BEHIND THE SCENES VOL.2 PLUS MORE LABOR DAY SALES
It has been a week! Playing catch-up is hard, plus I’m leaving for Palm Springs on Monday, so I need to start packing. Joe and I are “wait to the last minute” packers, so that is why I sometimes don’t have everything I need for an outfit. Today’s post is a mixture of Behind The Scenes Vol.2 and more Labor Day Sales, so grab a cup of coffee, tea, or whatever your favorite beverage is, and join me for a relaxing Saturday. Be sure to scroll to the bottom, where I’ve added a video that will make you smile!
My mom, daughter, and I went to an estate sale. When I told Joe I had gone, he said, “you better not bring any of that junk home with you.” 😆 Lucky for him, I didn’t find anything I needed, but my daughter bought a few things, and my mom got a back scratcher. We spent about $12, so we were not the big spenders for the day.
Later that night, we all went to watch my grandsons play football. The youngest one’s game was a nail-biter and went into overtime. My grandson scored the winning touchdown, and I might have screamed and yelled like a fool. #JETTPRIDE
I took a quick photo of this hand-painted window pane at my mother’s. I love the colors, and it reminds me to stay put and not to wander out of my lane.
And, a photo of these…do you know what these are???
The last behind-the-scenes vol. 2 is a story that might benefit some of you. I was working on my Labor Day Sales; you don’t want to miss the post; I had almost finished the post and decided to double-check that all of the links worked. Every link I clicked on from Nordstorm’s wasn’t working; I would get a “something’s wrong” error. I messaged two blogger friends and asked them if they were having issues; one said no, and the other said her wifi was so bad she couldn’t tell. I cleared my cookies, which didn’t help, then I shut down, which didn’t help either. Then, I called my sister to see if she could bring up the Nordstrom website, but she was on a ZOOM call. I tried my phone and Joe’s computer, and they both wouldn’t bring up the website.
Finally, I asked my daughter what could be the issue, and she said it might be my router. She suggested that I unplug it and let it reboot and see if that would work. Voila! It now worked perfectly!!! I’ve heard of a computer getting caught in a loop, but I had never heard of a router doing that same thing. Remember this little tip if you keep experiencing issues. Hopefully, it will help.
Here is the video I was talking about. This is my son, DIL, and two of their best friends several years ago having a lot of fun singing. This always makes me smile, and I hope it brings you some joy, also.

Hello, Tanya! I used to receive your daily emails and then they just stopped! I’ve been trying to re-subscribe using the old email address and even a new email address but for some reason neither will take. The error message I keep receiving is “invalid email”. That is not correct as I receive many other daily blogposts with no problem. Can you please help? I’d like to sign up for the “Weekly Email” Thank you!
Barbara, I’m not sure what the issue is, but I’ll go in and update your info with this email address.
Loving the new Saturday posts! ♥
As for your “what is it?” photo…those appear to be very old Lucky Charms marshmallows. I wouldn’t recommend eating them. Ha ha!
Love the video! good pick me up for a Saturday morning and love Shania!
Thanks for all the posts and enjoy your trip.

Thanks for sharing the fun video! That is a great song. And the window pane artwork at your moms is beautiful! Sounds like you’ve had a good week. I am a planner, so my clothes would have been decided on several weeks ago. At least both you & Joe are last minute packers. Have a great Labor Day weekend!
Fun video. Cute painted window hanging at your Mom’s house.
Thanks for bringing a smile to our faces.
That video made me laugh! You do such a good job of adding personal tidbits in with all your wonderful fashion selections.
Cherie, they were having such fun that day! It always makes my day. Joe told me that we loved it because they are “ours.” I still thought others would be able to see the joy.
FUN post!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed it!
Love your new Saturday format!! So much fun! I love your personal family stories and news and then you still give us lots of other fashion and self care info too!!! Thanks for all you do!!! Loved the video!! So cute and a real mood booster!!! You have a darling family!!!
