A great day-trip

My sisters, Jean & Judy, & myself took a little day trip to Kansas City on Friday in the hopes that we'd find a treasure or two at the big Curious Sofa estate sale. Well, Judy found a couple of "deals" but unfortunately, my treasures were found in the regular priced merchandise. I love that store! She has the greatest things & most things you never see anywhere else. The neighborhood she's in is also great. The Walmart's of the world have driven most neighborhood stores out of business but I think now with higher gas prices people are going to start shopping in their neighborhood stores again. Personally, I love my little True Value Hardware. They actually help me out when I'm trying to fix something.



Here are Judy & Jean in Mission Road Antiques -- another favorite place. We found some treasures here too. One of the treasures was lunch. We had a corn casserole that was unbelievable -- no fat grams there!!! Anyway, we had a great day & didn't have to think about the price of gas (split 3 ways isn't so bad), the stock market taking a tumble, global warming or water in the basement. We just played "Scarlet" all day & played like we had nary a care. We should do that more often. Anyway, we came back ready to make changes at Leola's & perk things up for summer.

Waoh ! Je raffole de ces sacs à farine, très utiles pour recouvrir les fauteuils !
