THRIFTY FALL CENTERPIECE

Hey, I'm coming back with this freebie to join

Free Centerpiece!!

"YOU CAN DO A LOT OF DECORATING WITH VERY LITTLE"

My Sweetie Brings me flowers every Wednesday!!

My Sweet Old Bob has been doing the grocery shopping 

for many years. He took on the chore after I had back surgery.

He thought he did a better job than I and I never told him any different.

For a year or so I thought he was such a sweetie

and still romantic after 50 plus years (he truly is a sweetie). 

One day I accompanied him on his Wednesday shopping trip.

The produce manager comes up to "Mr. Romantic" and says

"Mr. Bob don't forget to pick up "the little lady's" flowers today".

It seems the produce manager actually

GIVES him a bouquet of his choice each week.

My sweetie is a retired food broker and really chews the "fat"

with everyone each week. They apparently love his visits.

That particular week, the produce manager got the kiss, on the cheek, instead of
"Mr. Romantic".

So you see, I get flowers, sweet old Bob gets a bargain (and a kiss) 

and the staff at the market enjoys hearing about the "golden olden days".

Everyone Wins!

I hope you enjoy the beautiful arrangement that results.

SAVANNAH THANKSGIVING

Well, I have certainly enjoyed my first two weeks in your world.

Thanksgiving is a special time of the year

Of course we all know that.

It is special this year because I have made so many new friends. I wish each of you a blessed Thanksgiving

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

 Thank you so much

to all who have visited me this past two weeks!

This blogging thing has been a ball for me.

I have read and enjoyed each comment left.

Your comments have been so kind and encouraging

I only hope I have properly responded to each of you.  If I did not it was because of a big case of "Blog Freeze"

To some of you, I may have responded twice, maybe, but hopefully not thrice.

Please accept this bouquet of flowers 

as a token of my appreciation

for your generous acceptance.

I hope I have brought a smile to your face

or made you chuckle a time or two

 For all of you who have "chosen" 

to follow a newbie Thank you!

This has been sooooo much fun.

I am joyous that I can visit a homemaker
 in Pakistan, a crafter in the northwest, a collector in the heartland, a young wife in Canada, a sweet soul in UK, "Wonderful" people world over and  fantastic cooks everywhere!

Did you know about the new species?

"TABLESCAPERS"

So new that spellcheck doesn't know about them yet.

I hope that we can continue
 meeting like this

for a very long time

THANK YOU!!!

Next week I will leaving for three weeks

in the land of strikes and chaos in the streets.

Don't worry 'bout me, Bonjour 
 and an offer of sweet iced tea
will win them over.
A slice of Martha's apple pecan cake
and they will hoist me to their shoulders
shouting "Viva la Ginger"
I don't know a translation for Ginger.
You have seen all I know.

I hope to have a few posts in the can before I leave. I don't want you to get fickle  

 while I am gone.

Please leave a comment. You know I looooooove to read them.

Ginger
