SNAP THAT

Home Sweet Home   a 1939 Living Room  Welcome once again to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 . This week the subject is Your Home. 1. What kind of home do you have and does it need repair or improvements this year? I have a smallish condo (986 square feet and a deck that is 518 square feet) in the heart of the city. It's handy to everything I need.  I can walk or take a short bus ride to where I need to go and this is a major factor in why I purchased the place.   Over the past year I've made some cosmetic changes to refresh my home (painting, changing out door knobs, bathroom shower curtains/cabinet knobs and towels).  But major improvements are needed in both the kitchen and master bathroom.  I would like to replace the kitchen cabinets and counters and convert the master bathroom tub to a shower but it's doubtful those changes will be made in 2023.  I would also like to change out the flooring throughout the condo but the other changes are more important.  New shower curtain

Hello friends and fellow bloggers, We've been getting a lot of rain as is the norm here at this time of year. Today was exceptionally wet but I took a walk after the rain slowed a bit. I had to do a few errands. I'm not sure but I think it might be an early spring this year. Time will tell. My submission is a bit late but I'm joining in with the Skywatch Friday crowd today. Have a wonderful week ahead.

  Where I live the sky is generally gray over the winter months. Every now and then we have a break; the sky will clear and the sun will shine. It reminds us that spring will soon arrive. We had such a day on Wednesday. Joining in with Skywatch Friday this week.

Howdy Partners... welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 . Today let's talk about  the West. 1. Got some favorite Cowboy or western movies or TV shows you have liked?  I grew up in an agricultural region where there were a lot of farmers and cowboys. Most men worked out  on the land and wore jeans and cowboy hats. With this background, listening to country music and watching western movies or TV shows was second nature. I watched a lot of western shows but oddly don't remember a favourite movie.  I do remember a few television shows I liked such as Bonanza, Big Valley, High Chaparral, Gunsmoke and Davey Crockett. I liked them all. I also remember a lot of cowboy movies starring John Wayne which I enjoyed but cannot remember the names of the movies. I still watch any of these if and when I can catch them. 2.  Ever been to a rodeo or horse show of any kind ? Definitely. Without fail the entire town and several surrounding towns, would attend the annual rodeo and fall fair. Bare b

In my bid to be more organized before the new year advances too far, I did what I could in the last week of December to prepare for the month of January. I had my hair done. I haven't been to the salon in 9 months! It felt good because my hair really needed a good trim after 9 months. I had my nails cut down and new gel polish applied to get me through at least one week of the new year.  In an effort to declutter and get rid of extraneous things, I spent some time knitting up many scraps of yarn that are too small for anything much. I made these cloths for washing dishes or for general cleaning. I was finally able to get to the dentist for a consultation, x-rays and top and bottom cleaning (It's not me in the phone, lol.  The good news is I have no cavities. The bad news is I will need a crown redone and I have another appointment in a week or so to get it done.  It's been years since I last went to the dentist and I really needed the teeth to be cleaned to help my gums sta

Happy New Year everyone. Welcome to Toni Taddeo's first Tuesday 4 in the new year.    January is named for  Janus the two faced god who looked into the past and future. Some believe he was Noah who may have been worshipped by his progeny. He certainly looked into the pre flood world and the new world.  The Anglo Saxons called this month Wulfsmoanth.   Let's talk about January. 1.  January 1, 1892 Ellis Island opened it's doors.  Did any of your relations enter the United States through Ellis Island?  If not, do you know your family's history?   My family isn't American so no relations entered through Ellis Island or any part of the USA. Fortunately I do know my family history but many of my extended family members do not. 2. January's birthstone is garnet and the flower is the carnation.  Do you have favorite gem stones or flowers? The garnet is a very pretty gem but I've never been a big fan of carnations. My favourite gem stones are sapphire and turquoise
