New Wall Hanging

 

This is now hanging on the wall to the left of my bathroom door where I previously had sconces hanging.  The frame was originally a medium oak, but I painted it a burnt orange to bring out some of the colors.   I love that it has cowboys, horses AND bright colors too!! 

This ceramic flower was a little treat to myself today.  (Under $5.00 and it is more purple than the picture shows.)  It is sitting front and center on the base of the tv.  I also bought a Christmas, Birthday, OR Sister’s Day present for each of my 3 sisters.  Whichever event comes first!! 

I was downtown today for lunch with Debbie.  We went to Gazpacho’s, a great Mexican food place and GREAT margarita’s!!  Plus we had a coupon. Then I went for a stroll down Main Ave.  It was bright, sunny and in the 60’s.  It was so nice to walk around without a jacket on. 

The snow is melting and I can see the rock/herb garden again!  Manley is glad that some snow has melted, as now he can eat the little twigs on the ground again. 

Manley applied for a job today.  Good boy!  He called the owner of EconoLodge (where I use to work) and left a message letting Mike know that he was applying for the front desk agent position.  But, he was asking for a higher hourly rate, as his tail wag is in such high demand!!   And Manley also let Mike know that he is friendly and personable, and even though he has no thumbs, he can still type-- just not as fast as his mom.  Plus,  he is highly qualified for breakfast ‘cleanup’. 

(Remember, Mike and Catherine are good friends of mine and they, especially Mike, LOVE Manley.)

So, hope Manley hears something soon, as he could use the money cuz he might not get paid for picking up pine cones and sticks this year from his mom.  He’ll either be at a real job or will refuse--due to lack of getting paid a decent wage.  Manley does not work for free!! 

So, that’s it on the job front.  Applying and sending resume’s and checking back, but nothing yet.  Will keep you all posted!!
