Finds and Food.

Hello! I'm sorry I haven't posted much this week. I've been really sick so I haven't got much done.

I was really excited because yesterday at a garage sale I found a bike trailer for David so we can ride bikes now! We had a bike seat but it's hard to balance with him in it. The trailer was only $20!! That was a great deal!

I had to give in a buy some new sandels (not flip flops) for BJ and Elly. They were buy one get one 1/2 off so they ended up being $10 each. We've been looking for 3 months and haven't found any and they really needed them. Of course, mom found some for Elly at the DAV then yesterday! Oh well, you can't win them all!

Here are a couple of stove top recipes from Not Just Beans and Dining On A Dime so you don't have to turn on the oven this summer. Tawra
