April 8th, Photo-A-Day Treasure
Today’s Photo-A-Day is Treasure. Wayyyyyyy back when The Husband and I went through a time; like everyone does where you struggle to make ends meet. Like send the electric bill to the the phone bill people just to try and stretch out the time before the phones went dead. It was Christmas time and we were struggling to put presents under the tree. I hit every Goodwill, Amvets, and thrift store within a 25 miles radius. I washed, ironed and wrapped presents. I made toys. We really stretched our budget to the max for Christmas. Then I did something sooooooooo stupid. I used a large portion of my budget for a (at the time) very frivolous purchase at a thrift store. I mean, I had NO BUSINESS buying this! What was it? Well, a picture. A beautifully framed picture. I swear I walked away from the picture TWICE!! Then as I walked away the third time I saw another lady EYEING MY PICTURE!!!! The competitive, stupid me kicked in and I snatched up this picture. $25 DONE. It’s mine. I know that $25 doesn’t sound like a ton of money but when you are really broke and it’s Christmas time…
