Since I has so little time do these things, I jumped all over it and hopped into the shower. We had a great time simply looking around the thrift store and I even found a few good finds. Luck for me it was Thursday, and on Thursday's at the Salvation Army all hanging items are 1/2 off. I ended up with a few things and spent less than $5.00, so I was happy. Afterwards, we went to the dollar store, got some needed items for one of the gals, and finally grabbed a bite to eat at Subway. It was nice to get out for a few hours and have some girl time. I can't wait to do it again.
The other interesting thing today was when my youngest daughter, Mary made the family some early 4th of July marshmallow and fruit kabobs. She loves doing things for others and helping in the kitchen. Figured we had all the stuff and why wait until the 4th to enjoy some of it. They turned our great and she was proud of her work in putting them together in such a nice, orderly fashion. I was proud too.

Finally to end my day, I watched my other daughter Katy play a double header of fast-pitch. She does great, loves the game, and I feel so fortunate I can be there to watch and support her. Her team will be heading to State tournaments, then off to Nationals this season, so I am certain it will be a busy summer. I will keep you posted.

A friend of my parents growing up used to make fruit and marshmallow and those are some of my favorite memories. It's funny how just the smallest things can trigger a great memory. It seems like you had a very busy day but sounded rewarding. Thrift shopping can be a lot of fun because you get to treat yourself to new items at such a cheap price. Also, I always think it's fun to try and come up with a story of where this item came from. My friends and I do that some times and it's interesting to see what kind of information you can create from just a piece of fabric.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed looking at the fast pitch pictures. I played softball for 16 years and there isn't a day I wouldn't trade to go back and continue. I am sending her good thoughts for the rest of the season. Before I forget to mention this, I think it's great that you attend your children's games. I think that's one of my favorite things about playing was having my mom and dad come out to the games, noise-makers and all. Thanks for the glimpse into your life!
