On Saturday, Cyndee and I hit the garage sales. My find of the day was a complete set of cushions for my old porch furniture for only $5.00!!!! Red plaid is probably not what I would have chosen, but it IS patchwork and at that price, who could resist? I also found some pottery wine goblets. Showing my age, I remember using them in the 70's and how cold they kept the wine. Remember, back then you could legally drink at 18... Apparently, they must have had some nostalgic significance for their previous owner too because he was a little wistful about letting them go. I assured him that they were going to a good home.
We met Ruth and Deb at Sparty's for brunch. Deb had brought her latest creation so we had show and tell in the parking lot. Beautiful quilt! I think it's going to be a graduation present.
After Block Exchange tonight, Ruth and I took the three dogs for a long walk through the neighborhood and observed the different methods of container gardening. Gennie had fun walking with her friends Sadie and Dora and is now 'zonked out' here at my feet. Do we have to go to work tomorrow?
Today Cubby and his mom came over for lunch and we spent some time outside. Here he is scooping poop (not really). I had forgotten how cute they look with their chubby little legs sticking out of their playsuits. It's great to be a grandma. You get to relive all of the things you were too busy, tired, stressed... to notice with your own kids or hadn't thought about in a long, long time.

Your "grandma" comment is oh so true! ...and, yes, Cubby is soooo cute! Your garage sale finds, along with Cindy's, make me almost wish to start going to garage sales --- notice I said "almost"!
