* The list

I picked up my armoire yesterday.  The shop is close to mega, the huge grocery store.  I volunteered to pick up the groceries, alone!  It suddenly dawned on me ... everything is in Spanish.  I don't know exactly what brands Sylvia likes.  This could be interesting.  I requested a list.   I asked Sylvia to be 'very specific'.  Here's the list she gave me.

I think it's brilliant!  Everything in photographs so I could simply look on the shelf and match it up.  Very easy and very effective. 

Yesterday afternoon the house was buzzing.  Odd and ends needed to be done.  A leak under the sink, a new latch on a door, the fan was 'wobbeling', trees needed new stakes.  Sylvia also wanted a planter built for her new trumpet vine.  It was again, amazing to watch.  Brick, mortar, and skilled hands.  A beautiful planter was built in no time.  The cost?  $30.00.

We are born to be happy, to be abundantly supplied with every good thing, to have fun in living, to consciously unite with the Divine Power that is around us and within us, and to grow and expand forever.  ~ Ernest Holmes
