I'm back. I hope everybody had a good week. I had a very relaxing week off. I could live like this, but it's back to work on Monday. I'm sure I will hear what Queenie was up to while I was gone.

Sunday, I worked at Art Sunday, a local arts in the park event that benefits educational programs. Labor Day, I worked at the store from 8:00 until 4:00. Tuesday, I took my mother and two of her friends to Atlanta to shop. (you know that I didn't complain) We went to the Atlanta Mart where we spent most of our time at Morgan & Co. We bought monogrammed jewelry and purses. Then it was off to Lenox Square. I went to Kiehl's, Aveda, Sephora, Lacoste and Kate Spade. I bought the usual at Kiehl's, Aveda and Sephora. At Lacoste, I bought a long sleeved red polo and some socks. At Kate Spade, I bought a 2009 refill for my planner. The sales girl gave me a huge shopping bag to put all my bags in. People probably thought I made a haul at Kate Spade. Wednesday, my mother and I drove over to Guntersville. It is about 20 miles away. We went into a couple of shops. I bought a Vera Bradley Ditty Bag that was marked 40% off. We then went to visit some of her former co-workers. Thursday, we washed the front porch and windows. I had to work at the store from 3:00 to 4:00 because the normal help had to leave early. When I started to leave, my car wouldn't start. It was my battery. Yesterday, I took my car and got the tires rotated, the brakes checked and a new battery. This afternoon, my mother and I are going to Huntsville to run a few errands. We are going to visit my sister's mother-in-law. She has been in the hospital since July 11. She fell and broke her ankle in two places. She got a major infection that would not heal. She eventually had to have part of her leg amputated. (She is a diabetic). Tomorrow, hopefully, I will be able to rest.

I hope everyone enjoys the remainder of the weekend.
