This morning I scrambled to get a
few things done around the house and then put on my “interior decorator”
hat. A friend is getting married
next weekend. It is customary to
decorate the family home prior to the wedding for the many guests and
festivities. I had offered to help
her decorate her mom’s house from 11 - 3 today.
When I arrived at the house with
tools and gear, Nakita and her mom laughed at all the things I had
brought. Nakita asked if I would
be willing to also help decorate her father’s house today. She guesstimated we could be finished
there by 5 p.m. Then we could work
on her Mom’s house which was more complex. Gulp. I had a dozen things I was going to do from 3-7 before I met up with Doc this
evening. “Sure! Lets’ go!” (Sleep is very underrated).

| Decorating at Bride's Father's House |
As we were decorating the first
house we moved sofas and furniture. One penny under the couch. I was granted permission to take that
one. (Coin #1). By the time we left, the house looked
beautiful with all the purple satin swags.
Doc says I am so NOT flexible and
always want things to go according to my plans. As we were driving, Nakita thanked me for being so
flexible. I asked her to share
that thought with Doc - to let him know that he is wrong once again!

| Decorating at Bride's Mother's House |
We next decorated Nakita’s mother’s
house. The challenge -- how to
suspend yards and yards of yellow fabric from the ceiling without showing any
means of support and without any lasting effects to the drywall ceiling.
At 5:40 p.m. I excused myself and
left the other two ladies to finish the detail work. I was not able to take care of some of my planned action
items. I did stop for petrol since
I was running on fumes. While the
fuel was pumping I asked the Penny Angels for a second coin. Found a penny within minutes (Coin #2).
Meanwhile today Doc went for
breakfast, folded some laundry, went to an ATM for cash, and took out the
garbage cans. He found a
dime. (Doc Coin #1)
I arrived home at 7:30, unpacked my
tools and wedding related supplies, hugged the dogs, grabbed Doc and headed out
for the weekly grocery shopping.
Instead of driving back to our former stomping grounds we went to the same
three named stores, but the local ones instead of the ones in the Pomona
area. I found a penny at the first
store and a dime at the second.
(Coins #3&4). At the
third store I looked several times through the checkout area and found
nothing. So I said, “C’mon
Angels, let’s go three-for-three”.
At checkout there was a quarter!
(Coin #5).
The rest of the evening was spent
on the upcoming PP Open House.
Designer Chaz had eleven emails waiting for me to review. I finally gave up at 2 a.m.
I think it is time to start talking
to the Angels about Buyers for the Pomona house. Let’s FIND the right family for that! LOL
Total: 6 Coins P (3), N (0), D (2), Q
(1) = $0.48
