Marian and I went to some thrift stores and we had a marvelous time. This hat was awesome.
I don't know that I mentioned our freezer died. I am assuming that being on the back porch and losing power multiple times (either due to a neighborhood wide outage or the outlet shorting out) had something to do with it. But the freezer did stop actually freezing, and I was sad. I was at the store for something else and saw that freezers were on sale, so we took advantage.
And to prevent future unexpected power losses due to outlets shorting out, I purchased this waterproof cover from Amazon. I had grand designs to install it myself, but discovered that the covers already installed were incompatible. I emailed the Housing Office who told me I had to fill out some form, but then they sent workers over. The workers looked at it and then installed it for me. Yay! So now I have a freezer keeping my Turkey frozen till Thanksgiving.
Rylee has a little too much fun with my phone.
My new favorite shirt.
I decided I am going to make a T-shirt quilt. I have tons of race shirts that I never wear because they never actually fit. So I have begun the complicate process of figuring out the best way to do this.
I made my first purchase with what I like to call, "The Sandy Fox Legacy Fund". I have been coveting furniture like this for years, and could not justify spending the amount of money necessary to make it become mine. With Mom's life insurance, I decided I could. So now every time I walk by my gorgeous cabinet and cute chest of drawers, I am thrilled- because I still love them so much, and because I think of Mom when I look at them.
It is always fun when every phone in the house goes off with an emergency alert. It is even better when you remember that there is a practice drill happening. There was an earthquake drill that morning, but apparently the sirens were only suppose to go off for 2 minutes.... not 40!
