Hi everyone.
Darius, I have my fingers (and toes) crossed --- hope it's a false alarm. Glad things are coming together at your apartment anyway.

M5, nice pic of the Jingle Dancer. I'm posting one that my husband took at last year's Powwow. This year we decided to check out the bull "riding" (not much riding that we could see, more like the would-be riders landing on the ground just in front of the gate.) It was different, for sure. A few of them looked like they got stomped too and a couple were saved from being gored by their safety vests. Definitely Not a great way to make a living!

Busy weekend. We spent most of Sunday at a trade show and both ended up feeling somewhat ill -- I think it was the fast food lunch that did it. Today we were out and about trying to find some parts for my treadle sewing machine. I'm planning to turn a couple of deer hides we bought at the Powwow into a shirt or vest for one of my sisters-in-law for Christmas. Please wish me luck! I'm afraid to cut those hides since I don't know where I could get another if I screw it up. The woman we bought them from told me to buy some felt and sew that first to make sure it comes out the right shape and size, then use that as a pattern. Easy to say!

As usual, I'm not keeping up with the tomatoes which are now coming in thick and fast. I always plant way to many of them and then don't have time to deal with them all before they start to go off. We're back to the hot muggies here again too which makes the thought of canning or sauce making extra appealing. With any luck, I'll get to all that this Wednesday as my husband is still unemployed and will work at my store so I can get some things done here.

Hi Butterqueen. How did you come up with that name, if you don't mind my asking? It makes me think of popcorn for some reason.

Well, work tomorrow. Guess I'd better go take a Benedryl and try to knock myself out for the night.
