Cookies in the Sewing Tin.

I work for an ambulance company and my department is responsible for cleaning out the ambulances after the crews end their 12 hour shift. Medics & EMTs are notorious for forgetting things on the trucks and nothing really surprises me anymore. Today when I got to work this tin was sitting on the counter and honestly my first thought was "Why are there Christmas cookies when we haven't even had Halloween yet?" I inquired about the tin, who do they belong to, where did they come from and what have you, even opened to verify that it did in fact have cookies in it. Because let's be real, how many times have you opened a tin like this hoping to find cookies but was disappointed to find something other than cookies? I laughed and made a comment about how there were actually cookies still inside. Manny (a co-worker) said that another co-worker brought the tin in from a truck and when he left it asked "Who put cookies in the sewing tin?"

I don't know why I found this funny and worth sharing but I cracked up laughing. Mostly because growing up I know my own mom & grandma had some of these tins filled with sewing stuff or buttons. I would bet that most of you had a grandma or mom that had a tin with that sort of stuff in it instead of cookies as well.

What all did you find inside when you have came across one of these cookie tins? I would love to hear about all the treasures these pretty little tins have held.

Also, can someone explain why I have been feeling so darn nostalgic these days? Geez.

Wonderful waste of time

I tried to warn you that I had so much to tell you... So We have been spending so much time at the hospital with my dad. I mean we were all there for several days (now we are taking turns-he's doing well and we had to go back to work). And you know how it is everyone brings something to keep them busy so that they can ward off boredom. Well Val had been using one of those round loom things that you can knit hats and such. She had made herself one and while there her knitting caught the attention of one of my nieces (Katie) and she wanted to know how to make one for herself. So Val being excited to show someone sat down with her and gave her the loom and some yarn and helped her along. That girl made her whole hat. She loves it and wears it everywhere already. Before we knew it Haleigh was in on learning to make hats. They were having such a good time knitting away while visiting with their papa and all his company. ...

A new year

Ugh! I have started and deleted this blog entry more times than I care to admit. :) I have so many things floating around in my mind that I want to write about that I keep jumbling them all up on the page and they are not making sense to me so I am sure you will not have a clue what I am saying...babble, babble, babble... Anyway maybe this one will work for us all. The new year. 2012 Wow. I am getting so old, I don't ever recall thinking this far in to the future when I was a kid except maybe when I watched movies with flying cars and hoovering skate boards and such thinking it would be neat to have a flying car. but here we are still living a pretty normal life without all that stuff. I chuckle a little when I think of all the things I enjoy, these things certainly don't "fit" the year 2012 as the movie writers would write it. Because I don't want a flying car, I think it would be fun to ride a horse everywhere or have a covered w...

My baby girl

found this pic, not sure but I believe she was 3 April 12th (yes i know it is the 13th now)...This date in 1999 we welcomed into the world our sweet baby Britt. She had a bit of a rough time in the first week, but wow look at her now. She is 12. Cant believe she is already almost a teen. (yuck) We were so spoiled with Val that when Miss Britt came along she set our world on edge. Thats right, she was quite a mess(not sleeping throught the night even to this day she sleep walks) But you wouldn't meet a sweeter, kinder girl. She has the biggest heart. Ive been thinking alot about her today with reason, it was after all her birthday. She got to bring her horse to our pasture this week inlight of her day, so she didn't really seem to mind that I had to work and she had a softball game on her birthday. As long as she gets to play with Ladybug alittle before the day is over. She is now fast asleep in her bed(for now)...
