Today was a great success! I wasn’t sure it would be with the day starting out as grey and rainy and WINDY as it was, but sure enough, people were out and about, both on foot and in vehicles. So were we! We started out early enough, but unfortunately my family was pretty finished with the process quite early in the game. Garage sale day is one of my favorite town events of the year, so I was pretty disappointed with my group. I finally decided we’d all go home, but I was going to venture back out on foot, on my own.
I was out for an hour or two on my own, and ventured back for lunch. Or I thought I did. Brady ducked out and purchased lunch for us at a nearby fund raising garage sale. Taco salad in a bag is something I never had growing up but really really enjoy now. I’m still feeling somewhat ill, but it comes and goes in waves, and while I felt sick earlier in the day, I felt well enough to eat taco salad for lunch! I even got a donut soon after that.
Dekker had been invited to a birthday party this afternoon, so I dropped him off around 1:00 and continued shopping garage sales for an hour or so. I found a couple of wins for us, along with some duplo that I was keeping an eye out for on my moms behalf. I brought it over to her after buying it, and ending up visiting away the rest of the time before I needed to pick Dekker up. It was a nice way to break up the day and get out of the wind. While there, we made a spontaneous evening plan and I invited them over for a suuuper relaxed hot dog supper. Win for everyone!
The evening has now wound down. My parents on headed home and the kids are in bed. Brady is dealing cards for a game or two of Skipbo. I figured I’d share my haul with you quickly! Roughly, we came out of the day with three books, three busy books, a bag of clothing for the kids, a baby swing to attach under our deck, a birthday gift for Dekker (I’m on the ball with that one!), an elliptical, and a treadmill. So bear with me on the last two. I am NOT a good, loyal exerciser. Nope nope nope. But I’ve wanted to have ONE piece of exercise equipment for a few years now. I feared that I would never ever use it and I would be just like so many other people, selling a barely used ancient piece of equipment that I clearly did not use. But then, I found a nice elliptical for $20. And then a nice treadmill for $20. Sooooo I have both for WAY cheaper than I expected to pay for just one of those things!! Now to see if I use them… 😉
Well, my feet are chilly and my card game awaits. Have a fabulous Saturday, friends, and enjoy your weekend. Hug your moms, or the ladies closest to you <3
