New Acquisition

Our neighborhood held a community garage sale Saturday with preview on Friday evening. Since we had gotten rid of most of our excess before leaving Arizona, we didn't participate in the selling but did do some buying. I bought this bike for $15 and am enjoying riding around the neighborhood and on the recreation trails. I also bought half a dozen books and for the life of me, I can't figure out why I did that since I could get them for free through the library. Duh!

Saturday afternoon I picked up my new sewing maching. Yes, that's right. After 30 years, I've decided I want to sew again. I want to make some window treatments so didn't need any fancy machine. This is just a basic with a dozen different stitches. I went to Joann's Fabrics to buy a spool of thread and a remnant on which to practice. I was shocked when the thread rang up at over $5! The last time I bought thread it was about 75¢.

This afternoon Arne and I moved all of the garage stuff from the living room back into the garage. How nice to have the living room back. Now I can call to have our new sofa and loveseat delivered. They've been holding it for 3 weeks. This is a picture of my desk unit from Scottsdale which will now be Arne's Art Corner.
