Monday Treasures.......

 Monday morning we drove over to Fort Worth to visit with Deanie and Charlie.... 

Lonnie was already over there!

Louis Dean waxed eloquent with his stories and talking.

He's been missing social life and talking to people since we have had so many quiet days at home lately with just me to talk to. 

We all sat together in their lovely den and talked and laughed and cried together.

Well, maybe I was the only one crying but they were so sweet about it. 

I love Deanie and Charlie's home!

There's something unique to see everywhere you look!

All four of us siblings loved the Three Stooges when we were kids.

This is a box that she cleverly framed.

The old fashioned telephone sat on a table in the hall and I picked it and put it to my ear.

I wouldn't have been surprised to have heard a dial tone.

I walked around the house admiring all her pretty things.

Deanie refinished this chest recently and it is beautiful!

She and Charlie are great at finding treasures!

This large oil painting was just $5!

What a magnificent wall of crosses!

This room used to be their office when Charlie and Deanie had Wilson Classic Plumbing Company.

I need a coffee cup like this one!

Deanie and Charlie filled this wall with Goodwill Treasures and it is beautiful!

They had a delicious lunch prepared for us!

Chicken salad and chips and dips and all sorts of fresh fruits and veggies.

And Charlie brought out my own personal box of salt!

There's three of us now.

Here's three handsome guys.

Lonnie was so sweet and spoke wise words of wisdom and comfort to me.

Deanie and Louis Dean are best buds! 

It was so good to be together.

We left around 2:30 and I decided to hit up the Goodwill in Benbrook.

Their prices are so much better than ours in Irving and they still give Senior discounts of 25% - 

except I was a day early!

No matter! The cheaper prices made it come out the same.

That soft gray dress is going to look great this fall with the right accessories. 

Perhaps the perfect scarf? Or the right jewelry....maybe a belt?

The heavy metal pumpkin was just $2.99 and is sitting near the trumpet vine arbor in the kitchen side yard. I'm in love with that pretty purse and I can't wait for a cold morning when I can slip into that warm comfy red robe. Yes, I'll have it all washed and clean and ready - but I know I'm going to have to wait a long time before I can wear it.

 

Four nice Christmas glasses......

I don't know what this is for but I like it!

Our next stop was Hobby Lobby!

All their fall things were out and on sale at 40% off......so I came home with these two pillow covers.

Plus the new sunflowers for the foyer vase.

Today has been a home day.

I slept late and it was already too hot to get out and do anything in the yard.

I brought in a few more tubs of fall debris.

It's like meeting old friends seeing all my pretty leaves and pumpkins and such.

I'm putting 'stuff'  in different places this year and changing things up a little.

Ilene - our sweet neighbor - stopped by tonight and we were so happy to get to sit and visit with her a bit. Inside the cool den and not out on the hot driveway - even though it was after the sun had gone down. Still too hot!

This came up in my Facebook Memories today - a dozen years ago.

I close tonight's journal entry with this special photo sent to me by our beloved Mad Snapper - Sandra.

Thank you!

Good night and God Bless you....
