A Three Dollar Day

Yesterday morning on my way to work, I saw a sign.

No, not one of THOSE signs, a Garage Sale sign.

So, I decided to circle the block and visit it.

After all, I need more stuff. Especially the 

kind of stuff you find at Garage Sales.

It was not a huge sale, but there were some nice things.

As I drove up, a lady was loading a nice little table.

I imagined it was cheap, and wished I had arrived a bit sooner.

So, all I ended up with was this little white thingy:

It had a white candle inside and a .75c sticker on it.


By the end of the day, after work, the candle looked like this:

I haven't cleaned it yet. See:

And I couldn't pass this up for a quarter:

Of course, I'll paint it white.

I would've sprayed a bunch of things today, 

but it is very windy - not good for spray painting.

So, off to work I went - Hi Ho, Hi Ho!

After work, I had plans to go bowling. 
Yes BOWLING.

My cousin was here from Dallas, and my

aunt thought it would be fun to go out

for burgers and bowling.

I've bowled 3 times in my life.

Suffice it to say I am not good.

Let's leave it at that.

But I'm usually up for something new!

On the way, to my aunt's house,
 I stopped by the new thrift store near my work. 
I bought this for two bucks:

See the little green sticker?

It's a wee bit shabby and rickety.

I guess I like things like that.

It had at one time been hung by this cord:

But it apparently failed.

Good thing the little mirror didn't break!

It has a certain amount of charm, 

like the way the glass is cut to follow the shape,

And some "character" that made the guy

who sold it to me apologize. 

I told him it didn't bother me. 

I didn't tell him I liked it that way.

It does have one fairly major flaw, though:

I wonder how it happened? 

At first I thought I'd just paint it white

and call it "character."

But, I'm kinda liking the dark wood for my living room...

Three things. All in all, not a bad $3 day!

Word for the Day:

Matthew 18:20
For where two or three come together 

in my name, there am I with them.”

May you ALWAYS know He is always with you.
