Look what I got!

Look what came in the mail yesterday.......

I had forgotten about these. Thanks Rachael!
In between my crocheting I am currently reading the latest Stephen King novel "11/22/63".
I thought it was going to be about the JFK assassination, but it is about trying to stop it from happening. Great read!

Water for Elephants

I finished reading this great book that I bought at a yard sale for 50 cents and can't wait to see the movie! I started reading Sunday night and finished Monday night!
I have not been 'surfing the web' lately and hope all of my friends understand. Hope everyone has a great week.

Pretty Little Liars

How many are watching this great show?? I have watched every episode since last season. I have also read all of the books in this series by Sara Shepard. I just finished the last one called "Wanted" and you would not believe the ending!! Great reading!

Food Network & Others

I love to watch Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives so when I found both books, I had to have them. I also love Sandra Lee; she is just a normal person like us. Paula Deen is another story. When I first started watching her shows, I loved her but the people in the south do not say "y'all" every other word! It's almost as irritaing as "You Know".
The Duggars. I love their show and appreciate their values, but God did not make women to breed like rabbits! Come on, Michelle,love yourself and quit destroying your body. Tell that horny husband to back off! I hope that both of you woke up and used some common sense after this last baby almost killed you.

White Trash cooking! Don't have to say anything else.

Mayberry, the town where we all want to live! Great recipes. Notice the 50 cents marked on the cover? That's what I paid for it at a yard sale.

If you grew up during the 60's to late 70's in North or South Carolina, you watched the Betty Feezor show on WBTV everyday! She was the "Martha Stewart" from Charlotte, NC and my mother & I loved to watch her. She died of cancer and we grieved as if we had lost a sister. The blackened edges on the book are from when my home burned in 1986. I lost a lot of material things, but my children and I were safe.

Books-a-Million!

I finally used the gift card my daughter, Janet, gave me for Christmas from Books-a-Million. My daughter, Micki,and I went yesterday and had a ball. Put me in a book store, craft store or flea market and I am in hog heaven! Below are the books I bought along with a box & bridal coupons to use for my future daughter-in-law's,Holly,bridal shower. The box was reduced and I only paid $4.40! We had just seen similar boxes in Michaels priced $10.99! I also got discounts on all of the books, anywhere from 50 cents to $2!

I now have all of the Mary Kay Andrews books. I love her style of writing; you can't put the book down until you finish it. I don't know when I will get to read all of these because I am working on a crochet project right now and I don't like to stop in the middle of a project if I don't have to.
Here are a few of my yard sale finds that I have collected over the years. It's still too cold and people have not started having yard sales yet. I can't wait!
This is a china cabinet that Justin made for me after we got married. As you can see, I love to collect teacups and small items.


Hope you enjoy!
