When I got up to the cashier she said automatically, “Did you find everything you needed?” I said deadpan, “No, I couldn’t find the pumpkins. You didn’t have any in the store.” She stopped what she was doing and just looked at me like I was the most dimwitted person she had ever met. If I could have kept a straight face she would have had a great story at the end of her shift.
My sorority sister once told me of a guy who was hitting on her and uttered the titled phrase in a thick foreign accent in one complete sentence and breath. Insincerity was never so charming. It became a catch phrase between us. I’ve found some products that sincerely can have an impact on beauty.Yes, yes, really!

I was at South Coast Plaza yesterday. It is an outing. This is what I learned: The sales staff at Tiffany’s are courteous, friendly and professional. She gave me a blue bag to take home although I shipped my gifts. The sales staff at Ralph Lauren’s are snobby, cold and aloof. I wanted to tell the sales girl, “Honey, you may be 5’11”, thin as a whippet and twenty-something, but you’re the one working on a beautiful Saturday for minimum… [Read More]
Three weeks of total abandoned bliss. Leaf peepers extraordinaire. Covered bridge hunters. Newlyweds. Need I say more? The Arlington Inn ~ VermontWe have very few pics of us taken together since we were mostly out driving around seeing the sites and not many people could focus my real deal camera.I had a cold here. Hence the red nose. You say ‘antihistamines with an alcohol chaser’ like it’s a bad thing. I used my wiley womanly ways to force him to… [Read More]
Twenty six years ago today I became your bride and you,my husband. What was a beautiful friendship for nine years became a walk down the aisle on this day. With the dawn of October 8, 1983 came a soft rain and grey skies. I thought of the saying, “Happy is the bride the sun shines upon.” I was worried there was no sun to shine on me and this was an inauspicious omen. At 4 o’clock the stained glassed windows… [Read More]
Pearls. I love ’em! Phlox Flats Escutcheon Bracelet Bubble Bath Bangle Kate Spade Bow & Faux Pearl Bracelet A coinkydink that they are my birthstone? I think not!
For one reason or the other it has proven to have been quite a week and I’m thankful it’s over. I’ll be doing this ~ It’s time for a seasonal cleaning. I’m looking forward to plugging into a higher energy source this weekend to clean out all the mental, spiritual and physical cobwebs that have gathered this week. I will come back with a clear mind and heart, refreshed and renewed, positively polished & perky! I’ll be excited to share… [Read More]
Thinking I need a holiday project and being inspired by Tin Tin’s The Trad blog, I decided to research some possibilities to make them from kits. The last time I tackled a needlepoint project I didn’t need cheaters and the boys were babies. Yikes! A long time ago! They would look great with those pair of khakis, be a conversation piece and perhaps a family heirloom.Wouldn’t that be nice? Here are some links for kits that I found. If all… [Read More]
