What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post. Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...
You really got some good deals at that last place. Tags popped successfully! I love that little note from the grandkid. I could have easily written the same thing when I was a kid too. Everyone here should know the lady didn't pass away. She just moved to a nursing home and had to declutter. That makes me feel better about it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't think any of the sales we hit up were from the dearly departed so that's good. I always feel weird about that and I always hear someone ask. I love the card from the grandkid too. Funny, I thought of your mom making you do thank you cards as a kid to your grandparents when I saw it. It's a lost art but one I still heavily support.
DeleteOh that reminded me of my grandpa's (mom's dad) last letter to me..my handwriting resembles his...and his is more spidery and Loved his sweet letter to me..when he passed, I treasured that letter more...I was 10 when he passed and my regret was he never got to play monopoly with me again as he promised he would in the letter...
ReplyDeletehad a traditional house warming party on Sunday so up early and wore a saree and went to it...was their official photographer:)
Thanks to the Mr. for clarifying about the lady's status. That makes me feel better. Still sad that she had to get rid of her 'stuff.' I dread that day. I save too much stuff that has meaning only to me. Sometimes I wonder what my kids will do when they go through my stuff after I'm gone. I'm sure it will all get thrown out, but I'm going to let them do it, if possible. It would be too hard for me to throw away all those wonderful cards, letters, pictures, etc.!
ReplyDeleteOMG... I think that thank you card was written by my ex! The hand writting and name are identical to his. I still have the letters he wrote me while we were dating. Somethings we seem to keep forever.
ReplyDeleteI am very sentimental. I watched this Lifetime movie yesterday called Mother and Child and I bawled like a baby.
ReplyDeleteDidn't do much this weekend, unfortunately that means making up for it today.
ReplyDeleteI'm sentimental about some stuff. The card would have made me happy/sad too.
I love stuff like that. When we look in antique shops I go for the post cards, never have bought any, but love reading the notes penned for loved ones. And yes they bring tears to thine eye.
ReplyDeleteI am nursing a poor knee, but spent the weekend doing genealogy research on my computer, which I love! I am a big dork over old cards...I have a hard time getting rid of them they're always so sentimental! Glad you had a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteAw, so sweet. :) I'm not sentimental at all and even I am feeling a little verklempt. I can't wait to see what fun things you're going to do with those lights!
