The Color Red

Christy has said much of what I feel here.

I was in Berlin, Ohio with 29 SS sisters over the weekend. We paid our respect to a fellow sister's loss with a balloon release.

I had tears. I've never met Donnann or her family but I had tears as Benita led us in prayer for a sweet 5 year old boy no longer with us.

The balloons before release.


Heading outside for the release.


Towards the light in the sky.


My thoughts today have been with the family. I am wearing red.

Hugs to all of my SS Sisters and their families today.

A blog train for Danny....

Lots of my sisters are blogging about this.

Here's your answer Heidi!

You know that I work for a textile rental company. We rent uniforms, linens, floor mats etc to various types of customers.

Many of our customers are restaurants. They rent our tablecloths and napkins. When the dirty come back to us, quite often we find that which is pictured in the Wordless Wednesday photo!

You name it, we get it....

We get that much silverware.

We get dirty dishes.

We get remote controls.

We salt and pepper shakers.

Every so often the company owner will go thru this and sort the silverware. Some customers pay a small price for it to be returned to them. But, many others don't! Once a month, this lady has a "garage sale" at our old plant where items that are not good enough to be used for rental customers are sold. Now, these items are still in decent shape. She'll sell a pair of work pants for $1.00 and shirts for $.50. Very good items for working in the garden etc. So this silverware will go in the garage sale. She makes money on it even though she sells it for cheap.

What you see on the table, that is just a portion of what we had. Before I took the pic, she took several boxes packed full over to the garage sale building.

Here are some close ups of areas on the table:







In a nutshell, this is what happens to restaurant silverware. It gets pitched in with the linens and they don't want it back! No wonder why some restaurants charge so much for the meals!?!?!?!??

This makes me sad....

I went to get food for the dogs today and I was very surprised when I saw the sign advertising what breeds they had for sale inside.



I know that Havanese are sold in stores elsewhere but I had not seen them in this area. In fact, Havanese are still pretty rare where I live. Other people haven't found out how lovable and cute this awesome breed is!

I asked where they got the Havanese and all they would tell me was a "local breeder". I told them that this made me sad and that I owned Havanese. Also that I have been a part of a group that was trying to keep Havanese out of the pet stores. I don't think the owner knew what to say.

I must admit that the 2 Havanese they had were absolutely adorable, white with black markings. I petted the one right up against the front of the cage but have no idea whether it was male or female. The one at the back of the cage turned over and stretched out and I could see it was a male. I don't know how long they have been there but they are 11 weeks old today, so at least they aren't too young. I got mine at the age of 9-10 weeks.

If only I was made of money, those 2 would not be in those cages anymore.

:(

Wordless Wednesday: Treat!

Week In Review

I read this blog last weekend and thought that it might be interesting to do. Being the scrapbooker that I am, I thought doing a layout a week could be very interesting! So I started with August 31 since it was a Sunday.

I found a template that I liked from NoReimer Reason and plan to use it every week. I can change up where the pictures are placed so even though every layout will be alike, they will be different.

Here's the layout for the week August 31-September 6, 2008.




I also made a title page for the album since I do plan to print these as 8x8 layouts.



The quote on the title page reads "Photography remembers little things, long after you've forgotten everything." - Aaron Siskind. Of course, I found this in a quote archive on SS!
