Who wouldn't want to join in the fun of this? Happy Bench Monday, to all. If you are on flickr, get over there and join the fun. It's a blast!!
I'm waiting to hear back on an offer. I put an offer on a home. I like it, so keep me in your thoughts today that it will be accepted! :)
Dad is on the mend. Mum and Dad are liking the time off together. Life is good.
I shopped at a new grocery store today. Bought a bag of potatoes. Opened them up to put in the potato bin when I returned home to find that half of them were green, or rotten. So tell me, if the point to buying an entire bag is to save money, then why do they ship off half rotten bags of taters? Tell me! Hmmm??? I guess life is like a bag of potatoes. Despite the choices we make in earnest, sometimes we are handed a rotten potato. How we handle said potato, speaks volumes about our character. LOL!~
Julian is not eagerly anticipating my trip to NYC. Oh don't get me wrong, he is very happy and supportive of me going. He is just so in love with me that once (after eighteen long, arduous years) he proposed to me last July, he can't stand it when I go away. He walks about the house, singing THIS. :) (What do you expect from a friend of the ROH? He's a music man. He's planning to run away with Garancha if anything happens between us! ;)
Okay. Gotta go. Meals to plan, agents to chat with, nails to bite. :)
Phone calls to friends to make.

Have a most LOVELY week, xo!!!
I am sure they will accept your offer! I know this isn't contributing much to the discussion, but I would really like those sandals! And, um, that skirt. So cute.

Fingers are crossed that your offer is accepted and you'll be on your way towards creating a new home for yourselves!
Is that you standing atop the bench? Loving the whole look!
Darling Gill, so lovely to speak with you and I look forward to an even longer convo!
Glad to know your Dad is on the mend and they are enjoying retirement together! Love to both!
XOXOXOXOXO

No nail-biting! Really putting out the positive energy for your offer to be accepted. But if for some ridiculous reason it isn't, then I expect you'll find another property to intrigue you. Fab photo! As for the potatoes, maybe the lesson is to buy them only in a see-through bag? :) xoxox

All positive thoughts and crossed fingers for your bid to be accepted. With the exception of the taters, everything is going right for you. A house sure to be found!

potatoes go green when they are left out in the sun or light in general. They do not go grteen if they are stored in a paper bag ( for example)
good luck on the house!

Good news Monday! Except for the potatoes. Life is like a bag of potatoes, you never know what you're going to get (Dan Quayle). I found that they keep better in a cool dark cupboard - not refrigerated.
I can't stand it when you go to New York either. When you could come here instead.
Hope your new house says 'Yes. They're the ones.'
xxoo

Best of luck on the house. Your house IS waiting for you, and if this is the one, woo hoo:)
"Life is like a bag of tatties", said with a Scottish twist:)

Oh I love the photo but what I love most is to hear that Dad is on the mend!!!

Thanks Jeaux! Our house did say that we were the ones!
But, now the bank $$$'s need to say, "Yes, we'll help you buy that house!!!"
Fingers crossed, financing goes in for approval today. Keep us in your good wishes and thoughts!!
Just last night, I mentioned you to J. He said, "I'd like to meet Joe!" and I said, "You will, rabbit, you will!!"
(We're Bugs Bunny fans!!)

Wow, I was needing a dose of Indigo positivity and this post gave it in droves! Have a fabulous trip, (I guess you're having it right now), and my fingers crossed on the house, or the banks, rather. Enjoy your adventures, all of them.
