I don't know why I love buttons, but I do. When we were cleaning out my folks house after my dad died, one of the few things I wanted was my mother's button tin, which I remembered always being there. A couple of years later when my mom's sister died and we were cleaning out her house, I found her button tin, which was probably my grandmother's before it was my aunt's. So I have that, too. When another aunt heard about it, she gave me HER mother's button box, which I never really touched in case anyone in her family actually wants it. (Her daughter wouldn't, I'm sure, but you never know if a grandchild would.) So when Butch's mom passed and they asked us if we wanted anything of hers, I automatically asked if she kept a button box. She didn't, but Butch's sister remembered it when her MIL died and now I have her MIL's button box. I have become the unofficial keeper of the buttons.
These buttons are on a sweater I just bought, one of the reasons I liked the sweater was the buttons.

279/365 buttons
278/365 What's in the mail?
I don't watch a whole lot of TV because of my schedule. If I want to watch something in primetime, I have to DVR it. So my list of must-sees is very small. 'Grey's Anatomy', 'Top Chef', 'Project Runway' and in the past "Lost" are among the few I watch. I haven't seen a primetime comedy show since "Roseanne". (Which will always be my favorite.) But during the summer, I always watch "Big Brother", one of my guilty pleasures which started when I was showing clydesdales and I have continued to follow. I kept seeing commercials for "Big Bang Theory" and always loved Johnny Galecki on Roseanne, so decided to Netflix the series. What a delight! Why didn't anyone tell me about this show before? LOL! We are now into season two, and DVR-ing the current ones. Even Butch chuckles at it. And that has to be THE best theme song to a TV show ever.

Casper tends to get underfoot when we are in the kitchen and she is always between the place where we chop things and the stove. I finally just dragged one of her beds in and put it near the chopping station (so she can catch anything that falls) and she was really good about staying put.
276/365 The Quinlan Trinity
In my family it isn't complete without onion, celery and carrots. The beginnings of a pot of soup--the trinity has joined a large pile of cabbage. It will be followed with ham and white beans. (My favorite soup.)
275/365 Morning sun
Behind my neighbor's house. It's nice to see after a couple of days of torrential rain and clouds.
