All the fireworks are over, and it's on to a new year. Couldn't help but notice what a lonely place the fireworks stand is this week. Prior to New Year's Eve, these portable stands seem to pop up everywhere. Now they will be hauled away and not appear until the 4th of July is upon us.Setting off fireworks is against the law with the Houston City limits, so out where I live out in the county (and that's county, not to be confused with country) they pop up everywhere. I haven't bought any in years, but I figure with such a short season they surely must be expensive? Can you shoot fireworks where you live?

The Lonelist Spot in Town

It's That Time of Year
Unlike other countries, France for example who has a once a year big sale, sales go on here all of the time.
The biggest sales are at the end of a season, and especially the end of the year. I feel sure that the retailers are wanting to move stuff (sell) and increase their profit line for the year. I went out to the sales yesterday. But, for some reasons I always find myself looking at the new Spring things (not on sale) .
Have you found any great bargains out there?

It's 2013!
It's 2013! Gosh it's hard to believe?! Every year, I figure we all search for our new calendar? I was wondering what kind you prefer.? Are you one of these people that carry around a "planner". Or do you have a calendar on your I- phone, Blackberry or I-pad? I feel sure the next generation will laugh at the thought of a paper calendar! Sorry you could be" old school" and have one with a pretty picture at the top....hanging on the wall?
I guess I am taking for granted that you even operate from a calendar? I have to have one. I actually get up every Monday morning, and review my calendar with my first cup of coffee. It's not that it is so full, its simply that I have missed occasions because I didn't open it! Notice the squares, large enough to list things!
I like this size. It's nice a flat and fits under my phone, so I can slip it out and say. So, sorry I have an event on that day! :). Things are changing so fast! When my youngest graduated from High School. I was so proud of myself. I found the perfect party favor for her graduation party. Travel alarm clocks!She laughed at me and said "Mom" kids don't use those. Well, how do they wake up? Guess they all have alarms on their phones...I was happy that I am one to save receipts. But, I guess they have their receipts, boarding passes, etc also on their phones?.....Ever feel like a dinosaur?....Janey
I have obviously been housebound (except for a trip to see family for Christmas) with this awful cold that has lasted two weeks. I hope to get out and about in this new year ..and take a photograph....I am coming down with cabin fever!

A Painted cabinet
At our friends the other night, I noticed a large painted chest in her kitchen. It had a date of 1785 on it. I figured it was a reproduction, until I was told they had shipped it from Switzerland. I don't know much about antique furniture or painted furniture from the eighteenth century. But, I may ask more questions about this chest or research it.
