Saturday Link Love

Still making progress on my goals from yesterday.   I visited the local Thrift Stores and accumulated more items to list on eBay.  The up side of that is that most of the items I purchased today have been listed.  I surpassed my goal of listing ten items BUT I did not list any vintage clothes.  It was mostly vintage dinnerware and mugs. 


Here are a few of my favorite links this week.  I hope you enjoy!

• Don't Read This, Its Boring!  Want What You Have  

• So Over This!  Black Friday? Pffft.

• Move to Portugal   Have BIG Goals!

• Financial Samurai  Achieving Financial  Freedom One Income  Slice At A Time

Still lots to do this weekend!  Hope you have a great day today!

 Today, my leg/knee hurts.  I had planned on going to the Fall Festival at Church today..... but maybe not.  It might be more couch time for me today.  Here are some great reads from last week........

Happy Saturday Morning!  It is a cool 55 degrees here in Central Florida and I am loving it!  The humidity is almost zippo and this is going to be a great weekend.  Our grandson spent the night last night and he is a hoot to be sure. 

When he stays the night, I always check on him even after he goes to sleep.  If you look at the picture, you can see his bed is empty.  He is piled up on the floor fast asleep!  I did throw an extra blanket on him to keep him warm. And for the most part he  is on the throw rug.   When I checked this morning, he was back in his bed with the extra blanket and an extra pillow.  I don't know how they all fit in his tiny bed!

Do you see that bright white spot in the lower right hand corner? What the heck is that?  Could be dust,  (do you think it is an ORB of energy ???)  Aaackkk!!  I think I watch way too many ""paranormal" T.V shows on cable!    But seriously... what could it be?


Here are some interesting posts from last week:

Saturday Work and Play

This morning as the sun rises and before the rains come we will be mowing the yard.  It takes two mowers, the riding mower,and the push mower. I love yard work!  When I am out there mowing, I get so much time to think.  It is the best. 


After mowing, I am headed back to Home Depot to return about $50.00 dollars in plants and take that money and get a  couple of truckloads of mulch. 

After the yard work is done we are free to do what we want.  We have several options, watch the John Wayne marathon, go to the movies ( I have gift cards) or just hang out.

Hope you all have a great weekend too!
