Winter Capes For Me

My Mom made me some fabulous capes to wear outside on a chilly winter morning here in Florida. That sounds like an oxymoron almost, cause we had very few chilly mornings this winter! Anyway, she picked out two of my favorite colors, and patterned 

them after one of Billy's old coats. She just happened to have the pink beaded edging and purple material for the bow, in her sewing box. I really like them a lot, just feel bad I didn't get to wear them to much. Maybe next year!

Memory Monday #1

Memory Monday is going to be something new for a few months. Mom's will be showing you some OLD pics. I kinda need Mondays off, to recoup after our busy and fun weekends. See you all tomorrow.
Lovies, Miss Mindy


First of all, please excuse the quality of Monday's pics, as they are just photos taken of photos. The above photo of my family, was taken on Christmas of 1956, (I believe). From left to right, my mom, Evelyn, my sister, Darlene, me, and my dad, Allen, better known as Bud. Both my sister and I received a "Draft Dodger" doll from Santa Claus. We really liked them a lot and they were so cute in their red and white striped jammies! I may be wrong, but I believe I look a bit like my grandson Joey a little bit. We both have/ had round little faces and big eyes! I will have to ask my daughter Jennifer, if she agrees.


It's too bad that the "davenport" as it was called then, doesn't show up well. It was one of those OLD horse hair filled with something else, and not at all comfy. Oh and that ugly wallpaper! Yikes! How things have changed since then!
Have a great week my friends and see you next Monday.

A bit far away, close, closer, closest, in my outside chair!

FORWARD MARCH!
Oh, that's not how cousin Glenn will do it Mom? He marches on his feet you say?
This post is dedicated to my cousin, Mom's nephew, Sgt. Glenn Follett, who will be spending the next year in the middle east!
God Speed and stay safe Glenn! We love you!

Were You Brought Up In A Barn

This was suppose to be a dog house for me. But.........I hated it! After all, I wasn't brought up in a barn! It shoulda been a castle! Just sayin!

Mom here; we have a neighbor that builds dollhouses. Ralph asked him one day if he built any dog houses. The man said, he had this one. Take it home and try it for a few days. So we did. Well, as you read above, Miss Mindy hated it, and wouldn't go in it at all. I really didn't believe it was Miss Mindy's style, but I really liked it a lot! I did feel that even though it was built very nicely, it was way to delicate for our pup's strong little teeth! So it was returned. We also decide that Miss Mindy has no need of a dog house!

Previous Post, Rectified

So, I wasn't to worried yesterday, when Mom found that little knitting hook I chewed up. Know why? Cause I just knew she could fix it! She love that polymer clay stuff and has a bunch of it! She plays with the clay a bit, and put it around the old chewed up handle. Then she bakes it in the toaster oven for awhile.

After it is baked, she cools it off, sticks it upright in some more clay, and paints some shiny glaze on it. Voila! She is done and has a much more comfortable handle than before! She did the same thing to all her crochet hooks at one time. She says, her hands don't get so tired crocheting now with a bigger handle! Well..........here is the truth of the matter! She is just to CHEAP, to go and buy new crochet hooks, that have big handles! The 7th one from the left, tasted pretty good when I got a hold of it a month or so ago. She had to put new clay on it!! BOL. Hey Mom! You forgot to glaze that one!

Another Bad Deed

These are little tools that my Mom uses to knit on a loom. I found the top one, her favorite, next to her chair. Of course I had to check it out, and make sure it was safe for her to use!

Pretty little roses and some other plants line up the edging.

Here is a pic to show y'all what Dad has been making for me! Well, he said it was for me anyway! I'm just not sure what it is yet though. But I gotta say, it is pretty nice, ah.......I guess. Dad says it is not quite done yet, so finished photos will follow another time.
