127 Yard Sale!

Last weekend Precious Husband and I along with good friends, Nancy and Darrel here in Kentucky took off bright and early (6 AM!) to attend our first World's Largest Yard Sale - 127 Yard Sale.  This was something I have read about for years and have wanted to do.  It was interesting and fun.  You can't image all the things you come across as you venture down Highway 127.  We were gone all day and didn't get too far but we sure had fun.

My purchase for the day was an eight place setting of Homer Laughlin Eggshell Georgian china.

Those that know our situation know this is the last thing I needed to buy but hey, I just could not resist!  I love it, I know their value and worst case scenario I can resell them after I have played with all their beauty for a while!

Isn't it pretty?  I also got the covered vegetable casserole.

Another treat was seeing a field of goats.  So cute and so nosey.  Quite photogenic I think.

I didn't buy anything at the man's yard sale but I enjoyed the goats.

Love and Hugs,

Mèmére 

Trip To The Pumpkin Patch

Big brother came home from college for the weekend so we all went to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkins today.  I think I would caption this photo, "How about this one?"

Love and Hugs,

Mèmére

Always Fun!

 

I hope I never get too old for my bubbles!

Thursday Fun

I love to read to my grandkids when we are together and Dr. Seuss is always a fun read.  Last night we read The Cat's Quizzer and this just caught my funny bone: 

What would you do if

you sprouted a daisy?

Would you run and see your dentist?

Would you water it 

and grow more of them 

and sell them

to your friends?

Or woud you try

to grow some roses?

They’re worth a lot more.

Southern Arizona

Sharing more pictures of our day trip to south-eastern Arizona.  It was a beautiful day and country I had not seen before yet all in my own home state of Arizona.

This is the Singing Wind Bookstore we found way in seemingly in nowhere. 

Below is the cute resident donkey that greeted us and posed for pictures when we arrived at the bookstore.

 

It was fun finding formations in the rocks.  Can you see what looks to be a mushroom above?

Here it is up close.

So, can you see Cochise's head?

Lots of old trees with such character.  I so enjoyed our day.

Note To Precious Husband

Precious Husband is one of my faithful readers so today I thought I would write just to him ; )

Dear Precious Husband,

We have our London experience.  We have our memories of Flagstaff.  What I want to know is how you will refer to last Sunday night?  Will you call it the P F Chang evening?  Will you call it "The Chapel" night?  Just curious how you will refer to it.

I love you very much and I enjoy making memories with you!

Yours Forever,
Mrs. Paul

My New Pets

I want some chickens but Precious Husband tells me no.  Now in his defense he doesn't tell me no very often at all but to having chickens in the backyard he said no.  So the next best thing I guess are these two cutsie roosters I got yesterday at The Dump in Cave Creek.  Aren't they the cutest thing ever?

My sister,  niece and I had a great time Monday and Tuesday shopping and looking for treasures.  Today we met my oldest son for lunch and then they hit the freeway to head for home.  We had a great time together and shared lots of laughs!!

Precious Husband likes my chickens too.

Company Fun

My sister and her daughter arrived last night about 11:45 PM.  Had fun today running them around to craft stores and thrift shops.  My sister is a shopper to say the least and it is fun watching my cute little niece try to keep her mother corralled.

Tonight I made my chicken enchiladas for dinner tomorrow night and just finished making waffle batter for breakfast in the morning.  Precious husband is loving having the company because it means more than cereal and fruit for breakfast : )

Having fun sharing recipes with my niece who is a newlywed.  This is the niece that was born 2 nights before I got married making it impossible for my sister and brother-in-law to attend our wedding.  My sister and niece both live in California. 

Trying to Get Fancy?

Trying something new today.  Tried my hand at Photobucket last night and this is my first attempt.  I think this could be quite fun but I need to do lots of practicing with trial and error.

Love That Pooh Bear!

We sure had a good time at Disneyland with our daughter and her family.  Our 4 grandkids went full steam from morning to night and loved every minute of the excitement.

The grandkids are safely home in Arizona now and back to their routines.  Precious Husband and I spent the night in San Louis Obispo and are now headed up the coast and then will head inland to arrive at my mom's tonight.  Having picture perfect weather and enjoying that so much knowing it is 110* already at home.

Yesterday we had fun thrift shopping and antiquing.  Found a couple of treasures : )

Will get more pictures of grandkids up hopefully Monday.  Got some very cute shots.
