Breathe deeply...okay...I Love a small town, take 2. Olympic Spoiler...Lindsey Vonn got the gold!!! Whoohoo!!! The news said look away if you want to watch the coverage and be surprised...I couldn't stand it...I looked. I might be asleep by the time it comes on in prime time.
I took this picture the other day on President's day. Our small town is very patriotic and flies old Glory for every patriotic holiday. We also love parades! I grew up in a small town much like this. When we retire to LaPine, I will probably die in a small town. I stole that for John Cougar Mellencamp. What's up with the "Cougar"? I went for a nice training walk this afternoon with my training partner.
He still has a smile on his face after 3 miles. I had to run some errands this morning so I popped into the Yellow house to look for a little treasure (that's how I roll). The first thing I found was a Dooney & Bourke purse. For a BUCK. Then I found a gorgeous plaid Pendleton jacket lined with thinsulate for $2.00. The prices have gone up and the gal at the register was apologetic, I was like "oh, it's 2 dollars?" when in my mind I was thinking "I'm going to do a freakin' cartwheel in the parking lot when I leave here!" Not really, I probably would break a hip! Here are the treasures I found:
As if that was not enough, I stopped at our Book Nook which supports our local library. Magazines are free...here's what I got:
I felt compelled to buy something since I scored so big on the mags, so here are the videos I got for fifty cents a piece:
The only thing that would make this day better is if my sweetie were here to snuggle with...Miss ya Honey!!!

I live in a small town but we don't have stores like that one!!!
I love a successful thrifting day - Pendleton, wow!
Goodness, those are good prices! The thrift stores here in DC are almost as much as new from Ross.
Love thrift shops, love estate sales...you did good!
D & B for a buck! I must go shopping with you! I took a week off of blogging to watch the Olympics. AS soon as I get home I'm a couch potato ;D But will get moving again.
