NYC Sibling Trip #1

Hold on to your hats folks.
We took lots, and lots, and lots of pictures
while visiting NYC with my brothers,
sister, and their mates.  I will be posting pictures soon,
but this post doesn't have any pictures because
I haven't rested up enough yet to pick photos to post.
Instead we all got together on the last night
of our trip and brainstormed an ABC list
of the adventure.  As you might imagine, the teacher sibling
instigated this, but good sports that they all are,

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me.

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's.

Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
