One Man's Junk Is Another Man's Treasure

I’m in Ozark for a couple of days for Bargains Galore on 64! Every year, around this time, a ton of people between Ft. Smith and Conway (160 miles) set up yard sales on Highway 64. Only in Arkansas! J Neither my mom nor I had ever participated before, but the nursery is right on Highway 64, and we just couldn't pass up the opportunity to get rid of some “junk”. I came down early this morning to help mom get everything out and organized. Two of my mom’s friends are also set up there so between the four of us there’s enough stuff for people to think it’s worth stopping by. Day one wasn’t too bad- we all made a little money! I don’t know why they have this in August. Do they not know how hot August is in Arkansas! Thank goodness there’s a huge oak tree at the nursery that makes an awesome shade tree. I’m hoping to sell more tomorrow. I’ve decided that nothing’s coming back home with me so any leftover’s are heading to the 25 cent store!

I met my friend, Angie, at the local Dari Delite for dinner tonight. Man did that place bring back some memories. It was the place to be when I was in high school and tonight was the first time I’d been there in over 10 years! The food wasn’t as good as I remember -maybe because I don’t eat the same as I did in high school. It was so good to see and catch up with Angie!

Wednesday, I cut 5 ½ inches off my hair- EEKK! I haven’t had my hair this short in a long time but I’m loving it. It’s so easy to fix and I like easy.

Hope you’re all having a great week! Tomorrow’s Friday- Yipee!

Softball and Friends

I slept in till 11am this morning! I couldn't believe it. That hasn't happened in a long time. I was a tired girl from all the running around I've done in the last couple of weeks.


Mike's softball team had a couple of makeup games yesterday after being rained out on Tuesday. They were undefeated but ended up losing both games last night. I sat with a group of wives/girlfriends and we used the time to visit instead of watching the horrible games! Hopefully the Cobras can bounce back and win on Tuesday. Just one more week and a tournament and then it's a break before Fall ball starts. It's seems like just yesterday that they were getting ready for Spring! This year is flying by!

After the game we all went to Buster's. Here's some pictures from the night:

Today is going to be a lazy day. My mom's birthday is Monday. I told her that I wanted to cook her a birthday dinner so Mike and I are going to go down tomorrow and visit and take her some good food! I'm going to do most of the cooking today so that we can just take it down, throw it in the oven, and enjoy! I can't wait to see her!
