I want to make a brief public thank you to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
spideylives for her great work on an item I wore for Halloween. I got more compliments on this outfits than I could have ever imagined. I had one little boy afl me if I was a teal pirate "like on TV?". That was just precious!
This Demi corset is first rate! I sent my measurements as requested, she sent me photos of the fabric swatches, and a few days later, I had my corset!
All I can say is WOW!!!

(Photos are of shrubs wearing umbrellas for hats, pompons for arms, big clown sunglasses and a big bow)
It took me a moment to recover and then realized why the shrubs are decorated as they are... Our city is hosting a little league world series of sorts... they are dressed up like cheerleaders! (or parents!)
Its the little things that make you laugh!

I figured my lights were on... again... Nope, not the lights. The lady went on to tell me that when she was backing out she had bumped into my rear bumper. OK. Any damage? I asked. No, but she insisted that I go have a look for myself. The mere fact that she came back into the library to find the car's owner told me there was no damage was good enough for me, but she wanted me to go look for myself.
I went out, had a look. Nope, no damage. Besides, with the pretty layer of UV protection that my car is wearing (read dirt) how could anyone even see a scratch? I thanked her profusely for her actions. I returned to the cool arctic air of the library with a big smile thinking it was nice to know that good, honest people are still around!
I did not get your name or even remember the car you were driving, but I wanted you to know that I appreciate what you did!

Radio Station Locator
This lets you search all of their database by location, genre, call letters... I found a station that I just loved back in Florida... and they are streaming!
Recycling ideas for styrofoam meat trays.
My own idea is this: I use them under gourd veggies like zukes, squash and pumpkins. It keeps them out of the dirt and especially for pumpkins, you can grow the perfect specimen for carving by keeping it clean and upright!

Taking baby's temperature was an issue for my sister. Besides, who really wants to deal with a rectal thermometer? Now theres this!
This would be great for Halloween! Who needs gnomes?
Oh? You already have gnomes? Then try this.
And a dose of daily therapy.
Hope everyone is enjoying there weekend. Stay safe!

In one week, they went from blind and featherless to feathered and fledged! Im excited for them and sad for them at the same time. They now have to venture out into the world and fend for themselves. But they're soooo little! I hope they have good little birdy lives!

Its the Fourth of July. I have nowhere to go, nothing to do. I put in a little time in the yard today and then went to the office to finish up some work over there. Heres a random sampling of the things I saw/did today...
As I am walking into the 'office' thru the carport, I almost get hit in the head by a small bird. I go inside and watch out the window to see what all the fuss was about. The bird returned to the carport and I watched as it went into a hanging basket of ivy. I waited til it flew out and this is what I saw! There are 5 babies in there! The bird is a Carolina Wren. How cute are they!?!

ZUCCHINI BREAD
Preheat oven to 350.
2 cups flour
3 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups fresh zucchini, grated and drained
1 cup chopped nuts (I use pecans, but walnuts or others work well)
Sift first 4 ingredients together.
Beat eggs, oil, sugar, vanilla & zucchini together.
Fold dry ingredients into creamed mixture.
Pour into two well greased loaf pans.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
VERY IMPORTANT! Double wrap in foil as soon as soon as they come out of the oven and the pans. This keeps the bread moist!
I hope you all enjoy this bread as much as I do!
