Dooley's in Fredericksburg


This is one of my top three favorite stores. (one of the others is the gift shop at Mount Vernon) This is an old fashion five and dime store with creaky wooden floors. They have things like the stores did when I was little. It even smells like the stores did when I was a little kid. Lydia bought me a dollars worth of buttons for my birthday. I will hate to cut them off the card and use them..........some special way will come along to use them, I'm sure.

Ooooh, buttons are nice...I like the mother-of-pearl kind. And Lydia looks so cute sporting her new bag.

I didn't get any cake, but I got to shop in my favorite town with my favorite people! I got to choose where we ate and I had some Blue Bell ice cream!

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   "Who are the men who are most discontented?  but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything."   (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper.   How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...

My Favorite Child
