OH HAPPY DAY

Look what I discovered at Borders yesterday, Country Home Magazine! Nope you're not seeing things, it's true. I could have done the "happy dance" right then and there. Now the bad news is it comes with a hefty price tag of $12.99, yup you read that correctly. Country Home was one of my favorite magazines and I have missed it dearly. Usually I borrow my magazines from the library or when I do decide to purchase one I look through it before handing over my hand earned money. Not this time, I wanted to be surprised. I wanted to sit in my favorite chair with lemonade in hand (I have become addicted to Newman's Lemonade) and slowly peruse it from cover to cover. Well, the suspense was getting to me so I quickly scanned through it this morning (am not so sure it was worth such a hefty price) the magazine is nice and thick with lots of wonderful photos and decorating ideas. This issue reads "late summer 2010" and on the inside states "watch for the next issue in September". Could Country Home be returning as a quarterly magazine? I guess we will just have to wait and see. For now I say "welcome back old friend "I have missed you and I am sure I'm not alone.

Thank you, Thank you. I know where I will be going before the heat sets in again here in PA.

I keep forgetting to look for this - heard that it was around again. The price is outrageous, and will be worse up here, so I'll have to think about it. I always liked this magazine so I hope that it will be back on a regular basis, and at a better price than 12.95.

I read about this magazine on another blog, now I am going to go track it down. I don't know why I have never, ever even heard about it.
It looks wonderful. Maybe because I always had my nose buried in Country Living. :) It sounds like a good thing to go track down. It is always a good day to need a trip to Borders.
Have a great day.

I didn't know it was coming back. That is a heft price but if it is good then it is money well spent. I'm going today to the bookstore and see if I can find it. Thanks sweetie for the tip.

Have fun lounging with an old friend and your lemonade.
