Cheesy Refrigerator Magnet for Monday, September 8, 2014
"Multnomah Falls", photo-magnet, circa 2009
Five years ago in September, on a semi-honeymoon, my husband and I spent a week traveling around Portland, Oregon with family (hence the "semi-" aspect). Fortunately, we have great good fun traveling with family. Hiking trails up the Multnomah Falls was no exception. Yes - that's a people bridge there, with wee folk you can just barely see. The whole Columbia River area was so beautiful, definitely on our list of re-visits (maybe even a move....).
Magnet Monday features a selection from our semi-vast and ever growing collection of cheesy refrigerator magnets. Without doubt the perfect souvenir. Only slightly less cheesy than collecting snow globes but maybe a lot easier to smuggle in your bra. If need be. Which I hope it never is. Unless it's really worth it.
News that made me stop what I was doing to look it up.
Weekly Shits n' Giggles
- And ridiculing this is why I no longer follow AFP. Seriously people: this is not awkward, this is awesome!
- For this kind of money, I too could be a tool. I prefer to be an adze.
- Hey! Someone else uses blooming basil for pesto too!! (I wish my canning was this organized...).
Weekend Aims
- A visit to family - Grandparents' Day and a belated celebration of my father's 89th birthday. Hats off to you sir, the fish are still biting.
- Hand-drafting clothing patterns for a 120 year old doll. Look for posts.
- Try not to fall into the rabbit hole that is Pinterest... sigh...
I had a major and distressing WTF moment yesterday: I discovered triclosan is lurking in my favorite toothpaste.

"Philadelphia", Liberty bell, patriot soldiers, Betsy Ross, circa 2010
I cannot use the word "hanky" without automatically thinking "panky." Usually that idea stays in my head, but sometimes I have a leaky mouth valve. It doesn't help that I love work association games.

"What a Cheesy Magnet", Wisconsin shaped cheese with mouse and slogan, circa 2005
The Tone-Setter. We purchased it at the Cheese Castle in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I don't know how to possibly extol the virtues of just how cheesy this magnet is. How do you expand on finding this at a castle that sells cheese? I mean, it really is a castle (with a turret and a drawbridge and everything!).
