Chocolate Paint

 

After eight years in our current home we decided to sell. Our touch up paint from the original can was too light because one area behind a mirror had not faded. “Perfectly normal”, they said at Sherman-Williams. So I bought new paint and it still did not match when dry.

I went back and they added a tad of black pigment to the paint, and it was close, but close does not count when painting. In frustration, I looked around the house for something to add a little more brown to the paint and came up with a perfect choice. Cocoa powder. I used a little at a time and it took of stirring to make it smooth. It blended perfectly and smells like brownies while you’re working!

A Gift of Bookmarks

I received a wonderful gift from my cousin Steve today. Vintage bookmarks! He and Mary Ann found them when they cleaned out his mother's books. I do so appreciate them. 

There's a wonderful assortment of paper, plastic, brass, leather, rope, and cloth. They are in celebration of fun, the arts, wisdom, bookstores, publishers, authors, holidays, London, dogs, nature and more.

I will add them to my precious collection and always be grateful for the kind gesture.

Thank you cuz. 💖 

After a Winter Storm

Lovely view of Granite Mountain in Prescott, AZ after a winter storm today. Tumbleweeds in the foreground are awaiting their turn for the next Tumbleweed Roundup. (Photo taken from Paulden, AZ looking south).

Have you ever wanted to build your own tumbleweed Christmas tree? We had some nice big parts and accessories delivered to us by surprise in last night's storm.

54 Years and Counting...

Our wedding anniversary is this month. Looking back, we were just kids, but we knew what we wanted and it was to be together. Well done, you say? OK. But we're not finished yet.

In 2022, you can find us moving toward another destination. Hopefully, our final home will be built in Nutrioso, Arizona. It will be small, easy to care for, close to riding, fishing, hiking, mushrooming, and exploring. We plan to have a wild time.
