all in a days work

The weekend of over and it's Monday.   I know I feel about it differently now that I am not going into work.  Those of you who do have to job to go to..I know Monday's are rough...the weekend was great...it's time to go back to the old grind.  WE all live for the weekend.  This is the time to relax , have fun and be with people you like.  Even though I am home everyday...I still look forward to the weekend.    I get lonely at home everyday.   I look forward to Glenn being at home, family coming over or us going somewhere to be with them.  It's just different on the weekend.

Saturday, KT and I did one of our favorite things..went junkin. For those of you who are not familiar . .with this term..it simply means..going to somebody's junkyard, or store or barn and finding treasures!! Let me tell you how this is done.  You have to have the right gear.   For Saturday it was KT in her Hunter boots, had her shorts on cause it was fairly warm,  a pair of work gloves, a tape measure and bottle of water.

We went to Cline's Antiques in Mt. Pleasant.  Mr Cline is a crusty of soul with a long beard and no negotiation skills.  There are at least 4 acres of stuff scattered through out the place.  There are trailers full of old chairs and tables, barns full of cribs, dressors tables. chairs, dressers...I mean stacks of everything from long  ago.   You have to be brave and you have to know what you are looking for to do this.  As I walked by one stack of dressers, something hissed at me.  I move on quickly. 

I did't find what I was looking for.  I did find an old wheelbarrow with the metal front wheel, but when I ask old Mr Cline how much he just said, not for sale we use it somettime.   Really!!  Katie found some old galvenized buckets to use as planters.  So it was a good day.

My new room is coming a long nicely.  The pictures I have posted on here were all taken in one day.  This is what they did all in a days work!!





Have a great week.  LOves and hugs.  Mel
