Conspiracy

Plotting world domination.

Delightedly

Thinking about my mom, as today would have been her birthday.  I love that smile on her face.  This was taken during the years I was her full-time caregiver.  Caregiving can be hard.  Caregiving can be stressful.  Caregiving can be depressing.  But it can also be rewarding.  I took satisfaction in knowing that she was well-cared for, even when she drove me crazy.  I love and miss her.

Cookery

A mini camp stove, another item we found while cleaning out the house.

Doily

I enjoy handmade lacy antique doilies.  This one, however, does not fall into that category.

This is a vintage plastic doily; one of many, many plastic doilies we came across while cleaning out a house recently.  Every one I found went right in the dumpster, but this insidious one snuck under the dumpster and escaped being hauled away.  It has sat in the driveway ever since.  Mocking me.

Apparently,  no one else likes them either, because it hasn't been snatched up yet.

Stay warm, my friends.
