YAY!!!!i got some furniture! i got some furniture!! actually, it's from the same set as the ginormous pieces i bought before that couldn't make the turn at the top of my stairs. only these are the smaller pieces. practically the whole point of getting new was to have MORE drawers, and these pieces won't have MORE. but at least they'll match the other new stuff in the room better than my old furniture does. my old furniture used to belong to my late aunt. we got it about 15 years ago, and it was about 25 years old then. i never liked it, because my aunt's taste was what i like to call "Spanish Inquisition" style. dark, ornately carved scary pieces of furniture that are NOT cool antiques. her house had a lot of red and gold and dark furnture and swords hanging on the walls and paintings of bullfighters and stuff. not my thing....
Linda, your walks must be helping the old A1C! wish i had your ambition!
Nana L, you are THE Nana. hands down.
Trudy, so sad about your BIL. it will be so hard for his wife, for sure. one of my best friends is having surgery for uterine cancer tomorrow. this happened totally out of the blue, and she's scared to pieces. it is so hard when things are not within your power to control. i've never quite got the hang of the "let go, let God" thing. wish i could.
Chris, nothing so precious as something from the hands of a person who loves you. the shortbread seems like the perfect gift. you are a GOOD girl!
just got off SKYPE with my son and The Grandmen. the little guys weren't much in the mood, but we did get to see them and talk to my son, so that's always good. honestly. SKYPE. i want to kiss it on the mouth. it's like a miracle to me.
well. happy rest-of-the-weekend, ladies. do what you love.
