Miscellaneous Monday!

Look what I found in my basement!  I got it at an auction in Iowa years ago with the intention of hanging pretty linens on it for display but recently I was shopping on the internet for one of those indoor clothes dryers (non-mechanical) and realized that was what this was!  The new ones are very expensive too!  This one has seen a lot of use and some of the dowels split and someone repaired them by wrapping wire tightly around the break.  I put it in my laundry room and it's a little crowded so it will probably end up somewhere else eventually.  I washed it all good and it could probably use a coat of paint but for now it's okay as is.  I used to hang outside but kept getting ticks in my clothes from the cedar tree that is near my clothes line so I had to stop hanging outside.  Although I could probably place this outside away from the trees as it folds up and is portable. 

 

I was able to hang an entire load of clothes on this baby!  I was amazed!  Whoever invented these was a genius and I know I paid very little for it...like less than $10.00 while the new ones go for $70-$100 I think.

Lucky me!

I went to Wal-mart yesterday and would you believe they carry Bison meat now!   I bought a pound of ground Bison to see if I would like it.  I had it years ago and I remember it tasting almost sweet.  It is very healthy for you as opposed to beef and this has no antibiotics or hormones or additives of any kind.  I'll let you know what I think after I make something with it.

Remember the other day when I said the only thing that could make that "coffee" cake any better would be some coffee ice cream?  Well........Ta Da!!!!!

Oh baby, oh baby!  Yes.....it was delicious!  I may need to go on a diet after I finish this cake...who am I kidding....I need a diet NOW! LOL!  It is one of the true joys of life though to have these extraordinarily delicious foods.  I just can't have them all the time.

See this paint chip below?

I know, it's hard to see the color really well.  Think Granny Smith Apple green.

Now...........see this door?

Stay tuned for further developments!

Have a wonderful Monday and stay cool.....it was 97 here yesterday or more.  Thank you Lord for my AC!
