Garages Sales

Hey Lovelies! I am going today to discuss about my experience and my very first garage sales that I had in my life. It will be the first and last yard sales or garage sales because it was a lot of work. A couple weeks ago were finally done solve few stuff then the stuff that we still had left we didn’t keep them they are goes to marva consignment we wanted them to go away so we have a clean garage and looks my husband organize his tools. Well, my family are already told me that it’s better to give it directly to any consignment but, I asked big favor to them I wanted to have experience and at least earn a little money from it. I thank to my husband, my mother-in-law, and my 9 years old daughter who helped me from the beginning to the end. After those working hard I realize it wasn’t easy. I would not do it anymore again. We put our stuff out from 4 o’clock in the morning and finish around 1 o’clock in the afternoon. It was a very long hot day and humid. Were all say, that’s it (no garage sale anymore). Now, I learned big time from it. I really do agreed to my family and from now on I listen to them.

My friend at work she dropped few things for garage sales and we sold some of her stuff $110 and ours about $ 160. Most of toys my husband give it free to the kids and we don’t sell higher price from it. I felt so guilty to my family then we decide to spent it to the sumo Japanese restaurant for 7 years wedding anniversary and 23 years old Amy birthday. My mother-in-law was offered us she pays our dinner out but, she working hard from garage sales, too. So, why not using it. Everyone deserve after working hard but we had a clean garage and I park in to garage during winter season. 

Happy 4th of July America

          I cooked bacon for 4^th of July breakfast by request of my mother-in-law.  Of course, everyone loves bacon. So I went a head to cook their special food.

          Sweet strawberry I kind of like to dash a little bit of salt to make a taste in between salt and sweet. But, that’s the way we like.

          My mother-in-law bought watermelon at Kroger and My Husband picked another big watermelon the other day at Wal-Mart. So, we got two watermelons, which is good. I can tell, must be family favorite fruits

          I love homemade Potato Salad my mother-in-law does good cooking. I learned few things of her styles and I hope, I get the recipes from this cause it is very delicious.

          A corn so yummy with butter and dash of salt that’s very simple just heat them up 6 minutes in microwaves and then ready to eat.

          This is so delicious were patiently waited for this in couple hours until cooked. It worth to wait because so yummy and tasty my husband did a good job to put seasoning are perfect.

          Here’s my plate full of food plus desert. I don’t often eat suffer but last night I eat too much and I enjoying every bit of it. Lemon pie is super sweet

Hi Love!

I hope everyone had a good weekend and happy 4rt of July America. I already know we don’t have work Friday for early holiday but last Thursday, my co-worker and I so surprise that my boss told us. They called me around 8:40 in the morning. She told me, we work until only 9 o’clock because the president sent us to home early so that we can prepare for holiday and spend with family. Everyone so thankful to the president at school it was mean a lot to us.

When I got home from work last Thursday. My mother-in-law and My Daughter eating breakfast. Then I finally helped my mother-in-law to trim the roses and the tree of our front yard and the back yard. In 11:00 o’clock my husband and I went to his appointment for machine then Wal-Mart spent a lot of time walking around and shop. We also met my one of my co-worker Brenda and her husband Mark. She called me and make a joke (Brenda said, I know where you are?) at first, I thought she’s inside the building and I keep turning my head, trying to figure it out if where she is then, she finally told me (I saw your car with mini mouse Disney antenna decoration of your car) so, she means they still in the Wal-Mart parking lot.  All the way our check out husband and I met them in the self-check out area. 

In Fourth of July only 4 of us (my husband, my mother-in-law, my daughter and include me in dinner. My stepdaughter and her husband visited for a while they don’t stay for dinner because they’re going to a friend house for party.

After dinner, last night were listening and watching fireworks outside. We observe, poor birds the noise of firecrackers are bothering to them. We can tell, they fly everywhere in the street. My husband has few noise crackers that we freak out watching him because I don’t want him to get hurt (it’s old basic firecracker that he wanted to get it over) I slept last night around 12:00 after clearing outside.

Have a good Day!

Sonic Slushes with NERDS Candy

                Summer is just around the corner. In southern part we feel it already and getting warmer in 80’s to 90 degree. My daughter and I went to the store the other day I notice the heater was on then I asked her if she could turn the air on in the car because it was really hot inside the car. She answer me back this (aww I thought mom we practice the hot weather for Philippines then now, were spoiled). I don’t want her to confuse but I told her. The heat inside the car are different if you compare to the Philippines weather is humid. But inside the car is to hot it will kill us because we need a fresh air. Even how hot in the Philippines we can survive it but inside the car and no air we can’t survive.  She was 4 years old in our first visiting to my Family in Philippines she don’t even remember but this time she will because this time she’s 9 years old.

                 My stepson is been here 2weeks visiting with us. He is the one who discover slushes drinks from sonic. He got my daughter spoiled, too.  The flavor she’d tries are Strawberry (cherry with Nerds * Candy), Lemon (sour blue raspberry), Cranberry (Green Apple with Nerds * Candy). There are more flavors available in sonic and there are now famous for summer I guess. I taste them but not that fan. My daughters really love it.
