MONDAY, MAY 30, 2008 THEY SAY IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND MIPREZIOUS' BIRTHDAY, TOO!!!

EUNICE HAS GOT MAX "HOOKED ON GOODWILL STORES"!!
MAX NEVER PASSES A GOODWILL STORE WITHOUT GOING IN AND SEARCHING FOR THAT RARE TEAPOT FIND!!
EUNICE AND MAX HAVE FOUND SOME OF THE BEST TEAPOTS AT GOODWILL STORES AND HOSPITAL GIFT SHOPS!! MAX DID NOT FIND ANY TEAPOTS, BUT HE DID FIND THIS REALLY VERY BEAUTIFUL "THINGY"!! THE PICTURE DOES NOT SHOW IT'S BEAUTY AT ALL. THIS IS SOLID BRASS AND HAS A DOOR WITH LATCH TO PLACE A CANDLE IN IT.
VERY POOR PICTURE AS IT HAS LEAD GLASS IN BETWEEN BRASS AND IT IS ETCHED. DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE PROPER NAME OF THIS "THINGY" IS? I WOULD LOVE TO FIND OUT MUCH MORE INFORMATION ON THIS "THINGY"!!

AND, NO GIFT GIVING OCCASION GOES BY ME WITHOUT AT LEAST ONE BOTTLE OF MY FAVORITE PERFUNE, LANCOME TRE'SOR!!


MAX AND MIPREZIOUS WERE THE GENEROUS GIVERS OF THIS "HAVE TO HAVE"!!



THERE WAS SOME LARGE $$$$$$






MOOLA IN THE ENVELOP IN THE CARD!! I DID NOT WANT TO CHANCE GETTING IT LOST IN ALL THE PACKAGING AND WRAPPING PAPERS. THUS, WE GAVE MIPREZIOUS THE IMPORTANT JOB OF GUARDING THE CARD!!







OKAY, I WAS CLOSE!! IT WAS TWO MINI TEA POTS!! WAIT TILL NEXT TIME MAX WANTS ME TO TELL HIM ANY THING!!














THESE BOTH HAVE A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL PURPLE THROUGH EACH TEA POT!!














I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM AND THEY HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE FIREPLACE MANTEL.
















AHA!! LOVELY WRAPPED GIFT FROM MY MOTHER!! LOOKS LIKE REALLY FAT ENVELOPE AND IT WAS AS MY MOTHER IS A BIT UPSET WITH ME AS I NEVER CASH HER CHECKS!! I CAN NOT EVER REMEMBER RECEIVING A WRAPPED PRESENT, OR ACTUAL PRESENT AT ALL, SINCE MY FATHER'S DEATH FROM HER!! I GUESSED TEA POT, AND WAS TOLD - NOT!! I FRETTED ALL NIGHT AS TO WHAT COULD IT BE WHILE ALL THE WHILE THAT "TRADER" MAX KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS!!

I HAD BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY FLOWERS!! RIGHT FLOWERS ARE FROM GRANNY LOU!! THE LEFT FLOWERS ARE FROM MAX AND MI!!

L.E.D. FLOOR LIGHT AND MAGNIFIER

THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING LIGHT AND MAGNIFIER I HAVE EVER SEEN.

iIT WAS FEATURED IN SILVER NEEDLE NEWSLETTER AND STATED TWO EMPLOYEES TOOK A LAMP IMMEDIATELY UPON THEIR ARRIVAL AS THEY ALL LIKE IT SO MUCH!!
THIS IS MY LIFT RECLINER WHERE I "NEST" SEVERAL HOURS EACH DAY!! MY VERMONT COUNTRY STORE FLEECE SHAWL IS LAID ACROSS THE BACK OF THE CHAIR. IT IS FANTASTIC WARM YOU UP WHILE STITCHING AS IT HAS A POCKET ON EACH SIDE. VERY COMFY, WARM AND POCKETS ARE SO CONVENIENT FOR SO MANY THINGS!!

YOU CAN NOTICE THE OTT FLOOR

LAMP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE

PICTURE. NOTE DUCT TAPE AND

LIMP MAGNIFIER AND IMAGINE
BRICK ON BASE ON FLOOR!! THE

LAMP WITH THE SHADE HAS A 3-WAY BULB IN CENTER AND THREE OTHER SEPARATE
ON LEFT SIDE IS "LOOK-ALIKE" OTT FLOOR LAMP!! THE NEW L.E.D. FLOOR LAMP MAGNIFIER IS IN FRONT LEFT CORNER OF CHAIR. THERE IS ALSO A LARGE LAMP ON THE END TABLE ON OTHER SIDE OF LEFT LAMPS. AND, MY "LIGHTS UP" LIGHTING TRAY IS BESIDE THE RIGHT SIDE OF CHAIR. OUR ELECTRIC METER DIAL JUST SPINS OUT OF CONTROL!!

LEGS SIMPLY REFUSE TO COOPERATE TODAY!!

THE PACKAGES HAVE BEEN ARRIVING FOR THE LAST TEN DAYS!!! THE EXCITEMENT HAS BUILT UP!! KATHY K. HAS JOINED ME VIA "MA BELL"!! MIPREZIOUS HAS PLACED ALL HER FURY BLANKIES IN DIRECT BACKGROUND OF CAMERA!! HOWEVER, IT HAS TAKEN MAX FOREVER TO BE FINALLY READY SO I AM GOING FOR THE GUSTO!!

YESTERDAY, WE HAD BUSINESS IN THE QUAD-CITIES, 50 MILES SOUTH OF US, LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. EUNICE, OF COURSE, WAS RIGHT BY MY SIDE MAKING SURE EVERY THING WAS AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE FOR ME!!! MY MOTHER, HAS TRULY SURPRISED ME WITH A LOVELY INVITATION FOR EUNICE, MAX, MOTHER AND MYSELF FOR DINNER AT THE TEXAS ROADHOUSE!! WE HAD A LOVELY DINNER AND I HAD HALF A RACK OF BABY BACK RIBS LEFT FOR A DELICIOUS SUPPER FOR MIPREZIOUS!!

IT IS A WONDERFUL DAY, BUT YESTERDAY WAS JUST A BIT TOO MUCH FOR ME AND I DID NOT SLEEP, EVEN A WINK, AS I SIMPLY COULD NOT GET COMFORTABLE WITH MY LEGS!! THE PAIN HAS GOTTEN AWAY FROM ME TODAY, OF ALL DAYS IN A YEAR, BUT I REFUSE TO LET IT RUIN WHAT I AM GOING TO MAKE INTO A PERFECT AND LOVELY BIRTHDAY!!!

I STILL AM IN THE LEARNING PROCESS OF THIS BLOG AND SO I AM A HOPING AND PRAYING I GET A WHOLE LOT OF PICTURES RIGHT AND LABELED CORRECTLY!!

MIPREZIOUS EIGHTH BIRTHDAY

DEBORAH XXXXX-XXXXX BIRTHDAY

TAKE ONE !!!

I KNOW THIS IS LIKE A BAD TELEVISION SHOW "TO BE CONTINUED"!! HOWEVER, I THINK THIS IS A REALLY LONG BLOG POSTING AND THAT I WILL BREAK AT THIS POINT AND BEGIN A "TAKE TWO"!!

OKAY, BORED BLOG READERS, OFF TO BATHROOM BREAK, TAKE NIGHTLY MORPHINE AND HOPE IT WILL KEEP ME GOING ON TO FINISHING THIS YET TONIGHT!!

AND, WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK!!

LOVE & HUGS,

DEBORAH, MAX AND MIPREZIOUS
