Work, a Quick Post and a Poem

I hate those weeks where I am all consumed with work.   Well I am having one of those weeks.  I am preparing for a corporate visit at my store.  My family and employees hate these visits.  I become a psycho perfectionist, working my fingers to the bone and dreaming about it at night.  My visit is tomorrow , so wish me luck!!

My Mother gave me two treats this past weekend.  The rooster container was my Birthday present.  I was lucky enough to get this beautiful cabinet that no longer "worked" in her house.

I also came across this Fall poem my great grandfather wrote.

Golden Rod

LET us take a while to wander while the golden rod is here, Off across the pasture, yonder, for the Autumn days are near.

Somehow, goldenrod brings nearer happy days that used to be.  And it makes the old paths dearer that you've shared with me.

Hope everyone has a great week!  Bristol

Hi Bristol! First of all, love the poem!! Wonderful!
Thank you for visiting me today! I wish I could get to each person every day, but there just isn't enough time and my back isn't up to sitting in a chair for long. :)

Great treasures!! Love them both!

Best wishes for tomorrow! Good luck! I do the same thing though and turn into a raging OCD Queen!!! Let us know how it went!!

Hello,
Thank you for visiting my blog and your kind words. Happy Birthday, I totally understand how you are feeling with work and good luck, I'm a perfectionist too so I know how draining it can be. Loved your poem!

I hope that your corporatel visit went well. The poem is great, what a wonderful find. Also, the rooster canister is very cute, and the cabinet looks perfect in your house. Lucky you that it didn't work in your mom's house any longer.
