“Stay positive and happy. Work hard and don’t give up hope. Be open to criticism and keep learning. Surround yourself with happy, warm and genuine people.” ~ Tena Desae
Hello Saturday! Last night I stayed up into the wee hours watching the first three episodes of Little House on the Prairie. 🙂 If you’ve got Amazon Prime, lucky you, because there are 9 seasons to watch this month. Wahoooo!
On the agenda for today:
- TAKE A NAP
- Recycle center / hunt for treasure
- Return books to library / pick up some new ones
- Finish horse and flower rug
- Serge stack of rug hooking patterns
- Supervise the HH as he makes my birthday cake
- Attempt to fit into corduroys
Well, that’s my to do list for today. How about YOU? Do you have anything exciting planned?
Have a wonderful {and restful} Saturday everyone,
♥ Mavis & Lucy

Happy Birthday, Mavis! May you have many happy memories of the day!
When my husband took me to see Apollo 13, I left the theater in silence, thinking about the close call. I remembered the event, but did not remember that they were so close to death. My husband casually asked, “Do you know the moral of that story?” I looked at him aghast! Moral??? Finally he said, in his deadpan way, “Don’t go anywhere, including the moon, without duct tape!”
Couldn’t argue, and I did finally take a breath and laugh.
Vicki in Birmingham says
