What a Deal



We had a on line auction in our paper the other day and they had a bent willow love seat similar to the one above. I bid on it but not a huge amount. Few days later it said I didn't meet the reserve and hadn't won. I wasn't surprised since they wanted about 275 more then I bid, LOL. However.....2 days later I get a email that they were accepting my bid. Wow. For $85 dollars I just got a $352.95 love seat! For now it is in my old van and I will move it the basement during the winter. How cool is that. I couldn't get a picture as it is raining cats and dogs right now. I have always wanted one and next year if things aren't too bad we plan on putting in a patio. This will be perfect on it.

Later on we are going to eat at the Texas Roadhouse for supper for my son's birthday. I haven't eaten there yet. So many restaurants I haven't eaten at. We have cut way back on our eating out and expect to be cutting back alot more. darn, I love not having to cook.

My next weekend off we are going to DeSoto National Wildlife Reserve to see the snow geese migration, or maybe 2 weeks after that. They usually post when the best time for photo's is. I am looking forward to getting some shots. Hopefully they will turn out well. I also ordered a Macro lens today. I was torn between this lens or the 70 - 200 but will get that one next year. One thing at a time.

Those willow chairs are very pretty. Google alerts do not go out very well. I have got very few from people who have blogs. I hope you get a chance to go see the snow geese and take lots of pictures. Helen
