Day 118 ~ Leave Your Mark, Not A Sale!

Today has been a great day all around!  I know someone was smiling down on me today.

This morning I woke up snuggling with Calley... and since Dean had already told her last night that it was Grandma Sally's birthday today, I witnessed a lovely serenade of Happy Birthday from her as well.  It was beautiful and very heart felt.  So cute! and sung pretty well if I don't say so myself!

As our day continued, it was a good productive day... I finished about nearly half the pricing on items for an estate/garage sale I am holding this weekend.  Tomorrow the goal is to finish the rest and be done with it until the sale itself.  

So sad to see a person's life be reduced to a sale... I tell you... I give you my word... I am not buying anymore stuff for the house, especially my kitchen, unless really necessary... and if it is necessary to do so... I am buying quality so that eventually Calley will use it.  For example, Calley will eventually get my Calphalon pans and KitchenAid Stand Mixer... just to mention a couple of things.

I guess I have committed myself now!  LOL!  No, really they will be Calley's one day.  And YES!!  She already loves to cook  :)


I'd like to end my post tonight on an angelic note ;)  Happy Birthday to a special angel looking down on us all, from above... Happy Birthday Sally.  

I would like to say is that Sally was a very awesome person!! (I know that may not be proper grammar... however it applies to Sally!) She's Dean's mother (1942~ 2005)... and she was a beautiful person who was very smart when it came to the English language (it came very easy to her, she loved it), a sense of humor that kept you laughing, not to mention a worldly knowledge that left everyone, especially me, awestrickened.  She was an awesome friend, and an even better parent.  A terrific mother-in-law and great garage sale-er (I often pick something up that I acquired with her garage sale-ing and smile!!.)  A true lady.  Very missed.

If the essence of my being has caused a smile to have appeared upon your face or a touch of joy within your heart, then in living I have made my mark.   ~  Thomas L. Odem Jr.

Blessings to all!!
