Miscellaneous items

In comments to my last post, Ms. Belinda mentioned photos of my zucchini pancakes.  I made some for lunch today, and took two pictures.  It does't look like much, but they sure are good.  I still have  fridge drawer full of zucchini - all smaller ones but still a lot for me to eat. 

Here are two cakes starting to cook, and the finished product.

Nothing fancy, just plain old home cooking.

It was a beautiful morning, and I wore a flannel shirt when I took Rocky for his first walk at 7am.  I didn't turn on the a/c until after 1pm.

I have a big gash on my leg, and this time Rocky didn't have anything to do with it.  It's the killer bed frame in my spare bedroom.  When my ex husband died the kids didn't want to get rid of his bedroom set.  It was from the 1950's and his Mom bought it when he was a boy.  It looks every bit like 50's furniture, although it has darkened  over the years and is not the same blond wood that was so popular back then.  No one really wanted to use it, so it was stored for years in Jeannie's garage.  When I moved and had a spare bedroom with room to set it up, I decided I might as well use it rather than go out and buy new furniture.

The big problem is that the footboard  of the bed sticks out a bit from the frame, and if you happen to walk by it too closely, it attacks your leg!  I have done that so many times, and did it again today, thus the  big gash on my leg.

Those of you who remember the 1950's will recall this style.  It is blond wood, although darkened with age, and the headboard has sliding doors on both sides with storage compartments on either side.
 

And this is the "killer" footboard!

I thought about trying to refinish this furniture as it is a really good set - they don't make stuff like this anymore, unless you are willing to pay an arm and a leg for it.  But I don't want to start something I won't finish, and I'm sure I wouldn't get very far.


My thanks to Donald for showing me what I was doing wrong in trying to send photos from my phone to my computer.  Now that I can do it correctly, I'm  determined to find reasons to use the knowledge.  Thus a blog with photos of zucchini pancakes and an old bedroom set!

Maybe I'll have something more interesting to write about tomorrow or the next day!
