Lets get lost in the Alabama countryside

I was trying to reach a new client in the Limestone area this morning and used mapquest to figure out a shorter back way. Well I needed Mooresville Road and by looking at the map it looked quite complicated. I soon found out that it was. The first street that I was to take had the same name but it was about three streets before the one I was supposed to take. Then I got to a stop light that allowed only one lane of traffic to pass under a railroad, of course with no signs. Then after missing the turn off for Mooresville because it was a rinky dink road I finally found Mooresville. About 9 miles later it quit, jogged, after a while I found that it jogged again. Finally with the help of a policeman I found my way. What a mess. But I know the Alabama countryside much better than before.
My display board from Across the Pond created interest for this client. I was very excited that my hard work paid off in the form of a new client. She wants a designer like on Designer's Challenge on HGTV. I'm her woman!
Our house looks like a calamity of unfinished projects. We have a small retaining wall with the blocks sitting out there until we get the sand base. I still have the dust ruffle on the dining room table. I have to put the polyurethane on the crown molding. The kitchen is a disaster. And I'm blogging. Better do something productive. The day is getting away from me.

I never thought you would get lost in that countryside, but that's the way you learn your way. Well, I've been pretty busy this last couple of weeks. This Saturday is our 30 year reunion. I've been been helping to plan it and this is a big week. I still have to find my outfit. Maybe today. I'm pretty excited about it though.

When I tried to bring your blog up it wouldn't come up. This time it just come up. I don't know what happened.
Better go.
Love ya, Di
