Finding treasures

Today the kiddos and I spent the day with my mama and all three of my sisters. We don't get to do that often so it was nice. The noise level was too high at times ( we all seem to talk at the same time plus there were six children.) Monday Samuel decided he needed his own desk for school so he called Grandaddy and asked him to build him a desk. He told Samuel to find one and he would buy it for him. So we went in search for a desk. I love finding treasures at the thrift store and Tuesday we found three. We found a desk, plus this great floor lamp and a porcelain doll. The lamp will be just perfect with new wiring( my Daddy will do this) a little paint and a new globe and shade. For only $5 I think it was a great find! The doll was $4 and Erin thinks it is worth a million dollars. She loves baby dolls. The desk was an old school desk that just needed a little paint. Now all three kids have their very own desk. All those treasures for $19.46.

Reading your post makes me miss my Daddy so much. I had a GREAT one and I know you do too. God has been so good to us.

Sounds like a great day, and it's always gratifying to find such good deals!

It was a good day. It is so wonderful to get to spend the day with my 4 best friends. Have I told you lately how proud I am of you? You are such a good mother and wife. I love you and Dave and my little Swinney's so much!
