Thank You!

Thank you to all those men and women, past and present, who served our country to ensure my freedom!

Sorry!

I got nothin'!

A Treasure!

I got a real treasure at the huge household sale I went to last week. This kids enamel topped table was marked 75 dollars.I couldn't get it out of my mind so I went back on 50% off day and it was still there.

I left a bid of 20 dollars and ended up with it! I love it and I'm sure Jerzie will too. Because of my addiction, I just happen to have a chair that will work with it.

It's in the dining room for now but I'll put it on the deck in the summer.

Getting Ready!

I'm slowly getting ready for winter. There is something to do every free minute I have. I still need to clean the deck and put up 3 more storm windows. The gardens are cleaned out but I have some larger decorations to put away.My freezer is ready. I have bean, potato and vegetable soup plus chili all made up and in single serving containers. Nothing beats coming up from work and sticking a frozen, homemade soup in the microwave. A great warm meal in less than 10 minutes!

Leaves!

I'm always happy when they pick up our leaves. The pressure is off and I don't need to worry about leaves anymore.If I had that blower I wouldn't have to drag tarpfuls from the backyard!
They have it down to a science now. Each worker has his own job to do.

This is the only time my street will see a sidewalk plow.

That's a lot of leaves! It's much easier when the leaves are wet for this job.

Synchronized driving!

Next comes the street sweeper and the leaves are all gone until next year.

Imagination!

2nd Time Around Tuesday!

I went to a huge household sale last week and this is one of my purchases that I'm excited about. Do you have any idea what these are? Would you have actually paid money for these old rusty pieces? Any idea what I'm going to do with them?
These are the old ball half to a hitch you put on your vehicle. It was a third off day so I got them for 4 dollars. I know, most of you think I was robbed but you just need to use your imagination! I'm going to try to find pipe they will screw into (if I can't I'll figure out something else) and use them for hose guards in one of my gardens!
Okay, be honest, would you buy them now?
