Pink Saturday
Happy Pink Saturday!!
This week I am sharing a very precious find I picked up right before the holidays in an antique shop in the next county.... My previous coworker and partner teaching third grade actually works a stall there and I was there to see her, when all of a sudden I looked up and there it was!
I had been seeking this for years.. since 1988 at least. My grandmother had this print hanging over her bed and I always loved it... Of all the things she had, this was the one thing that made me think of her the most.... and I hoped my mom would inherit it in her portion of worldly goods.... there were 6 sisters dividing the household items, but alas, it got away and I never saw it again.. so I have scanned every shop since then, hoping against hope, to find a copy.. then suddenly without really trying... there it was...a closeup....
reveals its quaint PINK charms.
PS Imagine my glee when as I watched You've Got Mail, Meg Ryan had this same print hanging in her New York apartment. You might look for it next time you watch that film!!!!

Random Dozen

So, are you ready to play Plinko?
Definition of plink: "Plinking refers to informal target shooting done at non-traditional targets such as tin cans, glass bottles, and balloons filled with water." Plinko is also a carnival game we play at Oneighty, but pot-luck shots fits this meme better, I think.
So here are your random plinko questions lined up in a row just like tin cans:
1. How old is the oldest pair of shoes in your closet? That would be my wooden shoes that I bought when we visited the Netherlands in 1973.. Still holding up very well... if they are the most uncomfortable shoes you could imagine!
2. Did you buy Girl Scout cookies this year? If so, what variety? Not yet,,, havent seen any for sale anywhere.... but it would be chocolate mint!!
3. Do you know how to ballroom dance? If not, would you like to? No,, I dont think I really have the energy to do that well.. love to watch it though!!
4. Were you a responsible child/teenager?Definitely... back in the day,, there was no other way was there?
5. How many of this year's Oscar-nominated movies did you see?The Blind Side... loved it!!
6. If you're going to have a medical procedure done, such as having blood drawn, is it easier for you to watch someone else having the procedure done or have it done yourself? Are you kidding?
7. What is your favorite day of the week and why? I do love Saturday.. there is always the hope that something unexpected will happen on a Saturday!
8. Do you miss anyone right now? This lovely girl and her wonderful husband!!
9. Do hospitals make you queasy? No I am very thankful to have the benefit of fine hospitals and today's medical advancements.
10. At which store would you like to max-out your credit card. Not that you ever would, you responsible person, you. Well, nothing is worth maxing out my credit card and going in debt for.. but I do enjoy shopping online at Old Durham Road.
11. Are you true to the brand names of products/items? Not at all... I look for value wherever it might come from.
12. Which is more difficult: looking into someone’s eyes when you are telling someone how you feel, or looking into someone’s eyes when he/she is telling you how he/she feels?Looking into their eyes when I am telling how I feel....
