So LOVING the weather today!

67.7 degrees right now.

   

I found this neat little talking weather station

at a yard sale last year for .50 cents.

It tells you the inside temperature

and has a wire that you run outside

to tell you the temperature out there.

I also have a water glass barometer that I don't have

set up yet.  Got that also at a yard sale

for $1.00 - $2.00.  

It forecasts rain 8-24 hours in advance.

And we have a wooden weather station that hangs on the wall

with thermometer, barometer, and hygrometer.

And lastly we have 2 weather radios.

One is an older little square one 

that just picks up the weather service and is only run by a battery

while the other one will send out alerts

with very loud noises like you hear coming across your tv

and was gotten last year and uses battery or electric.

  

Our family likes to learn about weather as you can tell.

Went to a couple thrift stores today in search of

a coffee pot.  I was making hubby's coffee this morning

and when I went to clean the pot before making

it let out this big boom sound and the inside shattered.

Scared the poo poo out of me.

It's a thermal coffee pot.

I have no idea why it shattered like that.  I was just glad

my hand was not inside it at the time because

it looked like pieces of glass inside there!

No luck with finding another coffee pot.

Did find hubby a pair of tennis shoes.

That's not an easy task considering his shoe size,

wide flat feet, has diabetic feet with nerve damage and usually has

to have velcro type shoes due to feet swelling.

Also found him a pair of water shoes.

I looked high and low last year for a pair

for him with no luck.

He doesn't go barefoot too often because of

having very sensitive feet.  He can step

on the tiniest crumb and it hurts him so bad

so you can imagine what concrete at a pool side

feels like on his feet.   

And I found a pair of water shoes for one of the boys.

Still need to find one more pair.

Bought another sonic pest controller for .90 cents.

This one plugs into the wall.

I plugged it into the bedroom to keep our cats out.

Would have loved to have bought this microsuede reclining

glider chair with gliding ottoman for $25.

It was so comfortable.

 Oh and they had a very nice microsuede

couch and chair for about $150 for both.

I love my thrift store.

You can find such good deals there!  

Someone will have a nice furniture set

for cheap when compared to new prices!

Well I gotta go start laundry.

Time is flying by today and it's almost 4:00pm.

We went to Sharon Woods and Hoover Dam this 
afternoon/evening.
Wanted to get out and enjoy the nice weather.
We saw 72 degrees today!

  
While out on our adventure
I decided to practice with my camera some.
I've been trying to read up online how to take
better photos.  I still have a lot of learning
what all the settings on my camera does
and how to use them.
