A Man with a Televison Remote

We have one television. Can you guess that the boob-tube is not a big deal in our home?

A few months back, grandson Colt and I were in the bedroom. I was folding a few items out of the dryer on the bed. He helped a little, then settled back on the pillows, crossed his ankles and said, "TV." I told him Granny did not have a TV in the bedroom. He looked around then said, "Okay." Finished "helping" me fold laundry.

Having just one television is starting to be a 'big' deal for me. I can be settled in watching a program, get up for a bathroom break, come back, and DH has taken possession of the remote and is scrolling channels. 

Yesterday early evening I got back from a milk run (I have to have milk - chocolate preferably - every morning). I put the milk in the refrigerator, walked into the living room portion of the open floor-space room and turned the news on. I went back into the kitchen to start prepping for supper. I can see the television clearly from the kitchen. Sam was in his office at the computer. He walked through the kitchen to the living room, picked up the remote and started scrolling channels. I was flabbergasted. Did he think the television turned itself on? I politely asked him that when he got through scrolling would he please turn back to channel 7 for the local weather.

Just a couple of evenings ago, he scrolled for an hour and a half. An HOUR and a HALF!! He never settled on anything longer than 3 seconds. Folks, we do not have cable or satellite. We are still on antennae. We only have access to SEVENTEEN channels! He scrolled SEVENTEEN channels for an HOUR and a HALF!!!!!

I'm thinking about putting a television in my sewing room...

More Clouds!

Click this - Clouds by Zach Zobeich performed by PS22

Well I fell down, down, down
Into this dark and lonely hole
There was no one there to care about me anymore
And I needed a way to climb and grab a hold of the edge
You were sitting there holding a rope

 And we’ll go up, up, up
But I’ll fly a little higher
We’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here my dear
It won’t be long now, it won’t be long now

 When I get back on land
Well I’ll never get my chance
Be ready to live and it’ll be ripped right out of my hands
Maybe someday we’ll take a little ride
We’ll go up, up, up and everything will be just fine

 And we’ll go up, up, up
But I’ll fly a little higher
We’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here my dear

 It won’t be long now, it won’t be long now
If only I had a little bit more time
If only I had a little bit more time with you

 We could go up, up, up
And take that little ride
And sit there holding hands
And everything would be just right
And maybe someday I’ll see you again
We’ll float up in the clouds and we’ll never see the end

 And we’ll go up, up, up
But I’ll fly a little higher
We’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here my dear
It won’t be long now, it won’t be long now

And we’ll go up, up, up
But I’ll fly a little higher
We’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here my dear
It won’t be long now, it won’t be long now

As Seen on TV

 Baby brother Joey had a slushie cup. I found one for Jonathan when he was little. I found this at a local store. It's soft sided. The insert has salt water in the walls. You freeze it. Pour your liquid in it. Let it sit a minute or two. Then squeeze it.

Verdict with chocolate milk?

THUMBS UP!

I bought one of these for each grand! Colt, Isabel, and Cain. :-)  
I had no intention of purchasing an Orgreenic pan. Sigh. But I did. The small saute pan. 

I washed it. Seasoned it. Put it on the stove. It did not sit flat...it rocked on my burner. The handle was too heavy for the pan. So I returned it to the store for a refund.

I still don't know why I purchased it. My cast iron is virtually non-stick. I used all three pieces (plus the lid) shown here for supper one night.

CAST IRON RULES!

Prickly pear

Peek-a-boo! I see you!

Roses

Raisin Walnut Oatmeal Scones

Yep. One is already missing. :D Guess whooooo?! LOL

 

I LOVE my sectioned cast iron skillet! Not only does it bake great scones, the cornbread is so good and crusty! Yum!
 

Buttered with orange marmalade. Heavenly!

Wednesday on the way home:


Roses growing on a fence row.

 I don't know what this is but pretty!

At home Sam, Kirk, and I checked out the neighbor's land clearing progress. This was not timber - just overgrown with brush and spindly trees. 

Kirk enjoying his early evening romp. 

 

 

He found this bone early in his residence here. LOL It is longer than he is. Jonathan had to carry it to the dog run for him. 

Friday morning I tried it. YEP! I can now point my toes enough to pull my boots on. Yippee!! Only 10 weeks or so since I sprained my ankle. :D Still not totally back to normal but getting closer each day. (I'm staying off dress shoes with heels taller than one inch. bummer)

Pea soup fog Friday morning. (But remember...I had my red boots on!)
