First line of business was the Antique Club meeting. After a quick meeting the ladies enjoyed refreshments and shopping. I think everyone found something to go home with. A few ladies have returned to buy somethings they had seen but had to sleep on it first. Oh! maturity it can be to practical sometimes. 
Until I can find that round piece of glass to fit this old iron table, I am willing to let the chickens roost on it. They enjoy sitting on it each evening for about an hour before they go to their night time post. It is cute to see them all sitting in a circle. I am not sure who breaks up their little party but soon they are all off to bed.
We have been moving these river stones out of the back yard and into my side garden area.
My favorite flowering bush, it has been blooming for about 2 weeks now. I love the cream edges on the leaves.
I had a pathway in this garden but it is a bit overgrown now. It needs some pruning sometime soon. The gravel needs a little refreshing also. Oh! I could find a lot of things to catch up on at home if I wanted to. 
This beautiful ruby red hanging lamp has a little crack in the glass, so I thought I would just enjoy it hanging in my arbor. It is so pretty when the sun shines through . The Hummingbirds seem to love it also.
This table was in the Post Office for many years before being discarded. I am not sure how many years it was outside before I rescued it. The rain and the weather rusted the top so beautifully. After a little yellow paint and some sanding on the top it is a beauty now.... I am not the only one who loved it, so did the gentleman yesterday. It is his new dinning table now. You would have to agree that a one piece table top made of metal is so easy to care for. It also has a nice big drawer to hold linens, salt and pepper or silverware. The table is sturdy, practical, heavy duty and beautiful. I am sure it will be around for many years to come. It is already around 60 years old.
I have tried different chairs around it. It even looks great with the bench on one side. The bench has been sold or Peter would have bought it to go with his table. I am on the lookout for another bench that would work for him. That is not always easy to find the right piece right away. Patience! 
I love this old wooden truck that some Grandfather made for the garden or patio. It would be sweet with small Christmas gifts loaded in the back. I actually dumps too!
Look at Andy in the child's pull sled. The sled would also look great with Christmas gift in it.
Some silver spoons and forks that I found at a Estate Sale. Something tells me my daughter Brandy might like them.....ya I think so. In all honesty I bought them hoping that she want them.
This last Sunday was a wonderful day for our family. We attended Elijah's Dedication to the Lord. As Grandparents we felt so Blessed. Later in the day we had a wonderful lunch at the other Blessed Grandparents home. There were cousins, aunties, grandmothers, grandfathers and even a great grandmother hugging and kissing little Elijah. We all waited our turn to hold him and love on him. He was sooooo good and had a big smile for each one of us....May God Bless you little man. Love, Oma
Don't ya just love the color green on this old metal tool box?
I came across this old military file cabinet a few weeks ago. I think it makes for an interesting side table. It is from WWII and the drawers open and close easily. Great for storage.
I am tired of painting white and black. So here is a new paint color for me.... I am loving the brightness and cheer.
The morning started off early 5 am. I baked some blueberry muffins, made a fruit salad, sliced some cheese and ham, things were going well. Thought I would get to the store early. First thing to do: filled the large coffee pot with water and measured out the coffee and get it started. It takes a long time to brew. So plugged it in....Oh know! It was broken, it would not perk...called my loyal friend and asked her if I can I use her large coffee pot? Oh know! she had loaned it to someone else. What can I do?? Dear friend (Betty) brought over her little house coffee pot and some warming pots and she started to make coffee for me and filling the warming pots. Bless her, she is such a good friend. I am glad that she came up with the idea. It all turned out wonderful and we had a good time. We even had coffee left over. That was great because some of my family was driving from Canada to Southern CA and stopped in for a visit. We also had a great time catching up on our family. It was an exciting morning.
Here are a couple of loyal sweet ladies, I invited them over a month ago and they marked their calendar and did not forget to come. Thank you for getting up early and having coffee with us.
Now you can meet three of the handsome husbands in town. Mine is the one in the middle...
Meet Agatha and Larry, they are Mr. and Mrs. Escalon. Every year Escalon picks a new Mr. and Mrs. this is a very special couple. They own the Ace Hardware Store and everyone knows what good service they will get there. This is a good place to end today...Hope that your day went well too. sandi
Here is a photo of Barney looking for a mouse that got away from him. Lucky for the mouse that Barney was not in his fast mode that morning.
Sometimes I find just the perfect little table for the store. This one was a winner. Small with drop leaves, painted a celery green, built so sturdy and heavy. Lots of charm. I wish I had tables like this come my way more often. It would also be a cute child's table.
I was fast enough to get a photo of this cute head and foot board bed bench. We already took the sweet pillows off it, when I said let me get my camera. Next step was to load the bench in her truck... and she drove away with a big smile on her face. 
Here is my old dog Logan. She is a great watch dog. She stays home to keep an eye on the place. She has her eyes on a chicken that is up on a tree stump making a lot of noise.
I made delivery for a special friend and look what she made for me...Oh! does this look good or what? Yes, it was so delicious. I ate the whole thing! She even sent home some for Jim and I for lunch. You know what? Jim ate it all before I told him some was for me.....Thank you Dear friend for the wonderful thoughtful treat. I enjoyed the morning with you...
