Good Morning Xanga...
We went to Sacramento yesterday with a friend. He had to take some french doors to his sisters house for storage, we have the pick-up you know
After we dropped them off and went and ate we headed for this great place called "Three Women & and Armoire". This is one of the best places to look for antiques at very reasonable prices. I believe they obtain this from estate sales, junk yards and re-finish and sell at amazing prices. I found this wonderful antique solid mahogany curio cabinet that was awesome and $695. Anyplace else you wouldn't be able to touch this from under $2000. No, I didn't bring it home. We still are working on the house and I wanted to be sure it was the right size prior to splurging. I figure if it's not there when I'm ready it wasn't meant to be.
On to the topic of my MIL....she had another chemo session on Friday and all went very well. She saw her Oncologist as well and he indicated from the last blood test that there were less cancer cells in her blood....the chemo is working. Now since I didn't go to the doctor's appointment I cannot say for sure that is what was said. Unfortunately, sometimes the family does not interrupt statements accurately....I will make sure that either my hubby or I attend the next one.
We are getting excited here my nephew (ChattyCat's son) will be arriving late Friday evening and we are both looking forward to seeing him, as well as the rest of the family. I will be on-call starting midnight tonight the 11th on 7x24 so not sure I will be able to leave the house. I have to be 15 minutes within the phone and my laptop in the event I get a page. Generally that means I do not leave the house. We'll see how things go.

I'd love to see what a $695 curio (that's worth more than $2,000) looks like.
any more, it's the time somebody else puts in (adding artistic touches, or refinishing-refurbishing stuff) that one pays for when buying even new furniture.
it sounds like you're gonna have one classy home when you're all finished with it.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Have a fun weekend.
Susie, I am curious about the curio, lol!! I want pics!! I KNOW what great taste both you & Joe have, so I am certain that your home is beautiful, even before the extensive work.....I hope I get to see it someday (oh, and get to play your beautiful Baby Grand, too!!)
I think Ryan is getting a little excited about his trip. He came over yesterday to wash his car, I gave him his flight tickets, he said his Dad called him wanting the info. Tim is off on Friday & we are all going to take him to the airport but 1st we are taking him out to dinner, he may need a drink before he goes....we have never gone out for drinks with him before, although I won't tell you about the time I saw him drunk for the 1st time....never mind he was 23 at the time....better 23 than 15, wouldn't 'cha say??
I hope all of you enjoy your visit with Ry.
I love old things we have a place here called "Annabelle's Attic" and I love just walking through and looking at all the antiques and think about there history. If you get the cabinet you must post a pic. Take care.
