Room in the car, now that was debatable. Took my daughters 4dr small mitisubishi. I had the back seat full of couch cushions for my sister to use on some deck chairs and had tucked in a lap top, my hand saw, my drill, my drill bit and my tool tote, lol. Mother never has tools available. And the back had 3 back packs full of baby books and things for my sons baby due in December, a back pack full of material and lace for my DS to make doll dresses with. I took a gift as always for my DSs and DM and aunts (this time I took the mushrooms from 99c store here. And I put my two small suitcases inside the trunk also. I had my two coolers with drinks on ice and some eatin goodies up front with me and the maps and such. So on the return trip I had the back full of my treasures. This included grids and shutters. Back seat was a rolled up foam mattress I had loaned my mom, the chair and some of the big vases and my tools and the laptop. On the very bottom was the white shutters and the sign. Front was the same setup. Oh I had the bamboo and hickory pieces in the trunks also but had longer pieces in the passanger side of the car by the door. And my suitcases were in the back seat also. And the pillow and blanket that were there both ways. And I had room for soft things if I wanted to put in. I am a crazy girl for sure.

Karen, I love your treasures, esp, that cute pink bunny tureen. I wasn't aware that you had fibro too. I have suffered with it for years, many of which were undigainosed.I think i just spelled that wrong, but it's just brain fog. I once had one dr. tell me "you're back couldn't be hurting right there; the human body isn't built that way" Too bad we aren't built with the ability to transfer our pain to others. He would have found out pretty quickly just how the human body is built. My family was all here yesterday and I was anxious to get some of my dishes arranged(WE ate outside) and before we could get everything ready the men got hungery, and my son came in and said "Mom, I just told everybody to start eating, there was no use letting it get cold" Men around here just think about their stomachs.HA My fibro and my artheritis were both being uncorporative yesterday and I was just about ready to drop by the time the last left, and I haven't been to good today either--matbe I just need some "Retail therapy"-- just one problem, I don't have the motivation for even that today.Maybe tomorrow will be better. Love reading your posts Janet

I tried those last year - (and they were not a cheap version) but with mine, the LED bulbs were were very "blue" and had a cold/bad fluorescent lighting feel to them. My neighbors have old school white Christmas lights in their trees, and the light is so warm and inviting. I am going that route this summer - for me, there is just no comparison in how the light feels. I know it is not green, and I am sorry for that! :)
