I've given in...

Thanks to my dear friend Kara and her constant words of encouragement to have my "very own blog", I've finally given in and joined the blogging world!! I've had a really fun and inspiring time the past few weeks looking at a lot of other people's blogs. I've found that the ones I am most fond of are the ones that have lots of pictures, just about everyday life kinda stuff! I have a feeling that it will be the same with my blog. So, without further ado: here's my most recent "found-it-by-the-side-of-the-road" find. As most of my family and friends know, I like to spot treasures in other peoples trash pile. And no, I don't go driving around town the night the trash goes out, (although I have thought about it a time or two!!). So, I find this great bike just a mile down the road with a "free" sign. Of course, my dear husband hefts it into the pickup truck and away we go. I found an old basket and chained it to the front handle bars, planted a flower and voila!! Charm with a capital "C"!! A few weeks later during my kick-butt garage sale, (more on that later) a lady walks up to me, "I think you're my cousin and that's my bike!!" So, yeah, I now own my first cousins bike!! What a hoot! Another side note: I am the youngest of over 65 cousins on ONE side, so for me to not know or recognize a first cousin is not strange in the least!
