The Largo queen moves in

I'm so glad Mary Jane convinced me to go shopping on Labor Day! I've been looking at bedroom furniture here and there for about 6 months and finally came across some that I liked at the right price at a furniture warehouse here in town. Its a queen size bedroom suit made by Largo.

Out with the old...

Preparing a pathway

In with the new











The rug MJ & Randy bought for me goes nicely don't you think?

Testing it out with my company. Carrie is here on her break from Highland and Tara came down for the weekend since she is back from NZ.
How nice to have so many people here to share it with!

AMAZING (and there's a happy ending!)

Sabbath Rest

A trip down memory lane... Mary Jane is sorting through a bunch of stuff in preparation for ... (have the beans been spilled yet? hmmm...). So we went through a box of Fisher Price Kitchen stuff that we all used to play with. I couldn't pass up taking a few things. Ryan used to have this story memorized about Shep the German Shepherd that saved the boys start to finish. Oh, the books from our childhood... the best stories ever... Loony Coon, Clever Queen, Spunky's Diary, Bernstein Bears, Swift Arrow, Taught by a Tiger... need I say more.

Tutt tutt, I'm soaked!

God answered my prayer, it rained! After weeks of 100+ scorching weather, what a relief. But next time I wish he would hold off until I'm back in my car on my way home... or at least when I know where my car is in the parking lot...

You know who you are

Although I didn't have cell phone service for most of my birthday, as soon as I came back into service my phone was making lots of noise. And when I got home, I found that 3 elves had broken in and left me presents (and groceries on accident)! (I might have been even more grateful if they had finished the puzzle still sitting on my floor.) Ya'll (dare I use this expression?) filled my inbox with special things too! Thanks to all of you who made me feel loved and special on my birthday!


At work Thursday I saw this quote on the desk calendar at the nurses station for August 8:

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

I thought Carrie's birthday card to me was even more appropriate:
Friends will be there for you when you do something stupid...
... but a good friend remembers to bring a camera.

You all know who you are...
