FINISH IT UP FRIDAY---FIVE FOTOS FOR FUN~and a couple of OLD SECRETS

I can hardly believe it

but I am getting my photo files

all cleaned up doing this

Finish it up Friday thing.

When I search for photos to use here

I am deleting some and moving others 

into their proper storage folders.

Whoo Hooo.

SO!

What is up this week?

MY LITTLE STAR---RIA

is off to a dance competition in 

Chicago.

She always takes a prize.

She is the most graceful little girl 

I have ever seen.

Even when not dancing

she moves like a dancer.

Isn't she a beauty...

with a little SASS thrown in for fun.

Makes me want to cut hearts out of leaves

when I look at her.

Don't you love this idea!?!

I HEART this little guy, too.

This old dollhouse sits under a covered "porch"

on the front part of our garage.

CJK- is fascinated by it and always checks it

to see if "fairies" are inside.

He KNOWS they are there.

On my side porch off the dining room

I have a glass topped table & chair set

 I bought from my

neighbor years ago.

I pull the cushions off it for winter

and it starts looking bare.

But-who says that a 

FRUIT CENTERPIECE 

won't work outside?

AND if you use fake faux fruit

you won't get "critters" eating them.

I send them  next door to eat the 

neighbor's pumpkins.  

I am a good neighbor that way.

Speaking of FRUIT---

Have you seen this little "trick"

on the internet somewhere?

Is that cute or what?

Cutie-pie clementines

with a piece of celery for the stalk.

Well, there's my FIVE photos--

of course #1 counted as THREE pictures, 

I suppose.

I never was very good at 

FOLLOWING THE RULES

and I have the deportment remarks on my

old report cards to prove it.

I blame my father for that...

hey---gotta blame somebody.

He was a smart-aleck, too.

This is a TRUE STORY!

When I missed school I 

ALWAYS wrote my own excuses to turn in 

to the teacher in charge of truancy.

ONE DAY

I asked my MOM to write my excuse for me

because I was in a hurry.

When I turned it in they called HER 

to see if I had 

FORGED MY EXCUSE.

SHE was MAD at ME

for that!

Seriously?!?!???

Maybe if you are 

REALLY GOOD I will tell you about

the time I tipped over backwards in

Accounting class and my

full skirt and can-can

went up over my head.

I blame Charlie Watson for that!

He put his feet against the legs of my chair

when I went to push my chair back 

to stand up.

Pfffffttttt...

Mrs. Harkness never liked me anyway.

She liked me even less after 

THAT INCIDENT.
