What's Become of the Jack-o-Lantern...

I baked the pumpkin for over an hour at 350, but it never really got soft. It should still be edible, but I'm betting the consistency is weird. I think from now on, I'll make pie out of canned pumpkin and enjoy our "pumpkin lanterns" until they get shriveled and buggy.

Grandma's Things

This is a little display I made of a few things that belonged to my dad's mother. I never knew her...she died when my dad was a young man. Look at the cool metal compact and lipstick tube! They still have makeup in them. Goodness knows what bacteria is flourishing in there! She made the doilies and doll dress, and I'm not sure about the handkerchief. It looks more like something store-bought. Maybe my dad bought it for her for a gift? I love the little brownie camera. Boy, have we come a long way from those things!

I wish I could have known her here, but I know that I will meet her someday, and she will laugh at me for displaying her old stuff!

Without Data, You're Just Another Person with an Opinion

I have known M&M for years online. She created this mug and lots of other cute things that she sells HERE. I love this mug, mostly because occasionally I work collecting data for testing new products. It justifies my paycheck! Yeah. I'm a bit of a geek. *grins* Anyway, it looks like I'm going to be starting another one of those tests in a week, so after this next week I won't be blogging for a while. I'll try to touch back when I can, but I'll be very busy. I'm sad because I feel like I'm beginning to make some new friends here, and I love reading your blogs. I will be back though!

Potter fans, be sure to check out M&M's "Hairy Pawter" and "Dogwarts Obedience School" stuff. Very clever!
