Findley Lake destination

 So where was it that we were headed to on Saturday? We went to Our Own Candle Company. There are actually 2 stores. This one and another across the street. This first one had amazing prices. 

Lets go inside. They make all their candles there.

So many cute things to see

Amanda was actually shopping for my birthday while we were there so she bought me two candles. She also found a cute turkey that was on clearance that she couldn't pass up and a tree of life wall hanging that she wanted for her living room wall.

Tomorrow I show you the other store.

How I spent my birthday.

 It started off slow, in front of my computer with a cup of coffee. Just a typical morning really. To be perfectly honest, birthdays are just that anymore, just a typical day. The thrill is definitely gone. But I am thrilled that I'm still here to celebrate them.

Around 9:00 I picked up Amanda and we headed for Findley Lake NY. It's a cute little town and as the name suggests, there is a lake

Across the street from our destination and the reason we went there was this cute little house with ladybugs on it

Since I've put enough pictures in this post, I will continue this tomorrow.

A 4 day weekend.

 I don't know if I mentioned or not that I had taken a four day weekend last week for my birthday. My birthday was on Saturday so I took the Thursday and Friday before off. I didn't do a whole lot but it was nice not having to get up and go to work.

Thursday I stayed home all day. I did some cleaning, played on the computer and worked on some craft projects.

Friday I ran to Walmart for my weekly shopping. When I got back home the desk chair I bought myself for my birthday was sitting on the front porch. Please pay no attention to the peeling paint around my front door. I really should take care of that.

I dragged the box inside, opened it up and put it together. Out with old and in with the new

The other chair was ok but it had definitely seen better days. I rather like my new one. Just have to sit in it a while to break the seat in.

Not all traditions are good ones.

 One of the Pennsylvania traditions I could do without is the annual St. Patrick's Day snow storm. Looking back I don't know if we've had snow that day every year or not but this we did.

It started the day before and although it wasn't a lot of snow, it was enough to say we got covered again.

The next day we had a little more but it still didn't amount to much. Just enough to say, "I thought we were finally moving into spring and this comes along."
