Okay, so I didn't go to the Strawberry Festival. I called Lauren at 7:45, woke her up and she sounded like this ... "Whaddyou want?" ... He,he ... I found out the Strawberry Festival plans were later than I thought, so the kids and I went Garage Sale-ing with Pete. Hilarious!

This one house ... lots of stuff. We stopped because there was a couch. It was infact not so nice. One of the ladies told us there was more inside ... She wasn't kidding! The living room, the kitchen, and two bedrooms .... ONLY GARAGE SALE STUFF! CRAZY! I did make one GRANd find there! An Oster Blender for $2.00. Made sure it worked! Yippee! My big ol' find of the day. They had sooooo much! Too much. Jami and I were overwhelmed! So we quickly left after the blender. Keep in mind people ... too much can be just as bad as too little when it comes to garage sales!

Now imagine ... my Durango with Pete, Myself, my four children and all of the stuff minus the chair in it! Even more fun!!!! Pete went back for the chair later.

OH ... and when we got home there was a funny smell in the house ... so I took the trash out ... forgetting my keys were still in my hand. I felt them fly out as I put the trash in the toter ... NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! So, yep ... Pete and I dug in the trash. We ended up turning it on its side and I had to crawl in and get them ... they were on the very bottom!!!! Naturally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEN ... I went to Shop N Save and filled up my deep freeze for $200!!! I'm very excited!!!!! That's like a month's worth of meals out there!!!! Fabulous!
