I Bought A Purse - Holy Cow!

Last night one of the awesome families at church invited me to their home for dinner - homemade pizza!  It was a blast making my own personal pizza - I have never made a pizza from scratch before.  When Laura and I were talking about that I said how Mike and I did the delivery pizza all the time :)  The kids were a hoot - it was fun hearing so much noise.  When it's just me and an old dog the only one doing the talking is me and that gets boring after a while :)  And Butler did check me out when I got home since their dog, Rontu, laid all over me a few times - which I didn't mind at all.  As for the game Bananagrams all I have to say is "EE" is not a word Greg :)  Thanks for a fun night.

Today had a great church service.  Lynn was there along with Ken and Ashley - and her daughter Jennie (I hope I spelled that right) and grand baby Maddox that flew in as a surprise Friday night from Washington, D.C.

I went to a craft show at the Fairgrounds and bought a couple of things with one of them being a purse.  The earth WILL fall off its axis.  If you've known me any length of time you know I do NOT use a purse - the clutch thingie I've been using this past year is the closest I've come to a "purse" because of my Droid cell phone.  I saw the purse and liked it and thought, why not.

I also bought the painted bowl pictured below.  Mike and I have looked at this artist at prior craft shows and admired her work so again I thought why not.  And I thought the colored stones Mike and I bought on our last vacation in Branson would look perfect and beautiful in it.

The last thing I purchased (actually the first thing I purchased) was a little magnet that said, "When someone you love becomes a Memory...that Memory becomes a Treasure".  Considering what today is I thought this saying was appropriate for me.

There was also a "Green" event on the Fairground grounds that I went to and purchased a dusting glove that should replace all dusting cloths, dusting sprays, etc.  When I got it home Butler thought it was a new toy for him to play with and I had to chase him down to get it out of his mouth.

An animal rescue group was at the Green Event and had a deaf Heinz-57 (mutt) there named Eddie that was part German shepherd part Husky.  He was beautiful and I really wanted to take him home but I knew it would have broken Butler's heart to bring another dog into the house and Eddie is a special needs dog being deaf and needs an owner that would be able to work with him - but he was still beautiful.

I bought some chicken breasts at the grocery store Saturday so baked them today.  I had chicken tonight and will again Monday and Tuesday night.  Tonight's dessert.......mini M&M's.  Thanks Laura :)

Yes that's a greyhound painted light switch and greyhound framed saying in the background - what else would you expect in my kitchen right :)
