Late post today as we spent the afternoon visiting with friends from our old neighbourhood. They are planning a new kitchen too and wanted to see our kitchen close-up.
I love vintage magazines. The odd time I see them at yard sales I grab them. These four are from the late 1950's and early 1960's. These are the oldest women's magazines I have. I have a couple National Geographic's from the 1930's. Excuse the gaping open cupboard. I think Chuck was checking something with the plumbing under the sink!
I find these old fridge containers very useful. I use them for cotton fluffs, q-tips, make-up.......
The Heroes Highway Ride took place on Saturday with The National Air Force Museum of Canada here in Trenton being the starting point. Hundreds of bikers participate and it is a sight to see. The ride's purpose is to raise money for Wounded Warriors.ca a charity that directly assists soldiers injured during military operations.
This was the sunset a few nights ago. I just happened to look out the front window and this is what I saw. I grabbed the camera and took a couple pictures. Within a few minutes it was gone.
It has been a busy weekend with railings painted, eavestrough cleaned and the garage rearranged. My Mom is coming for a visit in a few weeks so we want to have everything looking nice. I hope everyone had a pleasant weekend. Take care.

Jeepers, you had a busy weekend! Very productive, bet it felt great. Funny how there's always a mad rush for cleaning, etc., when family visits--particularly a parent. At least it is that way for me!
ReplyDeleteThe old magazines would be interesting. I'll bet the topics are essentially the same, in spite of the passage of the decades. :-)
I don't know why I am so fussy with cleaning the house when my Mom comes. I doubt she really cares. She teases me about being so tidy as I was not a very tidy kid.
DeleteI enjoy the old magazines. The recipes are good and the fashions and decorating are sometimes strange but it makes for interesting reading.
Pouring rain here today so I am glad we cleaned the eaves troughs yesterday!
I always clean extra good when visitors are coming too. I think most of us do. : )
ReplyDeleteWhen mom used to visit I did it extra extra good because she would point things out to me that I missed.
My Mom isn't the tidiest person so I doubt she notices! Hope you have had some nicer weather to work at HappyTrails!
