We went to Kentucky for a church homecoming, and took some time to check out properties near Irvine that we saw on Zillow. Somehow our GPS got confused in the mountains, but we found the property I had my eye on purely by accident. It is everything that I want - a view, quiet, and a small house. The only problem is that we aren't ready to retire for anot her couple years, and can't afford two mortgages. I hope the LORD will keep it for us!

On Saturday we took a trip up to Jungle Jims at Eastgate and I got a 6 month supply of international teas. We also got some cheese, jars of Polish pickled vegetables and red cabbage, and a heavy duty bird feeder. Later I attended a Memorial day ceremony at our Courthouse.
Today were heading to Dayton KY for a memorial day parade..

What a hoot! Reminds me of when our school did donkey basketball. The varsity basket ball team vs some of the teachers. I can't tell you who won, but I still remember the star varsity player and one teacher on donkeys that didn't want to move!

 At the end of the school year, our community schools department organizes an Inflata Race. School staff and public officials volunteer to put on inflated costumes and run a race while students cheer them on. Although it is short, like the Kentucky Derby, its a hoot. I love taking pictures of the runners.

Oof da! I am wiped out! The latest project was to plant something nice in the flower beds. I got some Stella d'oro lilies, dug out a trench, planted them with fresh soil and laid mulch along the porch edge where rain hits. The extra soil was dumped under the tall deck where I hope to plant ground cover roses.

The newest addition to our home- a deck off the sunroom. Still waiting for the French doors, but I can squeeze out the side windows.

I sew my treadle belts together. It's quieter than the click click click of the sound of the staple. If, after time, your belt stretches you can just trim the end and sew together again. Poking the hole with an awl first helps.

Just an update on Chantal (the singer). I've been fiddling with the belt, and it's almost tight enough, but the staple that's supposed to hold both ends together broke with all the on and off adjustments. So now I'll either sew the ends together with upholstery thread or drive to the sewing machine shop to see if the owner has extra staples. I've also looked up how to thread it, and am ready to go.

Vanessa, I bet Rose is going to love her new expanded fence line! Hopefully she doesn't find any weakness.

I've ordered the leather belt and looked up a couple tutorials on how to install it.
In the meantime, I used our excess fencing to expand the dogs yard. There's a slight jog in the fence line, so I may use extras to smooth it out.
Rose is exploring and checking for weaknesses.

Beautiful treasures Vanessa! My grandmas had one of those expanding boxes and I loved looking through all of the things.

Vanessa you are going to have so much fun sewing with your new machine. I have several treadle machines and love sewing with them. I also have one of those little expanding sewing boxes that my sister found at a thrift store. It's perfect for keeping patterns and spools.

W hoa Nelly, it has been a while since I have posted any news, although February and March are the most boring months in these parts. Last Saturday my sweetie got me a 1898 Singer treadle sewing machine. It needs a new belt, and also had the accessory instruction book and the accessories.
On top of that, we got a sewing box chock full of vintage spools, buttons, and other sewing items.
My sewing room is getting a bit crowded!
