Independent Ice!

Tony and I had such a wonderful time this past weekend visiting with our dear friends, Larry and Dee, I literally ran out of time to write anything for my blog. Yesterday was an extremely busy day for us and I was just too tired to write last night, so now I am back in the saddle again, so to speak, and am taking the time to write.

Today has been great. At 7:20 this morning, Big G called me to do my Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch segment. It was a lot of fun and his Pet Of The Week was Rufus, a very lovable twelve-year-old dog.

After Big G and I adios-ed each other, I quickly cooked up Tony's two eggs and muffin breakfast and then I wrapped it up and put his breakfast, into the oven, to keep it warmed, at 225 degrees. Then I went outside to start doing my morning chores.

By 10:00, we had done our outside chores, I had showered and dressed and felt great about the whole day being ahead of us. So, after I started a load of clothes washing, I went down the hallway and said, "Tony, I want to go to the Medina Garden Nursery, to buy some plants from Ernesto..."

Thirty minutes later, Tony and I were at our favorite garden center, in Texas, talking to Ernesto. "Ernesto, I bought this pots & pans hanger, at the Medina Garage Sale, Saturday morning and I am going to put plants inside it and hang it up on our front porch. I need your help on what plants to use, because they will only get partial sunlight...."

One hour later, Tony and I were back home with our new plants. While I was inside cooking us a delicious frittata, for lunch, Tony was outside on the front porch putting on the needed hardware, so he could hang up my pots & pans hanger—that I bought for only fifteen dollars.

After lunch, Tony went back outside to work on Tom Landry's & Grace Kelly's pen, because Sunday morning those two dug out again. While he was outside working, I decided to decorate The Cabin with the new stuff that we bought at the town's garage sale.

First, I took a picture of the "Independent Ice Co. Let Us Serve You" ice scooper, that has a bottle opener on one end and it only cost me a dollar.

Then I hung it up, above our stove.

Then I hung up my newest flying pig (upper left hand corner) and it too, only cost me a dollar.

Then I filled up the super cool, candle holder with our pens, pencils, markers and paintbrushes and I put it on the breakfast bar, next to Carlton and it didn't cost me anything, because when I was fixin' to purchase it, Larry and Dee bought it as a gift for me and it only cost them five dollars. 

I am still not sure where I am going to mount the black, vintage Bell System telephone, made by Western Electric, that still works and comes with a turning, volume control knob, at its base. I love my Made In America phone that only cost me six dollars, that I had to pay out in quarters, from the bottom of my purse, because I ran out of paper money. 

Late this afternoon, Tony went outside and built a 25"X10", 1" X 4"pine, flower box for me. 

Then he planted our new flowers. Then I helped him hang up our newest and heaviest, hanging pots & pans, flower box, which I totally love. Thank you, Tony!

Then Carol came over for a really fun visit, in Outer Space and yes, Carol loves our new hanging pots & pans flower box. And that is about it for tonight.

Y'all have a great evening!
