Pink Roses

Happy Saturday!  The weather has turned cooler, fall-like.

Yesterday I was tempted to buy some lovely pink roses for myself at the store.  Then I decided I didn't really need cheering up!  Before I knew it I was donating $2 to a good charity at the cashier.  Later that evening, a canvasser knocked on my door soliciting donations for people with physical disabilities.  I thought, why not?  Then I thought of the $8 rose bouquet I didn't buy and decided it was better use of the money donating to these worthy charities.  I did get a tax receipt for the latter donation.


I also have this to share today. Do you have this problem? I usually don't worry about it, thinking the match will show up sooner or later!  That statement seems to have a double meaning, lol.

I have a whole collection of odd socks - where do the other ones get to? Valerie

You are more trusting than I am. I never open the door to strangers, because there have been many home invaders here in Hawaii. They knock down the home owner, tie him up or even kill him, and then steal stuff inside the house. Horrible!

That is a funny statement and it happens ever so often doesn't it.
Enjoy your weekend

Good for you! Those worthy charities were a better choice.

Happy Saturday! We also have much cooler weather. And it's beautiful and sunny today.

This is too cute. I think I have the mates to those socks in my socks drawer.

It does have double meaning in such a cute way!

Darling! I do have the same problem of disappearing socks. Someone told me that the space below the dasher is just large enough to suck in small items like socks. I know that there are many that have never found their mates. Socks, I mean.

The sock hanging is very funny, brought a giggle to my day... I think it's hard sometimes to know what to give and when, but I'm sure it means so much to the places you donated to.
