Pink Saturday Apron Giveaway #6

Our weather has changed dramatically in the past few days, getting much colder. I looked out the patio window this morning and thought I'd get a few pictures of the last vestiges of summer. Fall is officially here. Our cherry tree got zapped by a frost a few nights ago, but today it's looking even more frosted. I can see Love Bunny's mower tracks in the grass. It crunched under my feet at about 9 am this morning. And just to the right in the photo are the tomato plants dying. Hubs picked the last ones a few days ago and we are now trying to distribute them to as many neighbors as we can! This...

Rooms and Random Thoughts

We've returned from a week with our granddaughter and her family. It was wonderful and very tiring for both of us, but we did bond a bit with Caroline. She's such a delight.I woke up yesterday at 4 am and got up about 5 am, came in here and surfed a while, went back to bed at 6 and finally got up at 7 am. I hit the floor running and finally about 9 pm I sat down. It was the busiest day I've had for months.Rooms I've thought were very pretty.

Off this week…

not doing anything exciting – unless you find yard and house work exciting – but I’m not working at Jubilee Furniture.  No Tuesday customer inspiration.  No Friday update post.  Sorry!  Some day I hope to have someone else take photos and fill in when I’m out – but until then, I got nothing. Though I’m not working – Dan and Chris are – and there are tons of pick ups scheduled and they all sound amazing!  Also, tomorrow the guys will start a complete hotel donation from the Hampton Inn in Carol Stream (the hotel has been purchased and the new owners are remodeling)...

There’s nothing unwanted about the fabulous furniture found at Jubilee each week!

Several months ago I started getting unwanted emails offering me things like: free credit scores, dating for people 50 and older, how to make $600 a day from my home and auto deals.  Instead of simply deleting these emails – because I was afraid they would multiple if I did – I careful opened each one and politely unsubscribed – both to the company offering the deal and the company sending the email. And thus started a feud I’m still having with spam email – and I am not kidding, and you won’t be surprised, when I tell you spam email is winning.  However, I’m too invested –and too stubborn...
