- I've always liked pink roses better than red. Throw a few lavender ones in there, and it's even better!
- It feels like September outside. Cool mornings, no humidity, blue skies. Such a tease! I bet we swelter again very soon. ha.
- There are fair weather friends and then there are the ones that really care.
- My little etsy store is celebrating it's 1000th sale! And in a quirky, fun kind of coincidence, it's facebook page just got 1000 'likes'! Isn't that fun? We're celebrating with a sale, too, if you are interested. Either site will give you a coupon code.
- I'm craving peach pie. Might have to do something about that soon!
- We've taken everything out of our living room. Sold some things, gave some away...shopped on overstock.com in the clearance section and found some very lovely new things. I'm getting very acquainted with the UPS man this week..haha Seems like one thing comes every day. If you haven't shopped that clearance tab, I highly recommend it. Free shipping, too!
- Thanks for all of your sweet messages about Nugget. It really meant a lot! It was a little sad yesterday to go to the grocery and not by two bunches of kale, like I've done every week for 8 years! Aw.
- Giving myself a pedicure this evening. I'm thinking red will be a nice change from the ocean blue glitter that is on there now. :)

A rose in any color would smell as sweet.
ReplyDeleteBut I prefer lilacs.
:0)
Yes, red ones smell nice, too. I was going more on the look.
DeleteI like the look of varied colors too.
DeleteWell, lilacs do come in a few pretty shades!
DeleteI seem to pop in as the saddest times. I'm so sorry about Nugget Rabbit. He was a gorgeous rabbit.
ReplyDeleteHope you all are well and I can't wait to see the new LR. It may need another re-do by the time I make it back but.....
My cousin who does stop by on occasion but doesn't chat wants me to tell you she LOVES your cat collection. :)
Her last rescue passed just weeks ago with kidney cancer. Her heart is broken but she will eventually take in another one/two/three to love.
aw...poor kitty. Glad she stops by...tell her to say hello!
DeleteI know what you mean by No.3. I feel like going out into the street and shouting "Helloooooo? Are there any of my 'friends' out there?" The silence would be deafening. Ha!
ReplyDeleteAs to No. 2, it feels like November here. As I type this I can hear the rain 'hammering against the window pane'. I sure there is a poem about that somewhere, but I can't remember it.
Ahh, just remembered, I think it is called 'A Summer Song', ironically!
haha...well, I didn't have to going out into the street...but sometimes the closest people to you go MIA when you need them.
DeleteIt says a lot, actually, especially the repeat offenders.
Why am I not surprised it's raining there?
MIA ?
Deletemissing in action :)
DeleteCan't wait to hear about your new LR. I may be pairing down soon. Congrats on your Etsy shop! If it doesn't cool off here soon, I'm moving in with you. Unless y'all start sweltering again....and then I'll just stay at home. I mean what would be the point. Lol!!
ReplyDeleteYou could come for a vaca....and run back home if it gets hot. haha...or bike back home sounds more like you. lol...
DeleteWell heck yeah...why didn't I think of that!
DeleteThe thing is, you could really do it!
DeleteHaha! I looked it up...it would take 2 days of constant pedaling. I'm going to be much closer in October. Going to Louisville, KY. Now that's probably doable.
DeleteYes, Louisville is much more realistic!
DeleteCongrats on the Etsy shop - one of my favourite places as you know!
ReplyDeletePretty roses - pink and lavender is such a pretty combination.
Thinking of you and Nugget...
I know what you mean about fairweather friends. Sigh. I guess it makes us appreciate the true ones even more.
xox
Yes, that is true....but still! Geesh! lol....
DeleteYup... And a few stronger expressions too! :-)
DeleteExactly!
DeleteGreat news about etsy, Betsy. That is some achievement . . .
ReplyDeleteSo the way into your heart is with oink and lavender roses . . lol . . :)
. . . rofl . . . me and my typos . . . pink not oink !!
Deleteoh dear...
DeleteHmmmmm... oink roses - pink as a piggy's nose!
Deletelol...
DeleteKing of the typo!
DeleteThat rather spoiled the sweet message I was intending to convey, didn't it? . . . lol
DeleteIt sure did, mate!
DeletePersonally I like bellow roses; sorry, yellow roses, especially the "Mellow Rose of Texas".
DeleteI think I'll send you both a Venus Fly Trap! Then you can oink and bellow all you want! lol....
DeleteI am the same....Red is not a colour that I fancy....oh, except for my a Dragon Wing Begonias♥️...and my hearts! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI hope you think of me as a friend....that would please me...
Love your random thoughts....kudos on your Etsy shop! I liked it!
Very humid tonight....may have to put the air back on!
Enjoy your weekend Betsy....
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Of course, I do...and not a fair weather friend, either! :)
DeleteWish it would feel like that here for a day or two
ReplyDeleteCould use a break at our zoo
Congrats on 1000 as well
That is sure quite the sell
Hopefully more 0's pile up
And you'll be so rich you'll get yourself a golden coffee cup lol
You know if I get to be rich
DeleteI'll share with you and your luck will switch!
A promise is a promise no matter how old
so I hope we both run into lots of gold! ha.
If I every get rich too
DeleteWill sure share at your zoo
But hahaha to that
Says the perpetually broke Pat and cat
Congratulations on your "likes" in the store and on FB. Great that they happened at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThink I will have to check out Overstock for a chest I am looking for my entryway.
Love, love, love those gorgeous roses. I really like just about any color of roses more than I do red.
I hope you find a chest for your entryway....and it's always fun just to look!
DeleteIt's been cool in the morning, but warms up fast here.
ReplyDeleteHope you share photos of your living room!
I saw the post about your shop on FB today but haven't had time to shop. I'll stop over soon!
We're still into the 80's in the afternoon.....and I'm sure it will get hot again...I mean, it IS
Deletejust mid August! haha...But the last few days have been wonderful!
I just found some great stuff in the shop!
DeleteI see that! How very fun!
DeleteI like reading these posts. I hope we are sweltering again...I'm like a reptile, I need to soak up as much heat as I can...winter is way too long! I hope you share before and after photos of your latest renovations!
ReplyDeleteI didn't take any before pics! So unlike me! haha....I just started ripping it apart one day. lol....
DeleteWe are so opposite....I never tired of winter last year...and it was a long one! haha...
Beautiful roses, I tend to like the yellow and white and soft lavender .....but wouldn't be refusing any color ...lol
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see the new remodel, it saves me doing mine when I can just look at your pictures :)
In England they have a saying "A change is as good a rest ".....you deserve a rest !
~Jo
A change is as good as a rest...I love that!
DeleteHi Betsy, I have a very bad connection here at my Mom's place that is why I do not comment. However when I saw your post about Nugget ... so sorry again that he is gone. It is hard to stop the things we were used to do for our pets ... There is always the first time without ... sigh ...
ReplyDeleteYour roses are beautiful, just my colours, the lavender one in is perfect. Anyways will be back soon more regurarly hopefuly as we will return soon back home. Holidays were long but they felt really short ...
Isn't that lavender one so pretty?
DeleteGlad you're having a nice holiday, even if it felt short! Thanks for checking in, even while at your moms!
