Everytime I hauled something home, I would hear him say "Old Woman, she's takin' junk home again. What in the world does she want THAT for?" Then he would be so proud if my idea turned out well...and tell everybody" That Jackson just takes all sorts of junk and uses it everywhere in her house".

I love the mantel in your guest room, too! You are one creative lady! <br />Did I tell you that Brian is now home and his brother has signed up and is now in training. He had just recently gotten married, so he has left his new bride in order to go to boot camp. My sister is not very happy with him. But, she is very happy to have Brian back on home soil.<br />Have a sweet and sunny day,<br />Big hugs, CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984727854409721822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384833637743503154.post-36277300718461432692011-03-01T09:13:41.656-05:002011-03-01T09:13:41.656-05:00Hi Gail!
