Greetings to all. Was your week uneventful? The older I get, that's what I hope for. I hope yours could be described as good, at the very least.
Where the heck do you find long skinny shipping boxes? If they are long enough, they are way too large everywhere else. I made one for the sampler on board I am selling, it wasn't easy, and I don't want to do it again. But what if I want to mail a few of these? I am tired of having to explain the gonad gourds to visitors who look at them cautiously as if they are dried bull parts. Hanging them on my exterior door was causing traffic to slow.
I think I may ask a few shops if they want to buy the gourds. I gave the others away last time but paid a decent price for these. Too bad I don't have any shops close by!
When I pulled out a pie plate to stuff our excess tomatoes (garlic, basil, seasoned bread crumbs, Parmesan, Italian pepper, olive oil),
I found these sweet little Pyrex with the ruffled rim. They are vintage and perfect for little pies, as long as I don't have to share. This little 6" plate is one piece for me. The 7" with handles I may be willing to share. I missed out on elderberry season this year, my favorite pie.
Going out in a little while to ride a cart around 18 holes, searching for husband's flip phone. Yes, flip phone. He refuses technology. On the way home we'll stop for a DQ blizzard for Carole. Her stomach is so very sore so maybe a frozen treat will help temporarily.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Thanks for visiting.

On shipping boxes: I put a long one in the recycle bin this morning and it's gone. Once my husband ordered a belt and it came in a a long shipping box. Surely there is a site online somewhere that sells boxes. We should ALL INVEST in CARDBOARD now that everything comes in boxes.
Too bad we don't live closer Marly. I would buy your gourds, I love them. It is super hard to find them out here. The summers are generally too cool, Lucky Carole, when I was very sick form hydrocodone with knee replacement, I lived on blizzards. I'm still getting rid of the pounds that caused!!
Tell the looky-loos that these are the sad remains of boyfriends past.
Your tomatoes look delicious and as for the DQ.......that sounds delicious. Hope Carole enjoys it.
Love the gourds.........
The week here has been boring to say the least.
I hope your weekend is enjoyable and uneventful.

I am glad that I am not alone in hoping for uneventful weeks. I love those little pie plates.
My week was not fun with diabetic complications...but I seem to be getting on track again...sigh...pretty soon I'll only be able to eat grilled chicken and berries...anyway, shipping is my least favorite thing to do...and I don't have crazy gourds to pack...hoping the blizzard does the trip...pickup extras for the freezer or buy a large and split it into containers at home, can you tell I've done this before? hoping it's uneventful from here on out! also Wendy's is having a 50c frosty sale...
Sounds as though you are getting back into the
routine swing of things...good luck on the flip
phone ~ Hoping the blizzard promotes Carole's
progress and that you get your share of them
this weekend...cool and smooth and soothing...
What pounds? Enjoy!
