I did want to show you a Thrifty Thursday snaperoo - since we did run around to a few Thrift/Consignments Shops and a couple of Estate Sales last Saturday and I found a few things....
I picked up the small 9" spring form pan (it looks brand new) to have another choice to bake with. The two books, first the John Steinbeck, published by Collier, is from a set of JS books they put out in the mid 30's, I have a couple of other sets of Collier books by different authors and thought this would be a nice set of books to look for, and the "Ladies of Liberty:The Women who Shaped Our Nation" by Cokie Roberts, was only a $1 and since I have been watching the reruns of CSPAN's "First Ladies:Influence and Image" I am just fascinated by the conversations about the First ladies and am finding out just how much I didn't know and how influential these women behind the men were. They Second Season starts up on September 9th and begins with Edith Roosevelt. You can click to the CSPAN site and watch any of the programs that have aired so far.

Since I will not be here on Friday I think I'll post a snap of last Sunday afternoon........
.... the Smokie after playing grab-ass with the other Who-hounds, as you can see he has one of the 100's of toys the who-hounds drag all over the house. This is one of 4 raccoon "Skinnnez" in the basket. We have all of them and double and more of each. We get the smaller size and the squeak (when new) can drive you crazy - the squeaker bit usually is the first thing to go, but they love them even when they stop squeaking.

ReplyDeleteI predict there will be some baking happening. ;-)
I am soooo jealous! Hope you get some stitching and baking in!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the long weekend ... mine will be Fri-Mon ... almost as good as yours!
ReplyDeleteHappy Labor Day weekend to you too Edgar & also to Rico : )
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rug shampooing. I need to do that but keep putting it off (the whole moving all the furniture around is such a pain). Hope you can squeeze some fun stuff into your long weekend too.
ReplyDeleteDearest Edgar: I just want to hug that little Smokie, he is so sweet looking.
ReplyDeleteLove the camel pic, great finds, the books look very interesting.
I love the spring pan you can never have enough baking pans in a home.
Hugs
Have a great extended week-end.
Hello Rico and kids.
Catherine
Enjoy your extended weekend break.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your long weekend - I've got a 4-day myself. Yay! I think you will enjoy Ladies of Liberty. It's a great book!
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO!!!! Enjoy your time off. Please find time for stitching. I also wanted to ask in general how things are there. The news keeps talking about the fires not being that far away - just wondering if you are being affected (breathing, etc).
ReplyDelete"Mike Mike Mike...Mike what day is it Mike?" Love that commercial!
ReplyDeleteNever fear Who Hounds, I have a bag of 100 replacement "squeaks" for pet toys. Ok, I'm sure you and Rico just want to shoot me now.......
ReplyDeleteAhhh, yes. The SQUEAKER. Wonderful invention!
ReplyDeleteHope you get those carpets cleaned and hurry off to the all-important stitching! Have a great weekend!
Hihihi (Lol) the camel picture is really funny.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week-end.
Greetings from Germany
Who doesn't love that camel? Yup, I have to admit I have been guilty of repeating "guess what day it is!" and "whoo-hoo!"....my family doesn't quite share my extreme happiness at the geico commercial but hey, it never fails to make me smile! Glad you were able to enjoy the long week-end!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've seen every episode of the First Ladies. They're gems and I've enjoyed them immensely! (Thought maybe I was the only one left who still peeks at CSPAN.). Lol
