A Thrifty thought

Yes, I'm thrifty.  Many years ago I ran into a problem.  I was wrapping a gift, and did not have any tissue paper for the package.  What I did have was some gently used paper.  So out of desperation, I set my iron on medium, and started pressing.






Pretty soon all the wrinkles were all gone!

The Tool Box

When I found the white tool box on our last trip up north, I envisioned filling it with white Hydrangeas.  But when I came upon these at a deep discount, I realigned my vision!














The Hydrangeas are brown with a touch of green.  Perfect for a fallish table.


Thank a Vet

Today is Veterans Day in the US.  We honor and thank those who have fought for our freedom and served our country.

My father in law served in WW2.


I think it was hard on this young man, because he never talks about the time he spent in the military and his service during the war. But I am thankful non the less, for his service.
