my new porch furniture

So after the parade on sat. Tiera, Kona and I were heading over to Konas house to admire all of her new treasures, and passed by a garage sale. It was a hot afternoon so I had the side door of Tieras mini van open, and saw this wicker patio set on a lawn at a garage sale. I SCREAMED for her to stop, and before she could completely come to a stop, I was out and running. Now, I did enjoy my rocking chairs, but I wanted something else. This set was for sale, and I snatched it up before anyone else could. I did try calling Jade to come and look at it, but he didn't answer his phone. Good thing too, cause when I got it home, he was wholly unimpressed with it. Tiera just laid all her seats down in her van and we fit the entire set in there. It came already with americana themed pillows and all. I LOVE IT! I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and am very glad Jade wasn't there to say he didn't like it. I even haggled with the lady over the price...I would've paid what she was asking, but if I could get it for less, why not?!

Here it is on my porch...ah, such a wonderful place to come out and read.
Here are a few pictures of other stuff on my porch



I was so content with my new purchase, as I was sitting on it waiting for people to arrive for the BBQ, I kept singing, or humming my favorite song from Summer Magic...On The Front Porch
The parade was 45 mins. shorter this year, but we still got hordes of people coming and going in front of the house. I did, as usual get asked about my porch by many people, wondering who lived there, and oh you do, what a wonderfully decorated porch it is, how cute, and so on. I do it, cuz I love it decorated, and so everyone will tell me how cute it is, I'm sure that makes me a very vain person, or something like that, but I don't care! Thanks to my very creative sister Mercy Otis, cuz if it wasn't for her, it would still look like a bunch heathens lived here. Oh, wait, a bunch of heathens do live here, but from my front porch looking in, you can't tell. HA HA HA!
