The description on Refresh's web site reads:  "Unique Furniture and Home Decor." When I viewed the sign on the awning and snapped this picture, I honed in on the word “Design”  and consequently did not enter the store. However, whenever I feature a business’s sign,  and if possible, I like to link its sign to the owner’s web page. Having done that, my interest was piqued.   I will need to visit downtown and wander into Refresh and satisfy my curiosity. sharing with Lesley's Signs, Signs

  Important message at the bottom of my dad's 4th war ration book: "When you used your ration, salvage the Tin Cans and Waste Fats. They are needed to make munitions for our  fighting men.   Cooperate with your local Salvage Committee." Having discovered several war ration books  belonging to my parents and even me,  I was able to trace place where we lived when I was a baby.  sharing with Jane's Vintage Weekly #101

The Canonization of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II As a Catholic and, having seen Pope John Paul II in person  in Chicago in October of 1979,  I was excited to experience  the canonization of him and Pope John XXIII,  albeit via TV. My 19 year-old daughter,  a close teacher friend from St. Lawrence Elementary School  and I rode the train to Chicago  to be part of the sea of people congregated in Grant Park.  Pope John Paul II greeted  the worshipers in several different languages.  There upon he celebrated the Mass  with more than 350 bishops from North America.   I think that I surely was not the only person there  who felt the sensation of goose bumps developing on one’s skin.  I felt the same phenomenon  when Pope Francis declared the canonization  of these two beloved popes.
