When you are as old as I am you can do whatever you want.

                 (Random thoughts)

My very favorite gift ever.  Stan gave me this little fan.  I use it every day.  It sits on the table beside my chair.
 
Yep, that's right.  When you are as old as I am, you can do anything you want.
Example:  Don't like the sizes of your clothes?  CUT the size tag out!  See how easy that was!
As many of you know, I rarely have a comfortable body temperature.  This situation is helped many times with a visit to the restroom.  I always have a pair of scissors in my purse.  Yesiree, CUT those sleeves off!
Do you fold your towels where the tags don't show?  I did too until I got smart and cut all those tags off!
Hello!!!!
Good service?  Ask to speak with the manager.
Bad service?  Ask to speak with the manager.  It is amazing how this lowers your stress level.
Always be nice.

I thought you were mad at me…

My dear blogging friends,

I have discovered that there are problems with WINDOWS LIVE WRITER(blog publishing application) making it very difficult to leave “comments.”  When I talked with them they said the problem  had been addressed(whatever that means) and they hoped to have it fixed in the near future. Hmmmmm 

In the next few weeks I will be shopping for new ways to communicate.  I also will be praying that I don’t lose all “my stuff” in the process.  Please keep reading my blog.  Feel free to use my e-mail address:  msgfrmimi@charter.net

Let the good times roll!!!

It was one of those “only in New Orleans” moments as we celebrated Mardi Gras and The Saints Super Bowl victory.

Orpheus Parade…It was cold!

It was crazy!

  It was so much fun!

    I really had only one glass of wine!

       

Saints celebrate!!!

Our son Rob, enjoyed being up close and personal Tuesday night at the New Orleans Saints parade.  “With a sea of people on every street, It was really something to behold.”

This was just too good….

Do you do FB chat?  I am very, very selective about who I “chat” with….my children don’t want to be bothered. (that is my interpretation, not theirs)Grandchildren…maybe…just depends…that’s ok …because they are perfect anyway.

This is a Face Book Chat I had tonight with Hanna(age 10) my great-niece.  She is absolutely my best FB friend!!  you’ll see why...

Longing for Spring….

This was yesterday…

Thank goodness for Lenten Roses. They start blooming at the beginning of Lent and even before, their lush foliage is so welcome.
 
Saint Francis is longing for Spring too.
It’s warmer today…and raining again.


That’s right, we are longing(and praying) for Spring.

Cheap Entertainment!

Just a quick stop by my favorite thrift store today.  Like the rest of the whole world, I’m really liking white/cream ware.  I also found  a beautiful piece of vintage linen, an old piece of blue wicker (pedestal) that I will spray paint.  One of my favorite finds is that sick bunny rabbit with only one ear. 

I love, love, this lidded box.
 

The best part of all these white dishes, I can mix them will all my other patterns. I really need to have a party.




 

I already had most of this but I did have a good day as you can see from my shopping cart.  I spent about $20 and had so much fun!

 Cheap Fun!
