Weekend fun

Who loves summer? I do! I do! I woke up this morning with a spring in my step and change in my pockets..well not right when I woke up, but very soon after!  I sprang out of bed, brushed my teeth and hit the road...why did I do this? Because in today's local paper there were 80 yard sales advertised!!! My twin and I hit about 20 of them before 10 this morning and found some amazing treasures.  I found *two crocheted white throw pillows *one antique mirror *one antique oil lantern * an iron hanging basket * a glass sweet tea pitcher * and some cute little white flats... all for under $10!!! Since I am acquiring new things, I must down size to make room.  Tomorrow I will be having my yard sale and it can't come soon enough.  I've priced everything, boxed everything, folded everything and now it is junking up my living room and I keep having little tendencies of getting things off the walls and sticking price stickers on it.  When I finally haul it all out of here I am afraid I won't have anything left.  Well, anything left that I can carry by myself.  


I did want to redecorate though and now would be as good a time as any to say out with the old and in with the new.  At one of the yard sales today I talked up my sale and the lady followed me home to look in it before tomorrow.  Needless to say, I am already $21 richer!!!  My new style is going to be vintage, quirky, old, country style that i am going to create by blending all of my tastes and not conforming to what is stylishly acceptable.  

Switching subjects now, I am saddened to say that the city officials have lost their flippin' minds!  I live in a small residential area that is secluded by trees and nature and this is one of the reasons that I bought the place.  I wanted a house that could be made to feel like a cottage.  A place that has the illusion of woods and seclusion.  Now, three years into my dream house living, big log trucks come in and massacre the secret garden style ambiance,  they destroy my neighbor's yard with their industrial log trucks that are not made for our little dead end street road, and they make a gravel road to the trees right in front of my house.I shouldn't complain but it's sad to see super old trees destroyed in the name of progress.  

Anyway, not gonna let that get me down and ruin my weekend.   Sunday, I will be fishing my first bass tournament since I became a boat owner and I'm pretty excited!  Suntan, fishing, and great friends, how could it not be a fun time?! I just got a new battery for my camera and I'll photo document the excursion and post it.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
