Not too much going on at the ol' Countryfolk homestead for New Year's Eve. I'll be treating myself to root beer, a bag of Cracker Jack and a Dove candy bar. Not necessarily in that order. But hey, It's New Year's Eve... I may go a little crazy. ((hee hee)) Hubs has his stash of goodies too.

As I was waiting for my kitchen china hutch hardware to arrive in the mail today (which by the way it didn't, even though it was supposed to. hmpf!)

It's funny how moving only two pieces of furniture balances out the room and actually gives you more room.
Now I'm on a mission to find a portrait of Frederick Douglass (friend to President Lincoln) to hang next to him.

Here's hoping you find a good prize inside that Cracker Jack!!! Happy New Year Karin!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Karin!! I can't believe I'm still UP! But getting ready to hit the ol' hay after my comment. I love Dove bars....so creamy and yummy! Hubby and I are huge Three Stooges fans....crack me up! Have you ever seen the Stooges movie? It is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteYour living room looks beautiful! Love the switch you've done in there. I totally get the balance thing you're talking about. My hubby laughs at me when I say, "Ok, this side needs to be balanced with the other side." Lol
Ooh, what prize did ya get? :-P
All the best Karin, hugs Francine.

Denise, when my hubs saw me dragging furniture around he asks, "NOW what are you doing my crazy, little Chickie?" (Chickie is his nickname for me)
ReplyDeleteI responded, "Move along. There's nothing to see here."
