AuburnChick's Adventures

Despite Chicky’s comment that Your’s Truly is now an old lady, I scrounged up some grey matter and managed to do really good at the grocery store yesterday.

First off, here’s the loot I came home with…

Don’t recognize the table?  Well, that’s because it’s my dining room table.  I brought home so much stuff that I didn’t have room for it on the kitchen table.

Here are a few close-ups of what I got…
