Having pretty much wrapped up my obligations and activities, I’ve jump started on my Sabbatical 6 weeks early. Being a difficult person who HAS TO HAVE every “t” crossed and every “i” dotted, I have had to spend time just thinking…. as I can look at a project to do, do it perfectly, only to Read more about #108… Confessions of Looking Back[…]
Ed is so much like Russ. They both work overtime to set things up…… “Why don’t you bring some stuff over to our garage sale and then we will have pizza?” I had no reason to suspicion anything other then that, so sure, I gathered up half a truckload, tagged it and off we went!

It finally happened. I packed up and shut down my booth at Rusty Chandelier…….my home away from home. Six years of having multiple booths both at Rusty and Jesse James Antique Malls. A great time in my life, somewhere to go, something to do. But a part of my plan to move into my September Read more about #101…Shut ‘er Down[…]
All my life I’ve had certain difficulties I’ve lived with because that’s just the way I am.

It’s a road trip to my mailbox. Walking down would take a while. Walking back, uphill could be dangerous in the heat if the vultures saw me take a break. So we leave in the morning for breakfast, a doctor’s appointment and grocery shopping. The girls were all facing us. Of course they are so Read more about #96…Girls Just Out Havin’ Fun![…]
This was a simpler fixer upper. Only 5 days of Russ having to live in chaos, not asking questions, and sometimes having to make the bed because I did not have time to even consider it. So the first pic shows our white room with magenta panels hung in the corners to match the one Read more about #95…Wrapping 2019 Decor Around a 1970’s VELVETEEN Loveseat![…]
RV camping with the club gang is the best! Clif walked the dogs in the rain. Jim B did his daily steps on the paths, Russ built 2 campfires and Diane H and I went back to nature and followed the trails. The Yard Sale app took us directly to Cameron MO, but was sparse Read more about #93…Back to Nature at Wallace State Park[…]
I remember the year I got color coded and discovered I was an “autumn”. Everything in my wardrobe changed. Probably for the 1st time in my life I started learning what colors flowed together and caused a magical coordinated look. Since I looked hot in my orange sweater, sitting behind the wheel of my red Read more about #90…”Let There Be Light”…unquote GOD[…]
There’s nothing sweeter then experiencing your daughter as an adult, as your mostest bestest friend, traveling companion and partner in crime…..So my 1st trip, with her a mother of 3, we drove from Kansas City to Los Angeles, round trip 3400 miles, to see family. We got sunburned in a Phoenix gas station at Read more about #89…Daughters, Mileage and Repacking the Car[…]
