Susie-Q&A
• Jun. 6, 2009 - Saturdays Mean...Yard Sales!
I am so thrilled to be back to yard-saling again. I'm not sure why I find it such an enjoyable activity. Probably because I get all the shopping and none of the guilt (or credit card bills). It's just like treasure hunting.
I've prayed before walking up to sales, and found God supplying just what we need! Today I bought seven girls' clothing items for $3.50! Poor Chicken, my front-runner who never has hand-me-downs, has been wanting for clothes--but between last weekend and this, not any more. :) I found a bookcase for the schoolroom (badly needed) for $10 and some new empty 3-ring binders to use for portfolios, for a quarter apiece. I found a Haynes manual on automobile electric systems for .75 for hubby. (Sure don't mind adding to the handyman library!) Found a life vest for Fuzzy, for swimming in the pond. Got a cute basket for holding napkins on the dinner table (a quarter). I even bought a $2 Louisville Slugger bat for the boys. We had a baseball, but no bat. Now we can't find the baseball. But I'm sure it will turn up.
Mopsy went with me on a mama-daughter date, and we had a good time, although she hasn't the stamina of a yard-sale addict like me. She was ready to go to a playground after one neighborhood. She did score a Pretty Pony for fifty cents. I took her to BK for lunch and she played a bit on the playground there.
I almost bought a toddler bed, but it was a bit too pricey for my taste. Meant to go back by and see if it had sold, and if they'd bargain, but once you get home...well, you know how it is. I also meant to do some baking ahead for next week, but only got as far as the homemade ice cream and pancake syrup before supper-time hit. Maybe I can do granola tonight before going to bed.
I just can't wait until next Saturday! Hope the weather's fine! Someday, hubby and I will go on a yard-saling date. :) I'm going to plan one. |
