God Bless America.

Today, I dedicate to all the lives lost in the Twin Towers on
9/11..

Being born in L.I., New York..this terrible day hit home..My husband's brothers worked on the buildings when they were being built..There were many stories I had heard that have left a hole in my heart..May we never forget all the innocent lives that were lost this day..Workers, tourist, fireman, policeman and the list goes on...
Never take anything for granted..God Bless America..

More From The Old Magazines..

Two little Greek children doing their folk dance..A young Russian lace maker and a Needlewoman from Spain..The pictures are so nice and something different to look at..

Then we have the neat phone..Can you picture people using that today..?
They are very heavy, I have a younger model and let me tell you, your hand gets tired holding the thing..

























This is a beautiful collar you can make..and I think it really was popular in its time..I know this, it took a great deal of work to make..
Well, that is some of the pictures from the magazines of the 30ies..Of course there is so much more, but my picture taking is lousy and can't show the real beauty..

Roof Is Finished..

Well, the roof is done..My son-in-law did such a beautiful job..He would come out on days off from work, just to do this for us..There is still the deck to change, but that will be done in the spring..Our concern is winter and snow sliding off the roof..now we don't have to worry..He built it so strong, you could ride a truck up there..The first three pictures, he needed help with the ice/water paper..It is very sticky..So hubby/daughter helped him..Wouldn't get me up there, even though it isn't that high..Yesterday the shingles were finished..I bet some are wondering what all the white is. Six tons of pellets for our pellet stove, they will be moved in the barn..Another daughter/son-in-law/grandkids will help with that job..
Well, that is the porch so far..are we pleased..

Shadow Shot Sunday..How I Just Love This Day..

Hey Harriet and Shadow Shot Sunday is one of my favorite days. My solar lantern made a nice shadow...and now you can all see my wash on the line shadow..tell me that isn't different? I thought it was kind of nice..I really should have hung the clothes better, maybe a little more organized..but when I hung them, I didn't realize they would be one of my shadows..Now is the deck shot..I call this, "A tree grows in Maine"...the shadow is good, but the rose bush growing up through the deck is a problem..haven't got the heart to chop it down..Well, my dear Hey Harriet, this has been a fun day and I thank you for letting me join in..and you know I will be back..if you don't ban me.

Golden Angel..

Simchieinspires has sent me this angel, she is for everyone..I just picked her up for all to see..

I alway think of a true story, told to me, about children sitting on the edge of their seats, in school..When asked why were they sitting like that?..They replied," We're leaving room for our Guardian Angel.".
We could learn so much from children..


Thank you Simchieinspires..for letting me share this beautiful
angel on my blog.
picture was taken by solvarm-tillbakaigetborg..thank you Simchieinspires for introducing another wonderful blog.

Blue Angels..

Now here is something I think is beautiful..The Blue Angels..The Navy's precision flying team...They will be at the Brunswick Naval Air Station this weekend, here in Maine..I can not tell you the thrill in seeing them ..but I had a bigger thrill one year. I was outside, on the side of our house and heard a roar...and there they were in the Delta Formation, right over my yard..Talk about
being frozen in time..I couldn't move..It was the most exciting thing and was so happy to witness this wonderful team going over my property..Every time they come back to Brunswick, I am hoping they make another practice run..
Just so you know, I will be in and out of the house all weekend, just keeping a watchful eye on the sky...

Steam Devils.

This is something I never heard of and thought you would all enjoy reading about..
Went to one of my favorite sites, Space Weather, to see what was new..Well, take a look at this picture. The photo is taken by Mike Hollingstead in Iowa..called a "steam tornado".
This "steam tornado" happens when the water is warm and the air is cold..Isn't it interesting?
Space Weather has the neatest information and most beautiful pictures.
We have seen "sea smoke" many times, but never anything like this..Always fun to learn something new..you can go to the site and read all about it.

Daughter's Yard

Our twin grandchildren had their 7th birthday yesterday..so we were off to a party..These are pictures of my daughter's garden and the wonderful tree house, her husband made..They live by a little inlet, which I was hoping to get a few shots of wonderful birds..no such luck..Anyway, took a few pictures of her yard..Flowers are almost over for the year, but you can see how beautiful her garden was..Every one of our girls have beautiful gardens..and they didn't get that gift from me..so much for genes..

Shadow Shot Sunday.,

Our Dear Hey Harriet, has her Shadow Shot Sunday..which I look forward to every week..but I do think I am starting to get carried away with it...I was taking this turtle all around the yard, getting shadows..of course talking to him as we traveled together..then I would get a hold of myself and make sure the neighbors were not watching..if he was real would be one thing, but chatting with a yard ornament..So, I put him down in a hurry and caught the tree shadow..trying to act dignified again..
Check out Hey Harriet's blog, she has started this idea and it is really catching on.
There are really beautiful pictures of shadows that everyone takes..

Inside The Magazines..

Here are a few pictures inside the Magazines from the 30ies..The patterns for dresses are quite interesting..Hair do is the finger wave style..

The gowns are really quite lovely..In all honesty, with a little nip and tuck here an there, could be todays style..

The kitchen is interesting and they have sure changed .The funny part is, I have a sink and stove just like it

in the barn.
The cabinet looks like a hoosier cabinet and have one of them in the kitchen..that didn't come with this house..something I had..Anyway, all of this is really fun to see and I hope you enjoyed it..Will check out other pages as time goes on..

Fingerprint Friday..

Pampering Beki started this Fingerprint Friday theme and it makes you aware of so much..
Now here is a Fingerprint from God, we sometimes take for granted..Corn.. I forget what a gift this vegetable is..Not only tasty, but used for corn syrup, corn starch, cereals, fuel, corn husk dolls and the list goes on.. You can keep planting it in the same field, year after year, which you can't do with many other vegetables..This wonderful food is really a fingerprint if you think about it. I have to give credit to the American Indians for sharing their wonderful knowledge and this beautiful gift..
Every week, I thank Pampering Beki for having Fingerprint Friday..it makes you see so many things to be thankful for..Check out her blog and join in..

Fun Find..

Was looking in my trunk for magazines and forgot I put these in there..
They are magazines from the 30ies that we found in the barn. The first is a classy lady and then the others are pictures of woman/men from different countries..Greece, Russia,France, Ireland and Argentina/Spain..
Aren't they beautiful?
As time goes on,will take pictures of some of the things inside these magazines..I know everyone will enjoy seeing a little of the past..Fashion, advertisements, patterns and a recipe or two..
