  • THIS AND THAT

    It's another windy Spring Saturday here in  West Texas.

    Thursday I spent the day in Lubbock looking for an inexpensive folding lounge chair to sunbathe in so I don't lose my Cancun color. I had a perfectly  good one that got left behind when we moved from Arkansas.... Apparently they are only available close to the beach because after checking online and at Family Dollar, Dollar General, WalMart, KMart, Sears, Ace Hardware, Target, World Market, Home Depot, Lowes and all the local thrift stores I came up empty handed. Finally in desperation I paid about twice what I wanted to for a stackable lounge chair at Target. On a happier note I was able to find some different kinds of succulents to finish up my arid garden out by the mailbox.

    My Succulent Garden

    Friday it was calm, for this part of the world and I had every intention of trying out my new chair, but started cleaning and never found an extra 30 minutes to lay in the sun. Wonder how many calories you burn mopping, dusting, vacuuming and changing sheets...  We spent the evening as usual with hubby's folks. I made the mistake of eating an all fried supper after months of eating healthy. Won't be doing that again... lets just say I'm thankful for indoor plumbing in the middle of the night.

    Today I slept in then spent the rest of the morning garage-saling. Found good buys on several things for the soon to be patio:  an old shallow wheelbarrow to use for a planter and a couple of ice cream parlor style chairs with wicker seats that match my existing patio table nicely. Hubby and his Dad worked on the soon-to-be garage slab all morning, but I didn't make them fried pies today. It will be a very long time before I want to smell grease again.

  • This is probably going to sound gloating, but my daughters  found those "banana" loungers at our Walmart for $3.00 (yes, that is three dollars)!!!!!!!!!!!!  Only the blue ones - not the aqua or pink or red.  So all of us now have blue banana loungers!  I didn't even know they made those anymore!

    Your patio chairs sound cute - I wish I could find some!!

    Have a blessed remainder of the weekend!

  • @pettybunch - Darn! Blue is exactly what I wanted too....

  • check my site

  • What? Garage sale-ing? Right here in the same town as your F.S.I.L and you didn't call me? Hmmm. 

     Did you have a good time at our game night friday?

  • @texasmelody - Honestly I still felt so yuck after being up most of the night getting rid of my greasy supper, the thought never occurred to me. I only went to 2 close to my house anyway. (The first one was junk that should have been at the dump instead of for sale, and the second one is where I found my bargains.) Hubby is pouring cement next Saturday morning, maybe we should make a garage sale-ing date!

    As for game night, I almost always enjoy playing games.... But in all honesty I would have rather continued the card game. Maybe when we get our construction finished we can reinstate girls game day at my house.

  • Next saturday I will be on my Walk To Emmaus. But maybe the next one we can.

  • If you had waited about a month you would have been able to find a cheapy chair...they don't put them out until time for the swimming pools to open

  • @salongurl - Then you can bring me a blue one when you come in July
