Bargains!!!!

Today was 1/2 off day at Goodwill! I love it because all of the middle Tennessee Goodwills have EVERYTHING 1/2 off! Sometimes I find great deals, and sometimes I don't, but it's always an adventure. Here are a few pictures of my great finds today.




First, look at this stack of books! There are some good ones! A couple of bibles that ar eall marked up. I love these because it gives glimpses into other people's lives. There are several books of quotes and sayings, which I love! I also got a couple of novels for my reading pleasure!





Next I got curtains! At 50 cents a panel I am ecstatic! The blue and red ones will go on my big picture window in my living room. The cream colored ones are for the kitchen and dining room. Aren't they great? I am loving them!







Last is a sheet that has a great color and desgin. I think this may become curtains for my scrap room....I'm not sure yet. I'll have to get back to you on that one!






Well, I better finish making cheescakes for tomorrow and get things picked up before bed.








Adios!

Sixteen Candles!


On my son's birthday cake today! I cannot believe that I am the mother of a 16 year old. A nice, kind, generous, male 16 year old at that! Let me just say that I am so proud of this kid. He has been through much in his young life and he still is so kind and compassionate to others. He can be a typical grouchy teenager, sure, but for the most part he is great.


He is a football player and I must say that he is a good one! I love to watch him play and to cheer him on.He loves everything make....fast cars, sports, video games, you name it. But he also understands the importance of family and how to be a good big brother.


So, Happy Birthday Dave! I hope it's marvelous and that you continue to grow into the amazing young man I know you are!


love mom!
