Crazy Week, No Field Trip Today

Good morning and come on in.Don't you love these cool mornings? Just right for enjoying a good cup of coffee. Did you find a cup? I love drinking from the redware mugs in the fall. Don't know why, but I do. Its the little things that make me happy. Well we aren't taking a field trip to Debs  today. Like I said this has been a crazy week. Deb has had the kids a couple of days, then I had a cluster of basil cell carcinomas removed from my nose, so no chance to go get pictures. I will soon. I can't wait for you to see all of the changes they have made. Their home was in CS last December, but she has done some changing since. Anyway, after Debs we are going over to Carols. We had lunch together the day after my nose surgery and its an all go, just when I can get it done.
As I said it has been a crazy week, My nose was more involved than I anticipated. I didn't know basil cells had roots. I do now. They had to go deep and then do a skin graft. I look a mess!lol That was the easy part of last week. This was the hardest part for me.

This little munchkin started kindergarten. I had the cutest picture of him on the school steps and it will not download. He looked so cute in his new clothes and his book bag and lunch box. It breaks my heart that he will be gone from us all day every day. I know, that is part of life, but he is my buddy.lol He, on the other hand is ready. It was awesome he says with a big smile, when asked about it.
Andrew started kindergarten and Mollie started Mothers Day Out. Amanda is teaching two days a week there, so she goes with her.

Here she is all decked out for her first day. I think she is the cutest thing ever. Don't you love those pink shoes? She loves shoes already. Makes her mommy, Nonnie, Aunt Beth and I happy.lol (We all have this thing for shoes)
I did take some pictures of the interior of the Hen for you. My friend Lynne is into brick and architecture, so I basically took these for her, but thought you might enjoy them too. This building is old. Was a barber shop for years and I was told the up stairs was Clintons first library. The apartment at the top is so pretty, I could actually move into it myself. I love it. I wish I had asked Clay,the owner, not my grandson in law, if I could have taken pictures before he rented it. Clay and Barbie are a beautiful young couple who have saved a couple of Clintons old buildings. Anyway enjoy.

Isn't this wonderful? I love it too.

This is the floor in the picture above, Sharon calls the textile room.

One of the highlights of this building is the hand painted mural Sue Curtis did a few years ago, when she had a shop in here. It is beautiful and customers enjoy it. I will get a straight on picture next time.

I hope you enjoyed the visit to the Hen. She will be bringing in some new goodies, so if your in the area check it out. Thanks for coming Through My Back Door where life is good.
betty
PS: I will be putting out some fall soon. I just can't wait. Do have one bit out now.
PSS: Clay and Barbie, the building restorers, have a wonderful booth in Corner Antiques. Stop in and see them.
PSSS: Blogger won't let me upload pictures today. Never had that problem before. So hopefully next time. Anyone else having problems? Let me know if you will. I keep getting a message I need to pay for more storage.  It says I have used all of mine and need to pay for more. Also I cannot leave comments on some blogs. So, if I am a usual for you and you haven't heard from me, that is why. I am SO NOT happy with blogger today.
