Tuesday, Things I need to do!


 I always made wildflower crowns for my girls and nieces when we camped.  We called them Fairy crowns.  Kelsa loved hers. She is a girly girl. 

I have a list of things that I need to get done before I leave. 

1. need to get nails done

2. need to spray yard

3. need to pay the rest of non on line bills

4. Finish up one wedding dress and do another

5. finish Indian regalia

So not a bad list.  I don't have a car right now as Sissie's is in the shop, and she has mine. I am not one to go many places, so it makes sense that she has my car.  If I need something I call her, and she gets what I need. Or takes me where I need to go. Eventually after I pay all my bills and plans, I will buy an old beater truck.  We desperately need a truck in this family. Between us three girls we always need a truck for yard waste and projects. I have a lot of land to park things on, and we can park it here.  It will be a second vehicle if needed. But I don't believe I will be able to do that until next year. It is a future plan.

I finished a wedding dress yesterday.  Sewed almost all day it was mostly hand work.  Bride will be here this evening for finishing touches. I will start another wedding dress today, bride talked to me yesterday and I told her it would be out by Thursday.  It is nice to have less pressure this year.  I miss the money, but the peace of mind is priceless. It will just take me longer to get my goals made. I am not patient, and boy am I learning patience.

I called my church brethren to help with the snake fence.  They are putting together a team to come and help. But having a little problem with the word snake... I told them to wear long heavy pants, and boots.  I will be out with them but can't do this alone.  My hands don't have the strength needed to fix fencing over and over. Also, my neighbor who has Parkinson's boarders my land and my driveway. She cannot fix her fence, and I will get them to do it. It affects my property. Kay and I do a lot for this neighbor so she can stay in her home. This is just part of it.

I will call for a nail appointment after this post and get my mail bills ready to send off.  Then start on the last June wedding dress.  If I can get it done, I can spray later today. Oh, my plans! now to stick to them.

I love to plan; God loves to laugh. I love to waste time. 

Making beef and broccoli for dinner need Oyster sauce so will call Sissie.

What are you plans for today? Have you got the monthly bills paid?

Have a great and productive day

God is good

  1. What a sweet girly girl with her fairy crown!
    So glad your church will help with the snake fence.
    We always used to have a truck, but now we have a trailer that hooks up to the jeep. I don't really like pulling it, but it comes in handy.
    Glad you aren't under as much stress with the sewing, but I'm sorry that your savings goals will take a little longer.
    Hope you have a good week.

    1. I have a long car trailer but nothing to pull it with. I let my son in law keep it at his property, it is used by the church and the police and the sheriff's dept. Farmers use it to haul hay. So, I just keep it as a public service.

  3. Are those shoes Kayla's patent leather camping shoes? Cute!
    It is evening here, and we did not get all plans finished. We will do those tomorrow. We were going to take 10 garbage bags of soup/tuna type cans to recycler we just found. Tommy said most of the cans were tuna or green bean cans. We eat mostly salads and fresh food. We found a guy from Mississippi selling produce and bought three tomatoes...practical parsimony.

  5. Practical Parsimony here again. Tommy had a tray with all things I needed for slaw, so I had to stop typing. Now, there is slaw to go with green beans and chicken. We meant to go and look at things for our new bathroom since we are converting a bedroom to a bathroom and then remodeling the present bath. We did not get around to that either. Pooh! But we will.
    Maybe you can raise prices again to make more money...lol.
    I have no idea what a snake fence is!

    2. It is a wire fence, dug into the ground and then rolled back to keep snakes out where there is a chain link or a split rail fence.

  6. Hubby use to have a truck, and it was sooo handy. He ended up going with an SUV and added a trailer. It was much cheaper to purchase and insurance than a truck.

    Your grand looks super cute with her fairy flowers.
