Sloppy Joes For A Crowd Or OAMC Recipe - Food.com - 262648

Looks good for a Saturday lunch menu!

Heaps of books.

I have been going through boxes and boxes and more boxes of  books, and pulling out some to take to trade in at the used book store, some for the yard sale and still way too many that I think I want to keep.  I sold a couple of boxes tonight on Ebay, but that doesn't make a dent in what I have.  This is truly my addiction.  I could never read all of them, even at a book a day and reading till I hit 100 years old.  I will keep most of the resource material, but the fiction needs draconian measures.  Too bad I am such a pussycat.  Meow.

Mowed down the cherry trees.

I had posted them on freecycle and had a couple of takers, but just mowed down the rest of them.  Baby trees, murdered.  I managed to get almost the whole yard mowed, and just in time, because I am planning on going to Mom's for most of the week.  Leaving Monday morn and coming back on Thursday.  I am sure it will all need mowing again, with all the rain we have had.  Photographed a bunch of clothes today and will get them cropped and uploaded tonight, so I can list away tomorrow.  I had a bunch of little ants in the house this past week, so finally went and got some Terro traps and bait.  Can't hardly find an ant right now.  I am sure the water drove them inside.  I get spiders all the time, but rarely ants in the house.  They are a problem in the shed though.

Still Raining

and I am ohhhhh so tired of it!

Amen.

Catnip

I have to separate Mica and Jean-Claude when I bring in the catnip because my greedy little boy eats, inhales it.  Then he goes after hers.  She has to chew the leaf all around the edges, tasting it thoroughly before she actually swallows it, and he will steal it right out of her mouth.  I only find one plant growing right now, hidden amid the lemon balm.  They look quite abit alike, so I am hoping there is more out there.  The irises are blooming, and getting ready to get beat up tonight in the storm that's coming.  Maybe I should go cut some down.

Vintage clothing and ETSY

I finally made the move to ETSY with my Vintage clothing.  I will put them up at auction on EBAY once, and if they don't go I am moving them to ETSY and raising the price.  It costs .20 for a 3 month listing.  Now to wait and see how much traffic I can generate.  They are already getting more hits than they did on Ebay.  There should be a gallery at the bottom of the page on the left that shows some of my listings.  If I did it right!

Home again.

Just got home last night from Springfield, Mo.  Looked at some more houses and talked about the Reunion in June.  Had Jeff and Vicki over for dinner and pinochle one night and Denise and James over the next night for dinner and dummy rummy!  My cats continue to stalk Mom's Honey, and she finally started to defend her space.  Not that it made any difference.  Sorted through another bunch of bins of clothes and I had young Matthew's wife Angie model some clothes that I was putting up on EBAY.  She made everything look good!
There is so much that needs to be done here at my house to get it ready to put on the market and I have been procrastinating, blaming it on the winter.  Time to get in gear, here.
