Nostalgic... Back to School bliss

The bells ring Monday
(do they still ring a bell?)
Scheduled families.

Purchased these 4 Sally Dick and Jane
school teacher posters for the shop
20.00 each
photos on each side

This is how I learned reading and arithmetic

Dick
Spot
Puff

Which one doesn't belong

Our children are so much more advanced

My grandchildren were learning Spanish at the same time
they learned English.

Small vintage oak desk
now on sale for 75.00
a cutie!

Noted this in the drive-up window in Farmington gas mart
I rarely go there.
Does this strike you odd
or is this the recession norm now days?

speaking of recession norm...have you seen the snickers candy bar
it's like 1/2 the size

At first I thought...that's bad for business
But then again if it forces you inside
chances are you buy more?

Before you start your" After the summer cleaning"  moms
take advantage of some quiet time
with Bliss Victoria
It won't let you down.
In fact Gina of Peacock Park is featured in an outdoor tent setting
charming

Big Bang of a week

Here is my oldest grandson Conner
He spent the week with us
now he's back home and we miss him.
We love his sense of humor
He's so handsome and very polite to us.
A good smart child
He started out with the flu
so he was pampered.
We hauled him off to yard sales... 2 times but not 3.
Just not his thing.
He went grasshopper hunting with grandpa
to feed them to the chickens next door.
hmmmmm.
yucky boy stuff.
HIS thing is the computer.
He loves games.
Missed HIS COMPUTER alot.
And his cats.
Plus his annoying sisters.
 missed his family.

17 Miracles
A Mormon Pioneer story of the Willie Handcart company was playing
in the movie theaters
Conner is a good partner for grandma and movie watching.
He said grandma I only counted 16 miracles.

The Big Bang Theory is a tv series
My sister, mother of 4 boys and knows what boys like, said we must watch.
Where have I  been?
We began with season 1  (75 episodes)
Had to watch season 2! (like 100 episodes)

Laughed our heads off with each episode.
Mr. Roses laughed out loud too!

Began season 3 last day
now addicted, love these guys
Leonard, Sheldon Penny etc.
Can't wait for season 4 on dvd which is due out Sept. 12

Big Bang Marathon for sure

These may help you get through the last weeks of summer.
Are you doing okay?

I am not one to sit.
Haven't sat this much since before opening the shop 5 years ago.
Kept hands busy bundling tons of wrinkly ribbon while viewing
it's in the shop now in many new colors.

Last Day we went to the new movie called "The help" rated pg 13
Didn't know what to expect, was told it was excellent.
One of my favorite movies.
Historical subject, entertaining and funny.
Set in the 1950's 1960's
You may love the decor...aqua cabinets, pinks, fancy mansions, properness, hairdo's
and women wearing lots and lots of dresses and pearls.
Conner being 13, I am sure he saw the movie in a different way than I.
And myself being raised in this era.
 Being a child...pretty sure I didn't know of these issues.
Learned some things.
Audience clapped at the end.
Conner struck up interesting conversation afterwards.
We've come a long ways
Thank goodness.

Let me know if you become a Big Bang watcher!
Can't believe school begins in a week?
