Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2009! I hope y'all all had a good and safe celebration. Soon, I hope to be caught up on your blogs again. I miss y'all and can't recall what I did without you in my life.

New Year's Eve I got to surprise David with one more Christmas gift. We had seen a stand up John Wayne like this back in October, and David had expressed an interest in it. So, after watching ebay for months, one came up for auction. I won and it arrived in time for a New Year's surprise. He was speechless!

Do you remember the glass eyes I have?

See how silly we look? Funny!

In the near future, we have some fun and chores planned.

One chore is laying some wood flooring that I got for Christmas. Pray for us. Give us any tips you can share. It's wood planking, old tongue in groove. 7" wide. We'll be laying it in my bedroom entry and dressing area. Tips? Guidance? Floor layer referrals?

Additionally, David and I enjoy geocaching. We haven't gotten to play in a while, so we hope to do so in the near future.

OH! And the store! Of course, the store! Kathie and I will be doing a reset next Saturday. Look for photos and fun after that. I always like to show off what we get accomplished. We'll be putting out new merchandise and moving out or marking down stuff we are sick of, but you might love!

This appears to be post 97 for me. I have noticed that it is traditional to have a giveaway for such monumental occasions as the 100th post. As my friend Debbie (aka Talking Trash) says, "pull up your bra straps" and get ready. At this very moment, I'm not sure what you are getting ready for, but watch and wait and we'll figure it out together.

Happy Friday!
