What a Find!

I love a good thrift store find. They are getting very rare for me though. Mostly because I haven't even gone to a thrift store in months- also because a lot more people are thrifting so the pickings are slim. I didn't plan to stop this morning, but I thought I might find another pair of uniform pants or shorts for Julian. In my calculations, I didn't factor in that he'd need a set of "accident" clothes. I ended up at a store that I don't even like that much. They price everything in anticipation of the one day a month when it's all half off. Anyway, I did find a pair of suitable pants for Juju and then a pair of shoes caught my eye. I have little feet and I can wear kids sizes. These fit perfectly! (I know, I know, thrift store shoes- ick, BUT for the right shoe, you can always throw in insoles and they're fine.) Here's my find:

Love the hand embroidering!

The last photo was artistic, this is a better view! They have hand stitched rag soles too.

Father's Day

from June 17, 2012~

(Taken with Juju's camera, so it's a bit grainier than usual!)

Church and then Father's Day lunch at the oft-discussed Chinese Mexican Burrito. It actually wasn't too bad, for Forsyth anyway! Grandpa could barely stay awake today. He is still enjoying chocolates though, so Dad picked him up a nice box of Russell Stover's. Julian and I are missing Jason. We did get to talk to him for a bit, which was nice.

As I was wrapping up Julian's bedtime ritual, we got an invite to go up the hill for popcorn at Uncle Stanley's. Julian had a great time playing with Benjamin. Benjamin is 12, but doesn't seem to mind entertaining Juju. I so enjoyed just being with family and talking and hanging out. We're lucky to live near Jason's family, but I do miss having my kin nearby. There's just an odd sense of humor we Weeks' have.
