I was channel surfing last night, since there was nothing to watch, and stumbled on Antiques Roadshow. I told the hubbie that my new “job”, besides from being a “household engineer”, is to be a “professional shopper” at…yard sale, that is!

Have you ever watched Antiques Roadshow? The premise of the show is this: Professional appraisers, from jewelries to furnitures to the oddities, travel to six different states per year and hold appraisal events at a specific location (determined the year before). Ordinary folks like you and me can bring in your “find” and the appraiser will determine the “actual” worth of the item.

I thought having Tyler and Trent back to school, it’d give me some “free” time to dedicate to this blog. But it hasn’t worked out that way. There are so many projects to do around the house and lots of books to read. So I’ve missed a few important dates in September to blog about. Here’s the condensed version of what’s been happening in our neck of the woods.

Birthday:

Tyler blew out 8 candles on 9/4 with his paternal grandparents and cousins in NJ. I can’t believe he’s in 3rd grade and 8 y/o already!! That only means one thing…I’m getting OLDER!!! YIKES!
