On my usual Sunday jaunt to the Goodwill, I found items I was looking for. Remember I said that I didn't want to jinx and say what I was looking for last time. Well, guess what? I found some items that I didn't name. How about that! Come along and see what I did find. Capital Hill in Seattle opened a new Goodwill and our first stop was this location.

Next Sunday is Mother's Day, so my friend and I will not be going to the Goodwill and the following Sunday is the twin's birthday party. By two weeks I am sure to be going through with-drawls at not going to the Goodwill. I will be thinking of all the items that I could of have, but I wasn't there to find them. Darn. Oh, well, maybe I will be able to get some projects done around the house besides laundry and the dishes.
