Anyone notice Ms Kayte gone missing tonight? *worried look* did I miss something???
...or something like that.sirius real men can pull off pink.... you can do it HAHAHAH

Good morning Mountaineers!
Congrats momma on the upcoming grandchild. May all go smooth and easy for your daughter. A girl's night together sounds like fun!
And YES, I noticed Kayte was MIA yesterday. I was worried. Hope all is ok.
I agree the snowmen attys are adorable.
It is chilly here. We have a new system this year and it evidently cannot keep up with how much infiltration{drafts} this old house has. The heat was coming on every few minutes this morning, so I had to turn it down to a lower setting. Brrr... time to break out the thermals. Yes, I have become a Florida sissy when it comes to cooler weather. It just happens when you live here. My husband was raised here, and he doesn't have one ounce of fat on his body, so to him it is freezing. Especially after he eats. I tell him I have several lbs of fat I could spare, but he won't take me up on it...
I hope everyone has a wonderful day. And those of you in truly cold country stay warm.
p.s.Sirius I will take a look at all my extra batteries today and count how many I have to spare. No sense in having a bunch of batteries sitting around I won't use. That makes me nervous.

Matched perfectly, Sirius, with my "funny farm" jacket.![]()

I went back to sleep.... what a lazy bumm..![]()
It's one of those straight up little nubbins ones that I finally figured out is all tip end. Okay, okay, so I'm a tad slow.
The Silky Oak Burls are so interesting with its natural white "lacing" and wonderful dark brown cracks and honey coloring. Of course, Doug's woods can go on most anything you can throw at it; but this one looks down right super on the corn cob granny pipe oldest sent to me for birthday. 
Thanks, started out to be my out and about pv's, but I can't put them down.Nice set-ups Killo..Very nice tips too!![]()


The corn cob part is fitted with a piece of 1/2 copper pipe to mimic stem. Maker put some padding inside stem to slide in a small ego type automatic battery that lights up blue at the "hot" end then I attach a mini ProTank or Davide. That "stem" with tip winds up being 7" long!....without including the thickness of the corn cob. However, I can slip the battery and tip out easily if I want to "hide" what I'm doing.On top of the cob part the maker attached a decorative antiqued brass button. Now I need to find a "poke bonnet" and flour sack blouse to complete my "outfit".
.......No, I don't!!!!
