It looks like I have lots of hair!

Even I can do a sock bun! Thanks pinterest!  I found a great tutorial here! Check out Kaitlyn's tutorial, this one does not involve attempting to roll your hair around a sock.  So smart!

Impromptu lunch

Xman man and I were busy during our two hour lunch break today! We went to see Mama Pa at the bank, picked up a few necessities at Target, spray paint at Home Depot, and had Chick-fil-a for lunch. Even though it was 2pm on a Tuesday CFA was packed. So when I saw a green jeep outside, I looked inside and saw Chonte'! So Xman and I had lunch with Chonte' who had Ben to a movie an didn't know what she was doing next ... (sorry I was day dreaming) ... And we headed back to swim lessons! A big thanks to everyone in line at CFA so that I had time to see I could sneak Ina quick lunch with a great friend!

Blueberry pie

I had never really been a fan of blueberry pies until our last trip to the UP of Michigan ... which was probably 4 years ago ... so sad. Anyway on that trip our lovely friends stopped and bought a blueberry pie from a bakery in Paradise, MI. It was amazing! We each had a piece when we got back from the falls that day, and another piece the next morning as our breakfast, with coffee, of course. And of course we were sitting out on their deck chatting and looking at Lake Superior.

So I searched pinterest for blueberry pie recipes and choose this one based on the hold together aspect in the picture. And I liked that almonds were used to help thicken, instead if things that sound less tasty.



Thank you Hey, Lady Grey!

I did modify the recipe, because I didn't have a lemon, and therefore no zest. And I used a pie crust from the freezer section, because ... I didn't want to make the crust.

Barn star project

So I saw this little star on pinterest, and it seemed do simple. Make a star out of a cereal box? Yes! So, rustic is not really my thing, but I have been looking for something to go above my fireplace (in my frame that has been empty since Christmas). So in honor of July 4th here are my pics.

 Not too shabby.

I do need a more symmetrical star. 

And Xman did a great job painting one star which is wedged in the picture frame at this point also.
