Another Synagogue Score!

Since the big clean-out at the barn next door, there's been a huge pile of stuff sitting outside. It's been going down very slowly. That's where I found the gallon jars. We walked past the pile yesterday and I noticed a couple of wooden outdoor chairs. We pulled them off the pile and looked them over.  Other than being a little wobbly, they look great. So we brought them home and David tightened all the bolts. I plan to paint them some time, maybe not until spring, and them put them in the back where the old orange bench was. They're much more comfortable than the bench.




Stay tuned. We may find more treasures.

Month Four

Well, a couple of slips on my part this month. I went with Carolyn to Rags to Riches and found a really nice pair of Clark's slip-on shoes, navy blue. I just had to have them. They are very comfortable. Also while I was there, I found a nice light blue Talbot's tencel shirt. I didn't buy it that day, but a few days later, after thinking about it a lot, I went back and got it. I didn't really need either one of them, but at least they were second hand.

Broom Repair

Our old broom, which is now the outdoor broom, has started to fall apart.  The stitching is disintegrating. 





















Using some nylon cord I already had and a yarn sewing needle I was able to pull it back together so we can continue to use it. Ta-da!
