Happy Thursday! Well, I am on my way to Pennsylvania. I know it is a long trip, but looking forward to seeing my Mom. She is so excited. it looks like the weather is going to be a lot cooler than it has been here in Florida. That will be a welcome treat.

Washington county where she lives usually has a covered bridge festival the 3rd weekend in September and I am so excited that they are having it this year. Although it is too much for my Mom, my sister and I will go. We will have a great time I am sure. So if you don't hear from me for a few days, I will be busy.

Have a great rest of your week and a wonderful weekend.

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome! All is well here on the home front. All of the painting is done on my in-laws place. so glad that is over. I am having a more quiet time this week. I am getting ready to drive up to Pittsburgh, PA on Thursday to see my Mom. I want to drive one more time before the time change. I have a hard time driving more that a few hours once it gets dark, so this will be my last trip driving.

I have some things for my sister that I want to take and I made her some fall items as well. We love the same things so it is easy to know what to get her.

I hope your week is going well and enjoy your time.

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Happy Thursday! I hope your week is going well. Mine has been very busy painting. Not my house but my in-laws new home. We started painting last Saturday and are still at it. The living room, kitchen, spare bedroom and hallway are done. We still need a second coat on the master bedroom and then there are those accent walls in both bedrooms. Of course they are dark colors and I will start them today. I know they will take several coats. Then there will be both bathrooms. I am sick of painting!

They are coming to clean the carpets on Monday so I must be done by then. Wish me luck!

Vintage Metal Gym Locker

Several years ago, my friend who has an antique shop found several of these vintage metal gym lockers for me. I had them under a console table but had not used them in the new house yet.

We had our lanai (here in Florida a screened in porch is called a lanai) enclosed with windows and a sliding door to our outside porch and pool. It is giving me a chance to fix up that room with all of the things I have had put away.

It is a work in progress so I will be showing you parts of it as I get it done. The first thing I did was grab my metal basket to add some items to it.

vintage metal gym locker. Share NOW. #wirebasket #vintage #decor #eclecticredbarn

First I added some covered books. I grab some old books and wrapped them in drop cloth material. I didn't want to glue the fabric so I taped it on. That seemed to work, at least for me.

On the books I places a couple of vintage ginger beer bottles. I got these in Vermont several years ago. I actually bought 4 of them for 50 cents a piece. Great deal!

Other items that I included were a printed sack, a fall candle ring and some vintage bobbins. I was just going through things I found in my garage.

I found so many items that could work but wanted to stay with fall colors.

I did have a white insulator that I added to the basket as well.

This is one of the items that I did for my new enclosed porch. I will show you the piece it is sitting on coming up next.

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the party. I hope you had a lovely Labor Day weekend, here in the U.S. Ours was nice, however as the name states -labor day - that's what we did. My inlaws are moving into a new place and I am painting their house. Needless to say, it is every room- living and dining room, kitchen, both bathrooms and both bedrooms. It was such a dark color so naturally, everything needs two cots.

There are two accident walls in each bedroom that will probably need three coats. Not looking forward to that.

I hope you have a great week ahead.

Thursday Favorite Things Party

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Happy Thursday! Can you believe that it is September? We had some rain today, but not from Ida. Not even sure where it came from but it did cause temps to drop. Hubby was away for the day so I turned the air off and had the doors open. There was a nice breeze and it was so nice to not be closed up in the house. (Had to put air back on when hubby came home)

So for the first day of September, I was kind of thinking of fall. No where near fall temps but it got me in the mood. I hope all of you that are still dealing with Ida that you are safe and not getting too much rain. September is always the worst month for hurricanes and I hope it is not bad. Be safe and take care!

Welcome to You're The Star - Extra Feature Week

Happy Monday! I hope you are well and sending prayers to all of those in the path of Ida and especially those in Louisiana. Please be safe as Ida heads north east. It will probably be dumping lots of rain.

I am always glad when September is over since it is the month with the most hurricane activity. It is not even September and things are off to a bad start. It is always so sad to see so much destruction.

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Happy Thursday! Wow, I can't believe that we are nearing the end of August. Summer is just flying by. With summer, it means lots of heat and we are having it but those in the north are having hot temps as well. I think some places up north are hotter than here in central Florida. Talk about climate change!

Of course the heat means swimming and keeping cool, if you can. Even the dogs are not happy to be outside for too long. On these hot days, I give them frozen watermelon. I they love it and it seems to cool them down. I just cut up small pieces and freeze them on a tray and then put them in a container. Do you do anything special for your pets when it is hot?

Have a great rest of your week and weekend!

Happy Tuesday/Wednesday! I hope your week is off to a great start. I certainly has been hot here in central Florida. I hope you are safe from all of the rain from henri.

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Happy Thursday! It has been a busy week. Working on some projects but none of them are done yet. It's one of those things were you paint one projects and wait for it to dry and then move on to another one and then back to the first one later. You know how that goes - round and round.

It has been so hot here in Florida, but that is to be expected in

August. It is the heat index that is the really bad part. Today was 109 with the heat index. Yikes! Are you having heat waves or enjoying some cooler weather?

Just an update on my Mom, she is doing well after her fall. The bruises on her face are mostly gone and her finger is still in a splint. So all is well. Thanks for all of your kind words.

Hello friends and welcome to the party. I am so glad you stopped by. I am having a great week so far. Yesterday was my birthday and although I try to ignore it, the family wouldn't let me.

I went to my zumba class and when I came home, hubby had made us dinner (my daughter and I go together) . He did great. My daughter made me this awesome cake. It was a lovely day.

Happy Thursday! Life is good. I am on my way back home after having a girls night with my bestie. I had not seen her in 7 weeks so it was long over do. We laughed, drank (a little) cooked and then she gave me a facial. She does that for a living.

There is nothing like a girls night together. We use to have more time together but since I moved, I only get to see her about every 5 weeks. it is 4 hours one way to her house, but it is worth it.

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to the party. My week got off to a crazy start. Going into church up north, my Mom tripped and fell. Hit her face, her knee, her hand as she tried to stop herself. She is 96 and when my sister got there, she was bleeding but she said she was fine. Her face is black and blue.

However, she was not fine. she went for an xray on her hand and they sent her home and said they would call with the results. Who does that to a 96 year old person. Well, she has a fractured finger. They said she could see an orthopedic surgeon at the end of the month. Really??

Finally, my sister called my Mom's doctor backa nd she was able to get her an appointment on Wednesday. Now this has been since Sunday. Poor thing, having to deal with all of that. I feel bad for my sister, since she has to try and work and deal with doctors and appointments. It is so hard being so far away. I am just grateful that my sister is there to help.

I just can't believe that they sent her home with a fractured finger. Crazy.

I hope your week got off to a great start.

Well, it is peach season, or almost the end of it in Georgia. My BIL came down last week with another bushel of peaches. I cut up most of them and put them in the freezer but I did keep out some to eat and for baking.

One of the things I decided to bake were these Fresh Peach Bars. They were a hit with everyone.

I guess fall will be here soon! I have seen Halloween, fall decor and even Christmas decor at Hobby Lobby for about 3 weeks now. The year is just going by too fast.

Happy Thursday! We are on the road again heading home. I enjoyed my time in Vermont and especially spending time with the grandkids. The weather was wonderful. Warm, in the mid 80s. Loved that. We had rain late one evening but other than that, it was beautiful.

We had several bonfires and the kids set off fireworks one night. Of course there were smores. I cooked a lot and made several desserts. We ate well. I especially enjoyed cooking with my grandson. He loves to cook. He even asked for some of my recipes.

I want to apologize for not answering comments these last couple of weeks. It has been hard to get the time.

Welcome to the party. I hope your weekend is off to a great start. Mine has been really nice. I am Vermont visiting with my grand children. It is the first time I have been here since Christmas 2019.

Hubby and I drove up last Thursday. Last night my DIL and granddaughter took their horse trailer that has sleeping accommodations and went to a show show. It was so nice to hang out with just us girls.

My granddaughter used to do dressage but last year decided to move to jumping. I had not seen her compete this way. It was so awesome to watch her. She does really well. I must admit that I enjoyed being around and taking care of the horses as well. I had horses growing up so I was in heaven.

Well, off to spend time with my grandson. He is the hockey player. No hockey for me!!
