Mother Nature is a Bitch!

Last month we had temperatures in the 80's. I kept saying that winter was not over and today Mother Nature proved me right! 37 degrees and snowing!!


And to make matters worse, we lost an hour of sleep due to daylight savings time! Who's the moron that said that was a good idea??
I'm just going to stay inside where it's warm and dry, watch TV, and crochet. I finished making bunny rabbits for a friend and was lost as to what to do next. I started this pattern, but I'm not in love with it.
Pam and I went to visit mother yesterday. At 10 o'clock, she still hadn't been bathed and was still in the bed! I do not like this facility at all! After we left, we stopped at a couple of thrift stores and Goodwill. Bad time of the day for Goodwill! Too many people!! I did find a couple of goodies at the first thrift store. A ceramic rabbit for 50 cents and a parakeet tray for $1!
 I googled the tray when I got home and found out that it was the lid for a tin produced by the Sunshine Biscuit Co. in 1974. There was also one with woodpeckers at the store and I wish I had gotten it now! Maybe it'll still be there when I go back!

I finally got the dinosaur working that I bought a couple of weeks ago at Goodwill for $9.99. I had to buy a charger, remote, and new battery. 
Declan and Xander loved it but Josh was scared. I haven't shown Della and Maxel yet. 
That's it for now. Stay safe and warm!

Oh, what a night!

Last night was a rough one. I went to bed around 10 and thought I had indigestion. At 10:30, I decided I better go to the bathroom where I lost everything I had eaten. Dry heaves!! Then diarrhea! Back up an hour later doing the same thing! I feel better but still feel blah! What a way to start a new month!

Pam and I stopped at Goodwill yesterday on the way to visit Mom.
Three Hummel miniature plates 99 cents each...
Jesus and children $1.99
Chain saw and leaf blower $2.99 each. Just needed batteries.
Bonsai tree $1.99

Best deal....Imaginext Spike the Ultra Dinosaur $9.99! I had to order a remote and extra battery but still a good deal considering these sell for around $149!
