I GUESS WE'VE BEEN BUSY

Time flies when you're having fun. I've been concentrating on getting things settled inside, and letting the projects left in the shed, until I finish these projects. We've done a lot of shopping recently and we found two tables for the living room. They had a sale at Ashleys-buy one, get the second one for a dollar. Not only was that a good deal, but they fit the small spaces! Then we went looking for bedside tables and ended up at IKEA, and those prices were good. I've painted them to match the walls, and Don is currently putting them together. (I'm staying out of his way!) We're playing poker later, so that will improve his mood if he needs to. We have a new JoAnn's Fabric store down the street, so I had coupons for 50% off-so, I bought valence fabric for the kitchen and bedroom, so I can get rid of the ugly trailer kind. I'm pleased to say that after not using the sewing machine for 5 1/2 years, I remembered how to thread it-I guess that means there's a little grey matter left! The kitchen window is done and I'll do the bedroom this week. Since I've been watching for deals lately, (it's kind of a game), I had a picture of an Iowa corn field framed with a 60% off coupon. I picked it up in the Amana's-thought I'd need a little bit of home in the living room. I've included all my deals, so Jerry White will be proud of me-I've officially become one of the AZ old folks! The heat hasn't even bothered us-it's dry, you know. It's interesting that this year people seem to be coming back a lot earlier. I guess the weather has been hot and humid everywhere, so they decided it's better here.
