Please know that I am still here!
I have been so busy finishing up orders so I can head for Pennsylvania tomorrow (Thursday).
I want to do some wholesale shopping for some particular items and on Saturday I'm meeting a huge group of gals from PRIM MART community forum - they have their annual convention going on in Harrisburg and on Sat. they are all heading for Lancaster and I'm meeting up with them for a day of shopping...fun huh????
The weather here has been beautiful but now today we woke up to rain!
Yesterday Doug and I spent the day running errands and I also baked a Rhubarb Cake - we finally have some usable Rhubarb from our patch out back...the last few years it has been tiny stalks and the leaves shrivel up before we can even harvest it......and we finally found out that there is a BLACK WALNUT tree about 50 feet away in a neighbors yard and they are poison to Rhubarb, Tomatoes and many different flowers....WHO KNEW!!!!
I will try and keep posting on the blogs while I'm away but probably won't get anything interesting posted here....I haven't even got my dining room back in order yet....WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME! Oh, it's all back in - just not where I want it yet so when it happens I'll take pictures.
I have the cupboards and pie safes in a different arrangement and I'm not sure if I like it so you just may see pictures of THE OLD ARRANGEMENT when I do figure it out - but at least you will see it all with the new floor - which I am still very happy with.
Now I'm thinking I would love it in my kitchen as well.
I sent out an update to the GATHERING OF FRIENDS to those that have responded to me.
If you want to consider joining us there's lots of time left to decide - just got to the link on the right side at the top of my sidebar to go to the post.
Have a great day!

I hope you have a good trip an I can't wait to see what all you get. I saw the rhubarb cake recipe above and I am going to try it. I have never had rhubarb. I am assuming I can buy it. Is it a fruit?
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely trip Karen! Sounds wonderful!~Kathy
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful trip to PA. We have a few wholesale places about an hour from here and I know that they also have a place in Lancaster, PA. If that is where you are going...wow, do they have the prim goodies!! Can't wait to hear all about your trip when you get back.
hugs, Cindy
Sounds like a fun trip to PA. Can't wait to hear about it when you get back. I inherited some rhubarb this year. How long does it keep growing? DH gave a friend some of it and then mowed down most of the rest!
ReplyDeleteTake care and have fun,
Debbie
