2013 Paying It Forward

Welcome through my back door, and yes I am taking part in Paying It  Forward, 2013. While you get your coffee and have a cookie,(leftover) I will try, explain, I don't know what has gotten into me. I did the Merriment chain and now this.  I won't mention any particular blogs I saw this on, because I will leave one out for sure,except I did tell Dawn, at Hollie Hills, I would do it. So like the old Candid Camera phrase, sometime when you least expect it, the first 5 commenters will receive a small token from me. I do promise I won't make it. The only catch is, you have to do the same thing on your blog. You  just have to commit, promise,  to do the same thing. You must e-mail me your addresses. If you want to leave a comment and not be included, just state that, and I won't count you.
I should have pictures of Sandi's highboy next post. It is gorgeous with it's makeover. (They had painted it a spotty white over brown.)
She sent me a partial finished picture last night and it looks good.
It is supposed to be warm here this week and we are having a working. My guys are coming (and gals)Saturday to help get some things done. Oh yes, I have a punch list!
I told you I would show you a picture of my calendar from Andrew and Mollie. It is a wonderful gift and I will cherish it forever. I mean that, from the bottom of my heart.

Here he is giving it to me and he told me,"I worked long and hard on this".

 That is Lindsay and Curt looking on. Love that little boy.

Those are all finger prints, to look like Christmas Lights.

This poem will make it rain on your face!

These are the first 5 months. Now do you see why I was pleased?
My beautiful granddaughter Olivia, is leaving today for the UK. She will be studying there for 6 months. I will miss her, and ask you help me pray for her safety.

This was taken when she came to say goodbye. I had no makeup on so don't look too closely. She is excited and I am happy she has this opportunity, but on the same note, concerned for her.
I have done a bit of tweaking here. Still carrying things out.

The stove board is very simple. Ooops, hadn't raised the shades yet.lol

Dry sink is simple too. I actually have flour, sugar,etc in those firkins. I think I told you, Schwanns ice cream containers make wonderful liners for them and they seal.

See things are really simple here right now. Well thanks for coming Through My Back Door where life is good.
