Hello there shopping friends.  It seems like we were just welcoming the month of February and here it is, the last day of the month.  Time waits for no one :-)

I looked at the Big Bonanza Silver Sale preview and saw a bracelet, necklace and 2 pairs of earrings that are interesting.  The necklace and bracelet are each nearly $173 so those will not be coming to my house.  The earrings?  Of the two, I might order one providing I see them on a model or manage to catch the presentation.

How are you today?

Me?  I'm sticking with stuff I really need like about 5 bags of mulch and a couple more bags of garden soil!

Good afternoon ladies, hope all is well.

Bernie - Thank you for starting us today, hope you end up with at least one piece of jewelry.  I really do not need any jewelry, I just cleaned out a bunch of the costume and sterling silver stuff to be donated.  I also have gold jewelry to sell one of these days.  Since I don't work anymore, I just don't wear it like I used to.  I try wear it when I do go out, even if it is just to the grocery store ( now I sound like some crazy lady).  Oh well.

Meallen - Very cute graphic.

hoosier - I am still deciding what I will need for my yard.  I know I need a bunch of stone for the flower beds.  Can't wait to haul that around the yard.

Not much has been going on here, I do need to start my spring cleaning in my upstairs.  I have been at a bit of a stand still on that project.  I have been enjoying our nice weather, it is supposed to rain tonight, and get colder for a couple days, we will see how that goes.  I know we are going to pay for our nice weather one of these days.  We will probably wake up to 3 feet of snow one morning. 

Well, I need to get the dog walked and some clothes ironed.  Hope everyone has a great day.

It is a cloudy 58° day, but we are still waiting for thunderstorms tonight.  We are expected to get 1-3" of snow tomorrow which I would rather have than rain.  Then 3 days of 30's followed by 50's for the weekend.  March will be coming in like a lion.

I am having a lazy day.  Tomorrow DH & I are having breakfast out, followed by some shopping for vacation needs.

I have been pondering about how fragile & precious our lives are.

My DH lost a classmate 3 years ago.  Very nice fellow with a lovely wife & 4 children.  He & his youngest son were running their very nice Brown Swiss farm.

9 Days ago the wife of my DH's classmate died unexpectedly at age 67.  She had flown to TX to see her navy son & his family.  When she arrived at the airport coming back home, she was met by her DD & complained of flu like symptoms.  The next day she was so bad that she was taken by ambulance to a very good hospital.  Comatose & died 2 days later from Meningitis.  Our town is in shock again.  

My heart goes out to her DC & DGC.

Hugs to all of you.

Good Afternoon and thanks for getting us started, Bernie.   Hope you find some jewelry you like that is affordable.  Like Susan, I have quite a bit of jewelry already, and I wear it to go to the grocery store, class, etc.  The only place I usually don't wear jewelry is to the gym.  It does seem that February flew away.

I am not too tempted by jewelry these days, but unlike hoosier, I'm not always as practical as I should be.  Hope your yardwork is enjoyable hoosier.

Cute grpahic, meallen.  We had a little celebration at the senior lunch program today -- decorations, and some candies in a few of the special cupcakes.  (Instead of the King's Cake).  It was nice.

Glad you are having mild weather, Susan, and I hope you don't have lots of bad weather in the future.

Waves to all of our posters and readers.

I will be going to the gym soon, and then I'll visit DH.  He was doing okay yesterday (not as sleepy), and I hope that same is true of today.  My youngest DGS just got a RA (resident assistant?) job at his college.  He is just a second semester Freshman, so it is rather unusual that he would qualify.  DD tells me that tuition is going up $4,000 next year, and the job will pay for the increase.  Win, win for DGS.  Needless to say, I'm very proud of him and my other grands.

Have a nice evening everyone!

Hugs,

Linda

Hello friends!  I am not tempted by jewelry very often anymore, as I bought way too much for a while and realized eventually that only a little bit was truly special. I finally got my engagement ring reshaped (had bent it somehow a year or so ago!) and new clasp on a simple silver chain that DH had bought for me with a journey pendant, one of my favorites.  I am so pleased with the place at the mall that I plan to take a couple more things in to have fixed.

I am VERY excited to go shopping for plants eventually.  I have 2 big planter pots to fill and hopefully can keep it at that. I do love plants and I suspect it will be just gorgeous up here once spring springs.

Last night I went to a new Celebrate Recovery group and when I got out there was a dusting of snow on my car! Crazier yet, driving home there was so much snow falling that I had to go realy slow.  It was done a couple hours later when DH hit the road, and melted this morning.

I found a really cute cropped jean jacket at Target the other day.  I nearly have a new wardrobe these days - found a wonderful pair of Levi's so bought another, 2 new shoes that will work up here one casual one slightly dressy, several new tops along the way.  I tried to make a capsule and only put so much in my closet but I'm finding that I don't have enough choices.  Still trying to organize the house.  I do a little at a time here and there.
