One bid to buy, now two.......

Hello, my loved ones!
Did everyone have a good weekend? We finally got a break in the weather, and actually got to see some SUNSHINE!!!! YEAH!! I don't know about you, but the sunshine directly relates to my moods! A day or two is about all I can take without becoming a royal horses patoot! When the clouds roll in, I want to bake, and sleep, but after just a couple of days, I'm ready to bring back the sun!
My honey, B, and I LOVE to go to auctions. Almost everything in my house is from an auction or a flea market, or a garage sale. I just love to find a good ole' bargain! Now, in case you didn't know, B is back living at the farm, taking care of his parents. His dad is 92 yrs. old, and is in poor health. Not so terribly bad PHYSICALLY, but his mind is slipping away now, and is so confused alot of the time. His mom is 79 yrs old, and is mentally still pretty sharp, but has declined quickly in the last 3 yrs or so as far as her physical health. So you see the problem here..........they both require much help and attention, and neither is much help to the other. So my precious B takes care of them, which means he doesn't get to get out near as much anymore. But if the folks are having a "good" day, we try to go to the auctions as much as possible. Now keep in mind, he has a 7 day a week job. Weekends, holidays, all of them. So when he gets the chance to get away from work or the house, WE GO.
So Saturday after work, we went to an auction and spent most of the day. Found some good deals, some antique furniture for my bedroom, a wood toy chest for J, (which will have to be painted to match his Nascar theme in his bedroom here at Gammo's house), and a realy cool clock for B that tells the time for anywhere in the world. (He collects clocks). Then to Pizza Hut for supper. Then, this morning, after work, we went to check out another auction, but didn't find anything we wanted to stick around for, so we went to the fairgrounds to the flea market. FUN!!! We came away with several bags of goodies, and some old John Wayne movies on VHS for his dad to watch. Then we went to eat my favorite..........MEXICAN for an early supper, and then to Target to check on a digital camera that is on sale, (didn't get it, think I can do better), and then to Wal-Mart for groceries. Poor B was whooped by then, and just sat on one of their benches while I shopped. That is, until we got to the "Cooter" dept. THEN Grandpa was in the mood again! LOL He just loves to spoil that baby. I don't know who's gonna be the hardest to "raise". But we have fun at it, and I thank God every single day that B is so in love with both H and J. Having him to share in my joy just doubles the fun. So that's it, folks. My big, exciting weekend is over far too soon. The GOOD stress is that tomorrow morning, I get to start another splendid week with my little Cooter-bug. CAN'T WAIT!!! I hope you all have a blessed week, and thank you for spending time with me here. God Bless You All.............

I never get enough of my little love bug!
If there must be strife, let it be in MY day, that this child may know peace.
