day trippin’

22 July 2011

It’s Friday and other than the pool, we’ve been pretty house bound all week.  I decided it was time to take a little day trip!  Unfortunately, it was a work day for daddy so he couldn’t join us girls but we still had a great time!  We made the hour long drive up to Riley’s Farm for some U-pick berries and a picnic in the park.  Hello~ 80 degree weather!

It was slim pickins’.  The berries are not quite ripe yet.

It may be another week for the blackberries, too.

Not counting gas, I only spent $5 ($2.50/half pint of berries) on this day trip.

Oh, and on the way home, we saw a “Yard Sale” sign so we had to stop. Smile

I got 7 volumes of these beautiful vintage Woman’s Day Encyclopedia of Cookery books!

Apparently, the books are a cross between a cooking dictionary and an encyclopedia.

First of all, I love old cookbooks.  After I get through browsing them, they’ll make a great side table display.

Notice the 5th book down… it says Korean Cookery! 

Should be interesting!

So what did I pay for 7 volumes of 1960’s cooking memorabilia?

$1. 

That’s quite a deal, if I don’t say so myself! Winking smile

Happy Weekend, Y’all! 

Did I just say, Y’all?

I Love it! Nice frugal day trip girl! And the cookbooks. . . oh my . . . love you. . . can't wait to look at the books! I love that you were able to just stop and look at the garage sale - I can't wait for moments like those when my kiddo's are a bit bigger!
