Random This and That

On my last post I got a few comments about the feral chickens my son feeds at his house in New Hampshire. People actually dump chickens in the area he lives in! Have you ever heard of such a thing?! Anyway, I'm not sure what he is going to do when the weather turns colder. Knowing my son though, if they are still around, he will definitely make something for them to shelter in. He won't just leave them to the elements. 

I got some bad news a few days ago. The CBD store I work at will be closing at the end of October.

The lease is set to end and the owners have decided not to renew it. It's just not a profitable enough business for them to continue. 

I completely understand. The economy has taken a toll on a lot of small businesses, but this means I am out of a job and have to find another one. It's not urgent but I do like to get out of the house and the extra spending money is nice! 

Something will come up but, in the meantime, it's thrown me into a little bit of depression. Ugh.

Anyway, on to happier things! The boys were over last week and we took them to the park. It was hot and sunny. 

Here they are with Rich taking in a little shade under the play equipment!

I did manage to get to one estate sale. It was in Novi which is an area I seldom go to but happened to be in the area. This is the house. 

It just sold for $356,000 which is pretty cheap for this area but it needed to be completely updated. 

I didn't get a lot of pictures of the inside. It was packed with people and one of the workers kept following me around trying to push merchandise off on me! At least she didn't ask me why I was taking pictures! 

Here's a few interesting things that were for sale. I thought this lamp was very cool. 

Tiffany style lamp with two small owls on the branch and a small bird on top which is kind of hard to see. They wanted $300 for it.  It was pretty dusty and dirty. I would love to see it cleaned up! 

And this.....

Sexy Native American picture for $20! Actually, there were several of these kind of pictures throughout the house. 

This lamp was pretty in a Victorian or bordello kind of way! 

 

I thought this drum set was pretty too! 

I think it's a Christmas decoration. 

This clock was cute for a laundry room. 

 

Oh look..

Another sext Native American picture. Actually, I thought they were beautiful! 

Here's what I bought. This CK black bag. For some reason the lighting makes it look dirty in this picture, but it wasn't. Actually, it's in brand new condition. 

And this pair of earrings. 

Total spent: $6

That's about it for now. Last night we were sitting on our deck watching the hummingbirds at our feeder and I managed to get a film of two of them landing on the feeder at the same time. Since blogger won't let me download a movie for some reason I managed to take this screenshot. 

It's the first time we've had two at the same time. We were pretty excited to see that! Sometimes it's just the little things that can brighten up your day a little!

See you the next time and thanks for stopping by!
