Project 12 – a day in the life – Nancy of Oklahoma

My good friend, Debbie, is donating a kidney to her youngest son (23 yr) Jacob, today.
Showing my support.

Gotta have my daily dose.
 It may not look pretty now but it’s going to be yummy.
The juicy bone from out Easter ham, black eye peas, garlic clove, sea salt and pepper.
 Slow cooked
Last of the inside chores. I love the sound of a humming dishwasher.

 

 Admiring my new doors. My husband and son helped me finish them in time for our family and friends get together yesterday.

Checking on Princess, otherwise known as “Miss Ornery”. She was born unpredictable and a little mean. She kicked at mom and my daughter in law yesterday so she will probably be going to the sale soon.

 Molly wants to play tug of war. I want fetch. She wins till I give up.

It’s a long day for a lot of people.

Cleaned out some flower pots to get ready for new Asparagus ferns.
 So easy and so beautiful. They are my favorite.

Writing to our sponsored girl in Kenya. (Compassion International)
She asked if we used grass for our roofs too?
They were able to get metal and can now sleep when it rains without getting wet.
Not bad with corn bread (I like mine in the bowl), avocado w/a little sea salt,
and cole slaw (KFC recipe).
Nancy, thanks for joining in on Project 12, a day in the life..
Well wishes to your friend Debbie and her son Jacob.
Such a wonderful thing, your support and correspondence with the Kenyan girl .
I bet you learn just as much from her as she learns from you. 🙂
PS.. that ornery little filly?  She sure is pretty, cranky or not.

Project 12 – Mary of New England

  For this installment of Project 12, Mary sent me pictures which I had trouble opening… then she told me she also blogged about her day, and so I decided I shouldn’t reinvent the wheel… you can see Mary’s day by clicking the link to her blogpost  below…

Thanks, Mary!

Project 12- A Day in the life

     Since the Project 24 idea has been really fun and many of you like to participate, how about something just a little different.  We’ll call it Project 12 – A Day in the life.  Why 12 and not 24, as in the hours of the day? because 12 photos in one blog post is more doable for the taker and the poster…lol..

      So here’s the deal.  If you’d like to take this on… all you have to do is give me a date that you will pick for your “Day in the Life”.   On that chosen date… you take 12 photos from the start of your day to the end of it, photos that depict that day in your life how every you choose to portray it.  Then at your convenience, send me those twelve photos – to karenthisoldhouse@hotmail.com    you can caption each photo, or not. They can stand alone, up to you.  Your “Day” will be the guest post.   Doesn’t matter if you’re a stay at home mom, a weaver, a photographer, a janitor, a waitress,  a gas station manager, an engineer on a freighter,  a butcher, a baker, a candle stick maker.  Every life is interesting, it’s in the details, however minute.  

     Are you in??… let me know! Remember to pick a date, any date that works for you.   And here’s today’s question, to help swallow yesterday’s hard lump… thank you for your input and I do appreciate your support.  I did remove the post when we were through with it, because… well, we’re through with it, right?

  So, the question.   How do you take YOUR coffee?   My answer?… light, no sugar. The best cup of coffee I ever had was Kona coffee in Hawaii on my honeymoon. I still remember that  awesome coffee 25 years later.  I’ve even bought the brand since, but it’s not the same.   Must have been the water on the island.   My truth?  I don’t drink it much anymore due to acid reflux.  DRAT.   Truly, that cup o’joe is such a comfort, isn’t it?
