For being such a tiny town, Lexington has some fantastic garage sales. Some of them are a little on the sketchy side, selling farm equipment, and old tools not used since the 30's. But aside from those, I have found some treasures. Each Saturday I wake up with the anticipation that it's garage sale day, Evan rolls over and goes back to sleep and I am out the door by 8am.
This weekend my great friend Kristine came to visit. She is living in DC and going to grad school. Long ago we went to EFY together and thought we were quite the cool 14 year olds. I wasn't sure she would want to go with me this morning, but she agreed. We picked up my friend Kim and started off.
Our big finds of the day: vintage fabric, frames, baby clothes, an old ladder, handbags, storybooks, a lamp, tennis balls, and a fern. I found a Richard Scarry book, and the old Mother goose book that is still at my parents house. My little papoose is getting quite the collection of books now.
Oh how I love garage sales.

Apparently we're having a boy not a girl.......
Happy Father's Day!
On the streets of NYC yesterday, I was told by a man who claimed he "used to be a nurse" that I was having a boy. Hmmmm. I asked him why and he said that it was definetely a boy since the baby had dropped. I replied that all babies do this, and I am having a girl. As I was walking away he said "it's a boy." Maybe he just doesn't know about sonograms.......
Evan and I have been really enjoying NJ. We're visiting Casey and Ali and it's been such a great needed vacation. We went to the temple yesterday and then did some flea market shopping (my kind of shopping) on canal street and then to little italy. I tried gelato for the first time and it was heaven, I highly recommend it. Papoose definetely liked it.
Tomorrow we have the beach on the agenda- oh hallelujah. Tuesday we'll head back to the sweltering heat of Virginny. When we get a digital camera, we'll of course become tech savvy and then post some pictures- we'll work on that.
Hope everyone has a marvelous week! love A&E and papoose
