad about Shory Bear...makes me think about some friends who have gone on before. I just really want to see health come by her way and overtake her. I am grieving the trials of many whom I love I guess
Trying hard to do the best as a Mom wife and homemaker I can and getting worn around the edges as I see how I have let myself down in the parenting aspect. The efforts are better focused however and that is good.

My garden is tired too
It is so sad to me to see it wither up in the heat and pass into the stages of dormancy. It appears the melons were a flop. I know that I have had a lot of foods come from there. It just hurts to see this seasons work for little . I hope to do the extentions. Finding the materials will hel[

Please pray

My Friends those who Love Him.
He loves a woman called Dee .
Dee will be beginning chemo on Monday.
Perhaps her last option.
Please open your hands and lift them up on her behalf..


Dee is loved by our Dear Annette
Annette hurts so deeply in her love/friendship of Dee.
Please lift your voice also on Annette's behalf that she might find comfort at this time.
Thank you

Thankful Thrusday All I have need of...

Family packaging of meats often call for
Repackaging into smaller quantities...
Meat is one of our most expensive aspects of the grocery list.

By buying the family packed meat your purchasing a large quantity that is not often easily use up in one use. The use of the purchasing power is accented by freezing it for a later use.

Here the lead in add was buy one get two free
It was a Fourth of July deal.
That is a good time to get steak on sale.
Buy the most expensive one you can afford and then get the next two at the highest price to get the "of same or lesser value deal"

After they are frozen I wrap each one as a single and then place them all in a freezer bag.
I am able to then just pull out what is required for one meal.
This is my process of storage.
Notice that the package is only opened at on end, leaving the bag in tact the mess is greatly minimized.

the only mess a small spot over to the left to be bleach sanitized and I was done.

I had received the meat as a gift from the store manager.
I had cut my hand on a cart he secretly surprised me with the meat...
FREE!!!!!!

On to the next delightful task...
Melon for lunch today
yum
all I have need of...

Free Steak

Good Morning!

I was just kneading the bread and thought of the shopping of yesterday morning...
I thought of the add for the buy one get two free steaks.

Yesterday I cut my had on a grocery cart so took said cart to the cashier to tell them to get it out of circulation. It had a bad weld on it. It needed to get filed down.
The Manager concerned gave me a band aide and I had some neosporin (anti biotic ointment ) spray in my purse. He asked me if I wanted to file an incident report and I declined saying "well that's just for if my hand falls off" and smiled...
The grocery trip was a real relaxed teaching time with the kids and so at the end I asked if the manager would honor a lead in that was empty on the shelf with another brand...joking to make up for the injury...

the add was buy one get three free...

He returned and told the cashier to take off the hot dogs and charge the price of one.
Folks he gave me $12.
the ones he gave me were higher quality

$12. free of dogs...

Well He had said something softly to her and I was a bit distracted by the children and so finished my order. The cashier said that the add was not for the all beef type that he had gifted me with. So I made point to thank him...
Once again I thanked him on our exit and told him with service like that I'll just have to keep coming back and doing my shopping there.
He laughed said he had 5 kids and understood.

I just looked at the receipt...
he gave me $60 worth of steak for free!!!!!!!!

It was a buy one get two free...
So I had made a point to teach the kids to choose the most expensive one and then get the other two as high priced as possible to get them free....

That thing he whispered...
Not to charge me for the steaks!
