We Have Guests This Week

Since it's so very cool and breezy here today, and since Mr. Glen Oaks will be here from
Logan Airport any minute with his mom and son, I thought I'd just quickly post some of my favorite Fall Prim items from my Etsy Treasury List. Enjoy!

Giveaway Mania

Wow! It seems too good to be true, but there is ANOTHER Giveaway and this is a LuLu. There are 5 prizes for 5 winners and they are all terrific. It's The Rusty Thimble Harvest Blessing Giveaway. The month of August for Brenda represents some milestones for her. It's her Blog Anniversary, her Etsy Shop Anniversary, and she has reached 800 followers on her Blog. The Giveaway runs until August 31, 2011 after which she will announce the winners September 1st. There are 5 prizes that go to 5 winners but because of the random generator used to pick numbers, you may win more than 1 prize!

It's so hot here like so many places are right now. Mr. Glen Oaks got heat stroke today doing a countertop job.
He was cutting these long sheets to custom lengths and it had to be done outside. He got in around 6:30 p.m. last night and was beat. The day before he was doing some work at my daughter's house and he and my son-in-law were changing out the kitchen sink and SIL let go
and hubby thought it was going to land on the new counter, so he lunged for it and SIL try to grab it and the corner cut hubby's right cheek. So trooper that he is, he cut some electrical tape and made a butterfly bandage and put his cheek back together. Ashley was at work and Tim couldn't find anything for the cut, plus he was freaking out a little bit.
When we went to the E.R. later on, the nurses couldn't get over the makeshift bandaid and
people kept coming into the room to look at it. Because it was a facial cut they didn't stitch it so that there would be very slight scarring, they used DermaBond. It's sort of a
crazy glue for skin. Cleaned it, glued it, and we were out of there in less than 1 hour.
When we arrived home, sister and B.I.L. were already here from Indiana. We hugged, talked and talked, and had dinner at 9 p.m. They stayed until after midnight. We opened gifts that sister brought with them and looked at pictures. It was great.
Tomorrow is Christmas here (well, sort of) when we open our decorations she bought us.
Stay cool, Primmies
