My First

My first

Remember I mentioned that I had done a few “first” things since my big change? Well, I have some pictures I would like to share. I am adding to the “first” thing almost everyday. My goal is to at least do a “first” thing twice a month. I have missed out on a lot in the last ten years so it shouldn’t be too hard.


Yummmm…
My very first fudge-pecan brownies! That I haven’t burnt! I have an oven in my new home that is awesome. I knew all along it wasn’t me burning the baked goodies it was the silly oven I was using! Here is the proof!

How about this…
My first penholder!!! I painted it myself…you gotta start somewhere!

This I think turned out pretty ok…
My first fall table flower arrangement. I went to a pottery store and saw one of these for $89.00! I was telling myself, I don’t think so scooter! I did it myself for under $15.00.

Blllpp…
My first fish tank! We bought 6 lil fishies to put in there. I see that it isn’t going to be enough. Plus they are not colorful enough…but I get a pass with all my “first” stuff because I am learning by experience.

Huh?…
The first time I have ever seen an actual fig tree with fruit on it. Really. We have two in the yard and this one was still putting out figs. I am told that is unusual for the season.

Pretty…
Here is my first real fall flower arrangement. My boys made the stand as a TV stand for me out of cedar. When I moved I didn’t know what to do with it but was not about to give it up due to its sentimental value. We put it on the front porch and put the flowers in it. It turned out really pretty.

Money maker…
This is something my guy and I did together. This is my first future investment. We crunched some numbers and turns out these lil buggers actually make a few bucks! If we don’t make much at least they are purdy!

I am looking forward to many new and interesting things. I will add as I experience them. Today I started a kitchen project. I will show you everything when I am done. It is going to be work! But fun! Hopefully I will have it done before Thanksgiving!
May the peace of The Lord be with you all!
