Bargain!

Over the last few years, my husband has bought me each piece of Brighton luggage, in the red. I love it!! Recently (in the last year or so), they came out with an additional piece of luggage...a large suitcase. I wanted it, but just could not see paying the price of $550 for it!! Last week, I found one on E-bay that had no minimum bid on it....I will just say I got it for a "steal"! And, yes, it is real...not an imitation!
I am soooo happy about my bargain! And, I bought it with my own money! (I feel like a kid again.) :) On top of my other property duties, Charlus has bought me 4 pop & snack machines that I stock, and I get to keep the profit....so I bought the new piece of Brighton luggage with some of my "Pop & Snack Machine Profit Stash". :)
The new piece of luggage is the large suitcase on the right, in the back. Sorry for "bragging" I am just so happy about my Brighton bargain!!! :)
Can't wait to use it on our trip to Texas on Thursday! Now, if the weather will just cooperate...it's not looking too good...blizzard like conditions and our flight is to leave at 6:30 on Thursday AM....guess we'll get to spend some quality time in the airport. :)

A Suprise from my Hubby....

My husband had a suprise for me, yesterday. This is our last name "written" with pictures taken around the Wichita area. I love it!! A lady in the area does these, he saw them and had one made for us. I'm not sure where I'm going to hang it, yet...so it's just sitting on one of our couches for now. :)

Nap Time

Who says dog's don't snore?



Lily snores, and snores loud! This is very common during nap time & night time. Some times she wakes us up snoring. The video is pretty dark (didn't want to turn the light on in the office & wake her!) :) but it was too cute not to share! :)

Extra, Extra...Read All About It....

Exactly where Charlus likes his articles...."front page & top of the fold". I think he has a few "fans" down at the newspaper office that make sure he gets his "preferred spot". ;)

Celebration!

Recently, Charlus celebrated his 20 year anniversary at his Kingman Farm Bureau office. His actual anniversary date was yesterday, November 1st, but I threw a little early celebration for him. It was so nice! About 100 folks came out to congratulate him. Here's a few pictures from the "shin-dig"....I'll post the article they wrote about him in our local paper, in a few days. (This was about 4 days after his rotator cuff surgery, so that's what the sling is he is wearing. I wouldn't have planned it that way...but this was already planned when his accident happened.)

This was the invitation...and I also ran ads in the local paper for two weeks before.



This is Charlus' office staff (minus a part-time employee, Gerald P)
L to R: Tammy B, Jodie W, and Donna G


Charlus & Diane -- Diane was one of his very good employees...she retired this past year to stay home and be "Grandma". :)


Charlus & John P. John was a Farm Bureau agent many, many years ago -- he is 92 yrs old now. He loves to come in the office every week and just check on things. :) The sign on John's coat says "I have been insured with Farm Bureau Insurance for 62 years." :)


Charlus & Corine E. Corine made him a yummy chocolate sheet cake (one of his favorites).


Charlus & Wanda K. Charlus is on the board of the local Chamber of Commerce...Wanda is the director. A really nice lady, and good friend to Charlus & I.


Charlus and the table...before I had all the treats and finger foods out... :)


Charlus & Betty. Betty has cleaned his office for MANY years!
