Thrift Shopping in Whitehorse

  I think I forgot to mention that I went thrift shopping while in

Whitehorse. The only 'good' place to go is the Salvation Army

store. And  using the word 'good' is really relative to the fact

that the three other re-sale shops are mostly clothing! But I'm

not complaining, I came away with several hard back books

 for only$.20 and this retro tablecloth. I love the red and blues in it!

And this pineapple crocheted tablecloth was just $4.50. I can't even imagine

the hours that were spent hooking this one. It is nearly as large as a full-sized

bed.

I'm not really sure what use I'll have for this floral

napkin, but for a quarter I'll find some way to repurpose it.

And there was no way I was passing up this retro fabric either.

Don't you think it will look nice with the old sheets I'm collecting to make

patchwork curtains for my g'daughter's bedroom? I left them all

at home, of course. So it's going to have to be a winter project for

me now.

This is my choice for my next crocheting challenge. I haven't

started on it because my boss isn't keeping the wi-fi turned on

everyday. And, of course the pattern was on-line. I've since

uploaded it to documents.

I've had to ask him twice to flip it on so I could call

Eli on his birthday and so I could order Mother's Day gifts.

Besides that, if a computer had a picture tube, I would say mine

is going on my lap-top. After I've used it for a while it starts getting

broad, black lines moving over the screen and then eventually the

whole screen fades out. Has anyone ever experienced this before?

Do you know if it's fixable? It may be cheaper to buy a new one than

to get this one repaired, I'm thinking. If any of you have any advice

I'd so.... appreciate it! You know I'd never survive out here in the

wilderness without a connection to my family and friends!

Still keeping my head above water!
