Weekend Fun




Well, Friday we went to have to the echo cardiogram done on Grace. There were no abnormalities seen on the test. So that is definite praise...one less thing to worry about :-)


Then over the weekend we decided to do some shopping for Grace. It's more fun to focus on shopping then on medical concerns. So we hit some estate sales on Saturday. IT WAS SO HOT!!! and of course none of the houses had air conditioning. Nothing like climbing through someones cluttered house with a lot of other people on a hot summer day :-) We did find a couple of things though. We got her a stocking holder (for a Christmas stocking) and an old copy of the Velveteen Rabbit. We also found a good deal on a nice dresser. I love finding old wooden furniture at estate sales. The are always real wood and so much cheaper than the particle board stuff you find today. The dresser wouldn't fit in our little Honda (we didn't even try). So, our very nice Pastor and friend, Dan, will be going out with James tonight to pick it up in his much larger vehicle. So nice to have friends with large vehicles :-)



Then we decided to take advantage of some diaper sales and coupons we had at the grocery store. We filled a cart just with diapers and wipes. The cashier asked us how many children we have..... "None, why??" We figured while we'd build up our stock a little at a time...spread out the expenses.




I think this was the most expensive personal grocery shopping trip I've ever had. (I'm sure I've spent more shopping for Hall Council or RAs during my days in Res Life...but that wasn't my money).




But it was fun seeing how much we saved on the receipt!
