I've decided if running errands was exercise, I would be the fittest woman in the world!! Ha!
We got lots accomplished today . . . but Dave ran us girls like a drill sargent. Sargent Dave! But he had good thinking, that if we got everything done early in the day, we could enjoy a nice, relaxing family evening. Good thinking, that is, if you're alive by evening to enjoy it!!!
So, we decided we'd do the yard sale thing in the morning. We're looking for a few things and every now and then we get the idea that we'll venture out early Saturday for that bargain of a lifetime. Dave is so prepared. Had the Yard Sale section from the last three days of The Tennessean and we were off, excited as to what we might find . . . . four hours later, exhausted and hungry we headed to Costco to fill the tank from our morning hunt that brought us . . . nothing!! Oh well, that's how it goes. Persistence is part of the game. Luckily I got lots of experience with this growing up with my mom, the Yard Sale Queen!! Well, Charity did buy some multi-colored, heart-shaped bangles. A dozen of the lovely things, new in the package for just $0.50. I'm glad somebody found a treasure!
At Costco we also picked us some Rotisserie Chicken Salad wraps for lunch, that Grumpy (Dave's dad) had recommend. Very yummy!!
Back at home, I could have so easily dozed off on my nice spot on the sofa. But it was off again. Dave decided we should take Charity to some Metro water park off Charlotte. So he got the information and again, off we headed. And drove right on by . . . it was a little busy, like 1200 other people, among other reasons I didn't think it was a good idea . . .
So we headed off to Bicentennial to see if they had those fountains going . . . no such luck. Charity was bummed, but handled it well. We did walk around the park and take in some sun. Yumm!!

A little dance with Daddy:
While Mommy checked out the beautiful flowers. I love these big, ole magnolias!!
A family shot:
To Aldi and Big Lots for the cheap stuff. Back home to put it away and then back out we went. This time to Dunkin Donuts for coffee for the ride and then to Wal*Mart. The real deal. Got everything we need for tomorrow's BBQ. No need for produce, because we bought that earlier in the day at a farm stand. Oh, did I forget to write that. Oops! That was the best stop of the day!! Last stop we decided to head to the Red Box for a DVD (Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium).
Charity helping out with some of the driving on our busy day . . . just kidding!! :P
Being silly in the car, Help me . . .
We've finally arrived home and I'm not going anywhere the rest of the day! Whoo hoo! Happily back at my spot on the sofa, relaxing with my feet up after the marathon of chores today . . . but I guess that what weekends are for!?!?!
