Every time I see red and white gingham my mind takes me back to the family picnics we had as a child. Whether it was at Bear Mountain, NY or Silver Lake, DE spreading that red and white tablecloth across a dirty wooden table meant a day filled with FOOD, FUN, and FAMILY!
One year a bunch of us kids got lost in Bear Mountain and we were scared to death that a real bear was going to eat us (child’s imagination running wild). We roamed around the woods for what seemed like hours, scared and arguing over which way was the right one back. Eventually we found our way and none of the adults seemed to miss us so we didn’t get into trouble and life was good again. Things got even better when we saw that red and white gingham tablecloth covered with FOOD – hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, corn on the cob, potato salad, chips, Kool-Aid, cookies and watermelon! We ate until we got sick and made a pact to never venture into the woods ever again – aaah more wonderful childhood memories!

Yesterday I was so busy and exhausted after cleaning out the crawl space after a minor plumbing problem that I didn’t follow my Sunday evening routine. Normally on Sunday nights I prepare my outfits for the week, they are pulled, matched and hung neatly on the outside of my closet door. In the mornings I don’t have to worry about what I am going to wear or waste time trying to match shoes and accessories which for me is vital because I definitely am NOT a morning person. In addition to not having my outfits prepared, I had a restless night thinking about Malik going to an amusement park with his friends today. Can’t imagine why I am so anxious but I can now appreciate how my grandmother felt every time I left the house when I was in High School. I prayed that they have safe passage to and from the park and he did send a text that they had arrived safely.
Now on to today’s miss matched outfit which I didn’t notice until after viewing the pics – not one color in this shirt matches the pants!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and was able to enjoy this beautiful Sunday a day the Lord hath made. The weather is gorgeous but the sun is intense. My men and I worked outside yesterday and I have yet to put on sun screen (smack my hand) and my back is getting darker and darker. Today Tayair and I went grocery shopping at Food Lion, once the weather heats up my menu lightens up so I was able to get everything for less than $100.00!

Once again we have been blessed with a beautiful, sunny day and to top it off it’s FRI-YAY!! Traffic this morning heading north was light because most people are heading south to the Jersey Shore – thank you my friends!! This afternoon I may not be so lucky with the south bound traffic heading to the Delaware beaches. Where ever you are headed this weekend I hope that you have a fan-tas-tical, fun in the sun time with tropical drinks that have tiny little umbrellas in them – be safe my friends!!

Sunday instead of grocery shopping at Food Lion I went to Giant because I needed a service from PNC and Food Lion doesn’t have an in store bank. I do like Giant but like it’s name they have giant deals that oftentimes causes me to overspend. They also offer .05 cent off for each reusable bag and I have a trunk full of them; they double coupons up to .99 cents and the best incentive of all is the Shell Gas Rewards Points. Yesterday I found a few good deals using coupons and my Rewards card as well as receiving 638 gas points, I may have to stick with a list and shop there more often.

FRI-YAY ~ 1st DAY OF JUNE ~ END OF THE WORK WEEK!
It can’t get any better than that but I do hope that the rain holds off because tomorrow I plan on setting up a table at the Flea Market in Middletown. Over the past few weeks I have doing some serious purging around the house in hopes of making a few extra dollars, but anything that doesn’t sell will be donated to Goodwill!

I don’t remember where I purchased the bracelets and ring, but I bought the earrings from a shop in Rehoboth Beach back in the 80’s

“Ding Dong…Avon calling…” I am an Independent Sales Rep for Avon but I don’t ring customer’s bells however, this slogan always comes to mind when I wear pink. This morning I started with a red top because it pairs well with a black white combo, but later changed to the pink which works equally well.
In keeping with the Avon theme, my jewelry includes my Avon 125th Anniversary Charm bracelet, a CZ ring, black beaded necklace and Sunshine Nail polish. If you are interested in ordering Avon products, please go to my website http://www.youravon.com/ablake48 to place an order – the new way to “ding dong”! ((^_^))

My favorite consignment shop is Charmingly Linda’s and she is having a big Memorial Day Sale, 3 days Everything is 30% off ! Earlier in the week I had stopped in and made a small purchase, and while there saw a pair of espadrilles that I liked but didn’t buy. The next day I read about the sale on her Facebook post and made plans to go back on Thursday.
Linda has racks and racks of awesome designer women’s and men’s clothing, her boutique is warm and inviting and the customers are friendly. After I completed my purchase I stayed a little longer assisting a few others with their selections. For a short time I was a thrift fashion consultant, which was fun and just might become my second career.
