FREDDIE FUNGUS

Thanks to some much needed rain the last few days, I had a grand time tromping around in my pine thicket with the trusty camera, sweating my buns off in the heavy humidity and high 90's, in search of the mushrooms which popped up all under the trees in the damp blanket of pine straw.  I wallowed around on the ground with the fire ants and mud and loved every minute of it.  Isn't God just awesome?

Our grand kids all detest eating mushrooms and so all mushrooms (those we eat and those we take pics of) are known as Freddie Fungus at our house in an effort to get them to try the spaghetti sauce with mushrooms in it.  Actually some of them have tried Freddie Fungus sauce and found it pretty tasty. 

PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS

Do you just despise all the junk that gets hung on the fridge?  In an effort to cut down on the clutter, I came up with an idea that uses found/free magnetic pieces.  Every so often we get a free telephone book and it always has an advertisement for a local lawyer (ambulance chaser) or some other type of business which is on a 5" x 5" magnetic piece.   So, I print out current pictures of the grands and attach them with scrapbooking adhesive dots to the free magnetic pieces.  The kids love to see themselves on the fridge, the little ones love to play with them and constantly rearrange.  It would be such a shame to throw old Richard Schwartz in the trash and waste a good magnet.  Several years I managed to come home with about 50 of the magnets from my office phonebooks and used them for children's Sunday School projects.
