Working Weekend

Well The first weekend in February turned out to be a productive one.
Lisa's parents came over to lend a hand and to visit.

Sat morning, we got up and cleaned. Lisa is still recovering from Bronchitis.
When Lisa's parents arrived early afternoon, the work began, for the guys at least.
Josh and Dad started to work on the phone lines, which some were disconnected, some were working, and Dad brought his phone equipment to straighten things out.
All was resolved in no time, they also fixed the garage door openers and now they all work! Then they relaxed until Lisa and mom returned.

Lisa and Mom stopped in at meijer to pick up ingredients for dinner,
then they put together dinner and headed out to do a little shopping.

The first store they stopped by was Salvation army, not very impressive, then to Goodwill, where Lisa picked up a couple of books, a bowl and a stool, which she was lucky to get.

so I saw the stool in the back room, and asked one of the sales associates if it was for sale, she said "no, that is our stool" so I said thank you and went on my business browsing around. Then as I was getting ready to check out, I see the stool sitting by the check out, with a price tag on it! I took hold of the stool and guarded it with my life. Asking the sales associate at the counter, and all the patrons around if any one was purchasing the stool. They all said no, amid the chaos of something being voided out of one of the cash registers, which later was found to be the stool. A man had wanted to the stool, but did not have enough $, so he could not buy it, I picked it up and waited in line and purchased it right then! the stool was mine for the low price of $13! it is a great antique stool with red seat and steps that fold under the stool. then off to TJMaxx and home for Taco Soup! YUM!

On Sunday, Mom helped Lisa with a quilt she has been working on, and Josh and Dad tried to fix the squeak coming from the washer, and they also build some shelves into our "office" closet... so finally we can store things!

Sometime during the week our Meijer had began selling their fixtures so they can make room to remodel. For $5 we were able to pick up a rack for clothes, so Lisa can use that to dry clothes instead of hanging them in the closet as she has been doing.

We felt so accomplished after this weekend!
