Hello friends.
Today I wanted to share with you
the various splint baskets I have.
You may wonder what the heck is a splint basket.
A splint is a thin strip of wood.
These splints were mostly made from
oak, ash and hickory trees.
Native Americans in the Eastern tribes
first brought these well made baskets into fruition.
They came in all kinds of sizes.
mostly square, but there are some round ones.
This is my biggest one.
This one someone whitewashed.
This one has seen better days...
but I still love it.
Large splints.
Smaller splints.
I love them all.
In other news,
Carla asked about my daughter.
She has not even mentioned
her headache issue to me lately
since Michael's car accident.
Maybe her focusing on him has made
them go away.
I will have to ask her.
Bob put the antique store up
for sale again.
He had an offer....a dumb one.
This guy wanted to purchase our building,
have Bob sign a 10 year lease and continue
running the business.
Say what?
Why would we do that when we dont
pay rent now, we own the building
with no mortgage and we want to sell.
The nerve of some people just amazes me.
Yesterday morning we had freezing rain.
Bob told me to come home because it was
getting bad...so I left work before lunch.
Drove in it for a few miles,
but by the time I reached home it was raining.
Thank goodness.
The thunderstorms rolled in the evening,
and then another round early this morning.
Sunday night out towns tornado alarm
went off just before a thunderstorm arrived.
We were not sure why because it was
really not that bad....I have seen worse,
and also been in a tornado before.
Crazy weather.
Well have to get ready to go back to work.
April Blessings To All!
