More bargains & a roadrunner visits!

Well, Coco survived the vet and all we have to do this week, yet, is see my doctor, for my bloodwork results. hopefully my cholestoral is lowered! it wasn't bad, but the doctor would be happier if it gets to about 100. i think that is asking ALOT but hopefully it has lowered some! :)
Ready for more bargain shopping with me? Good, cause i think i saw some goodies, this way!! hehe
i got this BEAUTY, at an estate sale. i want to ask our swapmeet vendor (gem guy) if he knows what it is. i just thought it was so PRETTY!
five dollar ring
of course, we got MORE books! lol

i hope we go to another estate sale this weekend, the last couple we made it to, were really lousy! i would have called them garage sales and NOT estate! lol
i do have a few photos i hope you enjoy, with my DH and a roadrunner who has been visiting him lately!
This little fellow just came RIGHT up to my DH!!! it was funny, cause then i heard John tell it to wait and he will be right back! lol Doesn't that bird wait for him!?!! YEP and for a treat, John gives it small meatballs of raw hamburger!

Oh Shirley, we sometimes get a roadrunner, too, but I have never managed to get a picture of one. How exciting! I put hamburger out too! We get some Gambel Quail sometimes, too, but nothing beats seeing a roadrunner. I LOVE them!!!

I have to chuckle at YET ANOTHER PURSE!!! How come you have all these pretty ones and I always end up with just one or two ugly purses where nothing fits in them right? LOL...

I love all yr treasures, O Bargain Queen!!!

Hi Shirley,

Thank you for visiting my blog - it was sure nice to be able to blog from my ipod touch... I did not know I could do that! We ARE having a wonderful time and I'm only having an internet connection for a day... but wanted you to know that I appreciate you so much for coming to visit.

Woo hoo Girl, you have some amazing bargains there. ALL lovely buys. The ring is an interesting color.

I've never seen a roadrunner in real life, so thats wonderful you shared.

Hope you get your cholesterol under control - its hard, isn't it?

I'll come visit again when I get a connection.

Love ya,
Barb

Oh girl you find the most unusual things..lol love the change purse..the ring is beautiful..I bet it's old because of the color..or its one of those pink stone rings that were so popular in the late 80's and early 90's..
Great books too, I love books about the American Indians..everyone that has never read any should..it gives you a whole new mind set about Indians and the pioneer days.
LOVE the pictures of the roadrunner, I've never seen one of them..I just have this picture of the road runner cartoon..MEE MEEP MEE MEEP..in my head..and the road runner muscle car that was the big deal in the 60s-80's I think..My boyfriend had one and I thought I was the cats meow LOL..love you blog, it brings back so many wonderful memories..hugs Jazzy
