Not much going on this week... on Sunday, I went to my parent's house and Mama and I made mosaic step stones to go in the sadly-expanding pet cemetery. I did Sadie Sue's step stone; Mama did Goldie's. Mama had the bright idea of making a template for the stones and working out our pattern before mixing up the cement and slapping the colored glass in willy-nilly. (I was for mixing up the cement and slapping in the colored glass willy-nilly, BTW...) On the other hand, it was a good thing we did do the template because Mama's first design was this:
she needs a better editor, or spell check at the very least...
here's what it looked like after the correction - i am the one who pointed out the error and i made her promise not to move it while i ran out for my camera. i wonder if it would have been caught if i hadn't said anything?
here's what i designed for sadie. it's supposed to be a lady bug.
here they are drying - i saw them dry yesterday but forgot to take a picture. they turned out pretty good! i like mama's better. we are going to have a memorial service and dedication when it warms up.
But that's not gonna happen anytime soon - it has been so cold Mr. Smith and I barely get out these days. We were invited out three evenings in a row and we've declined all offers in favor of sitting at home by the fire and watching movies. We got snowed (iced, actually) in on Friday and I got my first migraine headache Thursday night trying to drive home in the snow and ice. (Migraines are super owie, BTW. Mine didn't go away for TWO DAYS. Yeeouch. No worries though - I'm better now.)
That's it from the Smith Casa for now - I'm going to go back upstairs and get warmed by the fire!
