More Trash to Treasure

Over the weekend, a couple of our neighbors had garage sales. Starting at probably 6:30a, Josh bugged Jay to take him across the street to get what he thought was a little doll bed that he could use for his spider rock. Jay declined. By the time we were all dressed for the day, the little bed was gone and Josh didn't let us forget it. Zach, however, was rewarded for his neighborly nosiness with this lovely attachment for a leaf blower…free of charge (thanks, Jeff).



Much later in the day, as we were returning home, we passed the house where the other garage sale was going on and I spied a doll bed. I told Josh to run down and see how much it was. Breathless, he reported back that it was $1. I figured I could hand over a buck to make a spider rock comfy. I may have overpaid, though, because I found out that the bed didn’t have a bottom and we had to make one out of scraps of cardboard.

That danged spider rock has yet to be placed in the bed even though I fixed up a really fancy mattress and bedding….
