Let Them Eat Cake

I got a new issue of Taste of Home magazine the other day, and gave it to the Old Man to read. After reading the magazine thoroughly, he handed it to me. He had torn a few strips of paper and had them in the magazine to mark some pages he wanted me to read.  One of the recipes he marked was lemon blueberry cake.  He said "I'm going to make you a baker. " That is a pretty tall order, coming from a man who did a lot of baking.  He said "It's like any other recipe - you just follow the directions."  Right.

Stay tuned. 

Still No Anxiety

 The weatherazzi is still calling for a lot of rain and some severe storms tomorrow for Thunder Over Louisville.  But once again, since I am not going, I have no anxiety.  I did my weekend grocery shopping today so I won't be getting out in the rain tomorrow.  I do feel sorry for the hundreds of thousands of people that are planning to go.  

No Anxiety

 The big Thunder Over Louisville air show and fireworks is this Saturday. I have no anxiety about it whatsoever, because once again, I am not going. I will admit I enjoyed it the first few times I went with some friends, but even then I would be nerved up the week before - what to take, and more worrisome, where to park.  It was cool to not only see the fireworks but to be able to feel when they would boom.  But the traffic getting home was just too much to handle. Everyone that is planning on going should be nerved up about it right now - they are calling for severe storms Saturday evening.  They've only cancelled it twice - the first time in 2020 when Covid was rampant, and then last year due to flooding.  But I'm not nerved up at all. 

Monday, Monday

 It was a bittersweet morning as I packed up my paint brushes, paints and bottle caps and put them away until the fall.  I can't begin to say how much I enjoy painting and crafting.  It is so therapeutic to do, plus I can do it at the kitchen table while six feet away from the Old Man in his recliner if he needs me. 

Craft Bazaar Report

 It was a beatutiful spring day yesterday, but unfortunately that didn't urge the shoppers to come out.  I did sell twice what I sold at the Christmas bazaar, so I was happy with that. 

Unless I can find any summer bazaars, I will hang up my paint brushes and store my bottle caps until the early fall. 

Almost Show Time

 The Silver Bullet is almost loaded up for the craft bazaar tomorrow.  I bought a cool lightweight folding wagon to use - the other folding wagon I had been using was heavy and cumbersome getting it in and out of the back of the van.  I also bought a cool Snoopy cross body bag to use for my keys, phone and my ones, fives and tens for my change.  Nothing to do now but wait until I go this evening to set up. 

A Busy Day

 Tomorrow evening I will go to the church and set up my booth for the craft bazaar.  I've been busy this morning packing up all of my bottle cap crafts into plastic bins with lids.  It will make for easy transport and easier storage.  I put together my display racks to make sure all is well and other than taking the bins and stuff out to the van, I am good to go.  Bring it on.
