Playing Catch-Up

I might just start with the oldest stuff first, before I forget it again! Here's a fun tea towel a friend gave me:

Another funny from a local store:

The same store had this metal sign, selling for about $35! We have some old metal roofing lying around in the pasture. I could easily paint some of these up and take them to the market. If they don't sell? Hang them on the porch :)

I kept knitting fingerless gloves. This first pair has a mistake in the cabling on the right hand glove. Can you find it?

This next pair has no cabling. It's the "Whelk Pattern."

At a gift shop, a friend found these napkins and said, "You should paint that."

So I did.

Then I did another similar one.

A dear friend gave me yet another oil infuser. I LOVE the bottle. Isn't it pretty?

A few more cards painted recently:

And a photo of the most adorable person I know!!

LOOK at those wonderful cheeks! I want to kiss them.

Lastly, I will talk about my innards. Adam and I are perpetually attempting  some plan that will help us lose weight again as we did once before. It may be a futile desire, but we will try! Now we're attempting the "boredom" method of eating: Eat the same thing over and over until you're bored of it. Then keep eating it indefinitely because you will certainly eat smaller and smaller servings of it until at last you lose weight. (Don't laugh! People do this method!) Here is a typical dinner of late:

brown rice, beans, spinach, broccoli,

 a little onion and cheese

Adam may hope that I'll tire of this "rice bowl," but I won't. I don't bore with the same-old music, clothes, TV shows, or food. This food is so healthy, high fiber, low sugar, high minerals. What I like best is that after I eat it -- say, an hour later -- I feel so good. My innards feel good, my gut. After sugar, I feel horrible, and after too many carbs I feel worse. But after fiber? Ahhh -- life is lovely.

In addition, eating like this is inexpensive. Sometimes he'll put some grilled chicken breast in there instead of beans. Or we'll do more beans but no rice. I adore spinach! I sprinkle a little white wine vinegar on it, and it's better to me than ice cream. I think my body craves iron.

I don't know that we'll lose weight; that's hard at our age. But we can hardly help being more healthy in the end. I'll let you know how it goes.
