Bill is home this week on spring break. We have been doing lots of projects like the garage and the yard. Well "I" do the yard except for mowing. He hates it as well as any hard labor. He says he uses is brain instead of his brawn. I say hogwash!!! HA! He is loving, fun, kind, and a keeper in spite of his lazy ways, he is still a keeper for almost 48 years now.<br /><br />Love the song, the story and the X in Texas. Afun post today.<br /><br />The vintage Hankies are all so pretty. I have always had a thing for hankies but I don't use them either. I tuck one in my purse though. Just in case.<br /><br />I too love the feminine days of old. Beautiful vintage clothes. BUT, I love modern conveniences!!!<br />Hugs, Jeanne<br /><br />So now that I am caught up with your posts, the garage is still not done. Have a wonderful day and thank for the music. It is giving me energy to get to work.
