There is so much building and construction going on in our area that it is difficult to imagine that there is an unemployment problem or housing downturn. The county is widening roads and adding another freeway offramp. Cleveland Clinic, the huge and famous medical facility, is building a large new complex near us. The local community college just built a new multistory annex nearby. A new shopping center just opened up and new houses are being built. It must mean something. Unfortuneately, more woods are being decimated.
We attended a large swap meet last month. It was a beautiful day and the meet had many vendors and many, many shoppers, but we were pretty unlucky in finding anything exciting. It was a fun day anyway looking at stuff and people watching.
Thanks again for all the well wishes for John. He came through the 2nd kidney operation on last Thursday just fine and is feeling almost back to normal. He is very mobile, climbing stairs again and being his old sassy self.
Have you noticed the renewed interest in signs lately?
It seems as though they are everywhere.
And they seem to focus on feelings.
Could it be that when things are globally disheartening, we realize what is really important?
Hi Ginny - I found your blog this morning - forget through where, but I was "shopping" for a little pump-me-up to get me started on a creative Sunday - and you did it! And, to find, you're also a person who loves red as much as I do. Thanks for the jump start!
I agree, signs are huge right now, and I'm lovin' the uniqueness of them.
Will be back to visit...enjoy your Sunday!
