We survived the snow -- got around 2 feet in our part of NJ. DS did most of the shoveling, DH did some. DS was very nice and completely cleared my car off. As his car normally lives on the street in front of our house, he eventually went out yesterday afternoon and cleared a space for his car. Driving into town this morning was a mess. They were clearing the parking spaces along the sides of one of the main streets, which slowed traffic. The municipal lot where I usually park was closed off while they cleared it. I wound up parking several blocks from my destination (and couldn't get close enough to the parking meter to feed it) and walked. Not all of the stores had shoveled their parts of the sidewalks yet so I had to make it through 2 to 3 foot drifts in several places. By the time I got to my yoga class, I was more than warmed up.

Carl @carma You'd think with that kind of money and value,they could have flown over here and pick it up 🙂
Don @donscns it could be the same dish, The one I showed was located in Australia this one is located in USA
Wendy @wjweese Yes I thought they could have done a better job with the description LOL

Reen @reen Wendy @wjweese may be right, time for a new Estate Agent. My cousin had their porperty on the market forever. They discovered the Agent wasn't doing anything to promote it so they switched and not long after that they had a sale.

Shelly @shellyrae37 I am still waiting confirmation from everyone to see if the reunion will go ahead today. We have tiny little new borns and elderly (89 is the eldest) The cold and damp under foot just may not be ideal for them. If this is the case then we will reschedule for a few weeks time. No one really want to be indoors at a club we like to be outdoors in the lovely park where there is play equipment and the little ones can run around as much as they want, making as much noise as they want, screaming and laugh with out a care in the world. Our family does NOISE really well LOL

@wjweese Wendy, that afghan is beautiful!! I can see why it took a lot of planning and working. Lucky recipients!!

Irene and Katie I hope all goes well for your Dh's

Alicia @4931nextdoor All painting leads me into, is a big mess. I am the worlds worst with paint. I seem to get it everywhere except where it is to go LOL If I attempted to paint the front door, I would have paint all over the verandah, I'd have it walked down the hallway, I'd have it all over me and God knows where else through out the house. There'd be paint handprints everywhere LOL. Gordon banned me from painting many many years ago LOL

Wendy @wjweese I hope you are feeling better after your surgery.

Gail @songbreeze I hope everything is going as well as they can be for you. (((((hugs)))))
Julie

Julie..going for morning tea with my gorgeous DD and granbkids 😀

@baabaamason Bob, so good to see you and so glad you're healing. Glad you'll be getting to see your furkids -- I'm sure they miss you too.

Wishing everyone else with health issues wishes for speedy and complete healing.

We're in the United Club lounge waiting for our flight to San Francisco. DH has a conference so we'll be there until Friday night (taking the red-eye home).

Take care everyone
Julie

@wjweese WENDY .... I've had a lot of fun trying out these different little projects. If they sell at the Oktoberfest that will be great. If they don't, then I can just pass them on to where they might be needed.

@jerseystar27 Very nice booth. I hope your not too sore. I hate to ask...but have to know. Was any glass hurt? LOL

@JimD, I'm clueless. What is a thunder shirt?

@wattleihavenext , and @jmart8248 Yep blond moments..we all have them. LMBO at Julie's story about the ATM because that happened to Jerry and I just the other Day. My youngest totaled her car so she asked us to go to the bank for her. The branch Jerry and I use has only been open about a year so everything is newer (all touchscreen). We pull up in the drive through and around about the third step, it says enter pin number. Jerry says "Where the heck is the touch pad" Well I don't see it either so we figure he did something wrong, so we start over. Same thing again. "Well maybe it is on the next page. Hit next." Nope. Start over again.Then start over again. About that time, I told him "I feel like we are on one of those hidden camera shows." By this time I was only half joking. I look around and I see it! A manual keypad to the right of the touchscreen, but it has a tinted plexiglass hood on it that obscures the numbers from anyone lurking nearby. Oh my goodness. We laughed so hard!

@wjweese Wow, great job on the tree skirts! They a amazing. Especially Big Momma!

@george I thought of you the other day. I was at the thrift store and someone had donated a collection of different colored Geogian tumblers. I almost picked up the 3 best ones(they were only .95 each) but put them back.They were apple green, ruby, and a light blue with the seam going around the hexagon.

@fyrqueen, You are a gutsy lady! There is no way I am getting out of my bed in the middle of the night, to see what that sound is! I can handle a little mouse but... until you open the door, you don't know what it is. If it was anything bigger I would have had to change my jammies! lol

I haven't really gotten lost either. For the first time in many years, I'm doing an antique show on Sunday. It's an outdoor show that used to be only antiques. Apparently there are fewer and fewer dealers so the people who manage the show have combined it with a craft show. They used to do an equal number of craft shows and antique shows every year -- now it's almost all craft shows. My sister and her friend sell at many of the craft shows. So, we're sharing a booth on Sunday. I've been washing and tagging and researching and now have 3 tubs (plus a few extra things) ready to go. It's been so long that I've lost touch with selling prices, not to mention forgotten makers and patterns. Looked at lots of sold auctions on eBay to get an idea of going prices (but figure I can go a little higher as there's no shipping). Very proud of myself that I id'd my unknowns. Will take photos of my tables to share.

@booklady LYNN ... Welcome to the Glass Chat. So glad you decided to join in. Precious grandbaby! EAPG stands for Early American Pattern Glass . This website explains all about it, what it is, when it was made, and shows you all different patterns. http://www.patternglass.com/eapgHome.htm

Got my eyes checked today and will get new glass by end of next week. My sister is sick with laryngitis and sinuses. Got her medicine and soothing things to eat or drink. I'm still in sun glasses from having my eyes dialated. Looked like one cool granny shopping in WalMart. 🙂

@donscns DON ... ok, Don, I won't besmirch your Post Office any more. So glad your items all arrived in one piece for a change!

@wjweese WENDY ... I bought several little patterns for crochet yesterday on-line. Love when I can just print them out immediately. Now all I have to do if find time to sit down and actually crochet.

HI to CARL, BOB in KY, GEORGE, and IRENE M.

Now I need to get back to cleaning my van. Travelling out in the country you pick up a heck of a lot of bugs that splatter all over the van and truck. Takes a lot of cleaning, especially on the very top sections of my camper where I need to use an extended handle to be able to reach.LOL
