....and summering on! I've now burned up the second week of my summer break. There was July 4th last weekend with all of it's festivities, a cookout at Mom & Dad's with Gracie, David and Thomas, rained out fireworks, and David leaving for California early (I mean 5AM early) to fly back....Gracie worked, I cleaned, online classes continue for Thomas. I did get a few books read. I'm loving the Laura Child's series about Tea Shop mysteries. It's light, it's predictable, and the plus....it has recipes.

| NEW Columbia Jacket with zip out lining for $12 |

| Little Bee's soft snow suit |
Yesterday found Gracie and I at Goodwill...three of them in fact along with a side trip to Salvation Army. You know the economy is tough when even the thrift stores have raised prices, and noticeably so...Our persarverance paid off! Gracie got things to complete her bedroom as well as bathroom. We got so many deals! I got a baby blue Columbia winter coat in pristine condition for $12!! Retail, over $100, and I was able to find Little Bee the softest pink "snow suit" for this winter. I especially like that it doesn't have defined legs to contend with...a fussy, wiggly baby and a 3 inch leg hole shouldn't exist in the same area! This one is more like a saque with an opening for the car seat. I think it will do nicely...and for less than $5...makes me smile:) Gracie scored DOWN bedding for her bed at a steal, so despite being tired, it was a productive day and we got to spend time together. We finished off the day with pancakes from Cracker Barrel..as the old song goes..."it is well with my soul" I don't know what "it" is, but Cracker Barrel has captured something that everyone seems to desire. It's comfort food and childhood all rolled into one....love it! I'll be back later to post about keeping calm as it seems I've got the "summering on" part down pat!
