I LOVE OUR DUMP!
No I am not talking about our house. I’m talking about our landfill.
My sweet friend Mimi Sue posted about her trip to our dump HERE.
She was smart and took pictures while she was there. I just took pictures of my loot from the give and take area.
Pretty cool huh? People sure get rid of some fun stuff. I’ve been needing a shop vac forever and one guy was unloading it from his truck and I asked him if it worked and he said, ”Yes but it’s missing a wheel”. Gee Bummer!
I also needed a new ladder for the trampoline so I grabbed this swimming pool ladder and will modify it to make it work.
How about this painting? It is not just a print but a real painting. I love it and it will go great in my basement which is done in the outdoor-lodge look….
Then some fun drawers from an old sewing machine table…
And this thing….
Does anyone know what it is? I did this with it…
Also this …
Love it!…
And these…
The wheel assembly is shot but can you say PLANTER?
And this…
Oh the possibilities…
And all this…
Some of these spoons are really old. This one says 1933 from Chicago…
I cleaned it up and also one from South Dakota…
And best of all, this….
Why this? Because it is the same pattern as my Mom’s Silver and all I got from the set was the gravy ladle and I have cherished it and use it every time I make gravy. Now I have two!!!
Seriously, my parents got their set when they were married back in 1940 up in Canada. What are the odds that I would find another one in our little old Utah landfill?
Amazing!

WE’RE A SWINGIN’ GROUP
I made a new toy this week. I don’t know who has more fun with my toys… The kids playing on them or me watching them.
Take an ordinary tire…
Paint it red…
Add some hardware and chain…
Then get a little creative…
And hang it from the tree house…
Add a kid…
Or two…
And just have fun…
I think they like it.

NO CHILD LABOR LAWS HERE
When you wear out one set of grandkids…..
You move on to the next…
A couple of years ago when this happened…
I salvaged some bricks…
Then I had these great-nephews…
Help me clean them off and we did this with them…
Kind of crooked and funky but it served its purpose for a while.
This year I finally got around to doing what I wanted with them so…
It was brick moving day at Grams…
We are so strong…
There sure are a lot of bricks…
Lets have a meeting a figure out the best way to do this…
I think we should make the boys do it and we will just look cute…
Ahh… Break time…
Let’s make Uncle Zac help too…
See what we did…
A nice little spot for Grams favorite chair..
A spot it front of the “Grammy Swing”…
Where the old pathway was…
Lots of hard work. Time for another break…
It was a good day.
