Friday Fragments...Last Day of School

~The third grade awards ceremony is this morning at 9 and then school gets out early today for the summer, or at least until the first week in August since our county's summer is getting cut short this year.  I will try not to dwell on that though.

~I found this hammock on etsy.  I REALLY want this for my shade garden.

~I was at the Home Depot yesterday where I had just loaded down the back of my SUV with two giant bags of potting soil and MORE plants, some for my new front porch planters and some Blackeyed Susans for along the fence in the backyard when I realized I had no flippin' clue where my keys were.  


I had obviously just had them since I unlocked the car but they were no dang where!  I was frantically taking all the plants back out of the car, digging around in the backseat, pretty much on the verge of a major freak out because it was getting dangerously close to pick up time at the elementary school. And apparently I was looking a little like a crazy person because a kind older gentleman offered to take my cart and put it up for me.  When I thanked him profusely and told him my predicament he said, "yeah, I thought you looked like you were having a hard time there" and hightailed it away from me real quick.  


Just before I completely went into full blown panic mode, I opened the driver's side door and there they were, right there on my seat. Then I remembered I put them there for "safekeeping". Duh! Maybe I need to lay off the blonde highlights for awhile.

~We have a new dog.  A shotgun victim who showed up at hour house Sunday night and collapsed in the driveway.  He's not a Dachshund but he is the sweetest thing. We got him vet care and looks like he's going to make it.  I guess he's our "Honorary Dachshund".   When Charlie told his sister about it she replied, "I wouldn't put anything past a redneck with a shotgun".  Ain't it the truth!

~I found the best housekeeping advice on Pinterest this week and just had to share it with y'all... I don't know how I never thought of this myself...  






Happy Friday!

  1. That was a great Home Depot story... from someone that loses their keys once a week.

  2. I always put my keys on the front seat when loading up the back. I have been known, however, to leave the keys in the ignition and the car running while I go in and have a cup of coffee with a friend. THEN panic when I can't find them. THEN offer a prayer of thanksgiving that someone didn't take advantage of my "brain glitch" and steal my car!

  4. My wife left her keys in the tailgate lock when she lifted it. She was digging through everything in the back. Was a while before she closed it and found them.

    Easy on the rednecks with shotguns. We aint all bad.

  5. I have no key for my new car. Its something I have to get use to. As long as I have this thing in my purse or pocket the door opens and the car starts with a push of a button.

  7. Your story of the keys is the story of my LIFE! I spend half my life looking for stuff I just set down a minute ago!

  8. I would just like two trees close enough together for a hammock. Because God forbid, I get a stand that could injure Tony's precious lawn.

    And really? A shotgun? So, so sad.

  9. Love that hammock.

    Here's what I think about cleaning:

  11. The get well card idea is pretty brilliant!

  12. I lose my keys all the time!

    We have been out of school for 2 weeks and 3 days! Already been to the beach and back!

    We got a kitten last night. Our cats turn up missing all the time. But, with snakes in our yard, we want cats!

  13. I always lose my keys in my purse. I'm pretty much always the lady squatting in the parking lot digging and dumping half my purse out. My husband finds it pretty amusing.

    Awww, the poor dog. :( I can't wait to see what he looks like.
