Wonderful Wordless Wednesday

Happy Birthday Big Brother

Seeker-Man turned 25 yesterday!

We are so blessed to have him living with us again.

Scooter and Tilly remember having him at home,

but Snorkie never had his big brother

around all the time, until now.

The "little kids" are having a grand time

flying kites, playing "Goodminton",

Playing games, playing with Play-Doh,

and watching old movies

with "the big guy".

They love showing him all their Favorite

Classic Musicals and TV shows

(We've watched the ENTIRE first seasons

of both Little House on the Prairie and

MacGuyver over this Summer.)

I get a big helping hand, because I can

run out of the house

BY MYSELF on occasion!

Woo Hoo!

-------------------------------------

He will be starting back to school full time

this week and will be studying

Web Design...Think I could get him

to help me with this Blog???

---------------------------------------

Lovey and I celebrated our

thirteenth anniversary of the week we met

on the 9th of August...

We met BECAUSE "Seeker-Boy" was

a student at a Summer Art Camp

that I was teaching am & pm classes.

So, I met Seeker Man 13 years ago too!

I got to spend a good deal of time with

That sweet, talented, silly seeker-boy

way back then...What fun to get to

spend time with him again,

so many years later.

God Bless You Seeker-Man!

Vintage Thingie Thursday!

Crystal Arcade

wall mounted coffee grinder

This coffee grinder may not be my

absolute favorite

vintage thingie,

but it is the most USED vintage item in my house!

I use this grinder nearly every day.

I keep 8 o'clock decaf coffee beans in it.

I have it mounted to my kitchen wall

and very few people can resist giving it a "spin"...

especially small children!

It has "Crystal" on the pressed glass bean canister

and "Arcade" on the cast iron grinder section.

If you adjust the tightness of the wingnut

on the grinder handle, you can

control the size of the ground coffee.

There was no container for catching the

ground coffee when I got it,

so I bought this cute little jar at a

local craft store and it fits perfectly!

I know nothing about this wonderful item,

except that it belonged to a friend's Grandfather.

She passed it on to me

when she downsized several years ago.

Her children weren't interested.

I LOVE IT!

This is my first Vintage Thingie post...

I hope you enjoyed the visit!
