Thrifty Thursday

It is time for another episode of

"Thrifty Thursday"

Today we will dream of a day, a day a long long time ago, when Jerri had a guestroom.

A room that was always neat and tidy.

A room that was filled with grandmother memories.

Handkerchiefs and costume jewelry, so beautifully displayed on her dresser.

This cute little trinket dish empty, so guest could read the words.

Guest you are welcome here

Be at your ease

Get up when you are ready

Go to bed when you please

We are happy to share

such as we've got

The leaks in the roof

the soup in the pot

You don't have to thank us

Nor laugh at our jokes

Sit deep and come often

you're just one of the folks.

Yes, there was a time when there was a guestroom.

Filled to the rim with memories and "Thrifty Finds".

I keep adding to the items that will one day fill the room, until then

they are packed away.

Join us next week when a guest arrives and I have to show him the door.

I might be able to squeeze you in a closet somewhere.
