I dreamed of my garden. I was picking peppers and cucumbers which in real life I hadn't grown this past season. I remember being pleasantly surprised and thinking, wow, we have peppers and cukes!!! I will have to plan a spot for these next year.
Maybe I dreamed about produce because I cleaned our refrigerator's veggie bin last night. :)
For the record, I'm also planning on adding spaghetti squash next year. I've been hooked ever since my friend shared one from her garden with me several weeks ago.
I have all the longer pieces of quarter round trim installed in the living room. I still have to work on cutting the smaller lengths and working the corners. If you ever install quarter round and you have access to an automatic hammer, I suggest you use it. I'm doing this by hand and its tricky trying not to bang the trim up. We're still working on the transition from the living area to the kitchen. We noticed a bump last night so we may just take the floor up in that area and see if we can level the floor better.
I'm going through baking withdrawal. I dropped my Kitchen Aid off for a tune up and oil change. With the holidays coming, I needed to get this done sooner rather than later. Of course after I dropped it off, I had the urge to bake something. It won't be ready until next Monday.
I saw a soup commercial where this woman is happy she fits into her wedding dress. This inspired me. I still have my dress, cleaned and box sealed. I had kept it thinking I'd have daughters one day, but that wasn't meant to be. Now I should make it my goal to get back into it and have an anniversary portrait done. I'm about 4 sizes away from this and it will probably take me a year or two, but its a goal I will have to visualize to help me get there.
More nostalgia, I found our 8mm camcorder and several tapes from when the boys were little guys. Its bitter sweet. I wish I would have recorded way more, especially of son #2. I'm the baby of my family, and I always had noticed there wasn't many photos of me. You would think I would have known better and taped more of DS11. Now the goal is to get what footage we do have onto the computer so we can burn discs. The old camcorder is on its last leg.

A good goal, but don't forget that a future DiL might be interested in your wedding gown... you never know! A great winter project, getting those tapes on the computer. We handed our films over to our oldest and most computer literate son.... the project has not even been started and it's been at least two years. I think we will need to hold the memories in our hearts - the films will probably fade away.
I like your goal to fit back into your wedding dress, it's motivating. You may not have any daughters but you will have a daughter in law or maybe a niece would like to wear it, you never know. Good luck with putting the videos on discs, that will be a fun project.
Where did you drop off your Kitchen Aid for a tune up? Mine is in desperate need of servicing!
Kiefer's Appliance repair in Monona. I was so excited to find some place, some what local. I couldn't ever see shipping my baby away. http://www.kieferappliance.com/
I'll let you know how they do. It should be ready by Monday.
Sounds like a great dream about gardening. I would love to grow regular cukes and heirloom variety next year, I love the one that look more rounded and yellow. They are soo good.
What a great find to have old movies, I always wished we had movies and not just pictures. I love when my kids record something on the camera, I try to save it so I will preserve their voice forever. Kids just grow up too fast.
I hope your Ktichen Aid runs like new when it comes back, my mil had one for 20yrs before she passed away. She loved it and never could get rid of the old one because it ran so good. I hope to get one next year sometime. It would make baking so much easier
We like spaghetti squash too. :o) Mighty tasty!:o) I hope your gardening is a success next year!:o)
Regarding your wedding dress, I never did get my sealed. I am guessing it's too late to do it now. Will have to check on it. :o) An anniversary picture in your dress sounds like a neat idea. :o)
Several years ago, I had all of my mom's films transferred to VHS. Sadly, the tape I have is already messing up. :o( With Alex, I have some VHS that needs transferred to CD, but thankfully most of our videos of her are digital. I have just got to get them on CD in a nice format. I started arranging it this spring, but haven't finished.
Keep working on that floor!:o) You are doing a great job! Not sure if I'd have the patience. I'm sure I'd bang up more than the molding. lol
