Cafe Haven...


Yesterday Val and I had a lovely day out in town.  We met at a little coffee shop called Cafe Haven.  It seems to have been built in what used to be an old bank - there is even a little private room for small groups to gather with coffee, that is in the old vault!!!!








After a long relaxing coffee/ breakfast we headed to the thrift store for a few (lol) bargains......then we struggled back to the car with them all (hahahaha) before heading to Michaels with our coupons for the week!!  Sadly neither of us really found much in Michaels that we wanted - so we headed to Homesense for a stroll round too....

All in all it was a lovely day - we managed to pass over 4 hours just chatting and strolling around the stores :)  

Thanks Val for the great company again - AND for yet again helping me with all my thrift store shopping ;)  


You dump - we pump!


Yesterday we had our septic sucked out 

lovely ;)

Sam likes to watch the truck with the big hose.

Aquarium


Abigail made this 'aquarium' that hangs above her bed from the ceiling - it has starfish, fish, eels and turtles hanging from it.  I think it also has coral.

Going green...


We had sigh winds and heavy rain all night last night.  Lots of LOVELY rain :)  It has really helped green things up in just one night - and the trees are starting to come out in leaves now finally - all it took was a little rain!!  They did promise us more rain showers through the day today - and as you can see from the above picture - which I took a few minutes ago, there are rain clouds around - but we haven't had any rain since it stopped early this morning.

The pond is going down instead of filling up - we need MORE rain :(


Friday Fill-ins!!

And...here we go!

1. Where are my rain showers today? It all seems to have dried up!!  
2. If wishes were horses Abby would be making wishes ALL day because she really really wants horses!!
3. I'd like to see a certain someone right now.
4. When I was a teen, I thought I was fat - now when I look at pictures of me back then I think I could kill for that body ;)
5. One of my mother's favorite sayings was be back before it gets dark.
6. I'd have a hard time doing without my kids - they're pretty wonderful.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching a movie by the fire, tomorrow my plans include running errands with Lloyd and Sunday, I want to see what the day brings.
