Thrifty Fun

Some of you have asked about the

red stool. It has made a couple of

appearances on the blog recently.

It came from a Barn Sale that Mr.

Ken and I went to earlier this month.

I almost left it, I'm glad I didn't

since it fits perfectly on our porch

AND the price was right--$ 20.00!

The items on the stool came from

the same sale. I bought Mr. Ken

the antique level, which is currently

living on our TV. I alos got some

kids blocks and a silver cream

pitcher.

This is the same sale that we go to

each fall in Oak Grove, MO.

It's Pumpkin Time!

Pumpkins...These are one of my favorite things about Fall. ***The largest pumpkin ever grown weighed 1,140 pounds! ***Pumpkins are 90% water. ***Pumpkin flowers are edible. ***Native Americans flattened strips of pumpkins, dried them and made mats out of them. ***Pumpkins WERE ONCE recommended for removing freckles and curing snake bites. What do you do with the pumpkins you pick??

Pop, Pop, Pop

October is National Popcorn Month! In 1999, then Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman proclaimed it as so. The month of October was chosen because of the popcorn harvest that takes place each fall in the Midwest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fun Facts: *Americans consume around 16 billion quarts of this yummy stuff! *The peak period for popcorn sales is the Fall. For home enjoyment. *Most popcorn comes in two basic shapes---snowflake and mushroom. Movie theatres use the snowflake type and mushroom is used for candy confections because it doesn't crumble. *Popping popcorn is one of the number one uses for the microwave. *Popcorn kernels can pop up to three feet in the air! *If you made a trail of popcorn from NYC to LA, you would need 352,028,160 popped kernels!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brands of Popcorn: Act 11 Jiffy Pop Newman's Own Orville Redenbacher's Pop Secret Smart Balance ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is your favorite popcorn? ~Keep on Dreaming~ READER ALERT: BLOGGER HAS HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN!!
