Tanner got back Friday afternoon and after bringing his stuff inside we went down to the Catholic Charities thrift store to check out the couches and bed frame. The one couch we both really liked smelled to much like old cigarettes and we couldn't do it. But then we found another. It's a little bigger than a traditional love seat and it's a grey blue with little yellow flowers on it. It was $45 and came with four small pillows. Ours! We loaded it in the back of Tanner's car (it barely fit) and went back to the apartment. We then went immediately back to the thrift store to pick up the bed frame with the bookshelf headboard. It was $75, down from $90 when it first got there. We felt good about it. We took it apart, got it in the car, picked up dinner, and went back to the apartment. Success!
Liz got here Saturday midday and we went to the last hour of the farmer's market which was still indoors (at the Maine Irish Heritage Center). Liz picked up some cheese spreads and a pesto spread. Tanner and I got raspberry jam, apple cider, three apples, a jar of honey and honey sticks. On April 28th they'll be outside in Monument Square which is very close to our apartment and I can't wait!
We did some errands, bought dinner and snacks and went back to the apartment. I boiled the eggs for decorating and Liz and I filled our plastic eggs with candy for the Easter egg hunt we had today. We ate so much last night and went to bed with full tummies, excited about more candy in the morning!
We decided that each person would get their own room to hunt for eggs and the remaining two would hide for them. It was almost more fun hiding than searching. After we collected our loot and started munching we decorated our eggs!
After much sugar we went downtown even though most stores were closed and got breakfast in a little cafe. It started snowing a little. Sad. It stopped then rained a bit. We went in a few stores but then drove the beach and walked along the shore for over an hour. We saw lots of sea glass (Tanner picked some up for his mom), blue shells, crazy rocks, one little snail and even some chalk. It was very windy and cold but we had a great time exploring things among the rocks. Liz had a wonderful time smashing rocks to find fossils and then she and Tanner skipped stones for a while. On the way back to the car Tanner climbed a tree and then we took Liz back to the bus station. Now we're being lazy (and cold) but happy with our day and ready to eat our candy!
