Tuesday Treasures and My Son Jesse.....

 Tuesday is probably my favorite day of the week.

Brenda is still on vacation so I decided to go thrifting on my own.

Last week I took Louis Dean with me and he did not even got out of the car except for lunch.

I found a few treasures like these brand new red cushions.

I am wearing a lot of denim now that I cleaned that closet and rediscovered several cool skirts but I needed a pair of boots to complete the look.

Once again - a brand new candle!!

Three holiday red chair covers which will replace the ones Tabitha and Samantha have damaged.

This brand new lamp with shade that was still wrapped in plastic was only $12.

It replaced one that no longer worked and I didn't think it wise to let Louis Dean know about it since he would insist on repairing it which is not a good idea. He used to do a lot of electrical work but that ship has sailed.

My best buy was this Cuisinart air fryer for $8.50.

We have one exactly like this so we will take that one to the ranch and I'll keep this newer one here at home.

I shop Aldi every Tuesday afternoon and the cats are always curious about what's in the bags.

I give them treats from the fridge every day....

a dab of cream cheese or a small piece of shaved ham or sometimes a raw egg.

Jesse was here when I got home and was already opening up the new ceiling fan for our bedroom.

He made short time of it and I was grateful to him for taking the time to do this for me.

My son is so cool!!!

This morning I was coming back to the bedroom after turning my coffee on and heard Tabitha scratching the bed comforter. I yelled, "NO!!!!"

Then I decided to trim her nails since it wasn't her fault I had been putting this off.

We get the biggest kick out her hiding her head when it's time to cut them.

I didn't catch the pic when she looked up and saw me still there and immediately ducked her head again.

Sweet baby girl!!

We are having a gate problem and it's been tough on both of us.

The idea of using an exterior door as a gate was a thought but the opening is five feet wide. so that wouldn't work.

Then he decided to rebuild it and model it after the gate he made on the kitchen side of the house.

I think it was just over a year ago when he did that and he did a fine job of it!

He spent a good amount of time working on it Tuesday afternoon and then this morning he said he couldn't do it and wanted to buy a chain link gate. I have deep feelings about chain link anything and they are not good ones so I researched vinyl gates and was just about to order one when Louis Dean went to check the dimensions again.

He came back and told me he had forgotten that he'd already built it and that he just needed to go to Home Depot for some nuts and bolts and hinges.

I took him to the dentist at 3:00 and then to HD where he bought $60 worth of hardware.

From there I drove to get Subway sandwiches and once I'd parked, Louis Dean said he needed to go back to HD. He had bought bolts that were not long enough!

I went in and got our sandwiches and then back to Home Depot....again.

He didn't return the wrong bolts but spent $25 on more bolts.

Like is always an adventure with Louis Dean and I hope we have many more!
