Do you have a hobby?

August 16, 2004

Yes, Called - true stuff. I always felt fiction was a waste of brain cell energy.

I guess the thing I like most, though, is the antique stuff. Here are a few samples. I tried to make the pics small so they wouldn't take up a lot of room, or be hard to load:

An antique chair I rescued from a yard sale for a dollar and recovered:

Another antique french wicker type chair that my cousin gave me:

A quilt rack I found at the local Goodwill, and a quilt from a yardsale:

An old hand crank icecream bucket. This has a story. This was in my family when I was a kid. My brother and I were playing in an old treehouse. I was on the ground, and he was in the tree. We used this bucket as a tote thing. It was on a rope, he'd let it down, I'd put stuff in it, and he'd pull it up. Well, one day, he let it down too fast, and it hit me on the top of the head, LOL! I think I saw stars!

Some old dippers and utensils. The aluminum colored one belonged to my granddad and granny. On top of the cabinets, various old dishes and stuff. The old bread box belonged to my granny also.:

I guess this cabinet is the only thing I"ve really bought at a real antique store. Hubby calls it "kindling wood", but I love it:

Then, a few things on top of the old cabinet. One is a Civil War belt buckel that my dad gave me, that was given to him by an elderly man he knew. Some antique jewelry, bottles, misc.

Some antique forks and a spoon. My dad made the hanging rack:

A leather bound Webster's dictionary from the late 1800's that my dad gave me:

An old bookcase that my aunt who is now 90 years old made. Various keepsakes on it:

Hope this didn't bore anyone and that it doesn't take too long to load. If so, I'll come back and delete.

uuummm. My favorite hobbies are playing guitar and singing. I also play a little golf when I have time (I'm more of a goofer than a golfer.) I like spending time on my computer and also reading and studying the Bible.

Thanks for sharing your pictures Calamity. I am interested in antiques and stuff, but if I look, I find junk, so I have given up on that and I just watch HGTV instead! HA!

My hobbies tend to change. Sometimes it's doing ebay, sometimes it's taking pics, always it's reading (not fiction), and always it's antique - looking and scrounging around for that unusual discarded thing that nobody else wants and getting it for a bargain at a thrift shop or flea market or yard sale, or somewhere. And my dog. Can't forget her. We like to snake hunt, LOL! :oww:

Dumpster diver too?

I love to cook too. I took two years of it in College. I love to create my own recipes, try different spices, herbs, flavourings. In fact in 1990 I won a Canada wide cooking contest the prize was a week long all expense paid trip to the Bahamas. My mother asked me to come up with a recipe for a contest that our hospital was sponsoring, through the Canadian Dietetic Society.

So I sat down one evening and wrote out two recipes sent them in and forgot about them. Until I got the phone call telling me I'd won. What a shock so mom and I went down to Toronto to a press conference in a restaurant there and they served my recipe that was the first time I'd ever tried it. When I made up the recipe it was off the top of my head and I just sent it in without trying it.

The recipe was Fish Steaks with Basil Walnut Sauce. It was pretty good actually! I was sure glad I could share that trip with my mom we had a great time and now that she is gone its a wonderful memory of her. The recipe was published in their cookbook and also in one of our nationwide magazines called Ch
