this photo was taken in december of 2010..and that following year was when it all started happening..I will tell you what set me on my journey..I went to the doctors for kidney stones and found out I had polycystic kidney disease that my mom passed to me and my big sister..(I had testing done when I was 22) and they told me I didn't have it..but my renal doctor in February of 2011 told me otherwise and I knew right then I needed to take better care of myself..and so it began..eating better..eating less..and walking..<br />

Hello there everyone..sorry its been so long since I last posted..I have been reading some of your blogs..but only lurking..haven't been on here much..I have been so busy this summer trying to get stuff done in our yard since that tree fell and the tree we had taken out..now racing against the weather to get it done so we can sit back and enjoy our work..I did however get my fall decor up..and on the first of October I will be putting up halloween.I tell you this month has just flown by..I stopped at rite aid a couple of weeks ago and picked up 3 mum plants..they are now out in the landscape getting their "sun" on...Here is what I did for my fall decorating.)<br />

okay this has been the busiest week I have ever had in my life and its going to continue again today..I painted the shed..the front and sides..hubby did the back..we still need to put the white finish trim up..(I painted them this week) and put up the lattice work..will share when its all done..I also painted the door and existing trim..oh it needed to be freshened up something fierce..the color is a bit deeper then the original barn red..oh I love it.;)I moved 2 truckloads of gravel into the open part of the shed yesterday and have 2 more to do today..then I am done..10 truckloads of stuff this week and I tell you gravel is the hardest to do..Yesterday was spent mopping floors, gravel for the shed..taking Tucker for his 2 mile walk..splitting more wood..raking leaves and pruning back some dead plants for fall..let me tell you it was a busy but invigorating day..:)I don't know where my energy is coming from..but I love it..I couldn't have done this 2 years ago..no way..wouldn't have had the strength or energy..would have had hubbys help...thats how good I feel now.;)<br />

Good morning everyone!!! TGIF..hope you all had a great week..the weather here has been glorious..yesterday and today are supposed to be in the 80's..not loving that so much..but can't complain we have had a gorgeous summer so far..Karen over at <a href="http://mycolonialhome.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-post-challenge-that-will-have-winner.html">My Colonial Home</a> posted a challenge on how we got our blog names etc.;)so here goes..back in February of 2008 I was approached by a gal by the name of Brenda Sanker of Rusty Creek primitives..now she is the Vintage Polka dot..we were apart of a group on Ebay and she had mentioned blogging..I had never heard of blogging so she got me started..she made me my header above..I had one without the hats too..she did a great job of getting me started and look at where I am now..<br />

I had always loved this sign and I love kittys and so Cat Nap Inn was born...I even had the garden gate as shown above..I love cats and love collecting cat stuff..and that pic above is in my living room..the primitives part of the name came from my love of primitives..while surfing the net and seeing your homes..I still love it..but now I am loving the farmhouse cottage thing too..so mixing them both up.;)Blogging has brought me so many wonderful friends..some I have yet to meet but I feel as though I have known you all in person..I love the generosity and the giving nature of the gals and guys I have met through blogging..I will say it has lost some of its lustre this past year..guess I am getting burned out..or maybe its the time of year..I do have my favs that I keep..I have parred down from the 30-50 that I read and have my favs..so that is how I got my name..<br />

some brown pumps also from payless..I also purchased a new purse and leg warmers too..(not shown) those were a previous purchase..I can't wait to get into the layering thing again..but I will hold off for as long as possible as I am enjoying the sunshine.or rainy days are coming..they are saying Monday at a 30% chance of it..I hope it holds off as we have lots more work to be done on the back yard..shed needs finishing and painting..<br />

Homemade Icecream<br />
Take a small zip lock baggie and fill with the following:<br />
1 cup half and half or heavy cream<br />
3 TBS of sugar<br />
1/2 tsp of vanilla and zip it shut<br />
take a big one gallon zip lock baggie and fill it will about 4-5 cups of ice and 2/3-3/4 cup of rock salt put the smaller baggie in this one and zip up the big one and have them toss it back and forth molding it etc to mix it up..takes about 10-15 minutes..if its still too soft add more ice and rock salt..then give them a spoon and they can eat it out of the baggie..turns out really good.;)<br />
okay will be back later in the week to update you all hopefully with some fun stuff..<br />
have a safe and happy labor day..;)Cat Nap Inn Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04089694413969995302noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7841679284012330328.post-43403055566112722822012-08-28T10:57:00.000-07:002012-08-28T10:57:11.814-07:00WhaT I haVe BeeN uP to ThiS PaSt WeEk.:)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

behind that fir tree to the left we will put up the dog kennel that we no longer use..you can see it to the right of the photo..any way we will stock it full of wood and then find other places to put it..we have about 12-14 cord of wood..its starting to feel like fort knox around here..heck I might be able to make a log cabin with all this wood...lol..:)these shots are takin from the upper deck of the garage...<br />

you can see our shed has a new roof and addition to it...we have to haul off that wood leaning against the tree to the dumps..we have made almost 10 dump runs..but it feels good to get our home in order..yard and all..I love an organized and functioning home..when I watch hoarders..it just makes me shudder..I like being organized..oh and we are painting the shed a different color..we thought a sage green with red/burgandy trim would look nice..but the neighbors behind us have the same color only theirs is red with the green trim..so any suggestions?<br />

I also got my referral appt for my "skin" surgery..its on September 25th..with the plastic surgeon..he will tell me if my insurance will cover this or I pay out of pocket..they are looking at my arms and my legs..apparently just getting your arms done is the hardest one to get done..so we shall see..but I am excited to see if they will do it..well my hard work has paid off this week...I am down another pound..I am in the 140's now..so that is 93 total so far..wasn't looking to lose anymore..but if I do..then so be it..I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead..thanks as always for stopping by..I have a new blogging friend named Jeanne (she doesn't have a blog) but she has been following me..well she sent me a nice little care package that I can't wait to show you..all handmade by her..and I love it..I will take a photo of me modeling for my next post..take care and thanks for stopping by.;)<br />

Good Saturday Morning everyone!! I hope your weekend is off to a great start..ours is a bit cooler and overcast this morning..which I love..we have had some hot weather..okay it was about 80..but that is hot for us washintonians.;)its going to be cooler this week and hopefully today too..been taking Tucky for walks in the morning before the heat gets the best of us..and I have also been doing the treadmill too after our walks.. and it has all paid off..I finally hit my weight loss goal of 92 pounds!!!!! I have been struggling for like 2 months to get the last of it off..and I finally reached it today...I am doing the happy dance..<br />
we've been working in the yard and the fence is done on the one side..still need to do the other 2 sides.but that is the least of our worries right now. Now onto my title post..my little sister is the queen of couponing and saving money..( I wish I lived closer) cause I would be shopping with her all the time..well she calls me up and tells me what are the good deals and to go shopping at my local Rite Aid store...so on thursday I purchased the above (there was also candy) but is in a bowl downstairs)..I spent $29.07 and got $16.00 in ups rewards to spend another day..but I also used my ups rewards from a previous shopping trip earlier in the month and that was also $16.00..so my total was really only $13.07<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yAwSjVLTquE/UC_J1Jp4rHI/AAAAAAAAYkM/VwNoeqtG1Cg/s1600/101_1289.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yAwSjVLTquE/UC_J1Jp4rHI/AAAAAAAAYkM/VwNoeqtG1Cg/s320/101_1289.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
so yesterday I had $16.00 in ups to use and I had more shopping to do and was going to earn even more UP's rewards..which totalled this time of 32.00 in ups + rebates of 16.00 in a check that I will receive..so this total was $60.21..so my entire total was $89.28 ...but in actuality I only paid $25.28 for all of this..now I have till the end of the month to spend my $32.00..and you can do this every week..do you all have a Rite Aid in your area? I tell you its worth doing..the clorax with coupons were only 1.22 each..the makeup was buy one get one 1/2 off and the fish oil was buy one get one free..everything here minus the fish oil gave me an ups reward to use towards something else..I hope I haven't confused you..I know its still confusing to me when my sister walks me through it..I do love couponing and saving money where I can..and it is such a rush too.;)<br />

these are my bomber hats..I still need to put on the buttons on the flaps above the head..but that is it..they are so much fun to make..I did 4 yesterday..they are addicting like the owl hats..<br />

I changed up the trim on them now too..its called the crab stitch..and it adds a nice texture and look to these..I did it on 2 of them..and will continue to do it..I like the way its looks..again if anyone is interested in purchasing my hats please let me know your colors and size you would like..these are infants to adults..well hubby starts his vacation tomorrow..(offically on tuesday) but he is off on sundays and mondays..so he goes back on the 28th..and will still have another week probably in September to use..and use it we will..the fence is done..but we still need to do the other 2 sides..but they are up and the least of our worries right now..we have a shed to "jack" up and put on a lean too for our lawnmower and wood (building wood) supplies etc..so it stays dry this winter..more wood to cut and stack..a chimney to clean, a deck to power wash, sand and stain, a new roof for the shed..and maybe a day to go bumming around..but I am up for the task..its just another form of exercise for me now..and I love it..next friday I have a doctors appt to see about getting my "arm flab" removed..I am very selfconsious (?) about it and want it removed..so hoping to get it done..and with the flab on these gals..I might just lose another pound or 2..so thats my story and I'm sticking to it..I am hoping to go out on the boat today with my friend Michelle and getting "crabs" again and maybe salmon..then we are doing a big seafood fest tonight for dinner..she hasn't gotten ahold of me yet..so will wait and see..have a wonderful weekend and thanks as always for stopping by and saying hi...it always makes my day.:)<br />

TGIF everyone..hows it going my fellow blogging friends? how was your week? our weather was at better temps then it was last week..only in the mids 70's which is still a wee bit hi..we are good at 70...but can't complain as we are able to go out and work in it and enjoy the weather..we don't get much of a summer around here so it is nice when we do..I made apple chutney from a Barefoot contessa recipe on saturday last week during our heat wave...I know what was I thinking..it turned out really good and easy to do..it made 6 jars of it..great on pork chops..or even eggs..a<br />

we changed out our old kitchen faucet..this is our 4th one mind you..for some reason the kind with the automatic sprayer on the faucet doesn't do well..and we are paying up to 200 dollars a pop for these..<br />

so we changed it out to a Moen and don't have the soap dispenser any longer..but that is okay..I love this one..it's in the brushed nickel..and I love those bath and body soaps..I just ordered 14 and it was only 1 dollar shipping for the whole thing..I couldn't go to the store that cheaply..especially with how expensive gas is getting..I got 2 different pumpkin flavored ones..I can't wait to use them this fall.;) won't have to buy soap for quite a while now..always nice to have stock on hand..including food storage...some people are hoarders..I am a food hoarder and need to get more for my food supply..we just don't know what will happen with the way this economy is going..so it is nice to have plenty of food on hand..does anyone else out there have a nice stock pile of food?<br />

we just need to add the horse fencing to it..then add some cedar bender board to the bottom of it..to keep the crap/weeds from the neighbors yard rolling into my yard when it rains..I also spent 2-3 hours at her house pulling her weeds cause she can't seem to get to this side of the yard..so I took care of it..<br />

gotta love a stack of firewood..just warms me up thinking about it..we will be nice and toasty for a couple of winters..we have never had this much wood in our lives at one time..so this will save us buying any for hopefully 3-4 years..but it all depends on how cold it gets..<br />

another after shot..kind of blurry..sorry..but now I can walk around the entire yard now and not get tripped..and no weeds either..the yard was looking messy since May and it was driving me nuts..now when hubby takes his vacation on the 21st..we will be working on getting the shed jacked up and a new roof and an new lean too for our outdoor tools..won't be like the last shed that the tree took out (not our tree) the neighbors..and restaining a deck..cleaning a chimney..and stacking and cutting more wood..so we have our work cut out for us the rest of the summer..but we are ready for it..and I feel great..so it doesn't scare me anymore..I love the work..it is great exercise....<br />

Hey there everyone!!! well the last couple of weeks have certainly been busy for me..not complaining at all..its been good..on saturday the 28th we had the guys from my church come over to help split our wood for us...and they put a huge dent in that wood..<br />

we had 2 splitters (well actually 3) but it would fit through the fence to the back yard..so it didn't get used..would have really helped too..but in 3 hours these guys went to town splitting and stacking..I spent part of it cooking for these guys...then I went out and helped them stack..;)<br />

John here was a mad man with gathering and bringing it to us..they are coming back on August 7th to help split more wood..so I will be cooking dinner for them all..we have enough wood for winter now..and that is a comforting feeling..and soon I will have my back yard back..so I can get some flowers planted and maybe bark the area in..oh fall will be so much easier this year..since all the trees around us seem to be falling...<br />

I love my daisy plants..they make me smile..I have an area where I toss my plants when I am editing out my yard and they are growing and looking great..so when all the logs are cut and stacked I will be taking those said plants and putting them in the back portion of the yard to get more color in..and it won't cost me a thing except time..<br />

amazing how big the back yard looks with no shed or tree or fencing..we got more wood for the fencing after our dinner date out so we will be doing that come this weekend..will be nice to have a new fence and we are still deciding on what kind of add on we want to replace the shed with...we still need to see if we can jack up the back end of the shed standing at it took a nice hit and we need to re-roof it too..<br />

remember this photo from last week? whats left of the shed?..well on friday when it rained..there was a bit of wind and since the fallen tree was no longer there it fell completely over..so on sunday..hubby and the neighbor kid demolished it..and yesterday we took 2 truck loads to the dumps..<br />

now you can see all the way back there now..there is a hug trunk that fell and went straight down in the dirt..like 6 feet down..so now we need to get it excavated...can't believe the damage this tree caused..but they insurance is siding with us...that they were at fault..I mean the tree had about 60 feet of rot..oh and the neighbor finally apologized for it..and admitted that he knew it was rotting and was going to take it down..but was waiting for the money to be able to do so..well now its almost done for him..lol...<br />

Ryan did a wonderful job as always in taking care of us..he limbed this tree that is in the above photos..and found that: you guessed it..its rotting too..he found conks (mushrooms) down at the base and that is a sure sign they are rotting cause they love to feed off of rot..so guess what will be coming down in the future..<br />

Good Morning or Good afternoon to some of you!!! hope your week has been a good one.;) Last thursday after the tree fell on the shed..I had an eye appt. it had been 2 years so I was due to get the eyes checked and I had told them I would like to try contacts..it had been 20+ years since I had tried them and I knew technology had to be better so they let me loose with them..I did pretty darn stinking good getting them in my eyes too..(it would take me about 15-20 minutes in the past..This gal educated me on how to get them in and out and it was sooooo easy..I am now in the process of wearing them for a week (which I have done already) and went back yesterday to see if they could give me a "reader" one and "distance" one..as I can't see anything close up I mean I can't get my hand far enough away from my face and still can't read..so reading labels or hymn books was hard and I didn't want to wear my "reading glasses" or make sure I have them on me at all times..so they said they could give me a reader contact for one eye..(my left) as it is NOT the dominant eye..its a bit weird but I can see better close up..although one eye (my left is now a bit blurry) for distance...so now I wear these for a week and I go back next wednesday to see which ones I will choose..I will also get a pair of regular glasses as there will be days I will not wear my contacts and I can't see Jack without them..other then that I like wearing contacts..hubby is still getting used to me not wearing glasses...so then on friday the 6th of July I went boating with my gal pal Michelle and her son Mikey..we were going to go to the movies..but with the gorgeous weather we were having we just had to go out on her boat and go crabbing/fishing..the above photo is our dock (where I live in Indianola)..it was a low tide..and there was a boat sitting on the sand waiting for the tide to come back in..the tide goes so low that you can literally walk out to the end of the dock..and from what Michelle told me there is a car at the bottom that has been there since the 50's as that dock used to be a ferry dock..<br />

now we use it for fishing..playing in the water..fireworks..its where they do our fireworks every year right before the 4th of july..and the house to the left of the dock looking at the photo is where I spent watching the fireworks that night..the best seat in the house..as it is Michelle's daughter's house..<br />

she tried to put him back in..but he swallowed the hook and had to cut off his head..so she used it as bait and when we had nothing on the line..she pulled it back in to get it off her hook once and for all and the thing kept biting her without a body..it was weird...I am sure it was reflex..but it was still weird..<br />

this is a boy crab..I got educated on how you can tell..his underside is more pointy in the center and the females are more rounded..and you are not allowed to keep females..they must populate the earth..<br />

the neighbor thought it was just leaves that fell till she came over to see for herself..they were going to have it removed this summer..but it took care of itself at 4:30am..now we are dealing with insurance companies, and our tree guy is coming over to give us a bid for removal etc..the tree fell in 3 yards..mostly in ours..well at least I won't have to deal with those leaves that I complain about all the time..lol..just grateful it didn't hit the house and we are all okay..and glad it happened in the summer and not this winter when it was raining..so now its time to rebuild it..<br />

very random with the color..now we are growing out the bangs again..isn't this the way it goes..you cut it all off and then you decide to grow it out again cause you see a great photo..well that's what happened..and I started tanning again..this time with a tanning bed..might do it once a week to keep it going..haven't decided..but they have spray tan bronzers you can purchase and they work so well..so far no problems like I had with the actual spray tan bed..<br />

Good Afternoon my fellow bloggers and friends..I have been busy this week with tweaking..remember all of those white linens I got at the garage sale last friday? well I put them all to good use..as some of you know I am getting out of the "prim" look and going more cottagy, farmhouse, country romance..we live in a "dark" state..more cloudy days then sunny..lots of huge trees surrounding us..so we need the light and bright in our homes..so on thursday I put all the white linens every where where you will see shortly..and I changed out my curtains to go with the seasons and I put up my 4th of July decor..(no photos) nothing to write home about..just the outside is done with those cloth flag banners and red, white and blue lights in all the windows downstairs and wooden flags on the front of the house..so the above photo is the green curtains I had up there and a before photo of the decor on the table..I love that white table cloth..it looks like a quilt..<br />

I love those big green eyes..well I didn't go get my spray tan on...I found out after 5 days of torture and the torture is getting better that I am very allergic to the spray tan stuff..needless to say I am itchy all over my legs and arms mostly and have bruises from where I have scratched myself silly..I have been taking benedryl for the past couple of days..still alittle itchy..but my spray tan days are over..loved it while it lasted..so not sure if I want to go and sit in the tanning beds or not..I really don't want cancer but I sure loved how the tan looks..<br />

these are the same pattern without the faces..doing them in "football" colors..the one on the left is for Raiders and the purple and gold is for Washington Huskies..doing them in all the local football colors and will do some to order for your team too..the owl hats are 14.00 each and the plain ones are 10.00..it was glorious yesterday so I got some more sun on these bones to give me more color for when this fades..and today is supposed to be in the 70's..so going to be working on that huge wood pile and getting a "dump" run going..gotta make room for all that wood..will post photos of all of it onces its done..which won't be for a long!!! time..I hope you all have a great week..<br />

I got on the doctors scale yesterday and it has me down a pound more..so that is 88 total..mine show 87..so not sure which one is more acurate..so I have 4-5 pounds left to go..I can't begin to tell you how great I feel..I feel like I have been reborn..I love life, love myself..and am such a happy person..I had to help hubby lift 40 pound bags of wood pellets (for the pellet stove we got on monday) our friends that are moving sold it to us..so it will go upstairs in the garage to keep the kittys warm this winter..anyway back to my point..I could barely lift that 40 pound bag let alone 2 which is what hubby carried up..i can't believe I was carrying 2+ of those and then I wonder why I felt like crap all day and I hurt so badly...not to mention what it was doing to my organs..I tell you people if you are hurting or feeling terrible..then please do something about it..it can be done..if you want it bad enough.. well today we are going to our local casino for "prime rib thursday" with friends from hubbys work..can't wait...might bake some cookies for those friends of his..they are all liveaboards and don't bake..so I like baking for them..plus I get one for my troubles and I am happy..<br />
I have one last funny story for you all..I was making my homemade laundry soap about a month ago and I was using the "fels Napa" soap which is yellow..I had it all grated on the counter and went to go and get the container to put my extras soap in and hubby came by and thought I had grated some cheese for some recipe and he took a nice pinch full of it and well...he didn't like the end result..I had to laugh..cause it did look like cheese..he said he was pooping bubbles..lol..okay take care and have a wonderful rest of your week..thanks for stopping by and saying hi..I love hearing from you..its been awefully quiet in blog land lately..not many comments etc..or visits from folks that usually stop by..have you all noticed it? or is it just me..Cat Nap Inn Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04089694413969995302noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7841679284012330328.post-9243789535032509742012-06-01T11:18:00.002-07:002012-06-01T11:18:26.622-07:00TiMbeRRRRRRRR!!!!

Good Morning my fellow bloggers..this is going to be a super long post...so hang onto your seats and get soomething to eat and drink..On May 21st, 22nd and 23rd...we had that tree that you see above removed!!..this tree was over 110 feet tall and about 75 feet wide..it starts out as a 5 trunk tree then goes to 7 trunks..this baby was big..and while we loved the shade it provides for the summer..the mess it leaves in fall is just too much..we still have 3 more trees that drop their leaves..but we need to work our way through this wood before it rots on us then we will take out the rest..tired of the mess..(I am sounding like a broken record) as you all know how I feel about these trees..<br />

another view before she went down..Ryan our tree guy says we have about 10 cord of wood and depending on our winters 3-5 years of wood..so now we have 12 cord (we have our neighbors tree as well) ..we are still hoping the ones in the front yard go bye bye..so still working on that one...<br />

here is Ryans big chipper ready to mulch up the leaves and branches..his team of 2 other guys..Bill and Dan were awesome..they all did such a great job of making sure our yard looked like no one had been there..and they all had smiles on their faces..and pretty cute to boot..I fed them all 3 days..it was the least I could do for these hard working guys..they definitely earned their money on this one..I have a whole new appreciation for what these guys do...<br />

this is whats left..wish it could have come down a bit more..but I will have to plant something in front of it..you can see I started decorating the "older" stump in front..that one was alot taller and had been there for about 15 years..<br />

now you don't...we had them take it out as it was competing with the flowering cherry and we have 2 other rhodies..the yard is much more open now..and there will be less mess..now if I could just get rid of those other maples in front..I would be a much more happy camper..but this will certainly cut back my time this coming fall ...and for that I am grateful.;)<br />

here is my new favorite spot in the yard..I couldn't wait to decorate this..so I took plants from around the yard and here you go..our yard has so much more sun now that the tree is gone..the plants in the side front yard (shown below) are getting more sun..so hopefully they will do better..and when we add the addition to our house (the sun room) it will definitely be a sun room..which will be nice here in washington..<br />

and yesterday we were without power from 9am till 12:40pm so I sat and crocheted flowers..these will either be brooches to put on jackets or to put on belts to dress up an outfit..I made a smaller flower and then crocheted a band..so now I have a flower choker to wear..they are super cute on..I am really getting into the country cottage farmhouse look these days..I am no longer enjoying the primitive magazines any more..they just don't appeal to me..to much stuff in some of these places..guess its time for a change..<br />

I love this photo..I found it on facebook I think..it looks just like our Goose..and this would totally be something she would do..<br />
Its official..I finally hit goal..I am down 87 pounds as of today..I would like to get 5 more off..but will be happy to maintain this weight..I am super happy....I love getting dressed up again..that is way too much fun..and feeling confident about myself again..and being able to move with ease and not be in pain..so starting weight was 242 pounds and I am at 155...would like to get to 150..so we shall see..this has been a long road..but totally worth the journey..it has taught me to love every aspect of the weight loss and feeling good through out this journey..thank you all for the words of encouragement and support..

and I also added lace to the fly...this was alot of fun to make..I was getting lots of compliments on my old one I made last year for flying back to Utah..this has such a shabby chic/bohemian look to it..and they are comfortable to wear for long periods..my friend Jill is ordering one for her daughter for christmas..so I got my first order..think I am going to do some sewing today..its nice and quiet here..we are grilling steaks on the barbie tonight along with a nice green salad..I went to a BBQ this past saturday and made a wonderful spaghetti salad that would be great for BBQ's this summer..can be served warm or cold..( I took a photo last night..but not sure what happened to it)..here is the recipe..I will add what I "added" to it..makes it stretch further and it was just as tasty..)<br />
Spaghetti Salad<br />
1 pound of spaghetti or linguine..I used Vermichilli pasta<br />
(cook with a little oil in the water)<br />
chop up the following:<br />
2 bunches of green onions<br />
1 cucumber<br />
1 bell pepper (I used one red and one yellow) great color to this salad<br />
2 stalks of celery..I used more.(stretches it further)<br />
one container of cherry tomatoes cut in half<br />
I also added feta cheese, and you can add canned chicken and tuna fish..I also added grated parmasean cheese to the top.<br />
toss all of this in with the cooked and drained pasta and add 2 pkgs of good season italian dressing..mix according to directions..I didn't have these so I used a bottle of italian dressing..works just fine..<br />
add 1/2 a bottle of schillings salad supreme and toss to coat..you can add garlic powder to this too..we still have left overs as we had some from the saturday BBQ..so I cooked up more pasta and added olive oil this time..it was super yummy..a really nice dish for those summer bbqs and pot lucks..well I hope you all are having a great day..have a wonderful week ahead...Cat Nap Inn Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04089694413969995302noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7841679284012330328.post-36947319170828802662012-05-16T11:14:00.001-07:002012-05-16T11:22:28.856-07:00My BiRthDay WeeKenD AdVenTuReS!! :>)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good Morning everyone..Hope your weekend was great..mine was so much fun that it felt like a mini vacation..couldn't have asked for a better birthday or better weather...it was glorious!!! on friday morning I jetted out at 9am to get my hair done..my hair dresser had a cancellation and I took it..so I got my hair cut short and got it colored..can't really see the color in the photos..but I went with a short pixie cut..I love it..still getting used to it..cause I have had those long sides for so long..but it takes seconds to do and I am happy with it.;)<br />

then I came home and spent the day cleaning and mopping and dusting for my dinner party that I was having with my friends Jim and Michelle Moyer..I was having a cooking party to learn different ways of eating healthy and seeing the stuff my friend Marti sells..the line is called "saladmaster" and its pretty impressive stuff..and the gadget shown there is worth 500.00 and I got it for just hosting the party..it slices and dices and does it so quickly and is so pretty to boot..I love the retro design of this thing..<br />

purty isn't it..she made us fried chicken on the stove..no oil or nothing..green salad using this nifty tool, then she chopped up cabbage, carrots and used frozen corn and peas and made us mixed veggies on the stove..a 30 minute lasagne on the stove,mashed potatoes with garlic (that was it..potatoes and garlic)yummy.. and pineapple upside down cake on the stove..nothing went in the oven..and I will tel you the food was fabulous..she made enough for 6 couples..but there was just the 4 of us and I got to keep all the food..we are still eating leftovers..great food and great friends..<br />

on my actual birthday which was saturday..hubby worked and I hung out at home and had a quiet day relaxing with the babys..did some laundry and made sweet and spicy meatballs in the crock pot..had that for dinner along with the leftover mashed tators..then on sunday after church...we headed out to our friends boat and went sailing..now I am not a fan of the water by any means..I don't swim..I sink, period...so I don't like the water much at all..but I was excited to go and be with our friends Jill and Paul and I asked hubby how stable their vessel was..he said it was a brick and that it wouldn't lean over that much..so that was good enough for me..and the weather was to die for..it was stunning..the picture above and below are of Mt. Rainier..click on the photos to see it..<br />

Linda P for the wonderful card..have a great day everyone.;)oh apparently my eating frenzy wasn't that bad..I have 1 pound left to go...yippeeeeeee skippy..;)Cat Nap Inn Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04089694413969995302noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7841679284012330328.post-50379172357591966702012-05-13T13:17:00.002-07:002012-05-13T13:17:52.784-07:00HaPPy MoTheRs DayHappy mothers day everyone..hope you all have a wonderful day enjoying your families and that they are spoiling you rotten with love and goodies,;)Cat Nap Inn Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04089694413969995302noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7841679284012330328.post-19136074980125260192012-05-10T11:38:00.002-07:002012-05-10T11:38:31.624-07:00WoRkinG iN tHe Yard & MoRe CroCheTinG GoOdiEs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good Morning everyone!!! where does the time go in between posts..it just flys any more.;) I have lots to tell you..so sit back and get something to eat and drink..its going to be a long post..I have been busy out working in the yard..I have laid down 2 truck loads of bark so far and have about 2-3 more to go..this front portion is all done with the exception of the side that seperates me from the neighbor..I have been busy picking out Lily of the valley in my yard..that stuff will not die and it has a long root system too..I swear I dug to china the other day trying to get one root..it is slowly going away..I just gotta keep on top of it..<br />

we saw this idea on pinterest and planting potatoes..so those 2 round lumps are potatoes..and they are sprouting..only on the one side though..we planted some purple ones too..not sure why they aren't coming up..but the big garden itself has about 15 potatoe plants that we missed from last year...hoping they don't take over...<br />

here is the wood pile..hubby has been splitting this on his days off..we have a nice pile now..our big 5 trunk tree is coming down on the 21st and 22nd...it looks like it is going to be a 2 dayer..it is huge..I will be taking photos of this and filming it some too.;)it will give us about 5 years of wood for burning and so much more light and lets not forget less yard work in the future..eventually the tree you see by the splitter it will be gone too..but that will be in about 5 years when we go through the other wood..maple doesn't last long..so will cut it when we need it..<br />

I made these last week..they will fit a little girl..need to make more of those..well on friday I went to a woman's show at our fairgrounds to see a friend that was doing the show..she gave me a free ticket (12.00) and off I went..the show itself was boring..but i got 2 glitzy bracelets to wear one is silver/charcoal and the other in pink..they are too cool..and I got 3 pairs of socks an $18.00 value for free from another vendor ( I buy their shoes) so they gave me some really nice socks..I also got a geico t shirt cause we are customers..I wore it to work in the yard..and I signed up to win a free 900.00 MRI full body scan at the place I get all my scans done..and guess what I won that full body scan..Yes you heard me right..it will check me from head to toe. it does everything..that is the biggest win I have ever won..I found out when I went in for my Mugga scan on monday..(that is a test for my heart) since I am on this kidney study...and the gal that I met on friday came out and told me that I had won...<br />

Hello there everyone!!! I hope your week is off to a good start..since hubby is off on sundays and mondays..my week starts on tuesday...to recap on saturday I got a truck load of bark for the yard..amazing at how little it covers..I will need another 4 truck loads to finish it off..but it was good exercise and with all the lily of the valley I pulled out for the 3rd time (and I have to pull yet more) of it..my day was spent doing just that..Sunday after church I crocheted 2 more hats..the other one was done on saturday night..I love making these hats..it is the easiest pattern and they whip up in about an hour or so..I am making dishclothes right now then more apple cozies..sending these to my MIL hopefully before mothers day..(this is for her birthday if you read a couple of posts..(in January)..Yesterday turned out to be a gorgeous day so we went for our 2 mile walk and then got ourselves ready to go shopping..and shop we did..<br />

Hello there everyone...Its seems like forever since I have been on here and I have been itching to blog..but have had no desire to blog..doesn't make sense does it..I am really getting burned out on blogging and seriously don't know that I want to continue with it..after 4 years..its starting to lose its novelty..just too many other things I would rather be doing then blogging..so not sure that I will continue or not..I haven't even missed reading what everyone else is up to..and that is not like me..cause that is how I start my day is by blogging and catching up..I know some of you are feeling the same way..okay enough of that..this is what I have been up to..making more and more hats and cowls etc..and loving it..<br />

to put your keys or sunglasses in while you are out walking..and it is super warm too.:)see 2 photos down..I hate this new blogger..as now my photos will have no rhyme or reason and be out of order..oh do we have to keep using this new blogger..cause if we do..you can bet I won't be doing much blogging..why do they have to keep changing stuff up on us..the old way worked better..unless I can change photos around once I get them up loaded then I can deal with that..does anyone know?<br />

2 weeks ago our neighbor had 3 trees taken down..(I spotted the rot) and they had them removed..do you know how much work this will save me come fall..oh hallelujah!!! and we got the wood..paid 200.00 to have it moved into our yard..see the huge pile..<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tScm3ItBXzA/T5ngpDiw3CI/AAAAAAAAXf0/YeJ1_obNXvw/s1600/101_0345.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tScm3ItBXzA/T5ngpDiw3CI/AAAAAAAAXf0/YeJ1_obNXvw/s320/101_0345.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
so that pile has been moved to the dirt and since we are having a tree (with 5 trunks) see photo below and you will see the 5 trunks past the flowers..we are getting a bid for it on the 1st of May..eventually we will have all the maples removed from our yard..the mess is just too much..we are also limbing the trees across the street from us in our front yard...going to make it better for us since we are the ones taking care of the messes they leave behind...with all the wood we are taking down..we purchased a splitter at Lowes and started using it..what a dream to have a splitter..we won't need wood for at least 4-5 years with the trees we are removing.so it will pay for itself..<br />
