Old Friends

I just "found" some old college friends on Facebook and let me tell you....I feel like I'm 20 again. We spent some time on Bourbon St. in New Orleans our last year in college (it was strictly professional....we were there for a conference ~ hee, hee!)  and somehow wound up with a purple feather boa.  I hadn't thought of that thing for 10 years until I was cleaning out some stuff for a yard sale and a tiny piece of purple feather came to the surface.  It was one of those laugh-out-loud moments where you can almost close your eyes and be back there again.  I had the best time in college....I learned so much about life (and I'm sure some scholarly things as well), myself, and how to become a productive member of society (wait a minute....I don't have a job....am I a productive member of society ~yikes)  Although FB can be a pretty nasty temptation to stray away from things that are "right" (time with family, obligations, healthy relationships, etc...) it's a wonderful place for me to see friends, old and new, and marvel at what wonderful people are in my life.  So, to all of my great friends, if we were on Bourbon St. again I would say "cheers" and enjoy one with you, but at this point in my life....I'll go put the kiddos down for a nap, make a glass of Kool-Aid, think about you, and SMILE ;)

Fundraiser #2

Just some of the cute stuff!

We are currently having our 2nd fundraiser for our adoption.  I have a fabulous friend who designed and created Rosie Posie children's clothing.  Several years ago she decided to stop production so she's letting me sell the items she still has in stock.  This was absolutely the most generous thing she could do for us....my portion is all profit for us to use for adoption expenses!  I also have fabulous friends who have told their friends about the sale,shopped, even one who is selling for me via her Facebook business page!  I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of support my friends and family are showing to help us bring our girl home.  The sale is still going on so you can contact me via email (theperrys876@comcast.net) to set up a time to come by.  Everything is only $8 so come check it out!!!
