Just got back from a bonus visit with my sister. Had to drive my mother-in-law home (down the coast) on Tue night ( big storm night, had to deal with a big tree across the road-missed the ferry but caught the later one, branches all over the road but finially made it to Barbs by just after midnight! Got to stay with her for 4 days, it was like a holiday! We, of course, did the thrift stores, even found a new one! Got some great finds, a robe, t-shirts, frames, a cool basket, material, a BIG ceramic oyster shell that looks real! Thats just a few of the things!! Then there was the dump trips to the "share shed". Watched as about 50 wooden resturant chairs were unloaded! Of course we went back the next day to get 3 of those plus a big wooden frame, a funky wooden stool, some plates, an old typewriter (that still worked) some long planters and more! We laughted till we cried, stayed up late watching movies and talking, had great walks on the beach with Casper (her dog), found tons of beach glass because of the storms, we even walked the beach one night at 10:15 just to see what the storm had done! This trip put us both on top of the world!
