OP SHOP FIND
This morning I was dropping some things off to a local Op(Opportunity) Shop, so I thought I would wander in and see if there was something I might like.There was a stack of music sheets and books on a table - some pages missing here and there.
No price stickers or tags. Well I thought why not just pick it up and then I'll ask at the counter.
I also saw this cute little (6 inch)Italian made metal frame with a gorgeous sweet faced girl with a basket of roses. At $4 I decided I would have her.
The bargain of the morning was the sheet music.
!!!!........ $2 ..............!!!!
It was my lucky day.
5 DAYS TO GO...............
Amy is now totally sick of herself. The baby is due on Monday. Every time the phone rings I think to myself this is it. Time to rock and roll!!!!!
I have everything up to date so as I can go to her when she rings - well nearly.
Washing, ironing,a couple of dinners made and put into the freezer all done.
Housework - well nearly, once I get off here I will get back to it.

Thanks for visiting, and yes I think Toby will settle down, eventually.Quietly, I think he is enjoying the extra attention, and lapping it up, but thankyou for some reassurance.
The music sheets you bought are a bargain, I actually collect old music books too.My daughter plays piano, but I just love the look of them!Are you musically inclined?

Ah yes, sheet music. I use it for all sorts right now. Although it is slightly more expensive than the bargain you found! Well done!

I remember Andres was so late....then the morning I was supposed to be induced I was so excited. Called at 7:00am like they said....and there was proverbally no room at the inn! I burst out in tears! My dr. bribed the nurses with lunch if they would fit me in and viola...baby born! So I know how she feels! Can't wait to see the baby pics!
Oh my, what great treasures you bought. The sheet music is wonderful. Not much longer to go and you will have your new grandchild in your arms.
Best thoughts for you and Amy
Karen
