Do not be afraid of painting brick. I repeat... DO NOT be afraid of paint. I have thought about this project for about three years and finally took the plunge.</div>

Behold my painted brick fireplace and white mantel. </div>

The outside brick on our house is the same color. I think, I want the german smear technique on the outside of the house. A girl can dream, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I removed everything, taped and cleaned the brick. I just wiped down the brick with a wet rag.</div>

Below you can see my "test" corner. That first brush stroke was so scary. </div>

I sent the below picture to my decorators. (aka: daughters) and they all agreed to get rid of the all the solid white bricks. Yikes, was I too late, the first bricks were painted over an hour and half ago. Not to worry, a rub down with a wet sock worked wonders. </div>

Remember my Craig's List find and buffet remodel?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://Buffet styling complete!">HERE</a><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjys4fcW__ZatjIFT55_l1gID_EMEZgdvyfyW4-ZB7x3kBm1MezCQ-F4Nt1GeJ9ke5UCmI-sCmUFW3VhKLDup6ovo9kG1OqX5Ku52Wn4TxWOTUd1DpBvMlNxh1Y3LQdrfthAg9IU62ovZxk/s1600/IMG_3768.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjys4fcW__ZatjIFT55_l1gID_EMEZgdvyfyW4-ZB7x3kBm1MezCQ-F4Nt1GeJ9ke5UCmI-sCmUFW3VhKLDup6ovo9kG1OqX5Ku52Wn4TxWOTUd1DpBvMlNxh1Y3LQdrfthAg9IU62ovZxk/s640/IMG_3768.JPG" width="426" /></a><br />
<br />
Well the first time I used it, I was not prepared for hot casseroles and scorching! I promise I used hot pads, but they are not enough to keep the heat away from the finish on the top of the buffet. I now place very nice cork pads underneath anything hot or warm and they work perfectly.<br />
<br />
Alas, three scorch marks. And the worst one below is dead center on the buffet. I have waited and waited and finally got up the courage to take a hot iron to the mess. </div>

So of course, I looked at youtube videos and gave it a try. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use only tea towels with very little or no fabric patten to them. I used my iron on the hot steam option. I placed down the tea towel and then placed the iron on top of the towel and gently swirled the iron around. I was only brave enough to swirl 4 or five times and take a peek at the results. I would then repeat and repeat until magically the scorch was gone. </div>

I will say my kitchen oak table did not clean up at all. So there must be something about the type of finish on the wood. </div>

I know my blog writing days are definitely slowing down. I initially began a blog to record family memories. Well... I now have Instagram and chat books. You see, every 60 posts to Instagram, alerts Chat Books to print and send me a tiny book. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thus, my blogging activity has slowed to a crawl. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

So, what have I been up to? See below:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our youngest got MARRIED! On a beach, in Cancun, in February and it was a spectacular week.</div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Born July 28, 1866, Beatrix Potter spent a solitary childhood with long holidays in the country. She loved to sketch animals and later invented stories about them. In 1902, Potter published <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Tale of Peter Rabbit</em>, which launched her career as a children's author. More than 20 other books for young audiences soon followed. Potter's tales of Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Benjamin Bunny and others have become children's classics. She died in 1943.</span></div>

I kind of miss the excitement of filling their baskets after they had gone to bed. Our family traditions was for the Easter Bunny to hide their filled basket and they had to search for them the next morning before Easter Sunday Mass. Do you have an Easter family tradition?</div>

And just like that, I have three married daughters and three great son-in-laws! My youngest daughter, who will forever be my baby, got married to her love. It was a destination wedding in Cancun! Destination weddings are like a week long family reunion, they are fabulous. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My sisters and their families were there to help celebrate. And our first wedding where the groom's family outnumbered us. Well, by two anyway.<br />
The bride, me in red and my sisters below!</div>

At the very last minute, I decided to have the grands over for a Valentine's Luncheon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is not too late for you to plan one! My inspiration was a children's book, Lilly's Chocolate Heart, by Kevin Henkes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My grands love this little book and all year long we read the book together, right before they head home. Then they each get a chocolate heart to gobble down at the end of the reading.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the luncheon this year, they presented a dramatic play, while I read the book. Their Mom's, Aunt and Papa were the audience. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me present our "Love Lunch"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(obviously, I don't know how to attach a video, MissLayton and MissRaylyn were saying cheers!)<br />

My mother-in-law has been living with us off and on now for over three years. We share this phase of our lives with my husband's brother in Georgia. She has many adorable phrases that remind me of her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If she gets a bit mixed up, her favorite saying is "Oh, I am just nutty as a fruitcake!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, in honor of Nicke, here is my recipe for "Nutty as a fruitcake fudge"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks, for the basic recipe <a href="http://happierthanapiginmud.blogspot.com/2017/11/fruitcake-white-chocolate-fudge-easy.html">here</a> .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lynn, with Happier than a Pig in Mud!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lynn, I am not sure why, but my fudge turned very soft, not firm. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My fruity ingredients were golden raisins, dried pineapple, dried mango, cranberries and apricots. The nutty part was pecans. The raisins may have sipped on some orange liqueur while they were waiting to be mixed in with the white chocolate!</div>

My mother-in-law was here for her 92nd birthday. How amazing to be 92 and still going strong. I thought a high tea birthday celebration was the perfect way to enjoy her special day with family and girlfriends. </div>

First up, the preparations. The tea buffet service was great. My sister immediately loved my electric tea pot. She said it reminded her of every hotel in England that she had ever visited. She said every room had a miniature version of my electric tea pot.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Miniature roses were placed in my silver mint julep cups. </div>

Note to self... to use my slotted powdered sugar spoon properly, the sugar needs to be sifted to a fine powder to flow properly when shaken over fruit or brownies. Instead of pimento cheese stuffed celery, I used cream cheese, crumbled bacon and chopped cranberries to fill the celery slices. </div>

My favorite munchie is below. Sliced apple topped with chicken salad. I started by thinly slicing next to the side of the apple core, a full slice of apple. I could get about six slices per apple. I then swiped a lemon slice across both sides to keep the apple from turning brown. I topped with my favorite chicken salad from Market Street. </div>

We had six littles attend the tea. Ages 2-4. I know, I was very brave to place their tea in glass creamers to pour themselves. Also, the lower shelf of the tea trolly held glass cups. All the children were wonderful. Not one spill or break! </div>

Party preparation tips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the cream cheese mixtures were made the night before. The cucumber sandwiches were made the morning of the party, covered and refrigerated till right before party time. The celery sticks were made the night before and refrigerated. All desserts were made days ahead of time, with the exception of the pound cake slices. We did assemble the pound cake and put it back in the refrigerator overnight and did not slice until right before the party. </div>
