The puppies are now 4 weeks old. They are getting big and are starting to play. I am introducing them to food of which they don't like as much as Mama milk . Ava is not staying with them as much and I noticed they have tiny little teeth coming through. So very soon they will HAVE to eat from a bowl. Here are a few pictures of my chubby little fur babies.

LABOR DAY IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE

On Monday, September 7, 2009, my beautiful daughter gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She was born at 3:52 pm and weighed 8lbs 4oz. We are so proud to welcome my 6th grand.

GOD IS SO GOOD

On a resent trip to Charleston, I found two old bread dough bowls at an antique/collectables shop that was going out of business. These are great finds I thought for the money. I have seen some like these that were twice the price I paid for them. On the ends of the oblong bowl you can see the rings of the tree from which it was carved. I wonder what its history is. The round bowl is in pretty good shape and no cracks.



I also found the small wash board from the same antique/collectables store. The rolling pin with red handles, the flour sifter and the cookie/biscuit cutters are from an antique mall in Charleston.

The crock in the picture was from Glenn's mother, I think. He can't remember the history of it so maybe some of the family can add to it's story.



The red apron was one of my mothers. She made it when she was young and it has some stitching (cross stitch) on the small checks.

The buffet is old and very solid. I use to have some of my old oil lamps, silhouetts (I will share the slhouetts at another time) and other items in a small booth at an antique store. When the store closed, the owner's items were auctioned. I bid on the buffet and to my surprise won. I know it is old because of the duck joints.

Anyway, I love old things. Thanks for looking and letting me share.
