Today was a great day, even tho I had to work. This morning, as early as I could get ready, Teena and I decided to go garage saleing. She always seems to find whatever she prays for. She recently moved back to Manteca and was in need of several things to make her home look cozy. She found more than enough stuff. All I wanted, and needed I might add, is a desk for my kitchen. I prayed but nothing happened. (O ye of little faith). I was so discouraged. I did manage to find an old New Testament Bible,it's even red letter, I didn't even have to pay for it. Guess the Lord figured I needed that more than a desk.
Well, I went back to work feeling like Charlie Brown during Halloween, "all I got was a rock," and Teena proceeded to do her daily routine of running kids back and forth to school, cleaning house etc. She happened onto a house that was having a sale near where she babysits. She and Erika said a silent prayer, and sure enough, the owner had an adorable desk for $20.00. Now that is answer to prayer if I ever heard it. Still dont' know why I didn't find it, but glad to have gotten it after all.
So, here is the infamous desk. Just wait til I get it sanded, some new white paint and brushed nickel knobs. Where is Pastor Hess when I need him? Oh yea, in New York. Guess I will be on my own with this one. Can't wait to get started.

I miss our yard sale Friday's. I love the desk. Only $20? Great deal! Teena left a comment on my blog that she is coming back East soon. Please tell her that we'd love to have her come visit. I'll be out of state March 24,25, & 26, but everything else is O.K.
I miss garage sale-ing too. I don't think that is a word, but it should be. Glad you guys had a good time. Does Teena blog?
