Time to Descend
During our stay in Portland, Jeremiah has been helping his brother in law work in the "crawl space" of their home, putting up insulation. Since I like to be with Jeremiah, I decided to descend below...and face my fears of spiders and the like to help him, when he was going to go down solo. It was an adventure. I tried to make sure I knew where all the spiders and creatures were at all times, so I didn't get a shocker! I don't like surprises.....I think all in all I was a pretty good helper. And there weren't very many surprises until just before we took a break for supper...when we discovered slugville. Eeek. I was happy to break after that discovery.

Binyons!!!!!!
We are currently in Portland Oregon, visiting Jeremiah's sister, brother-in-law and cutest nephew ever! The night before we left on an early 0730 flight, we realized that my glasses were pretty much thrown in the wendy's dumpster!!! STRESS. However, the stress led me to the discovery of BINYONS!!!!!! It is the greatest glasses place ever! Such good deals. So good that Jeremiah got his first eye exam ever.....well maybe he got one when he was very young, but he didn't remember. Jeremiah realized one day he may need glasses when he tried mine on and realized he could SEE :) He said wearing my glasses was like living in HD and not analog. So....now he can always be in HD in his cool trendy new frames!

Fun Easy Useful Recycled Craft
I am not sure if I thought of this craft, or saw it somewhere, but it worked out well.
All you need to do is save your tin cans, wash them, take off the label, pick a fun paper to cover them with, use the straight edge of the paper and glue it around the side of the tin can, I used a glue stick and reinforced the seam with a hot glue gun, then you trim off the excess paper,add some ribbon if you like and.... voila....very cute storage tins for your craft area or somewhere in your home!
