Good morning! I didn’t have anything to post over the weekend — it was just another weekend of dreary, rainy weather. Yesterday I felt a bit off; scratchy throat and tired, so didn’t do much of anything. Ken worked all weekend.

I did have to run to Anderson Saturday to buy dog food at Sam’s Club. On the way home, I stopped at this little consignment shop and found a cute jacket dress and a pretty blouse for cheap. Both were brand new even. I wore the dress to work today and have received all kinds of compliments on it. It’s pink sleeveless sheath made out of a cotton/polyester knit, so it’s super comfortable. The jacket has lime green trim, pink sequins and around the collar, it has pink, green and white beads. The jacket also has palm trees and bananas embroidered on it and at the hem, it has 4 monkeys appliqued on each side. There’s also a monkey and palm tree embroidered on the bottom left side of the dress. It’s really cute!

The blouse is a satiny material that’s done up in these stiff, wide pleats. It has diamond buttons down the front and on the cuffs of the 3/4 sleeves. The collar stands up a bit to frame my face. It’s a rose color and very elegant looking with my black pants. I’ll save that for the dog show this weekend. I spent a grand total of $41 (including tax) on the two items. Both were brand new with the tags still attached! I think I got a bargain!

I’m having lunch with Lee Phillips today. She used to be the HR manager here and has been a good friend. We’re going to meet at Chili’s at 1, so I’ll need to wind this up pretty soon.

I mailed off some t-shirts to all the grandkids Saturday. They were all Las Vegas shirts that we picked up while on vacation. I also mailed a couple of dog outfits to the lady who got Bunny. She should like them as she likes to dress Bunny up. I SHOULD have mailed Mother some books, but wasn’t thinking when I loaded stuff into the car. I went to the Donalds post office to mail them, but they closed at 10:30 (and it was 11:00) – what post office closes at such an odd hour?? Well obviously ours does. Anyway, that meant I had to drive into Honea Path to the post office there.

Well, I think that makes you all caught up with us!

Love to all,

Margaret
