New Nurse Figurines

-


I have been a Registered Nurse for 31 years and have some “nursey stuff” around that I’ve collected over the years either because it was gifted to me or I saw it, liked it and bought it. Some items have also got broken and had to be trashed. So I decided to add some new nurse figurines to my hutch! I shopped on eBay as there are many to choose from; I’m fact, too many! LOL! But, also because I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on this little temporary hobby. My daughter-in-law is a Nurse Practitioner and is going for her Doctorate. I have given her little nurse-related gifts for Christmas and birthdays. My granddaughter is only four months old but, who knows, she might grow up to be a nurse, too! My daughter-in-law’s mother is a retired Registered Nurse. Maybe my granddaughter will follow in her mother’s and both grandmothers’ footsteps! I figure these little nurse figurines will one day go to my daughter-in-law and potentially my granddaughter and possibly future generations as well if they survive without getting broken or tossed out! 

I have ordered six figurines and two have arrived so far. The other four will be here within a day or two. Here they are! 

These two have come in already: 





*I did not pay $0.99 with free shipping for this one! I just went ahead with buy it now for $15 and free shipping. Not worth the bidding game for this little gem at $15!


The other four that are on their way! 


Addendum: This one has come in! In perfect condition!





For this next one, there was no option for buy it now or to submit an offer, but the auction was almost over so I put a max bid of $12 and let it play out. If I won, great; if not, oh well! LOL! I ended up winning at $9.99 plus the shipping! Not bad! But I have to mention that I rarely win the bids on things I want “super” bad! I always win the bids on items I wouldn’t cry about if I lost! 😆😆😆





Addendum: This one has come in! In perfect condition! 




Can’t wait to have all six of them! I think I’m going to add new “nursey stuff” here and there in the future as well! 👍

Too Much Rain!

We are getting way too much rain! Plus we had a snow melt with all of this rain! The yard is a mess! When walking down to the chicken coop, the lawn is so soft and squishy! I had to wear boots because my feet would have gotten drenched with regular footwear just walking across the lawn! No drought here!  Areas out front:  Our walkway from driveway to front of house! Crazy!   Areas out back:  I am glad the chicken run is relatively dry!  The first year with my chickens, they were all sinking in mud here! I had to add many bags of fine gravel, followed by many bags of sand to raise the ground level a few inches inside the run! It still wasn’t quite enough so I had to add many more bags of sand a couple more times until I could get the ground was raised enough to stay puddle-free! All in all, I raised the ground here about 7 inches from what it was! It was a lot of work! I can’t recall exactly how many bags of gravel plus sand were used. I’m guessing I used about 30, 50-pound bags of grav

Deck Work

We are in the process of replacing the deck boards and railings, as well as adding additional supports in various spots to enhance the strength of the deck over time. It was tough removing the old deck boards and getting the new ones into position. The new boards are pressure-treated and are 20 feet in length, so each board was very heavy and difficult to maneuver. Once we had the boards in place it took about 800 deck screws to secure them! That’s a lot of screwing, LOL! We still have the last two end boards to install, as well as the new railings, and then we need to work on the stairs. We are going with premade railings which will be easier to install after trimming them to fit properly. Since the trailer is tied up with the scrap boards and railings, we have to run to the dump when they’re open I was hoping to finish before the end of vacation but we decided to take a break and head up to New Hampshire to visit our son and his family!  Here is the progress so far!  We had the 20-fo

Christmas Decorating in Progress!

-

This year I decided to make some changes with some of my Christmas decorations! The old outdoor strings of lights needed to be replaced. One string no longer worked last year and I figured the others might not might not make it through another season. I have always enjoyed the multicolor lights but I know my husband loves blue lights so I decided to go with blue. They are very pretty but, to me, not as “Christmasy” as the multicolored lights. I could go to the store to get multicolored lights to replace them but it is just too much work at this point! We will remain decorated in blue for this Christmas anyway! LOL!!  But the highlight of my Christmas decorating this year is my new, pre-lit, artificial Christmas Tree! I had been using a pre-lit, artificial Christmas tree that I have had for at least ten years, possibly closer to 15 years! But it was only seven feet tall and looked really tiny in my post and beam living room with super high ceilings!  My new tree is twelve feet tall! And
