I will be back in the New Year and hopefully more often.

November

Happy Election Day!!. Still time to vote if you have not already!!

Happy September

Happy September one and all. Busy, busy is all I can say. Summer has been way too hot to work out doors and cleaning out a house and barn, but that is where our work takes us and we are not done yet. Hope everyone had a wonderful Summer so far, it's not over yet!! Hope to get back to blogging, we shall see.

Time

Time, where does it go? I cannot believe that we are in the beginnings of April, 2nd quarter of the year. WOW!! Well, no need to tell you that I have not blogged for the entire first quarter, that's very plain to see. I guess I just was not into blogging, and I am sorry to say that I did not read very many either. I use my tablet a lot and I cannot read blogs on it. Soooo, it was something that I just did not think about.

Hope everyone is fine and getting ready for the better weather, though here in Pennsylvania today it is cold and rainy, not a nice Spring day.

I hope to make a better effort in blogging and reading more of your blogs as well.

Have a great afternoon my friends.

Chillin'

Yes, that is what I have been doing. Not much of anything. Caught up on some Hallmark Christmas Movies and reading a book of short Christmas stories that I found in the dollar store. Hope everyone is also enjoying the last few days of the holiday season. Have a wonderful weekend my friends.

Happy New Year (almost)

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!

Here's hoping that 2016 will be the best for you and yours!!

Last Auction of the Year

Yep, one more auction to go then we are done for the year. Whew, what a year it has been. Learned alot, grew thicker skin on what we will take on consignment and had a BALL doing it all. Tomorrow we will setting up the fire hall with 12 different consignments (that is 12 customers that we took on). Some have only a few bits and some have LOTS!! Truck was loaded today by myself, Les (hubby) a good friend and a friend of hers and we kicked butt, lol. Wish us luck that we have a good turnout, the weather looks great which is not always a good thing, people want to be out and about this time of year. But, we will plug along. Be back next week with the highlights.

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving one and all. I am so thankful that you all are better bloggers then I, lol. Really though enjoy your day with your love ones and always remember.

"Wherever you wander, wherever you roam, be happy and healthy and glad to come home."



September ?, how did that happen

I am a tad bit early ( by hours, lol) but I found myself with a few minutes and knew I had to change my blog. I missed all of August.

Our auction business is keeping us very, very busy and we are headed into September with six auctions to do.

I do hope everyone has had a wonderful, care free Summer. I will try to post more as I do enjoy it!! Just need to find the time.

Be well my friends!!

Hello Summer

Hope everyone is enjoying their Summer, just can't figure out where the time goes!!

I'm Still Around

I can't believe the last time I posted was in March. WOW. Life happens when you would rather be doing something else, lol. Our auction business has really taken off and is keeping Les and myself super busy. Hope to post again real soon. Have a wonderful weekend. Enjoying all of your blogs!!

Hello Snow

I know you are thinking that my fingers typed in the wrong title. NOT, yes once again again friends it is snowing in Eastern Pa, BIG frown :-(. But, in Mother Nature's defense (am I really typing that), lol it is still Winter.

It will not be offically Spring until 6:45pm EST. So, until then I will deal with it and try not to look out the window. But, at the stroke of 6:45pm I am done with Winter!!!

Have a great day where ever you are. Enjoy your weekend if I don't get back here because I am outside shoveling!!

 

 



Happy St.Patrick's Day

Happy St.Patrick's Day to one and all.



It is a great day here in Eastern Pa and I took advantage of it to run errands before the wind picks up (it did already) and a blast of Winter returns tomorrow. But Spring really cannot be that far behind. Birds are singing in the morning, we had lots of Redwing Blackbirds singing this morning and Robins are all over the place. Geese flying in for a rest on the pond before taking off again at nite. The pond is still frozen enough for the geese to walk across it but it too is showing signs of melting.

Have a wonderful day friends.



Spring Forward Day

Hope everyone remember to do this. Today it is Sunny, yay!! Snow and ice are melting, woot, woot! And as much as I would like to think we are done with the Winter weather I will hold back on putting my boots away, lol. March as we all know can be a fickle month.

Looking forward to getting out and running some much needed errands this coming week. Hope everyone has a great Sunday, enjoy it the best way you can.

Wednesday, Wednesday

Hope everyone is well and if you have been in the path of the storms that you are handling it the best that one can.

I have been in such a slump and I just can't get going. I have things piling up around me and no energy to get on with it. I have goods thoughts in the middle of the nite that when I get up I won't sit too long in front of the TV and I will do this and that but, nope it does not happen. Enough already self.

One thing I do everyday without fail is fill my bird feeders. Boy it has been brutal for the birds. But I now have to take my large hopper feeder in at nite because a herd of deer (8 to 10) are destroying it. So the sucker :-) that I am, I now put out corn cobs and rice chex ceral (they love it) and carrots for the deer. It is hard for them as well. I think they appreciate it or I like to think they do!

Well not much else happening here. Oh yeah, new washer is great!!

Have a great day everyone.

Hello March

As I write this post snow once again is coming down at a pretty good rate here in Eastern Pennsylvania. I guess in like a Lion is holding true this year, let's hope the Lamb is not too far behind.

What do I like about March? Daylight Savings begins in a week, this is good for us because it gives Les a bit of freedom in driving. In the Winter he can't drive much past 3pm.

St.Patrick's Day, not Irish, but who isn't on that day, lol.

SPRING!!!!!!!!!!! Yay, woot, woot. I think everyone is ready this year.

Spring flowers, ahh I can smell them now.

And finally, Birthdays, in particular my BIRTHDAY at the end of the month. Thinking that I am going to make it a birthday month and do good things for myself all month long.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

 

Crazy Week

Hope everyone is well and staying warm if you are having the cold, cold weather that has been hanging around for way too long.

We started out having to clean up after yet another storm on Monday and boy it was a heavy snow. Thankfully we did not get the ice/freezing rain but we did get about 5 inches of heavy snow. We followed that up by having to wring out a washer full of wet clothing. Yes, after 27 years my washer has died. Les and I have been kidding with friends on fb that it could have held out for 30 years, but Nooo, lol. So yesterday and today we have been doing our homework online and looking at the big box stores. But, today we took a trip to a local Mom and Pop store to have a peek at what they had to offer. Well, I will not say they are less expensive, far from it but we are getting a Washer that is made in America (Wisconsin) with a three warranty. It will fit in the space that I have so no buying a dryer that I did not need to make the big box store washer work. It will be delivered on Friday of this week, they will haul away the old one and it comes with new hoses (again, unlike the big box store who insist you purchase them). So, what are we getting? A Speed Queen Washer. After seeing it in the store we came home measured and I called to see when we needed to come back and order it and guess what? I did it all on the phone, no running back to the store. Customer Service!!

Our work is not over yet, as we now need to get the standing water out of the old washer, this should be fun, Ha!!

Have a good evening and I will let you know how everything comes out in the wash (had to say it).

Friday Findings

It seemed to me that this week was very loooong. I an sure that the dreadful weather that many of us are experiencing had something to do with it. No plans for the weekend, just hunkering down for another snowy weekend, but I know Spring will be here soon enough. And to prove that, look closely and you can see daffodil sprouts. This was taken a little over a week ago on the South side of our home.

 

 

Mid-Week, Wednesday

Happy Wednesday Friends.

It is a very sunny day here is Eastern Pennsylvania. I did not make it out to the shop yesterday to poke around for inventory but it is on my list of things to do today. Got my workout yesterday with shoveling snow, clearing off the cars, etc. It was beautiful as well yesterday and the sun felt so good!

We are still on schedule for are appointment tomorrow with a possible auction client. It will feel good to get out and socialize a bit, have not felt like going to far from my recliner and blanket of late, lol.

Have a wonderful day!!

Fastnacht Day & Fat Tuesday

Happy Fastnacht Day & Fat Tuesday!

Well the weather has not changed, snow is very sparkley this time and right now it is 15 degrees, so I will stay put for a bit before I head outside to see what needs to be moved today.

I need to go and poke around in the inventory to see what to take into the shop this week, but we keep the heat at the minimum so the pipes don't freeze but it does make for a cold, cold building. But, it is necessary with the price of oil, we can't afford the house (IMPORTANT) and the outbuilding. Such is life :-(.

Have a good day my friends and if you can, do something fun!
