Misc. from this week

Cantalopes raised by one of Jeff's coworkers - the same man that gave us last weeks corn - I think I owe him a plate of cookies.

corn and tomatoes from my brother's garden.

a Pyrex bowl my parents found an estate sale

fresh baked pound cake

Jeff bought a crazy-big watermelon. We try to get one every year from a farmer from Rush Springs who sells them out of his pick up truck. It probably weighs close to 40lbs.


A bucket full of Gavin, now at 17 months, and less than a year ago in the same bucket. Boy babies turn into little boys very quick!

Baby Elizabeth is 7 weeks old. She is wearing a onesie with little wooden shoes on it. My friend Heidi in Holland sent it to her along with 3 others, the others have tulips and little tags of windmills.


I've been busy this week with fresh produce, cooking, company and sweet grandchildren.
How about you, what were you busy with this week?

Thrift store finds

This week is Krazy Daze in my town. Most of the businesses have good sales and clear out their old or slow moving merchandise.
Even the thrift stores were clearing out stuff. My parents are here and we went to 3 thrift stores.


2 yards of blue and white flannel $1
bias tape, rick rack, a dress pattern and covered button kits were 10 cents each.

at the first one, baskets and magazines were 10 cents each and buy 1 get 3 free. Krazy huh? I picked out an assortment of both.
At another thrift store, the old Taste of Homes were 5 cents each.

A pyrex 8 inch pie pan and Pyrex tea pot - $5 for both


and the bargain of the month
a very cute needlepoint pillow - just 50 cents!
