It’s been a week after hosting our garage sale. Almost a week after our camping trip followed by a day long adventure in LegoLand, Carlsbad. Elizabeth and I visited more than 10 garage sales this morning. Aimless shopping. The only aim really is spending time with my daughter. Sharing tips on seeking bargains, boys, Jonas Brothers, friends, school, and why her brother is a pest.

On one of our last stops, she found a small roll of police barricade tape. The woman simply gave the tape to Elizabeth. She plans to use it on her door hoping to send a message to her little brother. We spent less than 20 dollars spending more on her brother buying him a Bushnell telescope and tripod for $2.00 and a Jr. Nike golf bag filled with lefty golf clubs for $5.00. Ben does not golf, but his buddy Ian does.

It’s around noon and we are staying close to home today. School begins next week. We start the family Fall schedule on Tuesday. Today is homestead laundry day followed by a DIY lawn mowing. I’m going to grab a bite to eat now and simply wanted to say hello. So, Hello.
