Recycling Magazines

Today has been one of those days when I was living in Arizona that I dreamed about. A lazy day in which the rain has been falling off and on (not good for house painting I am afraid), we have snugged around each other in the basement and watched old movies. For dinner we had homemade Burritos.

The front door is back on & looking gorgeous!

I have tried to sell my older quilting magazines on Ebay, but didn't get to far with that. I even offered them to people who would post to my blog awhile back & got no takers. So today, I am diligently dissecting and recycling into the trash a wonderful batch of Quilt World magazines from the 1980's.

I am going through each one and saving quilt patterns and needlework patterns, stories, cartoons and other things that appeal to me. It is hard to toss these into the bin, but with no takers, they really need to be tossed carefully, before dear hubby throws them out.

I got the name of my apron buddy yesterday and have been working something up for her & I can't wait. It is so cool to think of doing something for a complete stranger and knowing they are anxiously waiting to see what they receive.

Today, we went to our local produce stand (fresh and yummy) and bought Ginger Gold Apples (sweet green apples) & Red Delicious and came home and the youngins and I took out the Jack LaLaane (worth every penny) juicer and we tossed in these sweet apples and soon had 2 quarts of sweet pure apple juice.

The kids love to see how much pulp it makes, but today they were so excited at the red juice coming from the red apples, they thought it was magic!

My old pastor called today and it was good to hear his voice and talk to him about all the exciting things going on at the old church. I truly miss everyone there, they were such a great group!

How was your day?
