Hand Made Gifts

I love homemade gifts. I like to give them and I love to receive them.
Here is a purse I made after I made the big one.

Then I put this together.



And here may be the best part. My nephews wife painted these skates for me. They are adorable and I am looking for the perfect place to put them. I think they may be able to stay out for January, which is my snowman month. Too cute.

The perfect place to put them? Wouldn't that be on your feet? I love to ice skate, but live in the wrong clime. Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas.

Your bags look like they are right out of a fancy boutique. Great job. And who would have thought a painted ice skate could be so cute.
I'm done for the season. No lists, no shopping, only wrapping and cooking left.

Magic Valley Symphony

Wes and I finally made it to the Magic Valley Symphony. I was pleasantly surprised by how incredible they sounded. They had a guest conductor, Jose Luis Egiluz, from Spain. All the music they did was also from Spain. They had a local acoustic guitarist, who did an excellent job with his solos. Missing from the performance was Music Director, Conductor, Ted Hadley. He had to go the High School district championship basketball game with the Pep Band. That would be his day job, not to mention the job that has a paycheck attached to it. Going to the symphony is like being at the circus for me. I just can't decide what to watch. This was a group of about 70 musicians. Some as old as my mother, while others were as young as my daughter. The concert was followed by a reception with punch and brownies. All of this for $8. All in all, a very pleasant evening. We started going to the Symphony in Stockton. Beginning band has killing our sense of what music was, so, I decided we deserved to he...

To Tired to be Retired

Image
Well, it finally felt like a retirement week. It was good. I did end up sick and had to visit the doctor.  Truth is I'm a little unsettled about Trump meeting with Putin and I can't help but wonder what will happen this week.  Anyone who knows me knows that I think Putin owns Trump. I'm not sure what happened but I pray that those two haven't  started WWIII.   I don't usually write about politics here, but it's on my mind.  God bless us all.
