A MIRACLE HAPPENED!!!

The MOST awesomest thing happened today.  Truly the best thing ever.  The phone rang.  Not a number I know but I decided to answer anyway.
It was a friend of Joan's (Bill's brother Frank's wife…nicest person ever).  This friend lives here in Victoria and Joan had sent her last night's post.  She was calling to tell me she was interested in a whole lot of furniture I listed in that post.

Needless to say I leapt up and clicked my heels in the air and made arrangements for them to come over around supper time.  I couldn't believe it!!

So they arrived right on time and in they came and they agreed to take just about everything!!!  I couldn't believe it!  They have a pickup and they loaded up a bunch of it today.  After Monte and I are finished in the garage this week they will come back and take even more.  You have no idea how happy this makes me!!!!  And….the couple of things they are not interested in (a futon, sofa bed and storage leather trunk/coffee table) may be of interest to a friend of theirs!!!  This is going to save me so much time and work.  I am truly ecstatic!!!

A lovely day today….Em and I went to Walmart and attained everything we went in for.  We then went to Original Joe's for dunch (very late lunch almost dinner)  We then came home and watched two more episodes of Downton Abbey.  She helped me clear off the shelves downstairs, she packed the books and we cleaned them off, ready for the Simards.  My voice echoes downstairs now!  Wheee….so happy.  THANK YOU JOAN AND THANK YOU SHEILA AND MARCEL!!! TTYL

PS:  I just read the comment about someone wanting the trifle recipe.  

either a home baked or store bought lemon loaf or bundt type cake.

two boxes of lemon pie filling or a homemade batch…doubled.

two cans or 2 or 3 cups  fresh pineapple chunks.  If fresh sprinkle a little sugar on the chunks ahead of time.

In a glass bowl layer the ingredients.  Cut the cake in cubes and just plop the cake, pineapple, and spoons of lemon pie filling randomly into the bowl.  make some whipping cream and add sugar (as sweet as you prefer it) and zest of one lemon.  I make it in the morning and put it in the fridge all day to get it cold.
