In my last post you see I was on my way to meet some new blog friends and shop at the wonderful Barn Sale I have heard so much about at La Maison Rustique. On my way there Friday my beloved 98 Thunderbird gave out, she only has 198,000 miles on her, I can't imagine why she is so tired. Thank goodness for AAA. While we are trying to figure out what to do for her, my hubby offered to chauffeur me on Saturday, but on the way there he received an emergency call from one of his hotel accounts, so back home I go and can only assume that I was not meant to be there for this particular weekend, but will definitely try again next month.

I have a few things to cover today before I forget so here goes.
