Day 302 (667)


Retirement Plan

Above photo is step one in my latest creative endeavor.  Below is step two.  Stay tuned for future steps in this project.

While working on this project today we discussed the future of me continuing to do some variation of this project into retirement.  

When we move to Florida I will be known as THE Bag Lady.  EVERYONE will bring their plastic bags to me for my wonderful creations.  My darling daughter Mandi thinks I will that lady who is always tan and always in my swimsuit wearing beach cover-ups created out of the plastic bags I collect.  She also thinks I will make friends with a lady who collects aluminum cans.  She will need some of my plastic bags for her cans.

I will probably also collect glass dishes to keep my ever growing collection of shells in.  But I will have so many dishes and will need to start creating glass lawn ornaments.  Our yard will be filled with glass lawn ornaments of any color imaginable.  Since I will know many people who collect marbles most of these lawn ornaments will be decorated with marbles.

Needless to say I WILL be the most popular lady in our community.  And believe me EVERYONE will have fun, fun, fun.  ha! (Now that I've re-read this it really was much funnier as it developed all afternoon.)

This is the abbreviated version of my retirement.  I have another project that needs to be researched and can't spend any more time on this story. (:

Fun day today.  The past several days have been spent getting things done before we leave for Florida.  My business is the most organized it has ever been.  This morning I cleared my custom order board and mailed out all pending orders.  Late this morning I headed for the kitchen and created some wo nderful lotions. The pretty peppermint jars contain "Peppermint Perfection", a luscious hand balm that has a heavenly peppermint scent. The "Green Stuff" is a boo-boo salve.  It works great on cuts, burns, very dry skin and it stops bug bites from itching. And the pretty lotion in the middle is "Mara's Magical Moisturizer" which I created for my granddaughter to help relieve some of her dry skin caused by eczema.  This is a new and improved version.  I am hoping this will work even better than the last batch. Not in this photo is the body wash I made.  Super rich and its wonderful smell is peppermint and sweet orange. The fun

The Witch's Hat... Stumbled across this quite by mistake today.  It took a little bit of four wheel driving to get up to the top of the hill due to MORE fresh snow overnight.  After a slippery walk up a bunch of steps and a snowy hill there was the most fabulous view of the beautiful city of Minneapolis.  This landmark is known as the "Witch's Hat".  This water tower was built in 1913 and sits in Prospect Park which is the highest natural spot in the city. With the lamp post in the foreground doesn't this remind you of Narnia -- The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe?
