Family Camping and fishing trip

Image
 Was so fun getting 17 people together for a camping fishing trip.  We all reserved through ReserveAmerica and got 5 sites.  Everyone brought their campers and tents and we all had the best time.  This was our site our "Maizy Bell"...she is a 1967 Bell camper 13 feet long including the hitch.  My brother Chet and his camper and pickup all ready for the weekend.  Daughter and son in law with their new tent camper.  First time camping in it.  Camp breakfast in the cast iron dutch ovens....always a favorite for our family.  Always takes at least two dutch ovens to make enough.  Setting around the campfire and watching this beautiful sunset was just the best for the day.

Beautiful White and Pink Peonies

 Don't you just love Peonies?  I have so many around our house....they just get so tall and fill out so big.  Then the blossoms...  The blossoms are just amazing...bigger than my hand. Stand so tall and then the wind comes up and down they go.....mine are white with just specks of pink and then at the end I have one red plant.  This  year it came up big and tall and had about 5 blossoms on it.  The smell is just amazing also.  The ones around our wagon spread out all over the fence.  Last year a man stopped by and asked if he could pick a couple for his wife.  He said he was laid off and no money and it was his wife's birthday. So hubby and I said ok go ahead.  This year he came back and asked again.  We asked how he was doing and he said real good a nice job and money coming in.   So why then do you need to pick our flowers....He said "because they are pretty".  So we said "no not this year".  We really don't want him to make a habit of pi

Memorial Weekend

Image
 Do you ever stop at some of the old time museum's out there?  We went back to our home town Weippe, Idaho for the Memorial weekend to work on hubby's parents graves.  We like to clean them and add flowers.  Stopped at this little museum that was established in 1999.  All the history and cool items in there. After the fun of looking at all the items.  They had a baked food sale and a small lunch.  Was just a great day.

Starting out a new venture

We are starting out a new adventure we are consigning in with a Tourist Trap store in Riggins, Idaho.  WE will be selling some of our pallet America Land of the Free signs and our Police Pallet Signs.  So many items in her store and we just loved stopping and browsing through it...she is also carrying our gift baskets of our homemade hand soap and hand crocheted wash cloths.  Signing all the papers and making it all official.  A couple of our signs are ready to be placed in their new home here.  Checking out all her items and finding many wonderful things to buy. Even granddaughter Chey is finding some pretty cool jewelry.

New Venture into making lip gloss

Image
Do you have a favorite lip gloss that you use all the time? I am always on the lookout for a good lip gloss that won't make me feel like I'm putting oil on my lips and they are dried out in just a few minutes. My Mom and I decided to make our own all natural lip gloss this past weekend. It turned out fabulous.  I went on a road trip the next day and put this lip gloss on after I ate lunch and had coffee.  My lips still felt moisturized four hours  later when I arrived at my house. It was fabulous. I didn't even have to reapply after eating french fries half way through the trip. Now, that is a lip gloss that I can love. My mom and I pouring the lip gloss into their  containers.  These are the cutest little jars for glosses. We will be selling these on our Facebook Page, rustycupboard if  you are looking for a new, all natural, non-toxic, scented with essential oils lip gloss. Have a fabulous day everyone out there in Bl
