Fantabulous Friday…

fan·tab·u·lous/fanˈtabyələs/

Adjective:

Excellent; wonderful.

Another day of being worn out but it was a lot of fun.  My daughter went with me to garage sales.  One thing nice about a larger city is there are so many garage sales.  I have stated before that I love garage sales.  I love meeting the people having them and I enjoy taking the the time to chat with them.  I am very particular about what I buy at a garage sale because I surely don’t need any more knickknacks  or things of that nature.  This morning at the Genealogical garage sale there were literally hundreds of books.  Now that is what I like to find at a sale.  I bought 2 boxes of books, all in mint condition.  At another sale I found 4 Nicolas Sparks hardbacks for 50 cents each.  I had just purchased 3 spools of thread for $2.39 each for my new sewing venture.  Today I found a whole ziplock bag of spools of thread for 50 cents. FUN!!

No eating out today though,  I fixed a sandwich here at home.  Tomorrow I am cooking chicken and fixing noodles with it.

It is very warm here today and starting to get humid.  No rain in sight though and we really do need some.  The tomatoes on my plants are bigger than marbles now, more the size of small plums.  I was talking to my neighbor across the driveway from me and two of her neighbors have planted tomato plants too.  I am hoping we have enough tomatoes for us all.

Have a peaceful weekend. Stay safe and be happy!!

  6. I do love yard sales, as well, especially where I can get good books in condition, cheap! I am a bit envious of your tomatoes. Tomoatoes don't do well in the Arizona heat, (at least I haven't had good luck with them). Have a great weekend. Enjoy your "new" books. Thanks for posting. I always look forward to reading your posts.
