Yard Sale Treasures

We were on our way to the store when we saw this huge yard sale in our neiborhood so we stopped. They had tons of cool antique stuff. I was in heaven.

I have antique stuff all over my kitchen. Grandma Heaton and I were talking about it the other day and she mentioned that I needed a tractor seat. Then she laughed. Along with the canoe my dad thinks I'm missing. ( My dad thinks my home is like Applebees.) Anyway, guess what I found. I can't wait to tell Grandma that I found one. I just have to figure out where I'm going to put it.

Next I found this cool wheel barrow. I'm going to put it in my flower garden and plant flowers in it.

Then this old ladder. I'm not sure but it too might go in the flower garden. I think I might make it shorter and make it a plant stand. I'm known as the painter of the ward so I think that I might use one of the stain cans from when I stain my deck to hold a plant and hang it on the ladder. I think this would be funny. We'll see.

Answer to Question

Here are 10 trees in 5 rows of 4

Registration Nightmare

I finally got my truck back. Oh, how I have missed it so. It had sat in the garage since Oct until we had $ to fix it. We basically replaced the whole engine.

When you have a new engine you need to break it in and drive it around for a while. My problem is that my registration expired in Feb. So I drove it around carefully. When I took it in for inspection it wouldn't pass. The engine wasn't ready. The shop gave me papers showing that I was working on the registration in case I got pulled over and maybe the cops would understand. As I was taking Dex to Tennis this cop had someone else pulled over and I thought he was busy he wouldn't notice. Yeah, a cop not notice, right. He caught up with me in the parking lot. Turned his little lights on to draw some attention. And he walks up to me and says, "Hey how's it go'en? Do you have an idea why I'm here?" And he asks for my licence and registration. I'm thinking ... to watch tennis? As I start to answer he is calling a tow truck. I give him my spill on what is going on and he tells me that he is going to impound my truck. Did I mention I also have Caebri. I calmly argue with him, just a little, and I asked him what I should do. It's not like I'm just refusing to take care of it. He informs me about a temporary tag you can get. I argue a little more and he cancels the tow truck. And sends me home with a ticket. That day I got my temporary tag and I'm thinking I'm good. Well that Sat we needed to use my truck to haul cement trailers for my dad. As I'm following my dad to get the cement a Sheriff pulls up behind me and I move to the other lane praying that he will pass. He stayed in his lane but stayed back. I got this bad feeling and the next thing I know he is pulling into my lane and turning his little lights on. When he walks up to my truck he says,"Hey how's it go'en? Do you have an idea why I pulled you over?"
He reminds me that my plates have expired and asks for my licence and registration.
Do you see a pattern here?
As I'm picking up my papers that are so conveniently placed next to me on my seat with the ticket I was given 2days ago. I start laughing inside and I half heartily start to apologize for my expired plates and ask if I'm ok if I have a Temp tag?

He's like, You have a temp? Well where is it? I tell him that it is in my back window where I was told to put it. The Sheriff responds with, Your windows are quite dark. He walks around the truck and whips out his long black flash light to look at the tag that he walked right up to. I guess the sun wasn't bright enough. When he comes back he tells me to have a great day and to be careful. Now, how in the heck can cops see those 2" stickers on our plates? I'd think that he would notice the 5"x 12" yellow tag in my back window with big, black, bold numbers before the 2" decal with a red number on my plate. Don't get me wrong I'm glad that they are doing their job but I'm a little upset that he didn't get the memo that I am the exception. lol
I do want to thank Grandma Heaton for letting us use her car. We had it for so long which we didn't intend so we had it cleaned and serviced before we returned it. At times I felt odd when listening to my music and having a quilt, some throw pillows and a couple hangers with yarn crochet displayed in the window. A Kleenex box on each visor. It was funny to watch Dexton's friends freeze as they climb in because they don't know what to do with the pillows.

Question?

If I gave you only 10 apple trees and I asked you to plant them in 5 rows of 4. Could you do it?

I got this from Cindy and Sharon

Breakfast is Served

Dexton came into our room this morning to wake us up. When we got up and came to the kitchen Dexton says "Breakfast is Served",we realized he had cooked eggs and toast for breakfast. I've showed him how to follow recipes and helped him cook stuff before but I didn't think it was enough for him to be able to pull this off. We had no idea he was cooking eggs on the gas stove. When this sank in my stomach flipped. He could have burnt himself or worse. When I asked him how he knew how to cook eggs He said he followed the recipe. I guess I had a blank face because he went and got the book and flipped to the page and sure enough there was a recipe for scrambled eggs. Shows how much I cook. He did such a good job. Eggs are hard to cook. I know! It just shows that he is getting older. Ah man, that means so am . . . . wait no, is DOUG! Dex you are awesome and I luv ya! Luv MOM

Caebri Baby, Por qué estás llorando?

Caebri baby, why are you crying?

Ok. So, I had Caebri today and she was a ton of fun. We played dolls and we danced. But when I put her down to warm up a bottle this was her reaction. She looked at me like " What the ... " and she just SCREAMED! You should have seen the face she gave me. WOW! I gave her a biter biscuit and she forgave me. I still luv her. She stilll is cute as ever, even if she is spoiled.
