When the Cat's away, the mice will play.....

Kay went fishing in Alaska with Pete, Caleb and Ben Hardy.  I have been looking for frames for 2 posters I bought while in UT.  The Heinrich Hofmann painting is one that I had in our living room above the piano. It was on close-out in UT for 2.50 and I bought all 3. One for Janell, me in NE (Lauren all ready told me since I was not in UT she stole mine) and Rachael.  When Kay was called as Bishop, I knew that is why I bought the poster.  Now for a frame under $200.


I went to my thrift stores and guess what I saw.... some Ethan Allen chairs and a table.  They were marked 17.99 for all 6 chairs and 18.99 for the table.  I am a regular so she gave it all to me for 18.99! I didn't even try to talk her down.   The missionaries have someone who needs my old table and chairs. The new one has 2 leaves making it a table to seat 10!

 I was really looking for frames and found a  nice one...  I will give to Janell. Then I went to "hand me ups" a resale furniture store and found a beautiful frame with a ugly flower poster in it for $24. The price on the back is old and says $150.00!  Now it would probably be $250!  The mat was perfect too.

The lady at the store asked me what I was framing so I explained my husband was a Mormon Bishop, a pastor over a congregation and he, as other pastors, represented the Savior when he counseled people who were seeking spiritual guidance.  She is a Christian writer who writes cards to cheer people up.
