Thrifting Treasures

 

So you see the knot in the wood plank on the deck. It jumps out at me. Leads down to the woodchucks, hedgehogs, and racoons under the deck. Good thing I don’t see an eye looking back at me!

Thursday after work I was able to stop by one of my favorite thrift shops. I haven’t been there in months and months! I did find some treasures and a necessity (the pants for our son).

  I paid $3.99 for them. Levi 501s. I just had to growing child put them on and they fit. Only thing is they button up instead of have a zip which I hadn’t noticed. It will be OK. He’ll grow out of them in a couple months anyway!

September is almost over… The best thing about September is it is my son’s birthday this month. He is such a great child. He started middle school and the first week daddy got a call from his English teacher saying he is a joy to have in the class. It doesn’t get any better than that.
He is a big part of our lives. Daddy is assisting with coaching football. Our son is a gentle Ben. He is developing his skills.
I walk with him to the bus stop in the morning. I wish I could be there when he comes home from school.
I am still working at the same place. It is so hard for me in so many ways. In less than two years our house will be paid for. I hope it is all worth it.
We have a family reunion next August in San Francisco. I sure hope we can make the trip happen.
And…..quilting…..my passion! I have focused on the “Many Trips Around The World” quilt all summer. It was a big job setting in all those blocks. I have jumped around with my adult ADD to the Scrappy Bargello and a Heart quilt
