busy bees


Readers, it has come to my attention that I have been negligent in updating this blog. I have perfectly good excuses, honestly! As you can see from the above photo, my family was enjoying a much-needed get-away to our favorite place in the world, Charleston, SC.


Here is the Angel Oak Tree in John's Island, SC. This tree is estimated to be 1300 years old and its branches spread out for over an acre.


This is Pitt Street Bridge, where the H.L. Hunley was carried from Mt. Pleasant to Breach Inlet (in between Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island) to be tested before it sank the Housatonic in the Civil War, making it the first submarine to successfully sink an enemy ship ever.

History lesson over.

Lest you think I spent all this time doing nothing yard-sale related, please observe the didn't-turn-out-right fruit holder I fashioned out of 10 cent pans. I got this idea from Ready Made, and theirs was much better. Further tinkering to be conducted soon.


Readers, remember waaaaaaay back when Nancy and I moved the dilapidated cabinet from the garage of a home on our street? It has been stripped, sanded, stained, and new hardware has been installed. Here is the top half. See, I have been busy.




I also graduated from nursing school, spent time at my sister's, and started a new job. So am I forgiven?
