Cranberry Lotion The story behind this: Danny bought it for Dad. The coupon was for "free with any purchase". The purchase was the box that held the lotion, which was $1. Go Danny. |
Tim and Dad I think we're related. |
Tim and Dad, II I'm trying to smile, Beth, I really am... |

Kiwifruit Coasters Dad was amused by this most excellent of garage sale purchases. |
Kiwifruit Loot I got Dad a whole pile of the stuff, really. I think more came later... |
Chew Toy for Bridget She apparently tore this thing apart within an hour of getting it. I wasn't shocked. (Is this the only picture I got of Margaret?) |
Matching Socks Celeste got socks; I felt compelled to try them on, and this is what came of it. |

Rob and Beth Rob's in focus, anyway. |
