My husband and I are off work for a 4-day weekend! We went to breakfast at Our Country Hearts in Endicott, and afterward went shopping in their giftshop. Naturally, I felt I had to stimulate the economy once again, so I bought this "Nature Calls" plaque to go with the outhouse theme in my bathroom. I love it! I also picked out an oak garbage container for my kitchen, and my husband bought it for me. It's a beautiful day out today, after a very cold last couple of days----just in time for my mini vacation! Oh, we also ordered new cushions for our large glider rocker. They won't be ready for 6-8 weeks, but then I'll have a nice pattern that will coordinate with the new sofa and chair we bought in the fall. I'm off for a week starting the 23rd of May, and will probably spend a large part of it spring cleaning, and maybe take a trip to Savona to visit with my sister, and my brother from New Orleans,who will be visiting with her at that time. So I have a lot to look forward to, and can't wait for the warmer weather.

  1. LOVE THE SIGN, Carol! It is so simple and natural looking. I noticed the leaf handles on the cabinet, also--nice!
    One thing about your blog: do you "preview" before you post it, as some of the words get split up all down the side of the picture and are hard to read. Am I the only one who sees this? Anyway, you can go back in and "edit" the post, making hard returns to get the text all together. Just a suggestion:)
    Enjoy your mini vacation. You surely deserve it!
    Happy Easter to you and all your family too! Hugs! (I expect more posts, too, with your being home). PS Yankees are stinking so far!!!!
