When Things Go Boom!

This morning I was listening to music, and cleaning the glass top tables in the living room. Yeah, because I like to stay busy, since I can't sit around and eat all day. Did I mention that I was on a diet?

Well, while I was staying busy.. I heard a terrible crash! Now, I don't have any animals or room mates so the first thing I thought of was some old fart from here at the compound crazy person was crawling through one of my windows. It had to be the kitchen or the bathroom, everything else is carpeted.

I look in the kitchen....nothing and no one....I run to the bathroom, and this is what I saw.....


Remember my cast iron scale that measures in stones? I had a picture on the window sill and I forgot to raise the blinds, and the breeze knocked this picture of my granddaughter off.




I loved this picture. She was only two months old, and was visiting from Anchorage Alaska. She loved the water...still does! It's been in my bathroom for 15 years.




I'll reframe it and be thankful the snapshot didn't get damaged. Just don't tell her, it's one of her favorites too.

VINTAGE THINGIE THURSDAY

I was visiting the sistas and they are participating in this "share something old" meme, mimi or yo mama.

So I decided to head on over to Confessions of an Apron Queen and add my name to the list and show something old. No, it's not a body part, but that could work in a pinch.

Since Thursday is almost over, I had to rush...but that doesn't mean I don't have a real gem for you! It's a very very old cast iron scale that weighs in Stones. Here's what it says about stones v. pounds. Like I can really figure that out? I gave up on metric a long time ago, lets not get into stones, rocks, and boulders.


I found this in an antique shop in Julian CA back in 1983. I paid a good price, but I still love it,even though it weighs a ton.

Don't forget to check in tomorrow, afternoon. I have some medical stuff to tell you about a very special family member.
