Grandma Joke :)

Three old mischievous Grandmas
were sitting on a bench outside a Nursing home.

About then an old Grandpa walked

by, and one of the old Grandma's yelled out saying, 'We bet we can tell
exactly how old you are.'

The old man said, 'There's no way
you can guess it, you old fools.'

One of the old Grandmas said,
'Sure we can! Just drop your pants and under-shorts
and we can tell your exact age.'

Embarrassed just a little, but anxious to prove they couldn't do it, he
dropped his drawers.

The Grandmas asked him to first turn around a couple of times and to jump up and down several times.

Then they all piped up and said, 'You're 87 years old!

Standing with his pants down around his ankles, the old gent asked,

'How in the world did you guess?'

Slapping their knees and grinningfrom ear to ear, all three old Ladies happily yelled in unison--

'We were at your birthday party yesterday!'

Black Hills South Dakota Part 2

I love art - almost any kind.  But wood and metal are probably my favorites.  Oh - and glass!  This metal horse is one of the first things we say on the street across from the restaurant our first evening in Hill City.  The artist used all different types of metal tools to make the parts of the horse.

Isn't it amazing?

Just down the street where two guys making wood sculptures using chainsaws and grinders.

How do they do that?

Bath Puffs & Dish Cloths

It's not really the right season for crocheting scarves, hats and afghans, so I thought I would try something new.
Purchased a bunch of 100% cotton yarn and going to sell the bath puffs and dish cloths on Artfire to try and raise some money to purchase more yarn for the scarves/hats/afghans that I donate to the shelters in the city.

Haven't got them listed yet... need a few more hours in the day :)
But they are fun too do :) The orange bath puff is HUGE!
If you are interested in anyone of the above - just send me an email.

Black Hills South Dakota Part 1

It so happened that hubby had last week off because he started a new job today.  Last Tuesday we decided that it would be nice to get away for a few days, since we don't know when he will have holidays again.  Hubby has never been to the Black Hills, it's a one day drive, so that's where we went.  It takes 11 hours to drive to Hill City SD, where we managed to find a hotel after 2 hours of phoning hotels/motels on Tuesday. 


We left Thursday morning at 7:30am, the border only opens at 8 so we couldn't leave earlier.  Arrived in Hill City just in time for dinner :)  We took the shortest route, which actually meant very little interstate driving.  Never saw so many rolling green hills and cows in my life!!!  There was a 100 mile stretch where we met 7 other vehicles, saw NO yards/houses/civilization, only hills and cows.


Here are some views of Hill City, I took them in the early morning when we went for breakfast - no one else is up at 6:30am :)

There was a thunder storm the first night we were there, 3 storms the 2nd day and one the 3rd evening. None of them lasted more than 30 minutes thank goodness! It's hard to site see in the rain.


This is our truck parked in front of the restaurant the last evening we were there. You can't see the pea size hail that was also falling. Really felt for the people on motorcycle!  Check out the water behind the tires of the Jeep.  It was just running down the street!

I will post more photo's of some of the sites in the next installment :)
Have a wonderful day!!
