Silly Daughters

Katie and Mandy helped me sort through some yard sale items last weekend. 

One of the things Bill really wants me to part with is this "fireplace". 

I bought it at an auction several years ago...I don't exactly know why. 

Probably because it was only $3.00. 

I mean, how could I resist?

 

Anyway, I'm not quite ready to part with this. I know it's been gathering dust

(and who knows what else) out in the garage ever since I bought it. 

BUT...I'm thinking it might make for some fun yard art. 

To humor me my daughters created their version of yard art with it. 

Here's Katie's Instagram photo of their "art" ~ complete with her "witty" caption!

 

My mom insists on putting this janky fireplace in the garden somewhere so Mandy
and I insisted on styling it up with other random things found in her garage. 

Bill

There he was...minding his own business, reading a book, and then in swooped the hair fairy (in this case...me). 

Charlotte and I thought it was funny...not sure what Bill thought!

But hey! A grandpa's gotta do what a grandpa's gotta do!

A Cat & Buttered Toast

I was visiting my daughter-in-law Jo's blog the other day. It's less than three weeks to Elijah's baby brother's arrival and Jo has been sharing her list of things to get done before his arrival.  She's making good progress on getting it all done.  I'm so excited to meet my newest grandchild.  : )
You know how a visit to one blog can lead to a visit to another?  Well I thought I would visit some of Jo's favorite blogs and clicked on A Scrap Away.  I was totally ready to see some cute scrap booking ideas.  Instead the first thing I read was this statement:


If toast lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens when you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?~Stephen Wright


Definitely not something I've ever pondered...in fact, I've never even heard this before.  So, I thought that it would be fun to share this new tid-bit of information on my blog....just a little something to consider!
Of course I needed to find pictures for the blog post so I searched Google images ~ first for a falling cat (up above) and then for buttered toast (down below).

When I searched for the buttered toast I also found the following photo.  Evidently this is not a new tid-bit to consider.  People have been considering this for quite some time it seems.  Some people have a lot of time on their hands!!   : )

Some people are a little short of blog material today
~ hmmm, that would be me!
