Stormy Weather

This is the first thing I seen when I came up from the basement.

I could not figure out where this black vent thing came from.

After going outside I figured out it was the bbq grill blown to the end of the
deck & blown over. This is the bottom of it.
Everything was next to the brick wall.
Then I seen my van & part of the yard:

Saturday Treasure Hunts

The girls & I have been hunting for treasures.

We spotted this one before we left our road



Here's another treasure



A little town was having a city wide sale...
We did pretty well there.

Some plastic containers & books


Another book, binders & toys for the grandchildren (dd-11 says "hey, I'm still a child")


A big toy for the g'children although Sarah did take this one for a spin
a couple of times.
I guess I should let her take a few more...she did ask the man if he would
take less, which he did. We picked that up for $1.
The g'children are loving these moving, singing stuffed animals &
we have found several.


Some home pretties

Sandals, books, notepads, cd & a dvd that Sarah wanted, it is shrink wrapped brand new & she asked if they would take less...got that for $1 too.





I'm participating in Thrifty Thursday hosted by Leigh @ Tales From Bloggeritaville,
visit her to see her wonderful thrifty finds and a list of all the fellow thrifty gals posts.

These little white flowers on a vine will

be dewberries.

Guess April showers really do bring May flowers.
