Getting back on track....

For the past few weeks, I feel like I have lived in a type of vacuum. I've had lots of plans and goals, but just haven't felt like moving forward. I've been stagnating. I think a lot of it is the heat and part of it is that life just gets so busy sometimes that you don't have time to think. But this morning, I feel like I'm back on track. I spent sometime this weekend doing a little organizing and planning. That always makes me happy to have some new plans and something to look forward to. I did have a good weekend and hope you did to. We went to a yard sale Saturday and I picked up a couple of items that I'm excited about. This little shelf was perfect for my thimble collection. I had put them away until I could find a small shadow box for them. This one cost me 20 cents.

I also found an adorable little blue bowl to add to my blue items I put on my bathroom shelf. Here is the bowl which also only cost me 20 cents.

Here it is on the shelf. I'm thinking about putting either a tea candle in it or some little fancy soaps. Would appreciate your ideas.

We had a funny incident with my granddaughter Shelby at church yesterday. Never ever underestimate the determination of a two year old who is getting ready to turn three.

You can see her cute little sun dress she has on. Well, during that time between Sunday School and Church, I took her to get a drink of water. She got a drop of water about the size of a dime on her dress. She told me she needed to change because her dress was wet. I explained that it was just a drop and it would dry in a minute. She argued that it was wet and she needed to change. I told her she didn't need to and we went on into the sanctuary. I was putting her bag and my purse on the pew, getting ready to go to the choir room and she was right behind me. I turned around and there she stood in her "undies" and sandals....nothing else. Her dress was pooled around her feet. I said "Shelby Rayne!" She looked at me with that look that only a toddler can do and stated very firmly, I TOLD you I needed to change clothes. I just lost it. My grandchildren never seize to amaze me. I have learned not to let those sweet innocent faces fool me one bit.



I went to JC Penny's with my daughter Saturday. She was doing some school clothes shopping for her son. Penny's was having this huge sale and she had some coupons and then there was a 15% off everything you bought sale going on. She got him 4 or 5 new button up the front dress shirts like he always wants to wear. She got him a pair of jeans and 3 or 4 novelty t-shirts. Everything was on clearance racks and as the lady rang them up, they were ringing up even lower than the clearance price. My daughter asked if that was because of the 15% and the clerk said no, they had marked down prices even further in the computer but hadn't changed the store signs yet. She was getting $18.00 dress shirts for around $3.00 or less. Then when it was all rang up, she got the additional 15% discount. She had $30.00 in coupons she had accumulated from them. Bottom line....$175.00 worth of clothes...her cost....$22.00. I thought she was going to have a heart attack.

Well that's my weekend wrap up. Time to get back to task and attack my week. Hope everybody has a blessed week.
