Buying What Delights You

My dahlia bulb called Seattle made it through another season. I will try again with it replanted back in the greenhouse. Last year the deer nibbled it down, so no flower. I also planted two other dahlias Bora Bora and a yellow Gerber Vulcan. Blue sunflower seeds were planted between the asparagus. 

Starting my Women in Art class through the community college. There is a lot of pre-class  documentation you have to wade through before even starting the course. One slide notes when responding to other student posts, "You are not the center of cyberspace." 😄 "Don't flame, or post flame-bait." 

Of note, the majority of the 40 students are women. Not surprising. How do I know that? Our names and icons are displayed in the online roster. 

Changing topic to Buying What Delights You. When I moved mom to assisted living from her mobile home, she had a chandelier in her bedroom. For some reason, I didn't take that lamp and I wasn't able to track down who came to possess it. 

Fast forward to now - I bought not 1 but 2 Opaline chandelier lamps for my bedroom/office. I wanted chandeliers, I adore having them. Not an ad - I bought them from an eBay seller. 

Buying What Delights You can also include experiences. The Mr. and I have agreed on renting a permanent spot at an RV park for the next year. With my retirement mere months in the making, the summer will be spent on the California coast. 

My return to college is Buying What Delights You because I am buying knowledge I wouldn't otherwise possess. Sure, you can self study how art relates to history. Where is the fun in that? My class also includes a trip to a local museum. I am hoping it is the Crocker museum in Sacramento. I haven't been there since it was remodeled. 

Save your sheckels for things that truly delight you!
