Today is a great Saturday

Today I woke up early and went to some yard sales. Though I did not find a lot, I did meet a very interesting woman. She lives here in Mint Hill. We hit it off and she even asked if we could go to lunch one day. We had many similar likes. It is amazing how much you can find out about someone in a 10 minute yard sale visit. I then was off to meet my dad and mother in law at Wils soccer game. It was a beautiful day and Wil even scored a goal. After the game Greg, Wil and myself went to lunch with Wanda(MIL) and it was great.
After lunch I went to Marshall's and purchased a new bedspread to match my curtains I found at goodwil. When it is all done, I will post a picture. I also went into Hobby lobby where I lucked up on a deal for some cool wooden, ornate scroll looking things that I hung over the windows in my room.
Since then I have enjoyed a quiet afternoon at home. Straightening, surfing the web for my next project, and watching Greg till the garden. I also planned out what all I wanted for him to buy at home depot this afternoon.
I found some really cool gold glittery candle sticks at goodwill this week and I am getting ready to go outside and spray paint them beige. I am looking for ideas for our very old outdated fireplace. If you have any ideas comment me. I am thinking of removing the buck stove and painting the brick. Cross your fingers that Greg will let me.
Tomorrow after church, we are going to our family reunion. We typically only go every 5-6 years. This year my grandmother asked that everyone come. She is getting older and we are going to try to get some pictures with the family. She has 12 grandchildren and I think around 18-20 great grandchildren. I will have to check on that one. I am looking forward to seeing my favorite cousin" Angela". She lives in Raleigh and I am glad that I will be able to see her tomorrow.
hope you all have a wonderful weekend
