I'll loan you the piece that hangs in my hallway: if you come to see me,
come anytime; if you come to see my house, make an appointment

I like that one!

In my dining room, there's a flowery sampler that says: "Thou Shalt Not
Whine"

Anybody else have a pithy philosophical remark displayed prominently in
your home?

the weather stains of time" - works for me lol

I REALLY like that Sheena!!!
Me too!

I'm going to hurt myself chuckling over that one!

Great topic, Sue!

I have one at work: "I'm too busy to be organized!" and a mug that
dictates, "Please don't straighten out the mess on my desk. *You'll
confuse me and screw up my whole world." *Any guesses as to what my
office area looks like???

The one I have at home hanging in my kitchen says, "Housework makes
you ugly!"

Joan

I want to chart up


"Stop Talking while I'm interrupting" (my MIL had that hanging in her
kitchen on a little plaque.)


And perhaps as a sampler any of the following
"This life interrupted by hockey season"

"Another day, another rink"

"She Shoots, She Scores"


Cheryl

My contribution

There is so much good in the worst of us
And so much bad in the best of us
That it ill behooves any of us
To talk about the reat of us.

LOL - understood. *However, at the present due to the final throes of repair
by the builder the sunroom is full of the living room stuff, etc, the family
room has some overflow, and the guestroom covered by the sorting through of
what is still going out to charities, leftovers from a gala I ran, and a lot
of hockey ref-wear. *Um, also - as I'm just about done putting the finish on
the unfinished furniture we got for the 2nd guestroom/DH's "room" & a piece
for the family room, there is some additional shuffling of things into the
upstairs open hall/loft. *I don't really worry about states of perfection -
that went a long time ago. *Just the general it's nice for the guests to
have a place to be without fear of attack by heaps of stuff, hockey-gear,
vicious dust-bunnies, etc......

Ellice

ROTFLMAO "vicious dust bunnies" - is THAT what I heard growling last
night? I thought the Mr. had just taken up snoring....

Well, I'm pretty sure 'round here it's the vicious dust bunnies, as DH
denies all rumors of any snoring. Of course, once the VDBs get going, next
is Puckster wuffling, snortling, and paws going - all in his sleep as well
- but those retriever/bird dog instincts seem to apply in his sleep, and to
bunnies as well (not that he has ever hurt a creature). The VDBs just cling
to him...maybe they recognize him as an ancestor...so to speak.

Cheryl is accustomed to being attacked by hockey gear.

Yes, but not ref gear - which might scare her - and roller gear....Plus, we
try (note the try) to be hospitable to our guests. I did promise her a room
with adjoining bath

Especially by olfactory overload!

LOL - that is definitely not the problem here - especially as the laundry is
upstairs on the bedroom level. Anything stinky is left down 2 floors below,
and airing in the fitness room. Upstairs - stuff goes mostly right into the
laundry room. Though I will confess that at times the darn ref gear bag is
sitting in the foyer way too long. And I don't like thinking about the
goalie body bag which is sitting in the garage... Sadly, the stink source
in the guest room is the airing with little fan station for shin pads and
skates. But, that room right now looks like a hockey store. There is an
incredible amount of gear, understuff, sweaters, socks, accessories pile up
all over the bed. You could likely shop for the namesake here - I bet my
"thinner" days gear might fit her....Hmmmmm.

Hope to be able to me more of my good friends. Bobbie V

I'll be home sometime Saturday evening and my head will still be
spinning. I am in a state of complete discombobulation right now. Have
not had a moment to stop and think for a week. Yesterday was major
shopping for DD's new apartment - thank you, IKEA! - and I am leaving
large chunks of money in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

Will be home late Saturday after the Winterthur tour. I have Sunday
and Monday reserved for stitching a project that returns to its owner
on Monday evening.

I'm not sure I have any free time on Monday. But maybe I can squeeze
in some moments...

I'm also thinking Monday - so maybe we can hook-up with Bobbie for lunch and
then I'll do a quickie shop with her? Anyhow - any others in the area want
to meet us - I know that Sue H. cannot make it. Will follow-up directly.

I too will be at Winterthur on Saturday, then busy Sat night, then Sunday at
my ref re-cert seminar.....
