Hey all you parents, grandparentals, and teachers ~

Someone somewhere has proclaimed August as Back to School Month.  Whatever happened to those lazy weeks of summer, Labor Day weekend, and then school starting?

Our oldest has been back to college for a few weeks.  The others are returning home from summer adventures hither and yon.  Practices for volleyball and track are kicking off and churches are ramping up their activities.  School shopping will be more expensive than ever ... backpacks, sneakers, supplies, digital everything, extracurricular gear.  And clothes, of course.  

Gone are the days when all you needed was a black and white notebook, a few sharpened pencils in a vinyl zippered bag, a new pair of shoes, and a bad haircut.

THE TALE OF 4 CHAIRS


13 1/2 months after ordering, 
the comfy rocker recliners seem relieved 
to have finally arrived at their new home



one of the former chairs found herself
quite happily moved upstairs to a 
cozy, quiet corner of the bedroom 



this free fabulously chippy Adirondack chair
 sat at the side of the road begging for 
an appreciative owner who'd love her forever
