Thanks to all for the support and suggestions to help me with my emergency employment issues. I put up a sign at my kiosk for one day and got 2 good candidates for the job. I think I'll hire one of them tomorrow! I could do a commercial for Staples to say "That Was Easy"! Hee Hee! Love you All!

All Work and No Play!

Ok...so today is the first day I've had a moment to breathe in awhile. I don't work until tonight so I can get my hair done, and catch up on book work among other things. Sales are picking up and people are already shopping for Christmas. It gets earlier every year. Come and visit me at the mall. It's my new home until Dec. 31st! I'll try to get a picture of my crystal cart sometime soon. It's beautiful! God Bless you all!

A Heartfelt Blessing...

"People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the
huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the
vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and
yet they pass by themselves without wondering."
~St. Augustine

Let your thoughts be still for a moment and travel within to the
Isle of You, that incredibly peaceful place inhabited by your Soul.
As your breath eases in and out, and all the world around you fades
away, you'll find yourself in the most restful, relaxing place on
earth. And the nice thing is, you can go back any time you like.


May your day be filled with all things good.

Steppin' Out of the Shadows

Here is today's Heartfelt Blessing.

"Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it is dark."
~Zen saying

We stand in the shadow of our lives every time we tell ourselves
that something cannot be done because we are not good enough, or
strong enough, or rich enough, or young enough or thin enough, or
anything else enough. It is only when we boldly declare, "I am
enough!" that we are able to step from the shadow and into the
light of a beautiful new day.



May your day be filled with all things good.

"Hey Coach! I think I need a bigger jersey!"

I am also doing a "Cutest Pet" contest so you can all bring pictures of your cutest pet and vote to win a $10 gift Certificate. No Really!! I'm not kidding! Tell all your friends. Even if you don't have a pet you can still vote (or just come visit me!)! Wish Me Luck!

IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,!
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn! 't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

Isn't it Lovely?

We had a lovely weekend in Minneapolis! Friday night we met Rick's brother Randy and his wife Michelle at our favorite downtown restaurant to celebrate our 26th anniversary. We got to sign up to win tickets for 4 to the Oct. 8th Vikings football game and the guys got to have their picture taken with 2 very "Hot" Vikings Cheerleaders! Hee hee! Michelle WON THE TICKETS!! Then we went to the Comedy show "Triple Expresso". We laughed soooo hard! This is a Great Family Show that runs all year in Minneapolis. I would suggest it to anyone who loves to laugh! A great time was had by all! On Saturday we ate and shopped and then crashed our son Jamey's party he was having that night. We had a blast! Sunday we had an awesome breakfast and then walked around downtown until it was time to bring bagels for breakfast to jamey and Megan and friends. They were actually up until 5:30AM and we showed up around 11:00! Hee Hee! We visited Jamey's studio that he's in the process of remodeling and then Megan had to take off for Winona. Jamey is part of a fall Recreational soccer league and he had a game at 3:00 so we grabbed sandwiches and went to the game. It was so nice to sit in the sun and get excited about watching a sport! I haven't watched him do anything like that since high school over 7 years ago! Weird. Brought back lots of fun memories! You'll all be glad to know that the team won! If I'm not mistaken...this was their 4th game and they're undefeated so far. Check out the pics below. For those of you who wish to know...Jamey's new friend is sitting next to me in the cheering section (blond hair and blue jeans). Her name is Kate and she's a REAL SWEETIE!

2 of the Star members of the team...but where is Osamu?

The Cheering Section!

Yep! He's still got it!
