   A  Pleasant day yesterday.  Ocean State Job Lots had a big sale on summer things.  I went in early.  I got 5 planters, they were pretty well picked over.  I also got a new outdoor carpet for under the picnic table.  We had been given a new, very pretty plastic one this spring.  It disintegrated into plastic strands we are still picking up.  The best deal was 4 very nice stools for the kitchen island at a yard sale on the way home.  I pulled bamboo shoots in the afternoon.

    In the afternoon Bekah went to Isabella's birthday party at her mother's.  She stopped at Ocean State.  Among other things she got some Fisker's tools.

    Church this morning, not sure what the afternoon will bring.  May your day be blessed, Sally
