Stayed Home

Howdy, I stayed home over the weekend (I work on Sat. but not on Sunday).  Had a chance to go to my niece's b-day party at a skating rink but I had work to do.  I got more stuff packed up in my room in between cold drinks, (was it hot out or what?) towards listing the house and moving (boring).  Threw some non-chemical snail bait around some plants as the snails have been feasting, darn those hungry critters.

I think I figured out how I want my grannies to be attached.  Single crochet around each in white yarn and then go around again creating loops.  Then match the loops on each side and go through each set of loops, connecting the squares together with single crochet.  I'll think of the ridge that it will create around each one, as a sort of picture frame; framing and separating each one.

 

 

 

I put some green paper under them to show more contrast so you could see the stitches better.

Now I have 70 more to go before I'm done.  I'm in no hurry since it is supposed to be for leisure, not for rush and stress out!

Hey, I got 2 new, mailbox rental customers today and another person wants to open one soon!  If you want to open a mailbox, you don't have to live here as we do mail forwarding, too.

This post was late today since I was so busy and then I forgot to eat lunch, so I am posting now after I had my half of sandwich as dinner instead of lunch.

Time to go home, I'm outta here.

Mr. Bill

Cool and crisp morning here and it's gonna be a lovely day.  When I was doing some yard and garden clean-up this weekend, I realized that autumn here means it gets so hot it fries the leaves off the trees and bushes unlike where it gets cold and the leaves actually turn color, look pretty and then fall off.  Sometimes we get a cool fall and the leaves do change a bit before they fall off.  I don't think that is gonna happen this time.  One thing though is that we can have roses blooming much through the end of the year and a Christmas rose is really a treat.  Here are some photos of the shop taken last week.

The red door to the right is our entrance and you can see the DHL signs in the window. 

This is looking south on Temple City Blvd.  See the Fedex sign?  We also ship UPS.

This is the shop looking at both windows.  Now you know where we are and you can come visit!  We'd love to have you stop in and say hi.  Next up is a picture of the BEST MAILMAN on the planet.  I could not do my job without him.  He brings the mail to me and then I sort it into the correct mailboxes.  He's a sweet, lovable guy and he delivers the mail with a cheerful smile all the time.  He's really the best!

His name is Bill but sometimes I call him Billy Bob just for fun.  Over time I will be posting pix of all the people that help me in my business and make my world go 'round.  Hope you all have a terrific week!
