I think Tuesday is my favorite day of the week!
I loved this signage and have placed it on my front porch.
A new green bag to carry to the girls' hockey games.
Brand new!
AND I found this orange purse to carry to Harrison's games!

Bingo prizes....alas, they hook two cups together with loose zip ties.
As I was reaching up to find the second cup attached the one I wanted and one thing happened after another and I ended up taking out the top shelf of cups!
I was so embarrassed! A sister shopper saw what was happening and tried her best to help me - but it was too late.
I told the employees who came to clean up all the broken cups I was so sorry!
Then I said, "I guess I'll be leaving now!!"
I never found the other cup.....
and when I was checking out, I noticed the checker cut the flimsy tie and I mentioned what had happened. She said, "So that was YOU!! Don't worry, we do it all the time!"
On to the next thrift store!
You know I'm a sucker for candles and can afford the pricier ones when I'm out thrifting.
I scored with this bag of brand new listicks and beauty products......
Three different colors of Christain Dior lipsticks that's pretty expensive if buying it retail.
Two different shades and brand new....retails for $40 or more.
The face creams were a bonus and I paid $15 for all of this.
It's the thrill of the hunt that I love about thrifting.
You never know what you're going to find.
I will be using this pretty thing to hold my makeup brushes....
But for now I'm using it with a bit of fall debris.
More Bingo gifts.
New wine glasses for Louis Dean - unbreakable!!
More Bingo prizes.
These were new in boxes and they all smelled wonderful!
Last week Brenda spied one of these kitty beds in a basket at the thrift store and a lady was quick to say they were in HER buggy. Brenda was simply admiring it and guess what???
She found another one this past Tuesday and it went right in my buggy!
A pumpkin for my front porch - and it won't mold!!
I fell in love with yellow this year and Brenda found two pairs of yellow jeans.
One was size 12 and did not fit.
This one is a size 10 and it FIT!!!
Win! WIN!!
In other news....apparently our house has shifted due to the heat and drought and we had a serious crack in the living room ceiling.
Louis Dean was my Knight in Shining Overalls to the rescue!
The patch goes on pink and dries white.
Hoping the fix works and the ceiling won't fall down,
With these triple digit heat, I have kept the cats in the guest room during the day.
Every morning I make them a bowl of ice water and fix a treat for them.
They follow me right to the guest room and they sleep all day in the cool house.
I open the guest room door when we are in for the night and they roam the house.
They tugged my heart wanting to go out yesterday morning and I caved.
They both loved being outside - so much so that Tabitha stayed out all night.
I've been doing some art this week.....
Shirley comes on Thursday afternoon and we have the best time just sitting and painting and sipping tea while listening to music.
My friend Patricia and I painted together for years and years!
She doesn't live local but we are painting together again long distance style.
The canvas is based in and will feature a water bird on the land spit and fog in the background.
To be continued.....
I based in my second Santa on Thursday night......
and will be wotking on my Pink Santa later tonight.
My first born granddaughter, Faith, sent me a text asking about a Christmas painting.
She and her boyfriend have the cutest two dogs!!
Faith asked AI to make a Christmas pic and this is what I shall paint for her!
I hope to start it next week!
Two years ago I painted each of my three oldest grands - Sam, Faith and Levi - a Christmas painting.
I was so pleased Faith asked me to paint this one for her!!
I woke up Friday morning coughing and had a sore throat and some serious congestion.
I had to cancel our Friday night movie with Ileen and the hockey games on Saturday and Sunday.
It's been a long time since I've been sick and I am grateful for that.
In 13 days and a wakeup we will be leaving for the beach.
I'm so glad I am sick now and not when we are leaving for our trip!
Tomorrow I will be working on Children in the Closet and Chapter 43.
I'm planning to write every day while I am at the beach.
This has been such a long road of writing and it is my goal to finish it before 2027.
I hope and pray I wake up tomorrow morning feeling well......
