Really fun finds!!!!

Last Wednesday Little Companion and I went to the library as we are oft wont to do of a Wednesday afternoon to return her 5 books and check out 5 more. Well, we stopped in the area where they have used books to buy, actually looking for tea books, etc., and we ran across these.

Which I thought looked really interesting for the maps, background and... really pretty pictures.

Thought they might be good resource books.

So we bought them and toted them back to our abode.

They make great coffee/tea table books. Little Companion loves looking through them. She showed me the old money and what was really fun was when she came upon picture of the Red Sea she told me Moses, and here she held her hands up and parted them like she was parting the sea. I was very impressed.

Next, I found this cool purple chair and ottoman. They are very comfortable and go so well under this Monet, it has purple in it too.

I like the look.

Lastly, this one is for Steve. (Told him I was gonna do this.) I used the aromatherapy lab (i.e. kitchen) to chef up a pizza casserole that Theresa at http://theresa-sentimentaljourney.blogspot shared on her Oct. 6 post. It turned out sooooo good. We had plenty of left overs.



I know that Steve and the Big Kahuna are eating healthy, well balanced, appetizing dinners over there in Oklahoma, just thought he might like the picture.

Ha! Miss you Steve, wish you were here!

Out and about and what we brought home...

Today we went to the library and got my little companion a library card OF HER VERY OWN!!! It was a successful operation and she was very pleased, proud, and excited. She is in a brand new school this year and so far they have no books in the library, so this was extremely fun.


This facility is set up very well in that the children's section is secluded behind glass with one door in and out. Thus, if a very protective grandma were to take her 6-year-old granddaughter to the library she could, in theory, sit in a chair between book racks and said door and make sure little companion did not wander out or get nabbed while choosing her books. She is quite a proficient little reader at 6.

Now, I don't want you folks to be jealous, but I must say in the 92 degree heat today I got a primo parking space under this here shade tree.

Ha, okay just kidding about the shade.

Remember those chairs I spotted yesterday? Well took my sweety pie daughter over to peruse them today, we both agreed they would be just perfect.

Now here's where I spin you my tale.

There were two other lovely women really looking them over, a-poking and a-prodding, they would sit, they would stand, they would look. At one point I believe they even took pictures. Then they briefly stepped away.

Um hum...

It was at this point we made our move and headed directly to the cash register, paid for said chairs, and even had the audacity to ask for help loading them. Bought them right out from under those lovely unsuspecting ladies.

Now let me show you why,

Are they not just perfect for this spot? That's the little table I got a couple of weeks ago. They are so comfortable. We're planning on some little plants for the shelves on either side of the picture.

Now that's my story and I sincerely hope those lovely ladies found some equally lovely chairs to enjoy!
