Trying To Stay Home

What could that mean, "Trying to stay home."?  Well, Joel's office is close by and he owns the company, so he comes home when he isn't busy and has a chance to.  He throws a "wrench in my wheel", as the saying goes, when he comes home and wants to do something with me.  This week I had plans of getting things together to post on Craig's List and ebay.  Needless to say, I'm not getting as much done each day as I originally had planned.  But, Joel and I have had fun being together.  I finally got some furniture and misc. stuff on Craig's list and will post things on ebay this weekend. I did get pictures taken and I already sold an antique vanity with a headboard.  Cute, isn't it!?!  She got a deal.  

I saw a Childs Bentwood Rocker exactly like mine on ebay for $275.00 plus $90.00 shipping!!! 

Mine is a steal at $125.00 I think. 

Wanna go sledding?  This is an oldie!!!!!!

No, these are not the windows my husband installs!! They are the ones he REMOVES!!!

Yesterday Joel ran some errands with me and I wanted to get bananas for my "almost World famous Banana-Walnut-Chocolate Chip Bread". But 4 bananas weighed in at almost 2# and at .69 a pound, no way.  See, I make at least 2 double batches at a time.  So while we were at Wholsesome Choice, I asked the produce man if they sell bags of old bananas for a dollar or 2.  He said I could have a case for $3.00!!! Now that's a deal.  This morning after a good work-out at the gym, I sat and peeled and bagged over 90 bananas.

And here is the finished product.  40 loaves of Yummy Banana-Walnut-Chocolate Chip Bread.

Plus, there are 5 bags of peeled bananas in the freeze ready when I decide to spend another day baking.  That will give me another 50 loaves!!!!!  And just think, I don't eat it!!!!!!!

My Missionary Son, Derek will be home in 15 days and he LOVES my bread.  I know he will be happy to see one of the freezers loaded!!!!!!!!

I love to bake.  It makes me happy when people tell me it is "so good".  I'm happy today!!!
