Lost my post...

Here I am after a long ride home..traffic was bumper to bumper and I didn't get home until 7..Aunt and cousin came to visit at 7:10 to 7:55..then it's t.v. bingo (no I didn't win the big bucks) so it's been a long day since 4:45am..supper on stove, fresh yellow beans, new potatoes..no meat..too late to cook, really to late to eat so might just save it for tomorrow night...

Best thing was the visit...cousin wants to do some 'stepping stones' so she'll drop in on Friday (hoping I'm off Friday) Aunt Muriel is getting older..boy can she talk..if you say 2 words she's off on something that happened 40 years ago..she can tell you everybodies birthdays/weddings/ general info since Christ was a baby..really...but I do love her..she'd give you the shirt of her back...I've learned just to nod a lot..lol...

Worse thing...well 2 I guess...BIL came in this morning to tell me he put the covers on pontoon boat and the top comes in 3 pieces, guess when he purchased the boat last year he didn't check everything was there..says he'll pick up canvas and knows I can make a new one...yep guess I can...then Aunt visited mom at the cottage and I had given her several years ago a paper tole picture with miniature lights which light the windows in the house and and some in background...well, the lights no longer work and she wants them replaced...omg...that will be quite an undertaking..then she would like the double matts changed..so another project to keep me out of mischief..I don't mind really..for those of you who do not know what paper tole is, it's taking anywhere (at least I do) from 6 to 8 of the same print..cutting different layers to create a 3d effect...i.e. the house would have walls, another dimension the windows, another dimension the roof, another dimension, snow etc. etc. each dimension is adhered with clear silicone.. quite time consuming but oh so relaxing..
I'll include photo of the piece but am sure you cannot see the dimension
but I'll show you one from front view and one from side view..not sure I'm explaining it well enough..

What did I learn...maybe I should consider giving perfume, bath oils etc. things that don't need repairs..lol..
