Road trip!!!

NOT!!!

I found a site for free cycle from a nearby town. A lady was offering metal tv trays. I love these old things. I want to decoupage labels to them. I made arrangements to pick them up on a Sat.

DH & I take a trip to this town but could not find the street names from the directions. We stopped & asked people who did not recognize the names. By now, I've missed my appointment. Some people get really up set when you make a time to meet & you don't show up! But, what could I do? I tried.

Got back home, contacted the lady to apologize, & .......

that's when I noticed this site was from Canada!!! I live in Texas, USA! I've checked this site for a month & never saw the Candaian flag. Talk about The Old Woman messing around with ya brain or lack of one!

I tell ya'll this cause I was thinking I'd love to take a trip to see SusieRose's beautiful yard and her little houses. But, now I think I'm afraid of trips!!!

    Vickie, I've been accused of living in the suburbs of OK but I promise I'm closer than Canada!!!! LOLOLO Just email me and I'll tell you where I am located. Either up 75 North or up 35 North. Right now I'm sitting in my teddybear PJ's and my hair is swirled up in a tangled knot so I will need some advance notice to clear the cobwebs. LOLOLO obnoxiously again.

    P.S. Bring a paint brush!!!! Those little house's need some Rehab.

    P.S.S. I'm just waiting on some bailout money before the little houses get condemed. ha. Wonder if the Preservationist Historical Society of the Uppermost Texas Suburb of Southern OK has funds to throw around or at least some leftover house paint? (I better hush there may be such a place.) I could take my penny bowling ball and roll it up on the counter at Sherwinn Williams and say "Count Em"!!! Maybe an archetectural (sp?) study grant on miniature yard phenomina. Sounds like PORK spending but if I put the word educational or CEO Bonus in there it might pass. huh? Where's the flippin' Folgers I'm running out of ideas????

    Sorry about the aborted road trip! I would have been so SAD!
    And thanks Susie for putting my name on your list. How close are you to Parke County Indiana where my cabin is?

    Well heck!!! What a disappointment! Oh, but it does make me feel better when you guys do that sort of thing! The old woman has been messing with me so badly for the last few weeks!! Or maybe it's just old man winter! Sorry that you didn't get your trays...maybe you can find some in the good old USA!

    Vickie, OOps paint would be too much like 'common sense' spending!!!!! I would have to get off of my custom jet and go back to the 4th grade to see if I could understand such a concept.

    (disclaimer- if anyone reading this is a Corp. CEO I'm just playin'. However, a few laps around the real world and you might just get a 'clue'. And shame on you!!!)

    Hah, Vickie, that's a funny story (maybe not to you though lol). Sounds like something I'd do also. The old woman, that mysterious hussy, messin' things up like that LOL.

    About the shindig ... I'm in!!! Who's doing the tater salad and fried chicken? How many bedrooms ya got Susierose & Hubs? hehe .... Did I hear "Y'all come" LOL Don't panic just kiddin' ~tenderlee

    tenderlee, We've got one bedroom that four of us sleep in-Hubs, me, Bailey Joe and Trevor. I have a three dog night everynight, I'm including Hubs in the dog pack. They all snore!!!

    I have another bedroom that is full to the brim with sewing, crafts, and office stuff.
    {{gwi:77571}}
    The third bedroom is a Pink Victorian/Ballet dream room that my grandbabydaughterlove had when she lived with us. I cant even go in there because it makes me miss her too much. I keep the door shut but need to reopen it for guests.

    I have that swinging bed on the front porch though!!!! It sleeps two weary adults after yard work!!!! And mosquito repellant is a must during the summer.

    I could bake ya'll some cat head biscuits in the mornings! (my Grandmother's biscuits as big as a cat's head) They would go great with tator salad and fried chicken! Hubs swears that business will be picking up and we can entertain again soon. Susie

    I'd love to come! I am always road tripping with online friends. One friend and I are going to a gourd crafting workshop in April in Madison, WI. It will be a mini-vacation.

    Hey, that old bat was here last Friday. We went to a frozen custard place near work (frozen custard is a specialty here in Wisconsin ... it's like thick, creamy soft serve made with eggs) for lunch. On the way out, I told them I was stopping at the bathroom. I walked through the bathroom door on my right. I was thinking how nice it smelled in there when I turned to my left and saw the urinal! Oops! Thank goodness no men were in there! I slid out as smooth as could be and slipped into the ladies room across the hall. My co-workers laughed their butts off when I told them what the crazy old lady did!

    Boy I needed a laugh this morning! You guys are a riot!
    Old woman was here yesterday. She messed up my appointment book so I went to the Post office and was waiting in line when my appointment to show the last available space at the building I manage was waiting for me to get there! Luckily our cleaning person called me on my cell and I rushed back. As I ran into the building - NO KEY! Old woman had apparently cut a hole in my key pocket and the keys had fallen under the lining of my purse. I couldn't find the damn thing. No problem I said to the waiting ladies and left them in the lobby to get my spare office key from the tenant who holds one for me. He wasn't there. Dragged an office chair (on wheels) down the hall to the fire emergency light near my door and stood on it to get hidden key to my office stuck on top. Just then old woman thought it would be funny to twirl the chair! I'm standing there twirling (a Lucille Ball moment of which I've had many) and wondering if I'm going to fall off. Finally get the key and get into my office and go to spot where secret master key is hidden. Can't find it. Dump everything out of two drawers and finally dump my purse and cut open the lining to get key. Found out in the evening that "old man" aka dh had the secret spare hidden key in his pocket! Of course this was the day dh's partner from NYC (the one who owns most of the building) was coming to look at the work on the lobby. What a mess I had to clean up and old woman didn't lift a finger to help. The good news is the women really liked the space and when I rent it I'm going to ask for a raise! (Don't tell old woman)
    Hey Susie I'm a great painter! (house, not artistic)
