A very nice weekend

Saturday Beloved and I went yard saling. This is our entertainment. I am not into movie theaters and we do not have cable. So we go look at other folks offerings. Some I admit I resell on ebay but mostly I look for stuff we need or want but refuse to pay retail for.

This weekend we got:
A popcorn popper, the air kind. It worked that evening but did not work last night... not sure what is up with that!
a strawberry shaped red sugar bowl
a corning ware small skillet in the blue I collect
A red and white oven mitt, like new!
And a large tote of books
All for the grand sum of $8

Not a huge haul but the fun was in the picking anyway. Poor Beloved found no new cds for his collection.

Then we went grocery shopping where he used his yard sale money (we each get s set amount each week) to by me a birthday cake and ice cream. I said I could bake a cake just fine but he said no I needed a fancy one.

About 1/2 way home my son called and wanted to know where we were. I said on the way home! Heehee
His brother showed up shortly after we got home and the boys did a dump run while the store bought lasagna baked.

When they got back we spent the afternoon playing games, boggle, 10,000 and uno while we ate lasagna, cake, ice cream and then popcorn.

I was presented with a rose that the cats have been trying to eat ever since, I think I will stick it in a Bible now to save it! I was also given a nice boot magnet with a clip on it.

Sunday was quiet, just Beloved and I and netflix! I did get a load of laundry done and got the kitchen cleaned up but other than that naps and tv took my day. My allergies are acting up so things have to move slow!

Today will be a quiet day at home. I think I will indulge in a day spent reading in between jobs today.

It was indeed a lovely way to spend a weekend!
hugs y'all
