I normally get groceries at the Commissary but I was already at Wal-Mart and decided to get some stuff. The Cucumbers were $1.18 EACH! WHAT! Are they crazy!?!? So, Tuesday, I bought some tomato and cucumber plants. Since we don’t have time to tend to a garden we decided to just put a few plants in pots. So, I got 2 Better Boy plants, 2 Large Cherry Tomato plants and 2 Cucumber plants. There were already some tiny tomatoes and 1 tiny cucumber. My Papa would be proud that I at least planted a few things! My Papa…the mention of him brings to mind wonderful memories. I’ve talked about him before on my blog but I’m sure as the plants grow and produce you’ll hear more about Papa!
Wednesday…Busy Busy Busy! Larry worked from home today and between emails and such we did errands. I’m still selling stuff on our local internet service. It is really cheap to use and I have sold TONS of stuff on there. Yesterday and today I made 2 sales each day. My father-in-law, Sparky, laughs at me because I’m selling so much stuff “on my computer”. Of course he doesn’t understand all the uses of the internet. A few days ago he said, “You still selling stuff”? I said, “I sure am. I’m in a sellin’ mood and the right price takes it home”. His response? “Well, don’t sell my trailer hitch that’s in your garage”. Guess you had to be there but it was so funny! I told him I was thinkin’ about selling Larry but decided it took me so long to find him, I’d better keep him.
We started laying the wood floor…the last room to lay! Yeaaaaahhhh! Of course we barely got started and hit a snag but none the less, we have started it. Larry is hoping to be off on Friday so we can continue working on it. We only pulled the carpet up in one half of the room and just shifted furniture.
Tonight we picked up a piece of furniture I bought from a lady here in Warrensburg. My step-dad gave me his mother’s china cabinet which I just love. Well I saw for sale on our local sight a Buffet Cabinet. I’ve been wanting one. So I took the drawer from the china cabinet to the ladies house and it matches pretty well. It’s in the garage until we get the floor laid since we are in the process of laying it in the dining room. Once it’s moved I’ll give it some TLC; cover some scratches and brighten it up with a coat of Old English. I’m so excited about it!
Still having issues with my back but the show must go on!
Chat again soon...
