one dollar. just one.

 Well, this fine afternoon, Evelyn and I had a quick trip to the Amazon store to peruse the dollar bins.  She was in a semi-hurry, as she had to get back to work.  Time flies when you're pawing through junk!  I did find this shirt though:  

(oops, bathroom mirror needs a wiping!)...but one dollar!  

I also found some other things, totaling ten dollars.  Some Target dolls, for a granddaughter's birthday, a package of five pairs of adorable Christmas socks, and a few other fine items.  Evelyn found a bikini, for one dollar.  And, a cute little basket to put flowers in.  

My morning started off with babysitting for three small grandchildren.  We played with kinetic sand and playdough, and I watched them almost break their necks making forts and jumping around.  They are happy kids, and didn't give me a lick of trouble.  We did have a good time.                                             

I brought them some raspberries and Norwegian chocolate, and we had our snack and solved the world's problems.                                                                                                                                                      

Home for long enough to husk and cook six ears of sweet corn, and pan sear some steak in the iron frying pan, with butter and rosemary to finish.  (It was in the freezer, a half price find from Target a few weeks ago...and it was SO GOOD.)

Out the door right after dinner with Miss Char and Miss Cam, they are having a Jane Austen party on Saturday, and needed refreshments.  Aldi, Hobby Lobby, and Target, all just quickly for what they needed.  We're home now, ahh home. 


It's been a DAY.  I stopped and saw Margaret and Wulf, Tennyson, and Blythe too.  I dropped them off a few donuts and some pants I had gotten for Wulf.  I went in to visit for a bit, they are too cute.   

Tomorrow I am going to the pool, then making the birthday cake and cupcakes.  I bought all the chicken, so that's done.  :)

It's almost bed time, and I am ready for bed.  The weather has cooled off here, 72 or so today, with some much needed rain.  Mmmm, very nice, although I do like the heat too.  You all have a good night!
