Antiqueing

                                    HELLO NICE PEOPLE

          I went out today.  Yes even with gas at $3.55 a gallon, I WASTED some.  I have been staying really close to the house to avoid burning gas.  Just church and a little food shopping on Sundays.  AND THATS IT!!!!!!  But today Carole tempted me!  Carole is my BFF for about 40 years.  She has another friend, Barbara, who is selling her house, and Carole has been talking me into buying  her bedroom set.  I am tempted, but just don't know if its a good move.  My set is one of those old white French Provincial sets that is 40 years old.  12 years ago we painted it old rose.  Over the years, it has faded to  PINK.  So here we are two 60-year olds sleeping in a PINK bedroom set.  Barbaras set is 70 years old.  The kind with all of the intricate detail on the front and a kind of box on the top.  Really old fashioned.  I want THAT  and I want to paint it white.  But what am I gaining?  One painted set for one that we have to paint.  And we have to haul it home and get this one out of here.   And lifting and carrying is not as easy as it was a few years ago.  The ole backs don't want  to cooperate.  And then, I get attached to things.  It would break my heart to see this old set sitting out at the curb.  What to do?????

        That put us in the mood for Antiqueing.  So we took a ride down to Cape May.  We browsed some antique stores and stopped for lunch.  We stopped at a place called The Grilled Cheese and Crab Cake Company.  The food was really good.   We had Crab Soup.  That had tobe a gazillion calories.  And a crab cake sandwich.  I got home just in time to find Hubby cutting the grass and fertilizing and seeding.   Of  course, I missed all that good stuff.

                  I cannot figure out why my Journal is so wide.  I even took everything out of my side bar thinking that might fix it.  That didn't work.  I have that extra column about halfway down.  Whats up with that?
