I have a friend!
An old friend! (well...she's younger than me by two years but we've been friends foreverrrrrrrrrr)
This friend is going on a trip!
And X marks the spot.
She loves hot tea...
old books, antiques, and recycled, re-purposed items !
Her dining room wall is red and in the center hangs an old map. Her yard is always full of flowers in the spring and summer.
All that's left...
Is the packing of the bag to be done and the boarding of the plane to commence!
Couldn't make out where the X was????
New York City!
Yipee! The best part is that her oldest son lives there and she hasn't seen him since last summer. She and her Hubby get to take an extended trip to see him and he will act as tour guide. What fun they will have! She has promised to eat for me too when she goes...hmmmm...well, maybe not at every meal. Just those really, yummy ones that she's knows I would love too!
No animals were harmed in the making of this bag...
Just a little C.K.
Sometime in our life we all have to do things that make us uncomfortable!
In 3&1/2 hours one of those times will be here for me. Tonight is the Gala for our local Hospital Foundation. We have a wonderful, new hospital here in town and it's been accomplished in large part through the work and support of the foundation. I'm all for supporting the Foundation. I just wish we were going to a BBQ instead! Much more my speed.
Anyway, I have gathered, borrowed and bought everything I need to try and not shame Hubby Honey with my appearance. However, I need something to hold in my hands as we mill about and so, I made myself a "little black bag" and I thought you might like to see!
I've had this jacket for at least 12 yrs now and so I think the sacrifice was appropriate.
Yes...these pictures are graphic, so if you get queasy at the sight of what would seem to be a perfectly good garment being cut up and re-purposed then skip to the bottom of the page!
And so now the count down is at 3hrs and 20 minutes.......
When I see an invitation that says Valet Parking and Black Tie Optional....
well, I'll just be glad when it's over! But, I will put on my "happy faaaaaaaaace" and try to look the part!
