 Hey guys It is just before lunch on Sunday, and we are headed home as I said in last week's vlog It is so cute when I was crocheting and stuff At my brother-in-law's house When things were busy or tense or you know, you know, I mean it's therapy for me I'll know that It's so cute because they have a few granddaughters three granddaughters and all three of them came up and asked what I was doing and They I gave them all a little Granny Square thing to take home with them one of the mom's crochets. So I said here take this your daughter wants a piece and You can add to it and make a blanket just keeps crocheting on it and make you can make a bigger and bigger bigger I said if you have any questions call me So that was really cute unexpected part of this weekend I did end up coming home with a bunch of his mom's sewing stuff and I did find an unexpected ball of yarn in her stuff Which I'll put a picture here and I already started crocheting with the yarn. I'm gonna add The pieces I make with it to some kind of blanket or something at some point But yeah, it was a good weekend but a sad weekend so as it always is when you have to do something like this, right? Anyway, all right, that's it for the minute. I'll be back. Hey guys. It is Monday March 11th 11 o'clock 6 a.m We have the grand dog because I don't even know what I vlogged yesterday It's been one of those kind of a couple of weeks. Anyway, we met up with the kids on the way home from California and We took the dog because the two of them Baby and the dog is a lot so for a 10 hour drive. So anyway, we took the dog So we're gonna bring her home this afternoon. In the meantime, you can hear the washing machine We've got loads and loads of laundry and things to put away. I got a lot of it done. It's not all done But we got a lot of it done My mother-in-law or somebody that she knew I don't know who And she's not here to ask anymore. We're just sad evidently did embroidery because we brought some things home and We are gonna hang them on a wall here I also found Her cookbook notes, so I'm gonna go through that when I have a chance and scan a bunch of stuff for everybody But anyway, it's a lot And there's still more stuff to take care of in California and Bob's gonna be in Pretty much constant communication with his brother about that so There were loads and loads of photo albums, so we took some home So anyway There's a lot to do today kind of Before tomorrow when he goes back to work and I start babysitting again, so We're gonna try to get a lot of it done We'll see. I'll be back. I don't think I've filmed anything yet today It's a babysitting day, so there's that it's almost six o'clock I think and Junior went home a while ago. I just got the little bit of vlog footage. I have edited So that's done. I'm putting a few randomness pieces away and Hang on one second Okay, one of the things I've inherited is my mother-in-law's old sewing machine, which is an old all-metal singer machine I Don't know the date on it right off. I Guess by looking at it the 1960s sometime. It's an old singer Spartan 327 See if there's a date in here Which I'll have to Google it. It might be older than I think If you all know put it down in the video description, but there you go I'm guessing it's a good old workhorse, so I'm gonna give it some love and attention and This will be staying in the family. I don't really need another sewing machine, but I have a feeling I might love this one, so anyway That's pretty cool I also inherited a whole bunch of sewing needles and as I told my husband last night I probably don't need any for the rest of my life hand sewing needles because this is now I have a lot of them But yeah, this is pretty cool Even got the owner's manual. I haven't used a machine like this in a very long time, so That ought to be interesting. I'll be back. I just googled it and this beautiful piece of machinery was made between 1960 and 1965 in Scotland Heck yes, I'm keeping it. I hope she works Alright, so that will be a project to clean the machine and thankfully there's some instructions in the manual So I'm sure there's a video out there somewhere on YouTube It's the kind of thing that I don't know if I trust to take it in somewhere I'm sure there's some trustworthy professionals out there And I know one sewing machine repair place here in town in Oregon where I live, but I think unless I have to I'd rather not All right What do you all think? I'll be back. One of the few good things about spring forward. It's still light out when Bob gets off at work, so We're gonna go for a walk Baby sitting here and all. Yes, this is What it looked like after baby sitting day It ain't pretty, but what are you gonna do? All right I'll be back. Hey guys, it is Wednesday March 13th, I think 1202 p.m. Just after lunch we are headed though before we have lunch To the post office to mail off our tax returns because that's got to happen We have about a month to get them back and get them filed and Pay I'm assuming we have to pay we always have to pay anyway So we're gonna go do that. I'll check the PO box over there. I've got the paperwork. I've got tape. I've got a pen Mr. Bob's grabbing his phone and Go get that done as quickly as possible. I'll be back home for the day. Yes. I still have baby sitting here No jewelry and I smell like spit up But I'm gonna go for a walk He was a lot I love him, but he was a lot So we're gonna go get some steps now and Then go home take a shower put on some pajamas and spend the rest of the day Having a cup of tea and relaxing. I have to bring some stuff down from upstairs for tomorrow and then Tomorrow I have the dentist at one o'clock and then afterwards. I'm gonna go run and get everything else We need for dinner family dinner It's all good I'll be back. Oh, by the way, I filmed a video clip that you've already seen you don't know why I have it in there So those are all my leftover yarn scraps and ends. I don't throw any of them away and I'm planning on as I was doing cutting them up Doing my best to sort of shred shred them. I wish there was an affordable fabric shredder but anyway, and then we're to use them for stuffing of amigurumi or pexy puffs or something So anyway, I'll be back. Okay between COVID at Thanksgiving my dad Passing out at the table at Christmas Long story don't ask. Anyway And everything else that's happened this little path is A big loop, but I don't remember exactly where it comes out Or what's on the other side because I don't it's been a while So we're gonna go see I'll be back.

Anyway We're gonna do some cleaning and rearranging this weekend Because it's time to purge a couple of closets, but also because we brought some of Bob's mom's stuff home So I'll keep you posted how that goes, but I had to stop and get a few supplies for that So I think the daughter when she comes over they're gonna be going through her boxes of her old baby toys I think she's thinking we have a lot of old randomness toys and not a lot of American Girl doll stuff She's greatly underestimating how much American Girl doll stuff. She has just FYI Anyway, all right, I'll be back Bob is upstairs finishing up some vacuuming we The film the footage you just saw is us driving into downtown Portland to the Expo Center and we went to the hot rod show which was a lot of fun and Then we went and ran a couple of errands And then we came home and we had a couple chores on the list to do this weekend Did not really think we'd get them all done today, but we did so we put some family mementos Whoops up on top of the cabinets those three canisters right there and even the rusty one Those were my grandmother's a wedding gift when she got married. She's been gone for a while now. So Pretty cool. Anyway, there's a few things from Bob's mom those in particular So we got them up there on the shelves We'll put some greenery or something up there at some point, but for right now, that's good We also cleaned out the storage closet upstairs, which had tax returns going back to 2007 So Yeah anyway We're both cooped now and we have a pile of stuff in there in the hallway that's got to go away somehow So anyway, and I see more lint on the floor and it's but it's a beautiful warm sunny day here yay All right, I'll be back else.
