More This And That

Work is getting less busy now and a couple days this week I was sent home early! I actually volunteered to leave so some of the younger people that need the money more than me could stay. I don' t mind at all! I've been spoiled with the leisurely summer I've had! 

When I do work until 8 it's dark out and my car is parked right by the river. It's a little bit scary when I get to it because it's beyond the parking lot lights. 


Last week I went to a rummage sale at Catholic Central High School. It's a prestigious all-boy high school that is pretty expensive. I used to go to the rummage sales every year because you could get designer women's clothes for really cheap. 

I hadn't been for quite a few years but I had a free morning so I thought I would drive over and see what I could find. I didn't look at the women's clothing at all. They had a ton of pictures and home decorations and that's what I mostly browsed. 

This picture caught my eye so I bought it to hang in our bedroom. 



And these two pictures also caught my eye and I thought they would look cute in the bathroom. Our bathroom is blue so I painted them blue and put white paint over the blue because it was too bright! 


  



They are hanging in my bathroom now and I'm trying to let them grow on me! So far it's not working! I wish I would have just left them the way they were! 

Anyway, I also bought two little toy airplanes for the boys and spent a total of $4 for everything! I love rummage sales sometimes. I definitely will go back to Catholic Central for the next one. They had lots of pictures and home decor stuff! 

That's about it for now. We babysat the boys last Saturday and we had fun taking selfies! 





Until the next time stay safe and well my friends!

A Little Of This / A little Of That

 At my job there is a river that runs along the side of the property and its a pretty popular place for ducks!  

The cider mill used to sell imperfect donuts and crumbs to customers so they could go and feed them. This year they don't really want the customers to stay on the property so they are not selling the donut crumbs. 

The ducks aren't getting the picture though! Every time anyone walks over toward the river they all come walking out to get some treats! 

Plus I listen to duck drama all day when I'm working! They are so dramatic! 

Last week we took the kids to a home decoration store called At Home. They had fun walking around and especially loved the display of large blow-up lawn decorations! 


I bought these fall leave garlands to put on the deck. 


Driving on the way home we saw this....


That is called Carvana and it is basically a car vending machine! You purchase the car online, go to the dealer and they vend it for you from this machine! It's pretty ingenious I think!

Lastly, Shauna and Brad brought the kids to a different cider mill from where I work. 



They sure were loving the cinnamon sugar donuts! That is until those darn wasps chased them away! 

That's it for me right now! 

Until the next time stay safe and well my friends!

Levi James Turns Two

 Last Sunday, September 27th our little Levi turned 2 years old. 

Shauna and Brad don't like having big birthday parties, especially for one so young! The did it once when Maxwell turned 2 and vowed never again. Too overwhelming for little guys!



So it was just his parents, his brother and us grandparents there to help him celebrate! 


Doesn't take them long to understand presents, that's for sure! He kept saying "present, present" until they finally caved and let him open them! 


He did a good job. Of course his brother helped too! 



Then it was time to sing!




He didn't care much for the singing! 


Even with his brother sitting right next to him singing away! 



He did a good job blowing out the candles though! 

I can't believe he's already 2 years old! 

Goodness, my babies are getting too big!!!

Until the next time stay safe and well!

Phone Photo Dump

 Time for another purge of the photos I collect on my phone!  The boys were playing with kinetic sand and it is a little oily.  Levi left hi...
