Longest yard sale (I told ya I'd post more)

More on the longest yard sale.

These little vintage pixie elves have been something I have been wanting, so glad to have found them.  Notice? the little doggie pin?  He is a signed by Gerry pin and the little rudolph rhinestone pin is just simply cute. LOL

This section was a lady who is an artist, paintings, as well as a doll maker.  

These antique pictures are seen quite often in antique stores , the price was only 12.00 for the pair.We covered quite a bit of territory in the 3 days of the longest yard sale.  On the Lookout Mtn. side we met a couple from below Birmingham had a wonderful time with them for lunch.  We

ate at Pat's Diner, I'm tellin ya, it was a fantastic burger, fries and oh  yeah, sweet tea.  We separated from the couple, however, we kept meeting up with them later.  You can meet some wonderful folks while enjoying the hunt.  I'm so glad I spent my vacation days on the hunt.  It gave me several things that I totally was searching for and some I'm just so glad to have.

Tater Rags

Take a look at what we had tonight.

It is some hash browns with onions added, browned to a crisp golden perfection and of course tender. 

After browning you have to top with mozzarella cheese and bake brown the cheese.

Toppings for this delicious set are cooked bacon, red onions,  fresh tomatoes from the garden, and ranch dressing. yummy good folks

here they are getting ready for the oven
At this point we have the cheese, bacon and onions

Right here, well as you see not a good photo.  Here the tater rags are finished and smothered in ranch dressing and fresh tomatoes.Folks, this is oh so yummy.

If you go to the longest yard sale for three straight days, you'll have enough junking to last till the next year.  Start now and make your plans for 2010.
Almost bought these lamps  $ 18.00

Ok, vacation is over, and back to the grind.  We enjoyed our family reunion greatly and appreciate all the efforts that went into it.  We were glad to see everyone.  Thanks to all those that worked so hard to make the reunion a wonderful time.  We appreciate everyone of you.

Last thing before going back to work.  Gab got a bath.

A fun mail win for me

Thank you Amber for such a win.  I had forgotten there was gonna be some goodies in the tote.  What a grand surprise.   I am so totally happy.  Amber sent the quilt top and fabrics to match.  This will be made for my couch.  Gabby will probably be caught laying on it.Amber, thank you so very much.

peony pretty

When the peonies bloom you can expect the pouring rains.  Well it is just how it happens for me every year.  Why is that?  Wait all year for the pretty blooms so they are not up to par.

How bout how old Addie looks?

Wow, amazing little girl.  I just love her.

He's the lily of the valley

I'm so glad I picked them, do you know how fragrant these are?  No wonder many brides want them in the bouquet.  They are turning brown now, so I am savoring the look and the smell.

Tiny little bell flowers. Oh so cute.  I can once again say,  I saw God today.
