Good Monday Morning,  beautiful one at that,  the sun is shining, Chick-a-dee saying a good morning to me, all is good back home.   Had a wonderful visit yesterday afternoon with Mom and Sister, they stayed for a  supper of grilled chicken breast, mashed potatos and corn on the cob, yum yum,  then we made our way to the bingo hall.  Well, I won a game, yipee, was worth $90.00, and my Sister also won a pot worth $85.00, but poor Mom just sweated lots, no win, but she did enjoy herself, we seem to have fun wherever we go.     I also am  still  tweaking in the kitchen after putting up the cupboard, decided to put my mashers together and hang them up on the same wall beside the wood trencher.  Thats my newest wood masher I bought on my trip on the right, love the handle on it.  So for now thats how it will be,I seem to always decide I don`t like it after awhile but liking the change so far.      We are off to the lake in abit, will spend my last week of holidays there,   missed sitting by my crackling fire, so can`t wait to get there,  have a new book to read, will hook a  pumpkin mat and just relax and enjoy the great outdoors.    Will be home Wednsday to water the plants and get the mail so will say hello to you then.   Enjoy the day, Blessings Francine.

Happy Sunday Primfolk, hope all is well with you fine gals this morning.   It is so nice to be back home,  sleep in my own bed, ahhhh, but I do taking little road trips to.  Enjoyed my coffee this morning on the swing outside in the sunshine, the days here have been so beautiful, day low 20`s,  nights low teens,  great for sleeping with the windows wide open, Fall is creeping in,yey!!!!,   the days are surely getting shorter, dark around 9:00 now.    Spent yesterday putting our things in order after our trip,  should be doing laundry,  yardwork but what do I do,  I start redecorating the kitchen, oh no!!!       I have had this cupboard my Brother made me for years now, I used to have it in the upstairs  bathroom but bought another cupboard  to hang in there,   so just had this one hanging around,  wasn`t to sure where to hang it.    Well, thought I needed a change on the kitchen wall, so that is where I decided to hang the cupboard.     Like it, now what to put in it,   oh boy,   tried a few different things, nope,  didn`t like them.   Had to take a coffee break and think a little harder,   it worked,   came up with putting in the Ball jars that I collected over time,   well, I liked  the look.   So, today I`m  doing laundry, yardwork, things I put off yesterday,  oh well, like my tweaked up kitchen now.       My Mom and Sister are coming over this afternoon  and we are going to play bingo this evening  at the Eagles Club where Cam calls bingo,  Mom wanted to try her luck,  so who are we to say no to Mom, tee hee.    Hope one of us will win a pot or two, well, can`t blame a girl for dreaming can you.     Wishing you all a wonderful day,  enjoy, Prim Blessings Francine.
