My grandson, Harrison is playing Football this fall.

I was nervous as hell that he will get hurt, he did but only a small hand bone. He is to me the most handsome (Of course, Gramma).

Behind the door bathroom cabinet

I had one door left from Dad's workshop squirreled away for a special project. I love the re-
claimed wood look. AND this has sentimental value too. (Thanks Dad)
My bathroom clutter had begun to take over and there was no handy spot to stash it. When company came I would bag it up and put it in the towel cabinet but then would need it and it became a real issue and source of irritation. George put up with it and worked around it. Anyway, this was my solution and I love it.

The core is made of 1 x 6 ( actually 3/4 X 5 1/2.....why do they list it this way GRRRRR) I used my Kreg Jig that I got last Christmas to join the door panels and the shelves. I had also squirreled away some special door hardware that I found at a yard sale some years ago and used it on this door. It's silver with a torquoise stone in the center. Here are the pictures. The inside view shows the pocket holes in the door..(the white areas ), I also used wood glue to secure and clamped it to dry. I got the white wire baskets at the Rangeley Landfill building (free) - cleaned them up and lined three with fabric so that the small items, jewelry etc. would not fall through.
NOW my lotions and potions are organized and in one area. Love it!!

I needed more hidden storage boxes and thankfully I still had some of the fabric used here. Here's what resulted: The picture show them as I went, a take apart cardboard box, spray adhesive and a craft knife....Voila!

Jackie's Native American Service

What a beautiful service we were able to put together for my sister Jackie, who passed away in March of this year.We were able to get local drummers

and  A traditional Micmac service was done by Steven Michael of Shubenacadie First Nation Reserve.  A smudging and Seven Sacred prayers were inspirational. The granite memorial bench was placed on Thursday, prior to the service. It was lovingly donated by her friend, Ralph Brewer. Just as she had wanted!

Scooter

I have acquired a Honda Silver Wing 600cc Scooter. George has actually done some old Yankee trading to get it for me. I never considered riding a motorcycle (because of the 600 cc, this is actually classified as a motorcycle) before, but this is beautiful. I will need to take a driver-safety course to obtain my license. I am hoping to join a group of four women friends to take the course together, if we can get the time table worked out. It is a weekend course. Then you obtain your license.

My New Job for HOME CARE OF MAINE is working into Full-time

I have only been working for 6 1/2 hours per week for the past three weeks, paying my obligations  but no extra cash. I will start a 34 1/2 hour week next week.....terrific. I left my job in February to care for my sister and it has taken more time than I had expected to get a new position. I will begin the course for PSS soon to become certified. Then my hourly wage will increase also!
I looked for work since March 4th, I applied everywhere...I have an impressive resume, good work history, excellent references, formal computer training, certified Professional Organizer..etc. But I am 62 and have no college degree.....eek. I have never seen such poor economy in Maine. Several houses here in Rangeley are on the market. Vacant stores on Main street. Stubby's mkt., a small convenience store that also sold Pizza and sub's has closed. This store has been open as long as I can remember...and I was born here. How bad will this get? I fear that Maine will be the last State to recover, I know we were one of the first to feel the crunch!!
