Hello Spring Break

We have been on Spring Break now since Friday at 1:30, and it sure has been nice. Well nice for me, my hubby is not a fan of Spring Break. This one has been particularly hard on him as we have had the worst weather. Lots of rain, snow, sleet, hail and wind, typical for Idaho in March.

I have been out and about taking photos with my Christmas present. My Nikon. It was out of action for about 3 weeks. My hubby dropped it and broke off 2 of the lens mounts on the lens and I had to wait until his payday to get a replacement. He got me a 55mm-200mm zoom lens with vibration control. I love it.

Here are some of my favorites that I took on Sunday morning. I must have been quite a site, out in my front yard in my leopard print pjs and sweater and pink fuzzy slippers!




I have managed to get some much needed cleaning done as well. Cleaned out a hall closet and our mud room as well as much needed basic house work. Got out of my cleaning cycle for about 2 weeks with working on costumes and working back stage of our theatre group's production of the "Secret Garden".

We have also been hitting the thrift stores. We have gone on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. Not today, yet! Here are some of my finds:

Candle Vases. Not sure when they were made, but by the look of the box I would say 50's.

Milk glass goblets. Brings my total up to 14. Rick and I were in an antique store yesterday where they had a set of 4 for $20.00.

A vintage Pyrex container. Not sure if the bottom and the top go together as they are both different shades of blue. I haven't done any research yet, but I plan to either this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

Have a great day!
