Yard Sale Find

Had an awesome time with my son, his family, and his granny today.  My son informed me that he was kidnapping me this morning.  They took us to a casino in Oklahoma after we stopped and got their granny.  We ate at the restaurant that has a buffet.  I do believe that I will be going back to eat there every so often.  

We played a few games and then headed home.  My son decided to stop at some garage sales because his granny likes going to them.  She likes looking for stuff for her yard.  I normally don't go to yard sales.  I don't need any clothes nor do I need any nick knacks for the house.  We have no room!!!   I did find this glass plate for $.50. 

 

I couldn't pass it up.  It's a pretty plate.  I like putting candles in or on different things.  I have a candle in a basket.  Of course I don't light the candle.  I like how it looks. 

Now to find a smaller candle that will fit right in the center of the plate.

My Revamped Desk

It's done for now.

As I said before....I'm not sure that I like the color.  I'm thinking that I might white wash it with a blue.  Of course, I'll do a test piece first.  Another project for another summer.  In the meantime, this will have to do.

Home Remedy for Mosquito Bites

I knew that I was going to get ate up alive when I went to pull the weeds in the fenced in area for my doggie.  The back of my legs looked like the mosquitoes were playing darts.  LOL!!!  Dummy me wore shorts.  It's too hot for sweats or jeans, let alone shoes.  I had whelps all over the backs of my legs.  It felt like I had gotten in a batch of poison ivy.  Shudder!!!!

This what I used to get the swelling from the bites to go down.  I'm not itching either. 

I ran a tub of warm water. Added approximately a cup of Apple Cider Vinegar and a good dose of Tea Tree Oil to it.  I love a hot bath, so, I adjusted the temperature after I got in.  

It helps to have a good book while you are soaking in this concoction.  I'm currently reading a book by Max Brand called, "Thunder Moon's Challenge".  Not my normal genre, but I do like a good western here and there.  

I still have a bit of swelling on one leg, but no where near what I had before I soaked in the tub.

You might stink like Tea Tree oil, but it is well worth it.
