My dad's sto watch made into a necklace

I love stop watches, but I don't have pockets, so made a necklace out of some lace. I love my necklace.
I put in 2 little pictures. One of my mom and I and one of me on the bike. It is so special because it represents my connections to me parents.

Here it is finished!


Treasures from our Garden

My Cati fully recovered and getting huge! YEA!!!
My dad's rose. When we got back from Michigan it only had one brown leaf on it and nothing else. Now it looks so alive. It's a climbing rose can't wait to see what happens next year

The first passion flower to survive after the infestation of Japanese beetles. It's she beautiful!



Our tomatoes! First time ever, we tried it for 3 years before we got them. These are the tastiest tomaders we have ever tasted. Thank to Jodi, Gus' best friends mom! Thank Jodi!


I love gadgets . . .

At my favorite store Habitant for Humanity I got these GREAT finds: The bigger one is a espresso maker and the smaller one is a steamer. It was $2.00 for the espresso maker and .75 for the steamer.


Autumne brought all of us some latta's.


Here is my Mate Latta! It was so delicious! YUM YUM YUM!!!!

Broken Washer Fixing? we HOPE



A few things we need to start with.



Jerry and I work as a team. I tried it myself and it broke in several places, so we tried it again.

I am looking to see what and how it goes into the right place. "Oh! Hon! unplug the dryer! ", " Sure I say! " I got electrocuted, it was so hard, my hand felt so weird and tingly. I felt strange too. Jerry then went out and turned off the electricity and I didn't get the major shock again!



After, we found out it was easy. And our washer was fixed. I caught up on all the laundry. 10 loads and when I finished the last one it motor started acting up. It smelt burnt too. Now it won't empty the water. Time for a new washer. Jerry and Autumne think because we can't afford a good washer we should get a hand crank one. I am not sure about this. Though I know getting to a laundry mat without a car for 6 people. Oh! I can't even think about that! It will take a hole hell of a lot long to do our laundry, but we would have something to clean our clothes in. What to do !what to do! If you have a comment on this I'd love to hear it!








Super hero Jazzy Scott super power arm warmers



Jazzy loves his favorite shirt, but the sleeves were getting to small and too warm for this time of year, so I made him a muscle shirt and then he wanted super power arm warmers out of the sleeves.


My super hero powered kids!







Made my Buddha a pillow ., . . I think

I had a shower curtain and was already taking apart my papasum for the stuffing inside, so I used it to make a bed for Buddha.
Since Joy came apart of our family she has taken over Buddha's spots he lays on. So I wanted him to have his own spot. Silly me!


Guess who couldn't wait to lay and take a snooze on Buddha's bed.



Another one takes a snooze on the bed made to make Buddha feel like he had a special place.



And the boy thought if it's good enough for them. it's good enough for me! My sweet Jazzy!
I guess after all it's a bed for them all!

Joy and Gus

Gus and Joy




Gus and Joy! Joy is not being straggled, Which is just like Joy "Never judge a book by it's cover" She acts very Alpha or a type A personality. Until a dog comes up to her than she is terrified! Goofy dog!

A day in the life of ZZ


The girls give ZZ some TLC. Can you tell he's loving this!


Mr, ZZ loves those ears pet! And everyone says he's so difficult! Now looking at Innocent little ZZ does he look like he's ever been difficult!

Snuggle bunnies!

I reach a goal from my Bucket List


Can you find my birds? This is their favorite tree. Every morning they come out and squawk and squawk and walk up and down my garage roof.

Here she is up in her favorite tree..






I love Ravens and Crows. One of my dreams was to feed them at my home. It didn't take long at all. I put it out late at night and they come early in the morning, 4 of them, come looking or should I say squashin and a looking! I love them and having them come to be feed makes my day! My dogs think I may leave some so 2 seconds after I take out the food they want to see if they can get some dropping of food!

Breakfast Time at the Thomas's House

It starts with Joy watching our every move. Buddha just lays on the floor and patiently waits. Joy is positive if she stand next to Autumne she'll find what Autumne has lost!

As usually Jerry always getting the last serving to eat.

Jazzy loves to eat! Eats always, with a smile on his sweet little face.

Gus always approaches his food like this! We have to tell Gus all the time It's FOOD it will not hurt you! But it still approaches it with caution!

Autumne has made her breakfast, A look of a satisfied cook!
