The day began with the intention of visiting the Sugarbush Maple Syrup Festival in Salem. However, since we were starving, Hubby isn't a huge fan of pancakes/waffles, and our plumbing backed up (iiicck!), we stopped at Cracker Barrel first. Next, we headed to the hardware store to get some drain cleaner. Finally, at around 1 p.m., we headed to the festival. And so did the rain. Again, iiick. The muck just looked too deep--not exactly conducive to the girls short legs. Once again, the weather channel had it wrong. Down with the weather channel!
I digress.

So, we maneuvered through the country roads and headed to the Little Treasures kid's consignment sale in Louisville. Who needs to save gas or the environment anyway? >: /
I spent about $80 at the sale (the picture doesn't include 4 My Little Pony toys), and I got some nice stuff for the girls for this summer and next fall. They will both be wearing uniforms to school, but they need clothes for weekend and dress down days. I normally shop these sales instead of resale or garage sales because they are: a) orderly, b) clean, c) 1-stop shopping for clothes, toys, kids furniture, etc.
Next, we were starving again (we didn't eat much at Cracker Barrel in great anticipation for waffles with berries, whipped cream, and ice cream...and syrup, of course!), so we headed to Buca di Beppo, a place we go about 2-3 times per year. It was super yummy, which helped improve our moods tremendously, as you can see from the above pictures!
The store may still be open at the Maple Syrup farm next weekend, so here's hoping...
What did you set out to do today?
Working on the cabinets! Yeehaw! lol They are now completely stripped, sanded and ready for staining. What a chore that was. Also did some laundry too....
ReplyDeleteSorry about the rain, but I was expecting it....my sources said it was going to rain a good portion of today! Weather channel does stink!
