I had this amazing view pretty much the whole way into the gym this morning

great start to a Friday 

and to an up coming vacation!

Happy Weekend!!!

found some "stuff"

one persons junk, is another persons treasure

I sure hope so

so I decided to set up and ebay account to list some stuff that is still at my parents house

[my mom also informed me that once we finish our new house it will be time to move ALL my "stuff" out of their house for good]

so it is time to start eliminating

time to try to make a little cash

as of tonight

Nothing has sold or really been viewed

but there are four things up waiting for people to buy!

shall continue to list and hope for the best

oooo and how could I forget that I have a a TUB i believe 10 gal TUB of beanie babies!

sooooo heavy I could not move it into my car on my own, bad thing is most of the beanie babies on line are listed for 0.99....haha and here I thought one day I could make money on them!

The soon to be mud room and 1/2 bath

The basement and the first piece of construction

fun to see the progress

that is so sweet

the first sweet batch of Z bread for the season

the farmers market had 10 cent Z, so I bought enough to make a batch

J gave it a gold star

wondered if it was easy, cause if yes then he though I should make it weekly haha

and a very SWEET group of friends

spent Saturday out in Holland at gwens cottage

we talked, snacked, walked and had dinner

and talked and talked

it was so great to catch up with these ladies for the day

I sure love sweet things!
