Simple Pleasures #12
Thursday is my day to shop at my favorite thrift store because it is senior and military 30% off day.
I do love a bargain and I have found many there. Last week was a dud week and after cruising through the entire store this week I had only found two things.
Just as I was getting ready to check out it started to pour down rain outside. Apparently, the building has a tin roof and the sound was thunderous.
Needless to say, I was not leaving in that, so I decided to go behind the checkout counter and see what they had on the shelves there. I'm so happy that I did because that is where I found some treasures.
Busy is a good thing.
Simple Inspiration

Favorite Gluten-Free Recipe This Week
Cooler nights mean comfort food to me and chicken noodle soup is one of my favorites.

ReplyDeleteI love the painting with the Eastern bluebird. I was fortunate in Texas to have them nest in my birdhouses. Haven't seen one since, but they are gorgeous birds.
