MORTALITY:  Oli’s Morning Visit

MORTALITY: Oli’s Morning Visit

Sandra June 29, 2018 family history / garden / grandpa / i remember / kids / little things / photography / spiritual things / this and thatLeave a comment

I have come to realize that any moment can be magic. Oli is a horse-lover. She has a wonderful collection already but I cannot pass by horses like these when I find them in the thrift store . . . especially a big Clydesdale in perfect condition for only $1. …

Life is Made of the Tiniest Moments

Sandra June 26, 2018 family history / grandpa / kids / little things / photographyLeave a comment

I had not had occasion to use my camera for awhile. I plopped into the chair and put it in my lap. Off came the lens cap while I waited, listened, watched, clapped, and said “Ooooooh” Maya has a routine when she comes to play. The first thing she does …

More Than a Bowl Full of Cherries

Sandra June 25, 2018 family history / food / garden / grandpa / holidays / this and thatOne Comment

MUCH more than a bowl full of cherries this year. Our pie cherry tree was loaded and it was a race to see who would get to eat the cherries first . . . the birds or our family. You don’t have to worry about people eating these cherries right …

Grandpa’s Watercolor Book

Sandra February 26, 2018 family history / grandpa / other stuff / this and thatLeave a comment

                              Grandpa is a wonderful artist. He loves watercolors, which are the most difficult as far as technique. For a  Valentine gift this year, I made a book of photographs of all of his watercolors. Here …

How To Be A Grandpa

How To Be A Grandpa

Sandra January 6, 2018 family history / grandpa / i remember / little things / photographyLeave a comment

  Grandpa’s Christmas gift is a very, personal book. It contains 100 of my favorite photographs of him interacting with various grandchildren, as seen through my eyes. He is an involved Grandpa and is always teaching something although the children don’t always recognize his words and efforts as lessons. Here …

Stinky Bulbs and Rosemary

Stinky Bulbs and Rosemary

Sandra December 15, 2017 garden / grandpa / holidays / home / home decor / little things / this and thatLeave a comment

I think that Paper Whites are wonderful during the Christmas season. Grandpa started calling them “stinky bulbs” years ago and so my children call them by the same name. He says that he is just teasing, but I’m not so sure. When they all see that I have planted some, …

Little Gnome Playset

Little Gnome Playset

Sandra December 6, 2017 grandpa / holidays / kids / little things / other stuff / this and thatLeave a comment

Here are the little beardless gnomes who live in their own playset. I made the hats on my sewing machine and they were easy and fast. I did have to sew on the bell by hand. I could have been very fussy about the painting but I wasn’t because they …

This From That: Comfy Chairs

Sandra February 11, 2017 family history / grandpa / home / home decor / other stuff / this and that / thriftingLeave a comment

  These chairs must have been born in the 70’s. You don’t see fabric like that anymore. $12 each at the thrift store. Good condition and no need to repaint . . . at least not now.   One-third yard of fabric to cover each seat. Start to finish – less than …

This From That: Tables and Paint

Sandra February 11, 2017 family history / grandpa / home / home decor / other stuff / thriftingLeave a comment

  A well-placed mirror makes a room look bigger.  A thrifted mirror in good condition is even better.   A thrifted pedestal table can be cut down to make a wonderful coffee table. If Grandpa doesn’t live at your house, I don’t know what to tell you.   New wheels, bronzed …

Painting Kitchen Counters

Sandra December 15, 2016 grandpa / home / home decor / other stuff / this and thatOne Comment

  BEGIN SOMEWHERE.     It was very stressful to finally do the painting. I had talked about it and wanted to try it and read all about it for at least a year. That just isn’t like me. But, I knew that it was important to be sure about …
