Again, i gained some weight but it still fit pretty good and oh how i LOVE it! :)
i sooooooooooo look forward to my weekends, even if the swapmeet is the only place i go! we really don't do the yard sales too often out here because too many leave the signs up and it's hard to tell which are current. And ALOT of these smaller roads aren't dirt roads, but sandy roads and can get treacherous to drive as we try to find the places. But it was so much FUN going with our friends though!
To end, this morning, i share some of the flowers that are blooming in the sunroom.
Bouganvilla

and Jasmine

They BOTH really need to be planted outside but since we started looking at houses, i chose to keep them indoors all winter. They get such WONDERFUL morning sun in the sunroom, most plants do well there!
i have NO idea what this plant is, we saw it at the swapmeet and thought it was a STUNNER!! Such a PRETTY color!

One last thing before i forget! i found another Blog train . this one is HUGE!
Big HUGS to you! Thank you so much for visiting! i LOVE having you over! :) Have a GREAT day! :)

I don't know how you find those bargains! Just when I think you can't possibly "beat" your last haul, you do!

Pretty flowers in your sunroom!

I don't know what that blooming orange plant is, either, but I know I would like to have it!!!
