I like hitting up the gas stations. I've noticed lately though since employees change like the wind, so many dont know how to get around either. gone are the life long gas station owners who know everything.Dawn Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11738975580656220888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-53411549972689701262011-02-06T07:05:29.325-06:002011-02-06T07:05:29.325-06:00Hey wait a minute!!!

Sooo...here I am now! Better late than never...so they say! Hehe! It has been a hectic last two days but it's all good! I hope that my note is finding you and your sweet family all doing well!<br /><br />Well Girlfriend, I think that Tom is quite the man to have around...sooo very useful! Wink! Sheeesh...I am so behind the times...I don't have a Tom! We did have a GPS while we were in Europe though...it saved us sooo many times and was so handy to have! I don't know what we would have done without it! So happy for you, dear friend...you are now a liberated woman! Hehe! It sounds like you and Susan had a wonderful time! I really enjoyed your photo of her...what a pretty lady she is! You sure found some pretty things! Ohh my goodness...can you just imagine the time that went into making the magazine/book page mirrors? Eeeks! I love the bottle lamps too! I'm so glad that you and Susan were able to meet for the day and have some fun! Thanks for sharing your time together with us! Also..thank you so much for hosting the Saturday Favorite Things party! I always enjoy when I get to participate! <br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend, dear friend!<br /><br />Love ya,<br />ChariChari at Happy To Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475994012652473793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-1227967249669558752011-02-05T22:14:10.020-06:002011-02-05T22:14:10.020-06:00Looks like you had lots of fun!

I have a GPS that sometimes thinks it's smarter than I am. I hate when it tells me over and over that it is recalculating. All the while, I should be going the opposite direction. I never know if it's messing with my mind or not.

I am so comforted by my Garmin (though Tom is a much cuter name!) especially when I want to venture deep into the city to an estate sale in an rough neighborhood. Wouldn't do it without a bit of directional help. Also want to say I LOVE that little stove!! OMG ... it is the cutest thing ever.
