Went to the Ohio State Fair yesterday.

My kids have never been to it and it's been

forever since me and hubby have been.

We were there about 6 hours and were

wore out!!  Don't know how I got through it

all with the pain I'm in but I did it.

Many breaks that's for sure.

I took mom to a couple thrift stores this morning.

I must not be in the mood to go to thrift stores,

yard sales or the flea market because I either 

don't buy anything or don't buy much.

Today I was hoping to find another steamer.

I had to throw the one away I had because

it quit working.  I did manage to find a garment steamer

for $6.96.  I can use that on clothing, drapes,

furniture, car uppholstery and mattresses.  It's kinda hard to use

a floor steamer that will leak when held up

to do those tasks.

It has a telescoping pole where you can

hang garments on to steam them then retract to store it.

Another thing I found was a downspout diverter

still new in the box for $2.92!

I've always wanted one for use with rain barrels.

Rain water will go down the gutter into the rain barrels and once

it fills up the diverter reroutes the rain water

to go back out the downspout.

These run about $30 so I've haven't been 

able to afford one til now.
