Help Me Harry–I’m a Thrifting Maniac!

Mistaya as Harry Potter last Friday night at the Social Justice pot luck. BTW, I wonder if the term pot-luck came from the Canadian aboriginal tradition called a pot-latch–giant parties with abundant food and gifts for all the guests.
OK, I’m guilty of thrifting this morning. Artemis is home sick thus I didn’t have the twins today and Mist is home with a headache. SO, I left Pip with Mist and headed out doing long over-due errands (groceries etc.). And…well…things went from thrifting to treasure hunting rather quickly. How could I resist the 1930s deep maroon sofa and chair set for a total of $70? And the Duncan Fife oval coffee table for $20. Yes, I know, I do not need a sofa and chair. However, ever since I was a teen, the style and fabric of this sofa set has been my favorite. And anyhow, I can turn around and sell the lot for 5X what I paid for them.
Have taken 4 mornings off from working out to make sure this virus blows through me without turning into bronchitis. I think I am ready to workout tomorrow.
Peter is in Vancouver. He will be home Wednesday and then off to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for 4 days.
I have a buddhist meditation tonight. A dog play date for Fernando up at Miranda’s this aft. Their new pup Fozzie is awfully cute, floppy and bigger than Fernando already and he’s only 8 weeks!
Tuesday my hair appointment, Tabs dance and Wednesday the Kelowna Film society show foreign films each Wed. night at a local movie theatre. This week it is “Cairo Time” an Egyptian/Canadian film and I want to go! Thursday Theresa and Joop arrive from Toronto, Friday, Theresa’s family Bday Party, Saturday class all day and the big “Spot the Shlock” wine party at Miranda and John’s–the kids party will be held at my house. Next week is Mistaya’s birthday party. She wants a Harry Potter theme and to invite about 16 friends over. Wow.
So that brings you up to date on my family’s week.
