grocery store floral department
The certainly fascinated me!
Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!

Saturday was a
beautiful Summer
day to wander the
park. Ken had a call
to make at one the
county parks, so I
went with him.
After he was finished
working we drove
around the park.
The ducks were out
and about.
The lake was so pretty
with the sun shining
on it.
People out paddling.
Lots of boats!
Kids and Dad fishing--
so fun.

Ken and I stopped
at a moving sale
recently and these
are the goodies I
picked up.
Above: A heavy wooden
stand--$2.00 A bargain!
I think I will put it to use
when I do my Fall
decorating.
Two metal trays--$1.00
for both of them! Each
one had it's original tag
from Pier 1--$10.00
EACH!!!!
A BIG bargain here!
I think I may paint one an
Antique White. I don't think
I want two that look alike.
We'll see.
Any bargains for you lately?
Regular programming will
resume after Labor Day so
stay tuned!!

We were out driving a
couple of evenings
ago.
As we were going along
I spied this!
A hot air balloon!
It was playing peek a boo with us
at times.
As we rounded a corner,
there it was! I had Ken
stop the car and I got out
to get this shot. You could
hear them firing the balloon
to get it higher. It was a
beautiful summer evening
and this was an added
surprise!

The sun is setting on
Summer activities for
me. School is in session
now and that means no
more late nights and
sleeping in. Now it's
bedtime earlier and
getting up earlier.

Hi---Popping in for
a minute.
See that clock up
there? Yea, THAT
one...Tomorrow at
THAT time my Summer
vacation will be OVER
and I will officially be
back at school!
Actually, I am looking
forward to it. As some
of you know, last year
was a bear! We are
pretty confident that
this year will be MUCH
better. Really it can't
be worse that last
year.
So let's raise our glasses
to a new school year and
wish ALL going back THE
BEST!!
Cheers!!
On a serious note, we have
a blog friend that needs our
prayers!
Katharine at JUST A THOUGHT
has recieved some news
regarding her health and we
need to send prayers her way.
I know she will appreciate them.
THANKS!!!

Here is a great
organizational
idea for kids
AND adults!
Paint five clipboards
with chalkboard paint
then write the days of
the week at the top.
I'm thinking they used
vinyl letters of their
days.
Don't forget the chalk
and eraser!
For Kids:
1. Class schedules
2. Sports activites
3. Extra curricular
activites
This will give your
child a visual cue as
to how to dress for
the day.
ie: PE-pants or shorts,
comfy top and tennis
shoes.
For Adults:
1. Meetings for the
week
2. Children's sports
activites
3. Specific "To Do's"
4. Appointments
Have fun!
This will be my last
post for a bit. I am
taking a break.
School starts on
Friday for me and
I need to get myself
back into "school mode."
I'll be checking in on
everyone when I can.

Earlier this week my
best friend (known
each other since
Kindergarten) came
to dinner. We celebrated
her 50th. I can't believe
we are at this milestone !
When I was at The Dollar
Tree, these glasses were
front and center by the
front door. I knew right way
that I needed to get one for
THE birthday girl!!
There were a couple of
versions. I liked this one
because it had the candles
on it.
I think I might go back get
a few to have on hand for
upcoming birthdays. They
are as cute asncan be.
Don't you think?
~Keep on Dreaming~
It is THAT time for a
lot of us. But for those
of you who don't have
to go back or don't have
kids going back, think of
it as a time for getting re-
organized.
