The Broom

There are memories we all have of our childhood and as I look back through really old pictures of me (just had a birthday lately and I do feel old..lol) and I found one that brings back such good memories.  

In 1958, when I was 3 years old, my Mom was a Sunday School Teacher and I would go with her and spend the day.   My task, was to sweep up the class room when she was done.  I honestly think it was her way of keeping me busy and out of her way while she did her thing...lol.

In this picture, I am 3 and the broom is a big as I am.  I remember this and I smile big when I think of how I struggled with that broom and trying to hold it like my Mom showed me.   The only way I could accomplish that was to sweep the floor toward me.  All that dust was at my feet and that was not the way it was when my Mom did it...But I was determined and it was my job...lol

I apologize for the condition of the photo, but I just could not use any other remake or copy.  This is the original and it has a lot of meaning to me.  Good memories!!


Please stop by The Hen's Den blog and see the wonderful work from our other design team members.  Leave us a note and let us know that you were there.  Please follow them, if you like.
Have a grand day and I hope to see you soon

I feel old...lol

Living in Washington State, you have to take advantage of every sunny day there is.   So, this weekend was sunny for 2, count them, 2 days in a row.. WOW... I spent so much of the time bent over weeding and pruning and planting, I woke up this morning feeling like I had ages 10 years.  

It was all worth it, the yard is in awesome shape, plants have great color and bloom, so the only thing I am waiting on now is the garden to catch up with the time of year.   I wonder if I will be able to can my veggies this year or if we will run out of "summer" before I get the chance.

Over this past weekend, other things went very well and AWESOME...  We now have an additional desiger, Carla Oliveira.   We have followed her for a while and we just could not pass up the chance to offer her an opportunity to design for The Hens' Den.   SHE ACCEPTED!.   You really need to check out her blog and see the wonderful work that she does.   http://carlascuriouslycraftychaos.blogspot.com/.   You will be amazed.  We are so lucky and honored.   Stop by her blog and leave her a note or two.

Have a grand day!!!!!
