Still working on updating our house and I still have a problem with that ugly light in the bathroom. Half of it works, it looks like something you would have in a dressing room and its time to update my light fixtures.  I love the new look of the bronze color for lighting today. I found some really great items to choose from at The Lighting Showplace. Great prices, great items and the best names out there when it comes to lighting fixtures.

My husband and I have a small business, so I am always needing to buy office supplies and always looking for a good deal.  I found a great site the other day called Clean Sweep Supply.  I found what I needed at great prices and this will be my office supply website from now on.  Love the idea of Free Shipping over $50.00, which I have every time I order.

Blog Prompt: Sometimes it is our little nicks, dents, and imperfections – that make us able to relate to other people. How have you seen evidence of this in your own life?

This is such a great prompt for me.  Let me get my list out. 

1. Nerd
2. Geek
3. Wears Thick Glasses
4. Little Pudgy
5. Redneck

ugh!  After seeing the list, I am weird!!  Can you imagine being this way in High School?  I was a geeky, never got in trouble, chubby, glass wearing, Redneck!  I still have close friends that said I was such a nerd in High School.  But, being a nerd and geek is pretty cool now.  That only took 30 years!

Yea, I was picked on, but I think living through all that just made me understand how people work.  I consider myself a very good judge of character and when I realize pretty quick that a new person in my life is not someone I want to hang with, I’m outta there.

I’ve certainly learned how to laugh at myself and have fun.  I think that is the Redneck coming out of me.  Life is too short to take things so seriously that it disrupts my life.

I just love when my hubby dresses up and wears a nice fitting suit and show off his personality with silk ties.  These are quality silk ties and they are priced 40% below retail prices.  Can’t beat that!  There is a huge inventory and a great return policy.  You know, you buy just the right tie for you man and he hates it!  I just love the holiday ties.

Blog Prompt: What is your favorite fall memory?

It’s football season!  I always love this time of year. 

When I was in high school, I was in the marching band and this was always a busy time of the year for us.  Marching contests, Homecoming and half-time shows.  I was the drum major for 3 years in high school and I loved my outfit.  We worked hard as a marching band.  All those early morning and evening practices, so we could get our show just right.

The year after I graduated, the marching band received new uniforms.  I went back to the school and asked the director if I could have my old uniform and was told the old uniforms were all burned!!!!!!!  That just broke my heart.  I had a lot of fun times wearing that uniform and wanted to just have it.  Now what in the world would I do with it.  Who knows.

My son also inherited my joy for the marching band and was part of his high school and college’s marching bands.  I loved going to all his half time shows, except for the one when it was below zero with hurricane force winds.  I don’t know how he marched all those years carrying that huge sousaphone, but he did and did it very well.  Now that he is teaching in high school music, he helps other schools with their marching programs.  His school is too small for football.

This layout was made with Clever Crow Designs Vintage Football kit and shows my son during one of his half time shows at the college he attended.  I always loved singing their fight song.

I love Halloween and always enjoyed it with my son when he was smaller.  Even though we lived in a small community, I sure did enjoy seeing his face as we went from house to house.  I made a few of his costumes and as he aged, we would sit outside and give out candy to the children.  He always loved his costumes so much and would play with them for months afterwords.  Even though I made them and enjoyed that very much, I think I would’ve loved also to shop on line to find a great place to purchase Halloween Costumes  for him.  Something we didn’t have all those years ago.  But, oh how times have changed and so has the ability to shop from your home.

I also love the costumes they have for adults too.  I was looking around at all the different kinds of costume choices and came up with the perfect one for my husband and myself.  We consider ourselves rednecks and the hillbilly wedding costumes are perfect for that.  There is also have teeth you can buy for hillbillies.  Those are great too.

Here is pictures of those great costumes and my husband and I would look great in these and I know, we would have a great time wearing them.  It’s kind of our everyday life.
