At Leisure

I have my home all to myself! *Ü*

My daughter Melissa is in Washington D.C. visiting with her cousin, Tim. He is a student at American University, just about to start his senior year. On August 11, Melissa will begin her student teaching/credential program. This trip is their "last hurrah" before starting a very busy year! I hope they're having a blast!

My husband is in NY, on Long Island to be exact. He grew up in Queens, playing a game called "Slap Ball". (A game played with a soft ball where the aim is to keep the ball from hitting the floor/ground by "slapping" the ball upwards with the hand. Usually played in a circle of about 5-6 players but more or less players is just as good.) Every 5 years, a bunch of his buddies from the "hood" get together for a Slap Ball tourney! Mind you, these are 60 & 70 year olds! I hope he doesn't break anything!!!

So that leaves me, the dog & the cat to enjoy a weekend of doing what ever we want! Doesn't that sound lovely? I plan to take full advantage. Today, my girlfriend & I are going to our favorite Home Dec fabric store - Calico Corners! I haven't planned anything beyond that...nice!


I won't be around for a couple of days! See you early next week! Chris

  1. Oh Chris, that's terrific! I love having the house all to myself. And fabric shopping, that's top on my list of things to do. Unfortunately, we do not have a Calico Corners around here. But I do have Les Tissus Colbert, which is a home dec store that imports all their fabric from France. 120 inches wide and wider!!!

  3. Hi Chris!
    Thanks for stopping by to see me! That's ok if you ever call me Edie Marie, I would consider it a compliment!! The Edie is for my Aunt and the Marie is for my Mom.
    Sounds like you are going to have a great weekend with some girl time and relaxation!
    Hugs, Sherry

  4. I sure hope that you had a great week-end! I've never been to a Calico Corners store -- only been able to look on the internet. :(

    Have fun!
    Blessings,
    Julie
