INTERESTING.....

Fall....and the road behind Nana's house

in Charleroi, Pennyslvania

If this road were nearby, the dogs and I would walk there until all the leaves were down. What a great time of year.

I Went to Church on Sunday ~

Fine. So I didn't go INSIDE. I cruised the parking lot. But I do BELIEVE.

I BELIEVE someone upstairs said: "C'mon...it's mid October - Let the Show Begin"!!!...

...and this is the result of that 'suggestion'.

WAKE UP!

IT'S MONDAY - THERE'S WORK TO DO - DING!

doesn't it feel like you just left the job mere hours ago? (like...57 hours ago!!??)

...SO I CAN GET STUFF DONE...

Scentsy Contribute Day 2009

This first picture can't make any sense until you watch the litte minute video and see the pic/story beneth. So There ;o).




So: Once the founders and employees decided they've enjoyed such success, they thought the directors, consultants, etc would enjoy being a part of giving back...

I decided to partake as long as 'giving back' was to an individual or family owned business wherein our "contribution" (MADE ON PURPOSE THIS DAY) would help them - they who we would otherwise not be visiting nor spending money in their store...

So: we chose JUST BAKED! Great bakery on Seven Mile in Lovely Livonia, Michigan. Tammy waited on us - she's not the owner, but so helpful and seemed slightly surprized about our mission...but pleased - and just kept packing up those gems of baby cakes in cupcake wrappers!

Yep - Melissa and I are displaying our purchases. Rumor has it this is also going on the Scentsy Corporate Website...aw, man, I shoulda put the shades on my face instead of atop head!!!

Autumn and Meliss buying another boatload of cupper-cakes and they're going to share with their neighbors tonite. It's about GIVING today - we're in the spirit. Yes, I'm taking mine back to the office. The fatter everyone gets the better I look.

We kept little Tammy hoppin for awhile.


And, then: what's for lunch. So: did we go to the big box store (Wxxxmart) or grocer(Kxxxer)..? NOPE. Off we go to buy the indgredients for a nice salad and sandwiches and snacks from again, a local family owned business. There we told the cashier about our mission. She didn't seem as impressed as Tammy.

Actually, now I'm sorry I didn't ask for Joe himself. I'm sure "Clara the Cashier" couldn't have cared less. I wonder if she realizes our purchases are her paycheck and her bosses success. hmm.

Regardless, I made Melissa raise her groceries in a victory stance. We did good today.

Here's my guess: when we arrive back at the office, we'll put the salad/sandwich stuff in the fridge and have a cup cake sampling. Let's see: 1/4 of 28 cupcakes equals 7 whole cupcakes. Yep: that'll be lunch!

Great Day!

I wonder...with these shoes, are women given the name of a DPM? You know, the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine who will be treating and referring patients for foot and ankle surgery?

I know - it's all about age and perception - and money.

I get it.

And I'm sticking with my Ugg and Fyre Boots.

The End.

Fall - Michigan - Cider - Doughnuts

Frankly, since our folks brought us only to this cider mill, we never knew there were others in Michigan until we grew up and people wanted to know if we lived in a hole somewhere.

But it's still my fave............

Franklin, Michigan

Yum.

Profoundness from afar....

Friend Lynn, living in France, broke her foot and had several care takers. Her tale about this so so funny - so real - but this little piece, however, I love:


"I explained another time, that I wanted an apple salad. “Ok, Lynn!” I thought we had discussed the serving of fruit. But no. Malika peeled the apple and put it whole on my plate. (See attached picture.) Did you know that peeled apples are kind of slimy to hold and eat?"

Yes...they are...and I can't stop laughing.....!!!

and then this:

"Malika also corrects my pronunciation when I speak French to her, and since she is Moroccan, I asked Genevieve if she had an accent, since I cannot tell.
“Oh, YES!” she laughed.
So now, since Malika is my only teacher, I will soon sound like an American trying to speak French like a Moroccan".

Ho, Geezzzzzz.........hahahahahaha!! Thanks Lynnie!

Reformed by a film on PBS and why I still love my Country

* * * * *

Need a refresher in history/civics and why this is the best place in the world? 12 hours with Ken Burns film has reformed (ok- reminded) me it's time to join a travel club and visit these places I OWN before I die. I have been awe-struck for 6 nites at 2 hours each....I need to shut my gaping mouth (in response to unbelieveable beauty and history) and start walking so I can cruise these places!!!!!
