After driving around today, my hands are killing me!  I didn't know running a tiller could do so much to my poor hands!  Oddly enough though, I am looking forward to going out there and tilling more.  Hopefully tomorrow I can get some more work done.

Today we are in because Jacob has Young Marines.  I hit some garage sales this morning.  I had $7 to spend.  The first sale I visited was the best!  EVERYTHING was free.  It was a clothing give away.  I went in and picked out some things.  I picked up 3 suits for the boys, but I am not sure any of the suits will fit any of the boys.  I can always give them away if they don't.  I found a nice heavy coat for Lynsie as well as some sweaters.  I also found a pair of shoes (Nike) for Jacob.  I have a trunk full! 

I also picked up a couple of other goodies at a garage sale or two, but nothing outstanding.  I did live my name and number at one sale for a lady who had 3 bikes for sale ($40 or $30) with helmets. I would love to buy all three for my boys! They were nice looking bikes.

The other day we walking in the pasture looking at the persimmons and pecans. I did not see any pecans but I have TONS of persimmons.  I can not wait to make jelly/jam out of them!  However, word to the wise, do not eat them unless they are ripe.  Your mouth will literally go numb, as will your tongue and throat.  Please don't ask me how I know! Ha Ha!

We visited with my friend yesterday (who happens to be an author as well!!  How cool is that?? She writes science and math books!)  The children had a ball, and she and her husband were so kind to us.  She sent home some goodies with us as well.  Which was  a wonderful blessing!

Well off to surf the web a bit while I am killing time at the library. 

I do have pictures to put up here, but I forgot my receipt so it will probably be NEXT Saturday before I get them up.  I have a whole posting on spending a frugal day--for the pictures.
