4-30-11

7:30pm

It's been a pretty nice day.
We spent a lot of time outside.
This morning we got the mower 
unloaded from the truck then headed
down to the flea market.
The flea market was packed with
people.  Found a couple items
we needed or wanted.
72 cd holder for $1.00
has a price sticker of $9.99 on it.
 Got Tony 2 three packs of
diabetic socks- $5.00 a 3 pack.
I recently priced 1 pair of socks
at Kroger for $5.79.
 
 I got several yards of lace.
2 different kinds of wide lace-
.25 cents a bundle.
Smaller lace on rolls
was .50 cents each.
 Christopher got 13 train magazines
from the 80's.
They guy wanted $5 and I wasn't
too happy with that price.
I ended up paying $3 for all of them.
Then we headed over to
the indoor flea market
because I wanted some "sharpie"
permanent markers.  The lady
used to set up at the outdoor flea
market but has now moved to
the indoor one.
A package of 18 permanent markers- $2.00
A package of 10 Sharpies
at Walgreens cost $10!
 I forgot to add these items
I got yesterday at a yard sale.
I found 2 cans of full paint
in a freebie box.
 
On our way home we were stopped
under an underpass
around CCAD and the Kroger bakery area.
Police on motorcycles blocked off
intersections to allow a HUGE
motorcycle parade, and when
I say that I mean several hundred motorcycles
to the point I put the truck in park
until they all went by.
It was very loud under the underpass
with motorcycles revving their engines
and vibrating the truck.

Once back home daddy couldn't
wait to try out his riding mower.
The yard was cut in no time!
The gray house with red shutters
is where the lady was beat over the 
head with a board this week and made the news.  Still makes us very cautious 
when outside, especially at night
coming home from somewhere.

And of course Jonathan
had to try out the lawn mower.



We didn't let him cut grass just
yet but we let him ride
it down to grandma's house
to practice more grass cutting, lol.
And of course grandpa had
to give it a try. Instead of 2 families
buying two of everything
we each borrow things the other may
have.  Like we share edgers and mowers
and stuff like that.  Cuts down
on the expense of owning 2.


 For an early supper we headed to Taco Bell
with the intentions of going to Menards
after. While at Taco Bell we took 
a gander at Menards parking lot
(right behind Taco Bell)
and instantly decided not to go there.
It was packed and overflowing
into the dirt area almost behind
Taco Bell.  Crazy!!  Wasn't worth
even going there if you had to walk
that far just to get to the front door!
