garage sale

On Saturday I ran up to the kids to retrieve the lil' farmhand. . .

As I pulled into their drive, my senses perked up as a saw the garage sale next door with little kid things on the market.

The medium sized kids next door were begging encouraging me to come peruse their quality merchandise . .. .so I did.

I did my best impersonation of a not so interested granny. .. .as my eagle eyes set upon the multiple sets of wheels.

The wagon. . . had last seen a dusty road. . . and I mentally noted that the car washing brigade would soon be set up back at the farm .. .one or two more vehicles in the lineup would hardly be noticed. . .especially with the mention of grands getting dusty bottoms.

So. . . .

I set my jaw in a firm .. . no nonsense line. . . whittled them down five bucks ..

and gleefully set to packing the vehicles into my vehicle.

A little garage sale shopping . ..
Perfect weather. . .
visiting with the grands. . .
We had a great weekend.
Oh .. .and today .. .is the day my beloved has been anticipating all summer long.
We are experiencing a summer like high pressure ridge in British Columbia.
The temperature is perfect.
The chores are underway, and after they are done .. .
well. . .I'll take some pictures.
Have a wonderful day my friends.

  11. What great finds! just as we were getting ready to pull out to the wedding this weekend I found a bed for Rachel down the street at a sale! Yay! Now she has a lovely white bed, James is in a big boy bed and Baby Cakes has left the crib and moved to the Toddler Bed. He took his first nap in it this afternoon. Imagine our surprise at finding him in his CRIB at the end of naptime. I guess he just couldn't get to sleep in the new bed and figured he better climb back in himself! :) Garage sales are fun when you find something like this!

  13. Now pushing that baby race car driver would make taking a walk a whole lot more fun!

    Enjoy your warm weather!

  14. Yes...grandsons need to learn to start washing cars early. Why, age 10 month is the perfect time to start!

    Good for you for putting the kid to work!
