For a number of years now Keith and I attempt a day trip together once a week…also called our ‘date day’. During nursing school our work schedules competed against us and for the last 6 months my exhaustion has gotten in the way. Our day trip/date day is usually exploring a piece of our world around us, a picnic, and sometimes its as simple as a trip to an antique store or borders together. But, we really try to have the time focused on us, together, and not costing much money.
Yesterday morning when I got home from work Keith asked if I wanted to go yardsaling…off we went, and we had a blast together [as always]. Here are the goodies I picked up.

The GOodies: A small Christmas pillow for the couch, A porcelain angel tree topper, brand new with a $15.95 gift shoppe sticker on it, Christmas coffee cup with hot chocolate and a whisk, brand new, Snowman from a local gift shoppe, 2 small Christmas stockings [great for gift cards!!], a candle for the bathroom, a little picture holder, and the pink flowers are actually a candle ring that I will add in to the bathroom when I switch over to my pink theme. [I also picked up 3 soft cover books that I forgot to add to this photo].
Cost = $1.50.

Audiobook on DVD [I cannot get enough of these!! sure does kill time/boredom when you have a 3 hour drive to/from work each day], Willowtree figurine, Letter box and 2 plastic popcorn containers [another gift idea for gift cards].
Cost = $5.50.
This afternoon we took a hike and had a picnic lunch, here’s a few pictures…




I am blessed…I hope your weekend has been as beautiful and relaxing as mine.
