Skywatch Friday

~ A spring storm brewing~

The picture was taken

from my back porch.

Oahu, Hawaii

The beauty of the heavens.

The sky is in constant motion and

I can spend hours just watching

the beautiful changes.

During a flight over the Pacific ocean, I was

amazed when I looked out at the clouds and the blue water.

Surprisingly, it momentarily made me feel upside down.

~I just couldn't get my heads out of the clouds~

Aprons,You just have to love them

My daughter gave me this one.

I love to wear it with jeans or a denim skirt

She also gave me this one with the roosters.


This one belonged to my Mother and
she wore it every day.

1940's Hostess apron

What a wonderful pattern.

I don't think our young generation know

what an apron is.

The principal use of Grandma's apron was to protect the

dress underneath, because she only had a few, it was easier to

wash aprons than dresses and they used less material, but

along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot

pans from the oven.

It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion

was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.

From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying

eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be

finished in the warming oven.

When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places

for shy kids.

And when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it

around her arms.

Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent

over the hot wood stove.

Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in

that apron.

From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the

peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls.

In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had

fallen from the trees.

When unexpected company drove up the road, it was

surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a

matter of seconds.

When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the

porch, waved her apron, and the men knew it was time to

come in from the fields to dinner.

Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the

window sill to cool.

The new generation would go crazy now trying to figure out

how many germs was on that apron.

I don't think I ever caught anything from an apron!

Home is where the heart is

A tribute to my Dad, He was a real cowboy.

The picture is of him riding in the rodeo.

As you can see, I collect western art. Love those cowboys.

My brother used old barn wood

to make the wooden box over the window


Yes, I am a born and raised Texan.

Hope you enjoyed your walk through
a little bit of Texas.

I have a brother who lives out of state
(moving back) that is a real cowboy.
Hope he brings his horses when comes back.
