The time has come to update again! As everyone knows Channah is expecting a precious little girl any time now. Because she is pregnant she hasn't been able to help work on the furniture with us but she usually goes with us on our shopping trips. Channah thinks Johnnie and I have a shopping problem and that we should quit buying! How dare her! Let me tell you a little about our shopping trips. We get up bright and early and head out to pick up Johnnie. I can barely get my eyes open and Channah has decided if she has to be up at 7AM on Saturday that she is going to have fun. Johnnie has printed up this nice little paper with all of the garage sales in our area. OH BOY! It takes about 2 minutes before our car is full of laughter and everyone is ready to go. We shop til we can't go any more. We can't fit anything else into the car but that hasn't stopped us from still buying. We just leave our stuff at the garage sale and tell them we will come back to get it. We go home to get the trailer and head back to all of the locations where we have left our furniture. Its great when you pull up at a garage sale with a large white trailor! We end up with a fainting couch, a vanity, a beautiful black bed and more! Next weekend we hit the roads again. This time we head out in the convertible Camaro to garage sale. We for sure look like dorks. We pull up at a garage sale but don't get out of the car we just ask the price of a plastic shelf that Johnnie wants for storage. Thats what we like to call a Drive-Thru garage sale. The shelf is $5.00 and Johnnie wants it. After it is taken apart we realize that it won't fit into the car anywhere. Looks like we are coming back to this one too! We think it is so funny when we come back pulling our trailer to pick up this plastic shelf but we also had other homes to hit to pick up left behind stuff. Our trailer is now loaded down and I don't think we can fit anything else in it. Guess its time to go home.
Johnnie and I have been working hard on getting the furniture refinished. It is so hot in the back of the building! I have ruined more clothes painting in them that I now have a pile of "painting" clothes. I guess I think if Johnnie can paint without getting anything on her that I can. WRONG! Channah and I can just look at the paint can and we have it all over us. We have been working on this bedroom set that has a vanity, a tall dresser, end table and headboard. It looked pretty ugly and outdated before. Now it is so cute if I must say! Just needs 1 more coat and they are heading out to put in the antique store. Pictures will come. Too bad Channah hasn't felt like coming up and chatting with us. She could be getting some great pictures of Johnnie and I working hard.
It rained really hard yesterday and when I got to the shop it had water in the back. Not alot but enough to make us have to move it all around. Good time to organize I guess. GREAT!
