The calm after the storm...

Hurricane Mary is headed north. If you live in Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, or Wisconsin, seek shelter immediately (unless you own a store, then put out every cool thing you own in hopes she passes by and sees it).

Seriously, the MIL left this morning for the very long drive back to Wisconsin. We had a wonderful visit, but I must say I am looking forward to going home to a quiet house this evening. After dark last night, we helped her load her truck with all her Texas loot. Thankfully, I am a master packer (I once moved an entire apartment in my Ford Escort). Here are a couple of photos of the fabulous painted furniture she got at the City Wide Garage Sale. I just love it!











And here is a photo from this morning of our packing job. There is a giant candelabra that just wouldn't fit. It is now residing in my family room, and looks pretty darn good there.

Goodbye Grandma Mary! We loved having you. Thanks for all the great stuff!
