Hummm switch multi talented for over worked!  LOL!!  It turned out well, I was so glad!  How you doing Sweety?

HHaaaa haaa!  I can just see that mand!  The look of delight in your girls faces and on your Dad's!!  Simple things are so special !

Even though T tried to delete your comment ( but was good enough to replace it, she is handy we find out! ) I was too, picturing this wee little fellow duct taped into his diaper!  Imagine, hope the Mom had a sense of humour!

LOL...I didn't try to delete the comment, I was trying to edit mine so when I copied it to edit it, I deleted my orginal comment, because Pauline's was a reply to mine it was deleted at the same time, something I did not know was going to happen until it did...so I checked my email and sure enough her comment was still in there so I copied it and pasted it back here...phew!

Yep, my sister has a great sense of humour...she still does but I watch her closely with B., I am afraid she with try to duct tape him into his huggies...LOL!

Haaa,haaa, too complicated, head spinning!  Edit?  Nah mistakles are far more interesting!  LOL!  Yah, watch little B for heavens sake, you know duct tape comes in all colours now days!  He could end up very colourfully attached to his huggies, or your drapes hemmed in glorious multy tones!  LOL!   Sweety, never fear, I always would assume the best of you, never the worst!!!

Apology accepted. I  know you wouldn't delete my comment on purpose but I still can't stop laughing at that poor little one stuck in his nappy, When Helen first used Pampers I had a job to put them on to Thomas, I had only been used to Terry nappies

Lots of love and it is almost my bedtime

Pauline

New pototoes!!!!   So perfect for fries... is that what you are packing for?

Did I stall?  Did I whine???  LOL!  Janice you so know I did!  LOL!!  Love you Nature Buddy and miss Ya!

The wagon was indeed a hit and geeess did it get used!  Fantastic, Hubby was in his glory!  Kinda sweet actually.

Yes they are seeing we Canadians paid extra for so long to insure gas was kept in Canadian hands.... to keep it nationalized so to speak, well they sold it off, we kept paying extra however they sell it south of the boarder where it is sold for 2 dollars a gallon as we pay 6 for the same gas!!!!  Now that just doesn't sit right that we as Canadians are actually helping pay for the much cheaper American gas!!!!  But then I don't agree with so many desions our government makes that affect evertday life. Soap box put away again!  Just makes you boil!   And appreciate the wee things .. just wish we could afford to go see them more often!

T, I am afraid to ask but here goes....  crazy glue and duck tape, eh????  LOL!!  I really hope it's not what I am thinking!!!  LOL!

Yep, crazy glue and duct tape...LOL!

I don't know one end of a sewing needle from the other...and my two aunts are fantastic seamstrests (I don't even know how to spell it, tee hee)...It was a year or so after my mom passed away so it was left to me to see to the new curtains we had bought for our converted loft bedrooms...the curtains were too long...what to do?  I sized them up and came up with a brilliant idea...crazy glue...I folded the curtains to the correct length and put crazy glue on them...it worked and worked really really well, when my two aunts inspected them they were quite impressed because they could not see any stitches, congratulated me on a great job...LOL!  They didn't even consider there was no thread visible because of the fact there was NO thread...LOL!  They still have no clue what I did...ROFL

The duct tape...when my nephew was a baby (they were home from Toronto on vacation), my sister and my mom left my friend and me with Adam for a 1/2 hr. while they went to the store...(dad was here too), Adam was wearing a pamper,of course we decided to change it.  We put a clean one on him but we didn't know how to secure it...we couldn't figure it out so we got the duct tape out and taped him right around with duct tape, that diaper was more than secure..lol.  The diaper had to be cut off of him...luckily we thought of duct tape first and not crazy glue...

You didn't!!!  I am totally killing myself thinking of your Aunts thinking you were the golden needle with your neat sewing..  er glueing!!! That just cracks me up!!!  I give you full points for clever!

But duck tapeing a baby!  Well we are Canadian and all, eh?? LOL!!! So, so funny!  At least the little chap was left with innovative people.  Good thing the crazy glue was not near, that could have been too much!

Well dear T . must admit that is very interesting to see what you get up to when left to your own innovations!!!  Handy little thing aren't you!  LOL!! 

Oh the things I could tell you what we got up to when were kids/teenagers, (none of it illegal)...LOL!  When we get together we have many laughs still, recalling what we used to do...Its all good!

Must be great to do that, to relive silly times with those who so helped you out to be silly!  It is a wonderful tie to keep!

What pressure???  Nah!  Pressure was when son desided he needed a special suit two days before the event!  Haaa,haaa, haaa....hummm maybe that is when I went crazy! ???  Could be! It was black velvet and if you have ever worked with that stuff it was tough,,, he also had a "liquid metal" shirt made by me that went with it.  Looked so cool but my machine didn't like the little metal fragments at all!

My day with Sean was fantastic, he was great but it did indeed take years off, I now feel 101 !  At least... oh need to lie down!  LOL!!!

Yes Kathryn, we are so, so very lucky to have food, and choices and the ability to feel full.  So many in this world don't know that. We go into  our stores and can pick out things that most of the world can only dream of. We have so much.

No, I dont know what velvet or Liquid metal are like, I'm afraid - I was so awful at sewing at school that I opted to do woodwork instead (and I was useless at that too, but less so). I do however own a sewing machine, but I've only used it once and now lent it to MIL- it was Granny's and you should see the puffed sleeves (was it "shoulder of mutton" they called them?) in the instruction manual! Granny was born at the end of Queen Victoria's reign (I think 1898) and I'm not sure it would have been new when she bought it. It's a Singer, so of course it should last forever (especially if I dont use it LOL)!

Now you know I meant you to age the opposite direction - you will have to get your stamina built back up! Glad you had a fantastic time - worth every aching muscle I bet!

Haaa,haaa no!  I know you are a realist, you knew it had to be up!  LOL!!!  Oh this morning... I didn't want to get up!  Haaa,haaa, me old!

Close Kathryn, I believe you mean the leg of mutton sleeve. But we are all trying to do things cheaper so we will leave it shoulder of mutton, much cheaper than a whole leg!  I have my Grandmother's old Singer too!  Love the thing, it is a work of art, all shinny black with a front plate in silver of raised grapes... what did grapes have to do with sewing?  Other than a glass of wine and you couldn't sew straight! LOL!!!  The old styles have such charm and I can't imagine wearing them!  Good thing moving forward for us woman has meant more liveable clothing!  Love my shorts and tank tops!   LOL!!  Imagine them in the late 1800's !  Scandal!

I have seamstress  for all my life it seems and have done recovering work too. Basically anything with sewing. But I have been too tired of late, so it is good to get back at it I guess!  You are so right, there seems to be lame reasons each week that we face increases. Seems too much, how can people manage?  The Grandmother part is so very easy... and fun too! LOL!

Ahhh Grandkiddies are so great emmie!  Just you wait, and wait, and wait seeing Chloe and Kylie are so young LOL!!  You will be like your Nan, I just bet you will be!

The 100 mile is what you are to limit yourself to.  To try to lessen your carbon footprint. Thank heavens the farm is just out where we use to live so about a 15 minute scoot!   A pint of beans, green or yellow has gone from a dollar ( I do remember when it was 25 cents!) to 3 dollars, 5 pounds of potatoes is 6 dollars!  Yikes!  Everything has gone up so much here!  You are to try to get everything you need within 100 miles of where you live so no tea or coffee for us and sugar is a problem but I found beet sugar that is free trade!   We do make exceptions, Hubby can not live without coffee.

Humm, the trucking industry here complained loud and clear and our petrol ( gas for us guys here! ) has been 10 cents at least  more than the cheaper deisel.  However... the rates went up to accommodate the increase in fuel and I have not seen that rolled back!!!!  Imagine that!

When... and if the dress is a go I will try to talk my lovely daughter into a pose or to...do not wait on this!  LOL!!!

Grandkiddies, Grandkiddies, Grandkiddies,.... oooohhh soooo love it! LOL  Dear Lady you have my number! LOL  GRANDKIDDIES are great!

Hummm... I would like to be that...sounds good!  LOL!!  But just me! Talk about super skilled, look at all you are up to, now that takes some doing!  I wish you the best in all your ventures!
