Three Cool Things (&Weekend Snapshot)

Weekend Snapshot

Over the last 3 weeks I have aquired three things that I think are pretty neat. Mostly, I guess, you'd just have to be me to think so. So here they are:

1. This pillow!

I found it while shopping at a junk an antique store. It doesn't look like much, kinda worn and all. Someone cut an old quilt apart and used this to make a pillow. I got it because of this:

My grandmother's quilt from the 40's. It is now hanging in the corner of my bedroom and this pillow will be on the bed. (For my weekend Snapshot friends, this is the end, unless you want to read about the strikethrough or Nutella.) :)














2. The Strikethrough

My sister and I have employed the strikethrough for years. We didn't know it was called a strikethrough, though that makes perfect sense. Whenever we went on vacation we would send each other postcards that went like this:

Dear Sis,
We are having so much fun here. Glad you're not wish you were here.

Imagine my delite when I started blogging in November past and found that the strikethrough was here! At Rusty's blog, the strikethrough is simply a choice to click like b for bold. But here I couldn't find anything to click. You may remember that I am a point and grunt type technology person. If I can't point at it and click it, well, whatever it, it is lost to me. However, I have the Blogging for Dummies book checked out of the library. I checked it out for another two weeks. In there I found the secret to the strikethrough. Wow!

I know, I am easily amused.






3. Nutella!! YUM I've seen this stuff on the shelves at the store and read about it, but never tried it. Well, I can't believe all the wasted time! It is wonderful on whole wheat toast for breakfast. This is not one of those paid advertisements either. This stuff is good, chocolate and hazelnuts, what's not to love.

(Note to self: better not buy this very often. It is way too good to be anywhere close to healthy to eat!)

Snapshot Weekend

Christmas lights are still on the trees in the park so I snapped this and the statue is of a founding father of the town.

Weekend Snapshot

A walk in the city park on Saturday with my little dog provided me with the opportunities to take these pictures. The gazebo has a sign explaining the shake roof. There are Christmas light on in the tree. The dolphin is at the edge of the concrete children's wading pool.

Snapshot Weekend

I didn't know that there was any such thing as this Traveling Memorial Wall, so when it came to town we went see it. It was set up on the grounds of the KC hall. We looked for names of some local boys who had been lost. Someone was there to help with that. We saw several people making rubbings of names and saw one woman crying while touching a place on the wall.
