Monday, Monday

Well, Hello Monday...

Where did the weekend go? Come back, please.

How was yours?

Mine was busy, as my mind was a whirlwind of ideas,

concerns, what if's, lists of things to be done, longer lists

of things which remain undone...

You get the idea.

But it's a new week, and with it comes a new start!

I'll continue transferring this internal dialogue to the blogosphere 

as I share beautiful images from

Carol Hicks Bolton Antiquites,

now open for business in Fredericksburg, Texas.

Did I mention that my husband totaled his car?

Well, he did.

He hit a monster deer last week, and his sad little

Pontiac Vibe went to the great scrapyard in the sky.

It served him well, as she logged over 238,000 miles, though.

 Which means he we get a new car, wheeeeee!!!

Thank the good Lord above we've finally sold

our old house and are due to close in a couple of weeks.

No more double mortgages, thank you God
that we can afford another car payment now.

 Personally, I don't care what kind of car

the Mister gets to replace the old one, just so long

as he gets a deer or brush guard put on it.

His death tally already includes several deer, a buzzard,

and an already dead feral hog
lying in the middle of the road { seriously! },

so methinks that would be an essential accessory, no?

Just a quick pause to ask,

don't you think these images are positively yummy?

Nothing to do with me, it's all the Hicks-Bolton magic.

Anyhoo....

Sometimes, like this morning,
I stop and give thanks for all

the incredible friends I have acquired
through this blogging adventure.

 A wonderful morning phone call with a sweet photographer friend,

some text messages with a long distance friend and mentor,

planned visits with Carol and Co. later in the week...

All precious individuals I met through and because of

this blog. It's during those moments of weariness and

dryness in my blogging that I resolve to soldier on,

because as time consuming and difficult as it can be

at times to churn out regular blog content,

it is more than worth it, because of these amazing

contacts and friendships I have made through it.

 Today is the day I begin getting all of our tax info

in order, oh joy....I think I hear my camera calling me,

beckoning me on a diversionary field trip, instead.

Ugh, I think I'd rather have a root canal than do taxes!

 And how sweet is this, I ask you?

The genius of Carol Hicks Bolton.

I just hope some of it rubs off on me.

And you?

What does your week hold in store?

Have a beautiful one!
