So, I'm just a tad late in posting this. Ha. Where, exactly did this week go? Crazy. Anyway, Bailey and I got on an antique kick last weekend. Lots of fun. We started on Saturday by going to a place called Antique Trove. Actually, we went there twice on Saturday. It's a big place, and we ran out of time before Austen's basketball game (where they all played quite miserably, darn it). After the game, we headed back to finish the aisles we missed. What did we get? I found a crystal cake plate (probably not an antique, but at $12, it was a good deal), and Bailey picked out a Ty Beanie Bear. I know. Also not an antique, but fun nonetheless. I also found a cool, "older" Wheaties box, black and silver, with Raiders information from 1995. I'm thinking I'll make something creative out of it to display/hold the few pictures we have of Shawn's Uncle Bob when he played for them way back in the 60's. On Sunday, Bailey and I went to Old Town Folsom. The boys were home doing chores and yardwork (boring!) And lucky for us ... they were having their annual Antique Boutique. What are the odds? There was tons to look at, but Bailey decided that she preferred the stores to the booths. Our new favorite store, Dorothea's, has all sorts of holiday stuff. Mainly Christmas, but Halloween and Thanksgiving, too. The adorable cupcake above? An ornament from there. It was tough to pick just one, but I settled on this beauty. Bailey picked out a cute ceramic dog, that reminded her of Roxy. We also picked up some Kettle Corn. Love that stuff. And then we headed home. Such a nice way to spend the day with Bailey.Thursday, September 25, 2008
Last weekend.

To Bailey and Mom,
Sounds like you guys had a wonderful time together. I love the cupcake and all the other goodies. What a great way to spend time with your daughter.
Having kids can be very rewarding. I'm blessed to have four great kids
Hugs and Kisses
