Life and Time Marches on.

Well, I've walked three times this week, that is more than last week, I am getting there!!!!!! I made up my mind to get back in the groove, as I've fudged long enough. The weather is getting better, and I am determined to get back they way I was before my partner quit coming to walk with me. I have to rely on me, myself and I. The buck stops here, so with that said I am going to do it!!!!!!! My lab results were good, and I am thankful for that. Had worried some that it had gone to heck with not walking my usual. I saw ducklings, goslings and baby turtles on my walks this week, always makes my day to discover them. I take my camera and take pictures as I walk along the lake shore. My roses are blooming, and Dahlias are coming up nicely. I am a happy camper!! My daughter's oldest daughter has graduated from high school. The weather was quite windy and cool, sun made an appearance after it was over, guess better late than never!!! We had a lovely dinner out at a Japanese restaurant. Yum!!! The cake my daughter baked was yummy as well. Got pictures and so filed them away for future memories. Next one in two years, how fast time is going by. My grandson who is in the service is out in July, and that will be good. With the garden club having a walk on Saturday, our Antique club having their installation and estates sales every now and then, things keep me hopping. There's one tomorrow so that is three weekends in a row for that. Found some lovely things, so the hunt goes on!!!!! Hopefully will have more pictures soon. Antique Rose

Busy Weekend

Hello,
Friday started off the weekend. A pretty good one this time, wished I had more money to spend, but got some great buys non the less. Some creamers, cups and saucers, and so old pictures which I think one of the granddaughters will like as they chronicle the life of one from baby to her 5o Th wedding anniversary. Interesting, I believe. We'll see how she likes them. Then Saturday we went back, husband wanted to check things out, and everything was 20% off, and I found some really great buys on old linens. I got six large scarves and five small ones and a hand-painted Nippon plate for a total of six dollars and 60 cents!!! Whoopee!!! What a buy!!! I don't often find those bargains. :-) Then after lunch my husband and I took a ride to Danville. I found a bargain figurine(new) at 75% off that was a 4Th of July theme/patriotic with a soldier on a horse with a flag(he was a 1776 type). Nice. Can always use that for different holidays. Then got two bags with cute painted ladies on them, one for my sister who collects watermelon. I have decided that we will go there on our next Antique trip. One of my favorite stores, "The Cottage Jewel", is moving to a larger facility and she said that there was going to be a couple of other stores opening soon. The ladies of the club have enjoyed our other trips there. You are limited to 25 radius for our trips and so we repeat certain areas. I don't think they will be disappointed at all. I found out today that my grandson who is visiting from New York will be leaving tomorrow, so that is sad, but we loved getting to see him two times instead of the usual once a year visit. He will be attending classes for 10 months in Syracuse, New York. Well, that is it for now. Ta Ta Antique Rose

Happenings this past week.

I've had a few busy days the past week. Last weekend a Antique Faire in a local town, which my daughter and granddaughters met me and we explored together. It was fun, and I found a few things for them, as well as a couple of things for myself. It is always fun to do things with them, instead of going alone. They all have different things they collect and get excited over finding!! Then this past Thursday, the middle granddaughter graduated from 8th grade. Next fall will be a new beginning for her. High school!! Yikes, seems only yesterday it was the beginning of kindergarten for her. Time is one thing that goes by quickly, and you can't stop, so you go with the flow!! Wow!! before you know it, they will be in college, and own their own. Stop!! That means that I will be older!! Well, I won't think about that, as that goes without question, and I won't or can't do anything about that. :-)!! Anyway, I went to an estate sale on Friday, and found a cute bedspread, and some other rose items. It was fun, and I am using the spread. It was quite nice after I washed it, no stains, and it fit my bed just right. A really good price, my daughter informs me, compared to the ones she's seen on the blogsites she checks. So I got a good deal!! Yea, for me. I heard from my grandson, he is fine. Hadn't heard from him in a while, he said I hadn't written, but I had, don't know where the messages went, somewhere in computerland, as he said he didn't get them!! That really is frustrating when that happens, but that is a computer for you!!! Perhaps I hit the wrong button or something like that. :-( I will have to be more careful, won't I?!! Well, I have to get busy and do a few things to get ready for the new week, and new month, where did May go!?!! Months are going by like weeks. Oh, yes, did go to valley this weekend too, everything there is fine, and had a great lunch out at our favorite Japanese eatery. Thanks to the sister in law, who treated us to lunch!!!
