Yesterday was Mother’s Day and it was the perfect day. It was sunny and warm my dad cooked out for us. Yum brats and burgers. My sister and family was there and it was pleasant. My mom loved her gift from me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My mom loves strawberries and so I cross stitched this for her. It took not a long time to do since it was small. Bonus! My mom gave me this pattern a couple of years of ago also my parents are moving. My mom has a vast collection of frames she is finally get rid of. Yes this is one of her frames. All I had to provide was Aida and thread. Cost me nothing but time. Watching TV and cross stitching is the best!

Let’s go back to last Friday I had a freak out moment! I am scared of spiders. Small ones don’t bother me because I can kill them no problem. However the spider I saw on Friday made me cry. I have never cried before over a spider. It was medium size and I was frozen looking at it. I wanted to run away! It was black and had long freaky legs!

How does one kill such a spider? After being frozen in my tracks for about twenty minutes. Finally after freaky out a bit as well and scaring Scotty. He freaks out when I freak out and Koko just sits there and looks at me like I am strange. I couldn’t find the bleach however I did find some air freshener that one would spray in their air conditioner if it becomes stinky. It has all sorts of oils in it. I used that and got the fly swatter. There was no way I was getting close to it.

I gently sprayed it till it fell to the ground. While eeking I smashed the shit out of it! Then got the vacuum cleaner and sucked up the body because I wasn’t going to touch it. And that is how you kill a scary spider.
