The Day the Computer Died

Unfortunately my computer died on Monday. It was pretty old and hasn't been sounding good for quite some time, so it wasn't a big surprise. I also store all my files on an external backup hard drive so at least I didn't lose any files. However... now I am without a computer for a while. (I am borrowing my husband's laptop at the moment while he plays video games.) I do have an older computer at my parents house (10 years old) that I may use for awhile, but I think I will have to invest in a new computer eventually. Anyway, may the computer RIP. It is feeling like Halloween already!

Well, as for thrifting, garage sales last weekend were a bust. I found absolutely nothing.

It was a very pretty day though!

 Yah... I probably shouldn't have been taking pictures out the window while driving...
Anyway, I had better luck on Monday when I went to the Goodwill. I actually had to use a cart!

I found three Springbok puzzles from the 80s - I LOVE those puzzles. The pieces hold together really well and are all different interesting shapes. I hate puzzles that all seem to have the same piece shape. These three puzzles were all super cool too. I am in love with the two bird puzzles especially.

The little Halloween bucket is pretty cute too! It is marked 1986 and comes with a little lid. Boo!

I have a bunch of other things I'd like to post about, but I'll have to save it until I have a functioning computer to call my own again.
