How I'm spending my summer vacation...

When I was teaching I always had the students write about how they spent their summer vacation. I know you, as well as me, when I was the student, was sick to death of writing about "summer vacation... but it always gave me great insight to their lives, their interests, and their exposure to the world.

If I were writing about my summer today,  I would surely include this little find - I would title it,

My Ten Minute Find!

On my way home from running errands I decided to stop by the Goodwill. I only had 10 mins max and thought it probably a waste of my time. As soon as I opened the door I spotted it straight ahead... towards the back. I made a bee line to it and could not believe it was only $12.

I had been looking for a small wooden table to go on the deck at the beach condo. I could picture it already in my mind... cleaned up and painted white (of course). All things were made to be painted white.

I took it home and cleaned it up and  sat it in the kitchen... its' new temporary home until I can take it to the beach. 

 Now I'm thinking I kinda like it there. It matches perfectly although the green 90's wallpaper is coming down this fall the new color will be taupe..... it's just too hot to tackle anything like that now. Oops! That's Skippers checked placemat for his water bowl on the side. His presence always seems to make its' way into my pictures!

Glad you could stop by. Come again often
