<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We watch several cooking shows and I have seen The Pioneer Woman television show a few times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like the show, but the airings usually coincide with other activities so I don't get to see it all the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was interested in her cookbooks, but my friend's blog <a href="http://womanatthewell-kerry.blogspot.com/2012/04/i-am-blogger-groupie.html" target="_blank">The Woman at the Well</a> showcases many of her recipes. So, I just visited Kerry's blog and <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/" target="_blank">The Pioneer Woman's blog</a> and tried to be happy with that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kerry belongs to the <a href="http://www.sweetaspiecookingclub.blogspot.com/2012/04/sweet-as-pie-field-trip.html" target="_blank">Sweet As Pie Cooking Club and the club recently attended a book signing by Ree Drummond. </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kerry brought her book for me to see before I bought it and the decision was made.<br />
I had to have one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The book is beautiful so I had to share it.<br />
<br />
It draws me for many reasons other than the simple, scrumptious, step-by-step recipes<br />
(see book cover above title :)).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are many, many photos in the book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beautiful photos of not just the food and food preparation, but photos from her life.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first place I went was to the index.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Burgers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;">I.Love.Burgers</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<i style="font-size: x-large;">I was going to include photos here of photos in the book, but the fine print said bla, bla, bla about reproducing bla, bla, bla, so I'm going to leave you curious with just my text that would go along with the photos.</i>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't that a wonderful looking burger and a beautiful photo of a burger?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Handsome men and horses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you like horses, there are many wonderful horses.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cats. What can I say about a cookbook with lots of cat photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simply wonderful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kids. Sweet photos of kids doing kid things.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you just love beautiful books, I can recommend this one.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a first for me in a couple of ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two projects in about a month; and, I used a circular saw and a drill. I've used the sander before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this one was really construction and I did most of it myself!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my problems is that when I get something or an idea about something I go all out and want another one, or more. Apparently, this happens with large items too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember<a href="http://withavintagetwist.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-finished-something.html" target="_blank"> this table project</a>?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, since there was another door at the same store for a good price, I just had to dream up another use for it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hMyG1wYGHvI/T3IALNNe_vI/AAAAAAAAE40/wkkuWyNQoCE/s1600/20120327-IMG_4175.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hMyG1wYGHvI/T3IALNNe_vI/AAAAAAAAE40/wkkuWyNQoCE/s640/20120327-IMG_4175.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan to use it as a work table and I've put it in a spare bedroom. I don't scrapbook much anymore since my son is grown, but I won't have an excuse anymore for other things. I can use this instead of having junk all over the kitchen counter and table. (The bedroom is upstairs, so we'll see how that works out.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w02hZmI50mQ/T3HeZkzggxI/AAAAAAAAE3A/GOoUn-n8CPQ/s1600/20120320-IMG_3825.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w02hZmI50mQ/T3HeZkzggxI/AAAAAAAAE3A/GOoUn-n8CPQ/s640/20120320-IMG_3825.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looks like a sawhorse, doesn't it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, that's what it started with. A set of sawhorse brackets and a 2x4.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zeu5u1MwJi8/T3Heb05L5hI/AAAAAAAAE3I/RANAn7F-caA/s1600/20120320-IMG_3826.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zeu5u1MwJi8/T3Heb05L5hI/AAAAAAAAE3I/RANAn7F-caA/s640/20120320-IMG_3826.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: center;">I found these brackets at Lowe's or Home Depot and they are for decks, I think, but they work OK here. The top of this bracket is the only place nails were used. A screw head would have stuck up more and made the cross board not lay as flat as it could. Every where else we used screws or a carriage bolt.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G-J6geVXs08/T3Hed_sO7yI/AAAAAAAAE3Q/-h7AzU6JCD4/s1600/20120320-IMG_3827.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G-J6geVXs08/T3Hed_sO7yI/AAAAAAAAE3Q/-h7AzU6JCD4/s640/20120320-IMG_3827.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
See how the bracket sticks up higher than the 1x4 ? I made sure the brackets were placed along the 2x4 where the shallow part of the door panels would be so it would lay flat. If you used a thicker board, this would not be a problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband drilled two more holes in the brackets because the ones already there were too close to the edge of my boards.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had planned to use carriage bolts with wing nuts with the saw horse bracket and the 2x4, but temporarily used screws just to hold it together while figuring out a few things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The legs needed bracing so I attached a board across each leg.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5ZfBndUpa3Y/T3HeLNZgakI/AAAAAAAAE2o/RiSRVlXFdSI/s1600/20120323-IMG_4064.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5ZfBndUpa3Y/T3HeLNZgakI/AAAAAAAAE2o/RiSRVlXFdSI/s640/20120323-IMG_4064.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This worked out really well. I decided to use two boards on each set of legs in order to finish off the ends of the shelving boards. There was another benefit to this because I did not have to attach the shelving boards. They are just resting on the inside board and can be removed. The outside board is higher and covers the ends of the shelving boards. They were to also serve as bracing in that direction, so I might decide to screw them down if it needs it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The height of the shelf was solely determined by the height up the legs where the width between the legs would exactly fit four 1x4s. It worked out at a good height.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And here is the carriage bolt and wing nut attaching the 2x4 to the saw horse brackets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I stained it. Those inexpensive "white wood" boards do not look the best stained. Ugly. But, I'll look at it a while and if it bothers me, then I'll paint it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided I wanted to set this hutch on top. I bought it at an estate sale a while back. So I had to rig something to make it more stable with all that weight on one side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y0t_EQ0vi5s/T3IAG_UJF8I/AAAAAAAAE4k/2wKLQgNIbGk/s1600/20120327-IMG_4173.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y0t_EQ0vi5s/T3IAG_UJF8I/AAAAAAAAE4k/2wKLQgNIbGk/s640/20120327-IMG_4173.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See those two narrow boards going down in the back? I cut them a quarter inch MORE than the height of the bottom surface of the door because the carpet would press down. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1pUE3hXTcIM/T3H__8KuZhI/AAAAAAAAE4E/yxOczRqsOZA/s1600/20120327-IMG_4169.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1pUE3hXTcIM/T3H__8KuZhI/AAAAAAAAE4E/yxOczRqsOZA/s640/20120327-IMG_4169.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I Velcro-ed the end to the bottom surface of the door so they would stay in place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Rnmgq_xkZ7k/T3IAMxjGEYI/AAAAAAAAE48/SZDRD91ieZw/s1600/20120327-IMG_4176.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Rnmgq_xkZ7k/T3IAMxjGEYI/AAAAAAAAE48/SZDRD91ieZw/s640/20120327-IMG_4176.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I also put felt sticky back things on the edge next to the wall.<br />
You can already see a mark on the wall from me setting it up.<br />

<br />
The jury is still out on those "beautiful" wood markings, but I am pretty sure it will stay as is unless I get an urge for some painting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8NwD7-Q0oIE/T3IABv5bUAI/AAAAAAAAE4M/MbCN-ELcoAo/s1600/20120327-IMG_4170.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8NwD7-Q0oIE/T3IABv5bUAI/AAAAAAAAE4M/MbCN-ELcoAo/s640/20120327-IMG_4170.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
It just needs glass on top and a stool and I am also going to put stain on those brackets.<br />
I plan to get a high swivel chair with a back. It looks a bit high now, but I didn't want to cut the legs too short until I worked with it some. I can shorten them later if need be.<br />
<br />
It's not perfect, but I did it myself!<br />

I haven't forgotten about my inside goodies, I've just been all involved with outside things since spring (feels like summer) is here in Alabama. My photography hobby time has been spent shooting things for my <span id="goog_1516352364"></span>photo blog<span id="goog_1516352365"></span> (and now I have <a href="http://justpastthebarn.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">yet another blog </a>just for barns). Now I'm hoarding blogs??? Oh, dear.<br />
<br />
For anyone who visited my photo blog, "Amy's Photo Blog" it is no more. I changed the name, and therefore, the site address, to <a href="http://rosestreetreflections.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Rose Street Reflections</a>.<br />
Please visit me there !<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I might have trouble getting my big head through the door.<br />
<br />
I have received two - yes, two - awards.<br />
<br />
Many thanks to Candy and Deno!<br />
<br />
My friend, Candy, at <a href="http://pickinandpaintin.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">PICKIN and PAINTIN</a> honored me with the Liebster Blog award! Candy's blog features furniture make-overs that she does. She also has a wonderful shop in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee that I love to visit.<br />
<br />
A new friend, Deno, at <a href="http://www.whatdoallthesebuttonsdo.com/" target="_blank">What Do All These Buttons Do?</a> sent me the Versatile Blogger Award. He has great photos, many of which are HDR. <br />
<br />
Please visit both of these blogs and the great blogs below that I have bestowed these awards to!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<br />
For the Liebster Award, I was supposed to choose 5 up and coming blogs which have less than 200 followers. For the Versatile Blogger Award, the number of blogs I was to select was fifteen.<br />
So I chose 15 blogs, at least five of which have less than 200 followers. I think the point here is exposure for your blog, so we're good.<br />
<br />
Since I combined these, each of you can choose which award you want to pass on. Aren't choices great?<br />
<br />
I don't like using the word "rule" on my blog, so here are the steps that make the blog award thing work best:<br />
<br /><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><u><b>Liebster</b></u></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Choose 5 blogs that have less than 200 followers</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">In a new blog post: </span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Show your appreciation to the blogger who awarded you by linking back to them.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Link back to the blogs you are awarding so that everyone else can visit and enjoy their blog.</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"><b><u>Versatile</u></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">In a new blog post:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their blog.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Select 15 blogs/bloggers that you've recently discovered or follow regularly</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Finally, tell 7 things about yourself.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are my 7 things for the Versatile Award:<br />
1. Photography is my hobby.<br />
2. I do not like sports and if someone I'm fond of isn't playing, I won't be watching.<br />
3. I am very lucky in that my husband <strike>likes</strike> loves cooking. Go for it, Dear.<br />
4. I collect rulers, clocks, flat carpenters pencils, wasp nests, santa mugs, sugar/creamers, and a multitude of other things.<br />
5. I like vintage things and many of my photos are of vintage things, either mine, or someone else's.<br />
6. I love cats.<br />
7. I like green, yellow, red, and robin's egg blue; birds, butterflies, lilies, irises, petunias.<br />
<br />
Awardees:<br />
Post either/both award(s) on your blog side panel to show that you won an award!<br />
<br />
And, it's only blogging . . . if you do not want to participate for whatever reason, then feel free to ignore. You don't have to email me, apologize, make excuses . . nothing. Promise.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you made laundry soap before?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been using it for several months now and I like it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use the <a href="http://www.diynatural.com/simple-easy-fast-effective-jabs-homemade-laundry-detergent/" target="_blank">diy Natural website</a> for information on such things.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the finer side of the grater this time and like it better.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I didn't have any problem with the soap melting in the wash when I used the larger side of the grater, I like the tiny shavings better than those made with this side of the grater.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find many variations on the amounts of each ingredient, so it is not an exact science.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used one bar of the Fels-Naptha soap, to about 1.5 cups each of Washing Soda and Borax. I increased the Washing Soda and Borax because the Fels-Naptha bar seems bigger than other bars of soap.</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
About one tablespoon per load works well for me, however, I do not have a really dirty laundry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No small children or sports players any longer.<br />
I still use Shout for stains, or for a white item, sometimes I rub in a dab of the mixture and let set in a small amount of water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Try a small batch. You might like it and the effort is well worth the savings.</div>

Since I don't plan well for blogging,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(too much like work, and when blogging starts to seem like work to me, it's over)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would find a few green things around the house for today's post.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last week one of my friends just forced me, kicking and screaming, to go with her to an antique place she had found. And, then to top it all off, she also forced me to buy several things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok, so that's not really true, but we do feed and encourage each other a lot when shopping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Recently she has told me more than once that I have created a monster in that she now has an ironstone collection - a large collection. She is perfectly capable of shopping on her own, so I'm not admitting to creating any monsters, but I think I did plant the seed about getting ironstone for her new cabinet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now she likes rusty stuff. I might have planted that seed also, I'm not sure. She bought a couple of pieces that day for her back yard garden.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The below piece of rust is mine. I barely hesitated when I saw it. I think the price was good considering it was an antique mall. I would like to hang it on the wall, but it is really heavy so I will just prop it up on a chest with some other pieces.</div>

I've been informed that there's another box waiting on me.<br />
See ya.</div>

Here's how it works with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Think of a project - done this hundreds of times</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Get equipment and supplies for project - done this several times</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Start on project - done this a few times</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Finish project - this is rare for me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Throw away project because I don't like it - the number of times I've done this is about equal to number of times for #4 above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I finished something today and it seems to be a success. So, maybe I won't get to #5 this time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, it's probably a little too junky for some of you, but --- it's my house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't think of this on my own. The last time I saw something like this was at <a href="http://withavintagetwist.blogspot.com/2012/01/we-were-in-cahoots.html">Cahoots in Hartselle</a>. This table there really made me determined to do this project at home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fdTQbbu63ZQ/Txr9XyI_pXI/AAAAAAAABuY/3D39DXViHbg/s1600/IMG_4047.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fdTQbbu63ZQ/Txr9XyI_pXI/AAAAAAAABuY/3D39DXViHbg/s640/IMG_4047.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found the perfect doors about a month ago at <a href="http://www.newmoonantiques.com/">New Moon Antiques</a> in Lawrenceburg, TN. They are shorter and more narrow than a full size door, and there were two of them. A single door was just too narrow for a dining table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have an old 1930s dining room suite and I haven't used the table in many years. I planned to use the base for my project. Here's how we started. (yes, construction in my foyer)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u0z9GIftGPk/T0o4fn28TuI/AAAAAAAACkI/2GZuqLI0r7E/s1600/20120225-IMG_3210.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u0z9GIftGPk/T0o4fn28TuI/AAAAAAAACkI/2GZuqLI0r7E/s640/20120225-IMG_3210.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The plan was to attach plywood to the table legs and just lay the doors on top so not to put screw holes in the doors unless we really had to for stability.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5xArPCEjbQs/T0o4jWZuYDI/AAAAAAAACkQ/Nkk8UesRMEo/s1600/20120225-IMG_3211.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5xArPCEjbQs/T0o4jWZuYDI/AAAAAAAACkQ/Nkk8UesRMEo/s640/20120225-IMG_3211.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looks good, right? Well, those legs are just too wobbly - old, and poor design.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e-YJCNQznsk/T0o4nFjuhvI/AAAAAAAACkY/IhYU9pWVZ3Y/s1600/20120225-IMG_3213.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e-YJCNQznsk/T0o4nFjuhvI/AAAAAAAACkY/IhYU9pWVZ3Y/s640/20120225-IMG_3213.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided to just place the doors on top of the dining table we are currently using. It had casters and we removed them to make up for the extra height the doors and glass added.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The glare prevents a great photo, but here it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know, it's very busy. But, you can't say there is nothing to look at in my house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VtkFX0EDlkc/T1vCBF5W97I/AAAAAAAAEYA/6R9hmUyjet8/s1600/20120310-IMG_3462.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VtkFX0EDlkc/T1vCBF5W97I/AAAAAAAAEYA/6R9hmUyjet8/s640/20120310-IMG_3462.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day I will edit out some of the small things and add more photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For anyone thinking of doing something similar, it is important to NOT use original photos or photos that you do not have additional copies of. I expect the sun to fade these so all of these are copies. Some of them I just printed on regular printer paper for the time being.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Before you judge --- the bottom photo is from Halloween. We really aren't like that. Those were really great costumes for both of us because I DO NOT watch football, and my husband is the Tennessee Vols fan, not me.</td></tr>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, moving on.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
An email from an unknown person is usually bogus, spam, deleted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One email I received brought this Bible into my possession temporarily.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lady explained that her hair dresser purchased a Bible at a flea market about ten years ago. Since the email lady worked in genealogy she was asked to research the handwritten family information inside the book. The research led her to some of my records on the internet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Long story short, we arranged a meeting (in a public place) for me to get the Bible in order for it to get into the hands of relatives of mine who are also descendants of the family documented in the Bible. </div>
