Hacks & Deals

My mom taught me a great hack this past weekend.
She got a huge seedless watermelon for us, and she must have sensed my lack of excitement at cutting the thing up. She asked if I had a gravy ladle and a knife.

First, you cut the watermelon in half.


Second, use the ladle to scoop out the edible portion of the melon.

It scoops out little balls. Sweet, huh?

On my way to the grocery store I stopped at a yard sale and bought two chairs for $1 apiece!
Good grief! Ignore my crafting mess. Look at the cool blue chair! It is an early Ethan Allen chair. It still has tags on the underside. It is comfy too. I like the blue, while Kevin isn't so sure about it. I also liked the price.

Hope everyone has a great week.

You always find the coolest stuff at yard sales. Do you have some kind of radar? I'm going to have to start shopping in your neighborhood.

I live near many older people...in case you didn't notice! There are drawbacks...no kids for my kids to play with for starters! Also, they tend to take better care of their yards than we do! :)
