“Ollies” is a discount store that if I were to guess, sells items that were overstocked at other box stores. That being the case, it basically sells a little bit of everything.
As our cashier, a friend of my cousin’s said, as we were checking out. “They didn’t tell me about all the heavy rugs we have to lug around.”
Jodi was looking for rugs for a couple of her table setting displays for the Festival of Trees. She and her mom have organized the table settings for the annual fundraiser, each year both have spent countless hours renovating old furniture as the “table setting” theme has been stretched to include any sort of furniture and the various dishware, toys, or any other items they can dream up to include in the theme of the display.
The Festival of Trees is a fundraiser for the local hospice organization, and it always occurs in the month of November. It’s most known for the silent auction on decorated trees.
Our writing group has decorated a tree for several years, and with our leader’s, Kay, passing earlier this year, we are dedicating a tree in her memory. The theme will be cats, as she self-published a book about her experiences with her cat, Sebastian.
One of our members has joked about how early we started talking about the tree.
She doesn’t realize that I am around this almost year-round, as Jodi is constantly dragging home furniture or working on a display or picking out sets of dishes. It’s something that her and her mom talk about almost weekly.
