I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. 

It's time to put away the white shoes, white pants and seersucker. 

Saturday, my mother and I went to Sevierville/Pigeon Forge to see what fall goodies we could find.  At Pendleton, I bought two pairs of pants, navy and black and two merino wool turtlenecks.  At Brooks Brothers, I bought a red/white striped blouse, a plum/white striped blouse and a plum v-neck merino wool sweater.  At Bass, I bought a pair of Weejuns with the tassles. At J Crew, I bought 3 Claire cardigans, camel, chartruese and burgandy. At Carter's, I bought my niece a navy cardigan, a pink turtleneck and a white turtleneck.  On the way out of town, we stopped at the Apple Barn and had a fried apple pie for lunch.  We stocked up on apple butter, chow chow and jams.

Sunday, I worked the gate at an Arts in the Park event.  It was a lot of fun.  Today, I have been lazy.  Isn't that what Labor Day is for?  I'm on vacation the remainder of the week.  I hope to get a few chores done and do some more shopping.  I'll keep you update.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

I'm still here.

I have a major personal project that I have been working on. More later. Not to worry. It's a great project.

This weekend I'm going to do my fall outlet shopping. I'll report next week on my finds.

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July holiday weekend.  I had a nice relaxing weekend.  It wasn't hard to relax since it rained non-stop for three days.  The temperature stayed in the low to mid 70's, which is extremely unusual for July in Alabama.

I'm not sure why, but this time of year I start thinking about my wish list for fall.  On my wish list so far is:

Pendleton pants in black, navy, gray and maybe camel
Blouses from Brooks Brothers Outlet
Cardigans
Kate Spade earrings
Eyeshadow and lipstick in fall colors
Brown flats to wear with jeans and khakis....maybe Clark's.

I can't wait to go on my next shopping trip.  I may have to wait until Labor Day weekend.

I hope everyone has a nice Wednesday.

I am still cleaning and organizing. It seems that the more I throw away, the more stuff that I have.  On the positive side, I have found stuff that has been lost. I hope to be finished soon...I hope.

Even though I'm not posting, I still keep up with what is going on in blogland.

I hope everyone has a great Monday!

I have been busy this weekend cleaning and organizing.  I have some magazines that I need to get rid of but can't bring myself to just throw them away.  I think I am going to offer them up on face book.  If no one wants them, I'm not sure what I will do with them. 

While cleaning and organizing, I decided to tackle a closet or two.  I found some clothes that I forgot that I own.  I am going to wash them and incorporate them into my present wardrobe.  Classics never go out of style.  I also found a few things that I had outgrown, but since I have lost 20 pounds since the first of the year, they fit.  YAY!  I feel like a new person.

Please continue to keep the people in Oklahoma in your prayers.  They have had more than their fair share of disaster.

I hope everyone has a good Monday.

Prayers for Oklahoma

We need to keep the people of Oklahoma in our thoughts and prayers.  I don't think I have ever seen anything so horrible.  Makes my problems look very small.

I'm Still Here

Things have been pretty busy lately.  I have been fairly busy at work.  I have also been busy at home trying to do some projects that I have neglected for a couple of years.  I have been trying to clean out and organize my belongings.  When I go to my mother's house, she keeps me busy cleaning and organizing.  She had trouble with her knees for a couple of years and neglected some things.  Now that she has two new knees, she is trying to catch up.  Maybe by mid-summer, we will have everything the way we want it.  Wish us luck!

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday!
