Day Two- One person's trash, another one's treasure

I did pretty well at finishing some of the chores off of my list today. So, Kurt says I can blog!

I must say, one of the things that is good (and maybe I should add it to my list) is thrift shopping. I found some great deals today with my mother-in-law as we headed to a few local shops. It was providential that we hit SALES- half price everything at one place and a bag sale at the other. Not too shabby. We didn't find the egg beater but we found some cute outfits for Katie and Miriam.

I also received a treasure today. A box of books! My mother-in-law had a box stowed away in the basement and wanted to get rid of them. Some off them are real prizes- one that Kurt labeled with his name in grade school, a copy of Uncle Tom's Cabin (that I have been in the midst of reading before this), and a few books of Fairy Tales that were my mother-in-law's when she was young. They're my favorites of the find. I am hoping my librarian connection can help me to mend them and sustain them for Katie's use and that of more little ones God willing.

Ode to Julie

Well, thanks Julie you've got me trying something new and well...we'll see where this goes considering I've got to keep up with my house work in order to keep this up...and well Katie has to nurse at the moment so that's it for trying this out!
