Sweet Saturdays

Weekends can be busy and go by in a flash.  When the kids were young, our Saturdays were spent going to soccer games, getting groceries, cleaning the house, and running errands.  Now, more often than not, it's just me and the hubby - but that's ok.  It's our turn. 
 
Relaxing at the beach.

We enjoy our Saturdays together.  Sometimes we work in the yard or tackle one of our many home projects (bought a "fixer-upper" a year ago and there are LOTS of things to be fixed-up!).  Sometimes we spend the day garage sale-ing (it's not that we really need anything, we just enjoy finding "deals") or relaxing at the beach.  This past Saturday, we garage-saled our way to Cracker Barrel to meet my sister and brother-in-law for breakfast, checked out a house with our son and his fiance, tracked down and bought an elliptical machine on craigslist, and spent the evening cozied up in the living room watching a movie.  It was a day full of no plans.  We had no where to go and all day to get there.  My favorite kind of day!

Our garage sale purchases for the day: 
  • a white porcelain sink for $25
  • a very nice iron for $3
  • a half-full propane tank for $5 (my sister just spent $40 on a new one)
  • 74 -- yes, seventy-four -- newer title DVDs for a buck apiece!
