In deep despair! ..my closet.....

I have orders from headquarters to get rid of my old faithful dresses that I have had for the past millenia (some newer of course) so I tackled that this week. I am a tight wad  that has not sewed for herself (  and doesn't like to sew for herself) for too long(with the exception of a few now and then) . I'd much rather sew for the girls because it's quick and they fit!   
    My size has changed too many times over the past 17 years with gaining and losing baby fat and now I dont have excuses anymore for being whatever size I am! ...as if I knew what size I am anyway! I love shopping but hate clothes shopping , nothing fits the way I like and my feet are fat and shoes are hard to find !
  So here I am going through my old faithfuls, how can I get rid of dresses that are still good but that I despise? Like I said I am a tight wad (with no fashion sense at all)  If I were to go through my closet, I'd probably get rid of most of my clothes... So my spring project ....sew!!!!
I'm going to California with husband in April, so thats a good excuse to get some new clothes and go shopping! 
...and since spring is just around the corner, :), i'm gonna have to shed my sweaters,vests,jackets etc. ,so its time to shape up! I can't wait to get out there and rake my yard and dig in flowerbeds!

    I hate throwing dresses away that still have use in them; but what I hate even more is for them to hang in my closet. So one of the solutions that I like is to cut a dress apart and make it for an everyday dress for my girls. I don't throw it and they get a new dress.

    Be Brave! Love your closet candor. Sometimes I wear something that I simply know I must not wear ever again. I'm done with that outfit, done with that part of my life.

I’m Back!

 I’ve been thinking the last few weeks of this poor forsaken blog, so I looked up the other day and it was actually 2012 that I quit. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then and our family has grown and there’s been lots of changes and a wedding and a daughter-in-law and grandbaby coming and now we’re having another wedding In a few weeks! Wow , you never know what will happen in six more years! I thought about trying to catch up over our lives the last few years, but most of you already know What all we’ve been up to so I’m not gonna try! I’m just going to start where we are now! This is going to be a year to remember for sure! 2018, Who would’ve thought, that we would be facing cancer, looking forward to being grandparents, having a 19-year-old daughter getting married, another daughter dating!  It’s almost mind-boggling, but I am reminded  that when I started this blog and I was a busy younger mother with six little kids, that I literally took one day...

Pictures Of Summer 2012, now That Its History. . .

I am so far behind, I'm not even gonna try to catch up on our summer! Did we even HAVE summer??? Me thinks the years are flying by too fast! We had a relaxing Sunday afternoon today, Norvs mom and dad came up for lunch and Jay and April and the girls. . . Its been almost six weeks since hip surgery for my MIL, she's about ready to get rid of her walker! That'll be a wonderful sight to see her walk without it. Its been getting colder every night and raining for the past few days, knocking all those beautiful yellow leaves of of my maples in the front yard!  We've started raking them into huge piles. But its wasted effort till they are all off. The snow is covering the mountain tops now so one of these days its gonna get us! :) We celebrated our 18 th anniversary the 8th of October! Norv had to fly to Seattle that weekend and Julianna had her 8th birthday, so we are gonna do a gateway later. This time of the year is always a little hard to get nice wea...

50th Wedding Anniversary

These bull whips were a hit! I even managed to crack one (when no one was looking!) It was a fun filled week that ended not so good with flu bugs flying around , but we had a good time honoring Norv's folks  for their 50 years of marriage! The weather didn't always cooperate and it wasn't the warmest either but we had a nice big pavilion and a nice big fire roaring, lots of coffee, lots of food and  lots of gabbing and catching up with family we don't see very often! The whole reason for the Skrivseth Reunion/ 50th Wedding Anniversary  celebration Elv , Arla and the kids at home yet, from Wisconsin Ivan , Dena and Family from SC Evie came from Ohio Dayton, Judy,Alex, Gilbert, Benjamin,Rebecca and Jonathan Eric and Jared  Our family Bruce, Shilah and kids Matt , Amy and boys Jay ,April , Olivia and Jemima One afternoon we all toured the houses and lands of us kids that live here, here we are at Shilah's ...
