Pillow Talk

Happy Happy Friday to all my friends.  Do you have plans for a wonderful weekend?  Well junkin' was on my list this morning, but woke to a cool, cloudy, rainy day so decided to stay in and just be lazy.  Not too hard for me to do!(lol) Tomorrow there is a small craft fair we will venture out to but there are never prim booths there.  But one can hope that will change and I might pick up a goodie or two.

Today I have a question for you?  Do you HATE to buy bed pillows?  Well the mister and myself had no choice as ours were getting pretty old and worn out.  So with my better half in tow, we went out shopping for comfy pillows.  Yep, he had to come along on this shopping trip, because I did not want to hear complaints if I bought the wrong feeling pillow. 

Now I don't know about you, but I really get attatched to my pillow. Many nights when all is dark and quite, I have layed my head on that pillow , wide awake mind you and cried as I thought of my Daddy when we knew his time was near, and again when he was no longer a daily part of my life.  Many years later as Mother grew older and left me also, my pillow held my head as I cried.  I have communicated with my Maker and poured my heart out to him in the stillness of the night.  He gave me peace in the wee hours of the morning.  That pillow was a welcome sight after many long hours at the hospital awaiting the birth of Darbee Rae,  and held my head as I finally layed  down for a quick nap before going right back to see my grandbaby again. Coming home after many road trips and finally crawling into MY bed, nothing felt better than that pillow.  Oh,, and the dreams that have been dreamed as I slept so soundly on that wonderful soft rectangle form.  Yes, I could go on and on,,, but after a long search,,,, we have new bed pillows.  

I have to admit, they are awesome.  We made a good choice.  Now you  might wonder what I did with  my old pillows.  Usually they are recycled and go on the porch as throws for the furniture out there.  But this time they will be used for something quite different. 

Stuffing!!! Those old pillows  gave me pounds and pounds of stuffing.  Great stuffing.  Just like the old Morning Glory.  The pillows had a coating of something  on them to hold the shape.  I just cut the thin layer of that away, and now I have lots of stuffing.   All I have to do is get busy and put it to use.

So, if you don't already, before you trash an old pillow, check inside.  There may be a treasure of stuffing waiting to be used on all of our prim goodies. 

Well, enjoyed chatting with you today.  Fridays are Mr. P and my date night.  So,,, gota run and get ready for an afternoon out to eat and maybe some shopping.  Sounds like fun, ugh?  Have a wonderful weekend whatever your plans may be, and stay safe.  We will talk again soon.....
