Look what I saw on vacation

Traveling is always great fun.  Experiencing new cities, towns, views.  Peeking into gardens, seeing what grows.  Eating the yumminess of the region.

 I also like the signs you see. Here are a few that I want to share with you from my recent trip to Charleston.

love this tile!

This was cemented into the threshold of a new store on the main drag.  I love the romance of the old five and dime with the wooden floors and the waft of popcorn and all things trinkety to see.

When was the last time you have seen this sign?  It was posted in a stable, where the beautiful draft horses that pull the charming carriages, are kept  I guess the chicken we saw in the hay was this attack chicken.  I am scared!

Who knew this fun fact?  The word Pecan is from an Indian word meaning a "Tough Nut to Crack."

Love learning the meanings of words.

And here is what the gum package declared:

Practice safe breath, please!

Last sign, in front of a floral shoppe.  (love saying shoppe, sounds so British and elegant)

I also love chalkboards!

I couldn't agree more!

So can you share a SURSEE that you saw in a sign?  Wouldn't that be a fun contest to have?

Piles, Piles, Everywhere Piles

Who remembers the David Cassidy singing the  song, "Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs"?Listen Here

It is a pretty funny song and one that rolls around in my head when I look around at all the piles in my house.  So, I sing it and replace "Signs" with "Piles".  I know, I am kind of weird.  But listen to the song and you might be doing the same thing.

SO any who... today I am taking a Leslie Day.  That is a day when I set out to clean up, move out, straighten up, read, think, pray, diddle and stay home.

It is raining outside and the tennis tournament was cancelled and my schedule opened up, so I thought, ahhh, A Leslie Day.

Now I would encourage you and me by default, to actually plan these once or twice a month. Give yourself permission to stay home and BE.  Maybe it is when you write some of those letters.

Or organize your junk drawer.

Or go through your piles.


 Which is what I am doing.  All I see everywhere are piles.  Receipts. Photos. Church bulletins.

Things I have cut out of the newspaper or a magazine. Old projects not put away.

I am taking a deep breath and whistling whilst I work and enjoying a Leslie Day.

The Piles are disappearing and I am feelin' groovy.
Come on get Happy!

Another nod to David Cassidy.  I watched waaay too much of The Partridge Family if you know what I am talking about.

So here's to you taking a SURSEE-day for YOU, someday soon.  Let me know what you do on your day.
