Retirement, More then just a Nap


Sandy and Cattie love snuggling together. They are our two oldest cats and they are the ones who spend time snuggling. All the other animals stay seperate. Kind of like Congress.


I stayed home today. I was tired and headachy. Probably stayed up to late and too concerned about the election. I was surprised at how it went and happy. And with Rumsfeld gone, it looks like Bush got the message too. It was a nice day. I did chores and shopping and took a nap. Tonight I had to take Boy A to the organizer.





It was kind of a taste of what is to come. Though I will have to admit, that I would be pretty bored if all I did was chores and naps. I'm planning on helping teach reading at the local elementary school and working on quilts, boxes and knitting.





In fact I did two quickie boxes for charity auction at work. The had to be fast, since I didn't think about doing them till about 8:00 the night before. One turned out beautifully, I had a day by day calendar of scrapbooking stuff. It's made up of rectangles that can be cut for designs, or used to frame picture. One of them was just the right size for the box top and was dreamy looking and said "Once upon a time". I decoupaged it on the top of the box. Loved it.


The second, I used my new stamps (Peace, Love and Hope) and card stock paper. I think the modgepodge wicked into the prints a bit too much and it ended looking home made. I think I also need to try harder to get the corners square, the art centered, etc.





That's enough for now.
