It rained on and off all day today – no storms, no downpours. But we really needed the ran. So now I have to wait for the drying period to cut the grass. That’s ok – worth the wait!
Also got word that Mom’s estate is finally settled. It’s a relief for everyone (especially, I’m sure, for Jim Graves who was the executor!) to have that behind us. A big thanks to Steadman Law Offices in Girard for their assistance and expertise.
Worked both stores this morning, but Greensburg was busier. Left there and came straight home, completely by-passing several things I had planned on doing. I had a quick lunch, cleaned up the kitchen, and then talked to my friend Diane on the phone for over an hour! We absolutely NEVER talk on the phone so we had a lot to chat about. While we were talking, I sat and watched the neighbor’s horses prancing back and forth across the pasture on the hill across the street.
In the meantime I did laundry, and I have quite a pile of ironing to do.
I also framed my new print of Harrold School.
Since I totally blew off my chores after work, I went back out and did them all this afternoon. I stopped at the bank to cash a small check – I owe two people money! On the way back out of the parking lot I noticed that Shop and Save was having a mural painted on the side of their building. That’s something Erin from HOME TOWN (HGTV) would do (and has done) in the towns they renovate!
Notice Snoopy on my dash!
Then I dropped off a bag of items at Goodwill before stopping at Craftique for candle bulbs. I thought I would wait for flicker bulbs but I had one burn out over the weekend so I replaced it and bought an extra. Last of all I stopped at Hanna’s Town and dropped off a few thick catalogs for tin-punch and picked up two signs for court days this weekend. Last year they generated interest so I thought it was a good idea.
While I was driving through town I noticed that Pershing’s antiques was open. I haven’t been in that little store front since Dad was alive! So I pulled over and popped in and talked to Dave Pershing – explaining I just needed to walk through as a remembrance to my dad. I remembered the name Frank Pershing, who Dave explained could have been his uncle or his grandfather. The place was never organized but they DO have lots of old stuff — and lots of wooden furniture and bicycles. I was happy to have stopped.

Quote:
TOMORROW June 13th is:
National Sewing Machine Day; National Weed Your Garden Day; World Pet Memorial Day; National Random Acts of Light Day; National Call your Doctor Day; International Axe Throwing day; National Kitchen Klutzes of American Day; World Softball Day; National Forklift Safety Day.
I use my sewing machine pretty regularly – for random projects and for mending. I am ALWAYS weeding my garden so that won’t be a hard one. I just posted a photo of my tribute to honor Tazz last week. No axe-throwing for me, and although I don’t do kitchens very much I am not a klutz. NO softball for me, or forklifts. Let’s go with the garden! God bless….
