Sorry this is sideways, haven't figured out how to turn them!

What I did today!

Day 22 - What story are you grateful for?

Kids, this is so ambiguous. I'm going with fanfic and I'm going with all my favorite fanfic. All of it. So there. I'm grateful for ALL the fanfic writers out there, who keep producing new stuff for me to read. I adore you all!

Today was His Lordship's big craft fair. It was a rousing success! We got home about 1/2 an hour ago, everything is put away and we have bucks, or should I say he has bucks.

I'm tired, my back is killing me and I'm hungry. So I'm outta here!

Hi Kids,

I thought I'd post something fun and positive - for a change! Ha!

Saturday I watched "The Great British Baking Show" (on PBS in 'murica it's called 'baking show' and not 'bake off' due to copyrighting from Pillsbury - don't get me started). I've seen it all before, but still enjoy watching. I still can't deal with Candace and her pouty lipsticked lips. Ugh.

Shower and then it was MINI adventure time! We drove down (up?) to Mindenville which is just south of Carson City and hit the giant antique store. I'd been once before and just knew His Lordship would be in hog heaven. Kids, we were in that store for over 3 hours - it's that big. I bought a jaspar egg and now my collection is complete at 5 eggs. His Lordship made some purchases that he plans to turn into crafty things.

We wanted to eat at the Full Belly Deli, but they weren't open. Instead we went to a pupusa place in a strip mall. What a great find! The pupusa's were large and delicious. We were smart and ordered one plate (3 pupusa's; one bean and cheese, one chorizo and one shrimp) we also ordered two tamales de elote! They were the closest to the green corns I grew up with I've ever found. Yum! I love going to off the wall places and making great finds!

We drove home via the new southeast connector road instead of the freeway and it was a nice drive as well. Almost as fast as the freeway without all the hassle. Plus snowy egrets! There are wetlands on the east side!

We were so stuffed from the late lunch, we just picked around 8pm. We watched some mindless tv, I can't even remember what.

Sunday we did some chores. Sadly the game I wanted to watch wasn't televised. It ended in a tie, I'm guessing it was a real nailbiter. I don't watch much football, but I do enjoy my Vikings and the Superbowl. I have a friend in Tucson and we text during the game.

I made an ice cream cake for dessert - blackberry of course. We have so many blackberries! His Lordship made some refrigerator jam which was delicious! I made a big pot of Italian sausage and pepper pasta for dinner and, of course, only The Princelings showed up! It's always that way. ;)

It was nice to see them and they are well. They left shortly after 10 and we closed up shop for the night.

'Twas a good weekend!

It's a crafty Tuesday and a harvest day as well.

I've got so many things I need/want to do, I was struck with complete ennui earlier. I finally decided to get busy with my crafting. His Lordship does a craft show in early December at a local high school, sponsored by the high school bands. I've tried to push some of my crocheting, but it hasn't gone over too well with the high school kids. This year I'm making scarves in their school colors of navy/forest. We'll see.



The colors are a little off in this pic as I had to use a bright light to make them show up. I'm going to make 4, in different styles.

And His Lordships's garden produced a massive pepper harvest today! So very pretty!
