Let me go back a little bit before I start... at the beginning of 2011 I started a new full time job with Heritage Cooperative in their new Seed Warehouse in Mechanicsburg. This put me driving an hour to and from work each day and an hour drive is a lot better then unemployment. Well soon after I started this drive each day gas prices was going up to $3.50 and $4.00+ an
d it was costing me more to drive my truck then I had coming in. So the decision was made to sale me truck I had for eight years and get something better on gas mileage. This lead to me getting a VW Bug, because if I have to drive a car it better be a cute one, lol. As you can image that has been a big change and adjustment in my life... but I am making do. It shocks me sometime the things I can get in there, bags of seed, a lawn mower, straw. Yep this weekend I moved bails of straw with my little bug, just two. I needed them to take to my studio and I thought, O two bails isn't that much I can get it, well with some pushing and shoving I got it.
Well that was the start to my fun weekend ahead, I could only take one bail to the studio last weekend because I also had in the car; two tables, two pots of mums, two totes of stuff, a small water heater, a duffel bag, a cooler and a few other things... you should have seen it, it was great. But I got what I need to studio for the open house.
Speaking of the open house at the studio, it was beautiful day and that was a good bad thing. I enjoyed the day and it was good, but didn't have as many visitors as I would have liked. They was probable out and about enjoying the Indian summer. The day ended better then it started mom and dad took me to dinner for an early birthday, it was yummy.
Sunday I very much enjoyed the music at church, as always, but this time more so. A young lady in the church sang one of my favorite new songs "Blessings". It always touches me so and many times makes me cry and miss the ones I have lost, but thankful they are in Heaven rejoicing and watching over us. After church I enjoyed an afternoon of fall outdoor portraits with some of my favorite girls. My cousin Ian's girls and their mom, it was a happy/sad time, it made me miss Ian but I enjoyed the time and they are precious reminders of him.
After a good weekend of course I couldn't get a good Monday... I left work with a bad headache, so went home and laid down only to be woke up by a salesman at my door, rrrr. I was up so decided I should make some dinner and do some laundry. After eating went to go take the laundry out of the washer and put it in the dry. Only to walk in the back room and find the floor covered in water. Yep something broke on my washer and the water was running none stop. Got the main water turned off and fished out my clothes then walked away and went to bed in hopes for a better day the next day.
The next day and rest to follow was better and not bad... except I did learn there is a lime
and a key lime, haha. I just thought Key Lime was a name for a dessert, no it is a kind of lime. I was asked to make sugar cookies with Key Lime icing. So I found a recipe, went to the store and bought limes and lime juice for the first time and went home to make them. I brought one to the person wanting them to try and she asked "did you use lime or key lime?". Well I didn't know there was a difference and didn't see an option to buy anything else. After some Google searching I learned the difference... O well, I now have some lime cookies if you would like them. Also did some WV football cookies and they came out really cute!
At this time I am looking forward to another weekend of fall actives, fun and picture taking... O and my Birthday, that I am getting a new (used) washer for, yay!
