Fun With Fruit And Veggies

My Facebook friend, Gail Davis, shared these this week.  

Mystery Doll?? Clothes

This post is mostly to get help from Kris (and maybe Mike, who seems to remember stuff that I don't) to identify these garments that were in a bag in our basement.  Some seem to be clothes for dolls, but some also look like they were made for real babies (like underpants for some of the dresses have plastic lining).

Any clues about these items will be appreciated.

My Hangout

After spending a couple of days sorting through stuff in our basement (and finding more than a few interesting things we had forgotten that we had) the space down there is much more open and   homey.  This is a picture of Command Central.

Here are before and after pictures showing Kris and Mark's new roof.

Big Pine Cabin Weekend

Sue and I spent the past weekend with Mike, Kim, Kris and Mark (and Wickett) at this cabin near Logan, Ohio.  It's a little more than a 3 hour drive from our house in Kent.


The young people did all the meals and everyone enjoyed the peaceful surroundings.  We watched The Olympics, played guitar music, played games, went in the hot tub and just generally relaxed.


I couldn't believe how fast the time passed.  Sue and I stayed over until Monday, so everyone could stay a little longer on Sunday.

Some Things From My Mom's House

On Saturday, Sue and I went to Malvern.  My brother Jim has done a great job of finding good homes for most of the furniture and other stuff from my Mom's house.  We had a few items that we wanted to bring home and as often happens, we brought back a bit more than we had planned on.  It's good to have some things that will remind us of Mom.  On our way out of town, we stopped at the St. Francis Xavier cemetery and visited Mom's grave and then drove by the house.

We bought this folding table for Mom and she used it to keep things handy next to her favorite chair while she watched TV.

This is one of several rocking chairs.  I believe this one was in her bedroom.

Here is one of the school desks from the original Malvern School.  The building was long ago torn down, but this is where both Jim and I started our academic careers.

An assortment of china and glass items.

Some sand dollars that Mom collected on a Florida trip that she took with some of her "girlfriends".

If anyone is interested in a full-sized church pew from St. Francis Xavier, contact my brother.


On a completely different subject, Sue and I saw a couple of hot air balloons while we we out running some errands.  She wondered if they might follow us home.  Well, they did.
