Picture Perfect women at work

creativity, Odds and ends, work

We worked together making cards and other items for people in nursing homes, those in the military, and special needs people.

Quilts are also part of the projects these women make. I’m not as handy with a sewing machine, so I stick to paper projects. I can handle a scissors, a stapler, and a glue stick.

A potluck was held mid-day, which as always, was tasty.

I bowed out a little early as my dog Stella needed to be taken out for her mid-day walk.

Picture Perfect is held yearly, except when the pandemic interfered with the gathering. Hopefully that will never happen again.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Yardwork intrigues Stella

Stella, Susan, work

Before the heat did me in today, I took out my battery-operated weed whacker and took it around the yard.

During this time, Stella sat, tied under a tree, and watched me work.

During her next time in her dog fence, Stella had to check out my weed whacking work.

I have to keep an eye on Stella. She loves to dig holes in her yard. It’s another fun activity for her, but not for me.

Volunteers working

fun, work

Today I joined a group of ladies from the Outagamie County Extension Service.

There were multiple work tables being used. I was at a table recycling calendars. After cutting the calendars apart, we slipped the pictures into sleeves, making flip picture books for special needs people.

The above photo shows our work in progress.

This photo shows where small pictures are clipped. Many will be glued to make homemade greeting cards.

It’s good to get out of the house and work on projects like this.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

A little spring cleaning

Columns, Family, work

This spring cleaning job took place in 1990. I wrote about these happenings in my April column that year.

My spring cleaning isn’t so adventurous any longer. I’m lucky if I wash a few windows.

When the weather is warmer, I intend to spend my time outside, enjoying the sunshine.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

With both feet

Columns, Family, work

Here’s a 1990 column about home repairs. This time it was my project and not Bob’s

I remember some of the work done in our house. Mostly I remember being tired after working hard.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
