Hands On Her Pants

Mom recently got a Kindle, and now all she does is read, read, read! But, one day, she decided to make a cover for her Kindle. She first went to a thrift shop to buy a book that hopefully would be the right size. It cost her 50 cents! She then took an old pair of jeans, ( that grew to big for her), cut a piece out that would fit the outside of the book. Oh yeah, she actually cut out the inside of the book! (I sure wish she had given me the papers, what fun that would have been to play with)! She attached the material to the book with fusing tape. She then cut another piece of the material, to fit in the inside of the cover, again using fusing tape and the iron. You can see that she put some little elastic pieces on the right side, to hold the Kindle. Last of all, she hot glued those pockets on. The outside pocket will hold her cord and the little light she has. Now I want you to know, Mom did not come up with this idea all by herself! She saw it on Pinterest! But, she did of course design this one. The one she saw was not made out of old jeans! The reason she even decided to make this cover is because, SHE IS TO DANG CHEAP TO SPEND $40.00 ON A READY MADE ONE! 50 cents vs $40.00, way to go Mom! Now buy me some yummy treats with all that money you saved! (and maybe a denim purse)?

Morning Coffee

Here I am having coffee outside with Dad early one morning. It is a little cool out, so Dad is wearing a jacket. I am staying warm by snuggling up close to him!

Memory Monday #4

This photo was taken in 1971 I believe. Sherri and I went on a road trip to Brunswick, Maine, with my Mom and Dad. My sister lived there with her husband, and two children. On the right, is my sister's daughter, Julia. I remember having quite a fun time there. We never got to know Julia real well, since we lived so far away. Julia went to be with the angels, after being in a car accident, in 1975 at just four yrs old. My girls used to send helium balloons up to Heaven for her. My sister made sure my girls knew a lot about Julia through the year. So, my daughters decided, who ever had the first girl, she would be named Julia. Hence, my granddaughter, Julia! My maternal grandmother's name, was also Julia. You have always been in my heart little Julie!

Where's The Beef?

Y'all remember the cow I got for Christmas dontcha? HEHEHE, Sure don't look like no cow now! But guess what? Mom fixed it like new!

Enjoying the beef, Miss Mindy

Mom Loves To Repurpous Things For Me

See the new bed I have in my crate? It use to be a twin bed comforter! Mom made me two bed pillows out of that comforter. It is nice and comfy, and I don't even care that it is not pink! Thanks Mom!

Off to dreamland, Miss Mindy

Just Look At This Sad Face

I am still sad about not getting shot by Cupids arrow!

Maybe some extra treats are in order? Bring em on!!

Waiting For Cupids Arrow

OK, so I waited and waited, all Valentines Day, to be shot by cupids arrow!
I looked all around for that little bugger, but not a sign of him.
Hm mm......after I got all prettied up for nothing! Guess no boyfriend this year. Mom said I was really to young to have a boyfriend yet. WHATEVER!

Memory Monday #3

This is Clinton and I waiting to take the plunge for salvation! He was 7 yrs old and wanted to make the commitment to Christ with me. He later strayed a bit, but loving returned to Our Lord after many big upheavals in his life. I am so proud of him, and have enjoyed many discussions of scripture with him since his return. He and I really know that prayer DOES work!

OK so I hear I have the "captcha" when people want to post comments. I did not know that! I have tried different things, and don't know how to get rid of it! Can anyone help me?

Handmade Cold Pack

This is Julia, my Mom's granddaughter. She is almost 12 years old. I think she is very pretty, very smart, and very creative! I can't wait to meet her this summer!

This is a picture of a cold pack, Julia, made for a Christmas present! Julia just learned how to sew this year in school, and now has her very own sewing machine! It has corn sewn inside of it. It could also be used for a hot pack, but you have to decide right away, cause it can't be used for both. Julia made a whole bunch of these to give her family members. I think she did an excellent job on this!

Mom made a cover for it, so the icy cold would not be touching her skin. She just happened to have this pretty pink fleece left over from my new cape.
Lovies, Miss Mindy (auntie to the lovely Julia!)
