Fixing a Broken Shoe with a Key RingRecently, I realized that shoving my shoes off with my other foot was going to come back on me. It did. The little pot-metal clip that the Velcro strap went through broke. I can't afford shoe repair so I did it myself.

 

Setting my Thanksgiving TableI use all white dinnerware and all white accessories and serving pieces, much more than is pictured. The idea I came up with this year was the napkin decorations. I used the matching linen napkins to the tablecloth, and folded them with the flatware and fall leaves inside. I thought it looked so festive.

 

Bloody Bone & Brain Zombie DinnerMy mother bought some ingredients for me to experiment. She wanted me to cook something that could fit for Halloween dinner. So I thought of grilling some bones and made some red sauce and cooked pasta. The pasta looks like scattered brains with cheese looking like tiny white worms on it and the bone looked bloody yummy.

 

Cleaning the Clothes Dryer FilterWhen cleaning the lint filter on my dryer (which I do before every load), I use a small, damp paper towel. I have found that this works better than me licking the tips of my fingers to do it. The damp paper towel removes the lint better and cuts down on the dust that cleaning the filter creates.

Little Tippy Two Shoes (Rat Terrier)My daughter adopted Tippy from a shelter. She is an older dog (7 years) and they said there was less chance of her being adopted because of that, but my daughter loved her at first sight! Her cute little single pointing ear is how she got her name Tippy.

 

Homemade ChiliWhat's football season without chili? In my house of 3 sons, 1 son in-law, and a husband, and friends, I find keeping them chewing keeps the noise to a minimum. They like to pound their fist on the arm of my couch and chairs, and stamp their feet on the floors. Did you say *anger management?* No, I did! :)

What Breed Is My Dog?I bought a puppy and I doubt what I was told about its breed. The breeder told me it is a Spitz. It's 3 month old with fur on paw pads and a curled tail, but I think its ears are bigger than a Spitz's. Is it pure bred please?
