I did some overgrown bush pruning yesterday. Sorta looked like a very tall and leggy yellow margarite. Only 18" now. Cats were using it to hide from the birds at the feeders and then attack. You should have seen me crawling on elbows and belly under the table in my robe yesterday morning to get a squealing bird away from Fat Louie! And the bird, finch, came around and took flight when I got him back outside. Yes!!

DOREEN.... @Doreen366ML I kept looking in your current auctions...duh. I think that 'beatnik' was the perfect name for your old ash tray. The goatee and dress was before hippies, ay?! Beatnik
I love the clock! I think Roy Rogers was my first crush when I was a kid. I had his metal lunch box even tho I was a girl. : ) If we weren't trying to get EVERYTHING for ebay out of the house like you are, I would have been tempted to buy it. ( Clock )
BTW, DH and I 'are' finally making great strides to getting everything outside into storage buildings. Yaaaayyyyy......!
I hope your daughter gets to join the golf team. : )

MAXIE.... @inmax TY! Yup, that flower is sooo purty! Wish I'da grown it. 😉 Once we get the 'stuff' outa our house, and I finish with MOM's house and taxes, I'll still be busy (aren't we all?!?!) but not crazy busy like the past years. Can't wait!! : )
I put a link to the Beatnik DOREEN sold in her post for ya.
DORIS-SBIT is vacationing somewhere warm (Bermuda? I think?) with BIGFOOT. I don't know if she'll be able to come back to posting, as she says it was getting too confusing for her to follow. Perhaps when she sees that this board is as slow as the AC a while back, she'll be able to poop in once in awhile. She's such a GrandE lady!

DORI....(you like that name better'n TUTU?) @drst Remind me to tell you the tale of our stove/oven. I'm getting too tired to ramble much more today, but I must share it with yawl. Too unfunny!
Tell us about your new kitchen please. I'd love to hear what it went from and turned into!

JUDY.... @picker16judy OK, what is Swamp People?? If it's sci-fi I'm prolly game!! : )
I'm looking forward to a time when I can go to GW or Sal. Army to look for 'stuff'. I must continue to keep that under control for quite awhile tho, since we have sooo much here and more in the trailer to unpack from FONDY some day. Yikes!! Sure hard to fight the 'thrift bug'. LOL!

Time to stop for now. I love how we can click on any name and read all the past posts! It will make it so much easier to catch up when necessary. (likemenow;)
Wishing alla youse a Happy Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year, since I was not really able to post much during that time. I might as well add Happy Groundhogs Day, too! LOL! (I would have been MOM's 95th bday, but I think she's happier now where she is.;)
