Puttering Around

Well, its almost Winter, 14 more days from today,  So Last night I made Cookies" !    It was dark and Cold and had not Snowed yet so fired up the Oven !

.

.

My Favorite Cookie is the "Sugar Cookie", as a boy could not wait till Christmas because Mother made the Best !!!    We could Have Cookies and Milk almost every night the week before Christmas !!!

.

.

I made 2 dozen last night, took a few to the Neighbors and ate a "few" myself and gave my Honey one.

.

.

I took a couple Sugar Cookies to the Bank this Morning with me !    We are sitting in the Bank in the Mornings selling Raffle Tickets on Items for a Fund Raiser for our Church !  The Loons on the left are a Counted Cross Stich which my Honey did, t took her almost a Year to Make working on it in the evening !  There is a Pose Bed Spread, a Bucket of Chocolate, some women's cosmetics, 7 Items in all and we sold a lot of tickets !

Went outside and filled the Bird Feeders out front and out back and on the deck !

.

.

Finally found an Old "Banjo" I could afford, been saving for awhile and came across this Old Washburn 5 string a Lawyer had settling up an estate and  he didn't really know what it was or what it was worth or I never would have got it for what I got it for.  *Broke" Now so gotta start saving again.  (Another Blessing).   I have had a Banjo for years but traded it with some cash for another Guitar I just had to have !!!   Above is me in 2021 at 74 years old !!!

Above is a Picture of Me in 1974 with an Old Banjo which had a nice sweet Twang to it.   I played the Banjo and my Dad Played the Fiddle !!!

I have owned Mobile Homes, 1,2 3 and 4 Family Houses, worked on them doing minor repairs and upgrades except electrical which I will not do !  I wanted a shelf under this window so I googled how to do it,  and went at it this afternoon as I needed a window shelf in the basement for my Plants !   

.

I got a Masonary Drill Bit, Frogged Around measuring my shelf, marking the Brackets, drilling out the holes and inserting little plastic anchors and then screwing them into the cement wall.  It was very Hard Drilling the holes.  I did it this way so I could have the window open in the summer when it returns !

.

.

"Done",  finished project,  Nice shelf, This is the West Side window,  Hard to believe this is the first shelf I have ever put up on a concrete wall, found out it wasn't that Hard a Job.  I think "Jack" from "Shipslog"   Shipslog (shipslog-jack.blogspot.com)

would be Proud of this Old 1st Class Petty Officer and I might get a Bravo Zulu !!!!!   LoL !!!

.

.

This is the shelf I installed on the East Side of the Cellar that catch's the Morning Sun, I used inverted angle Iron,  "It Worked" and It holds Plants, memories and Guitar, Mandolin and Banjo an Dobro Strings !

Love my Peppermint Candy Canes !
