BEFORE AND AFTER

"BEFORE"

"AFTER"

These two chairs were amongst the stuff I brought home from my morning of yard sale-ing ... There is also an ottoman that goes with the chairs, but I think it's too big for this little room.

After I got them home I was afraid I didn't have any place to put them .. but since we really never used the table I decided to replace it with the chairs..I think we'll use the room more now.

This is not a very big room and unfortunately I have to share it with my DH since he paints and there is great light in here for painting ... you can't see his half of the room in these picture.

I'm baby sitting this birdbath for my daughter Jennifer so I thought it would be safer in here then outside with the neighborhood cats.

In my next post you'll read about my "yard sale-ing problem"

LOL

Howdy. So much to say today. First I was trying to e-mail you back about Goodwill in a barrel but was having a problem posting. So please be sure to post your barrel finds. I trust that the prices must be lower if you are fishing out of a barrel to find them. Secondly, I wanted to say a proper hello and thank you for joining me on my blogging journey. I love having the company. I hope that I can entertain you when you stop by or at the very least make you smile. Thanks. Have a great day.

BIRTHDAYS

January, February and March are our "birthday months" ... We have so many birthdays at this time of the year that it makes your head spin ... Although every single one of them is so important, we sometimes just can't celebrate each one like we should .. But we all know we are special and that we are loved by our big family.

There have been all kinds of parties and celebrations, some are big and some may be having pizza at our local pizza place ..but we always have fun.

One of the celebrations that stands out in our family memories is the one where my son-in-law invited about 20 people over for an early brunch since my dauther Jennifer works nights he knew she would be sleeping ... he had us all stand around her bed and outside their big picture window were everyone could look in and she could see everyone outside. ...Well, she woke up to a bunch of "fire crackers" that he lit outside the window... Oh yeah! ...It was not pretty when she jumped up out of a dead sleep ... Saying .."what the hell"!!!! along with a few other words #@%$$#&**##@!!!! .. especially when she raealized that there were 15 people standing around her bed.. she wanted to kill her dear hubby ..but she laughed and has never forgotten her 40th birthday ......So that tells you what kind of a family we have ... there's always something that is good for a laugh ...and it makes for great dinner stories.... So I am saying ....* HAPPY BIRTHDAY* to all of us who will be or has been celebrating a birthday .... I love you all ..and I am blessed. :^)

So that gives you an idea of what kind of a family we are ...

Yard sale weekend

Last Saturday was a city wide yard sale in a near by beach town called Morro Bay ...it's about a 15 minute drive from our town ...I went with two of my daughters, Julie and Jennifer. ..They picked me up at 6:30 am ...we wanted to be the "early birds" so we could get the best "prizes" ..of course everyone else had the same idea ... Tina, our oldest daughter also followed in her car with cousin Pam ... we had to take two cars to have enough room for our treasures ... good thing we did take two cars because they were both 'packed' when we came home ... It was such a fun day. One of the things I bought was a service for 12 set of Spring looking dishes .. but when I put them on my table they just 'didn't work for me' ..so Tina is going to try to sell them at her yard sale next weekend.... You can't win them all.
