Chicken anyone?

How hard is it to find a pair of shoes for under $10 in a kids size 11...answer: Impossible.

Meghan lost one of her shoes while swinging on the rope swing last week. She fell off, and one of her shoes went flying down the hill, never to be seen again. Seriously, we've looked! I even offered a reward for the capture and return of afore mentioned shoe, but to no avail. It's tan, just like the foot of leaves covering the woodland floor under the swing, so my guess is that it's been carried off by ants now or maybe a racoon.

So, we've gone to Wal-Mart and 2 thrift stores but couldn't find shoes to fit. Got some slippers and a pair of rubber boots that are too big but will do in a pinch. Have to wait for $ on Friday and go to town it seems.

Got an appointment to butcher chickens tomorrow instead of Friday which puts us in a bind for money, I hate running out of money before payday. But at least we'll have lots of chicken to eat. I think I'll put a sign on the mailbox offering fresh chicken for $4.50 lb and see if I get any takers. That'll really help as I'll have less to find freezer space for.

Gotta run and clean the kitchen, which seems to be a perpetual mess these days. Matches the living room full of boxes. Ok, time for a garage sale! Wonder how much we can make? I bet it's at least $300 if we sell stuff for cheap. We really should think about eBay for some if Steve's collector things. Hmmm. Something to ponder.

later!
