FREE Stuff

I  mentioned my free souvenirs ... here's the skinny.  No time to shop on the island, but I got a few fun things anyway.

The beaches are COVERED with the coolest rocks.  They are round, polished, speckled and EVERYWHERE!  The rocks with the striping are specific to the Bay of Fundy.  I'm in search of a vintage glass dish to display them (I love antique hunting).  If I could have brought back a full suitcase of them, I would have.  These were collected in dog poop bags (that's all we had on us) and got my suitcase opened for inspection.  Bags ripped, rocks all over.  Oh well!

It's addictive to search for these!  My neck was kinked from looking down for so long.
It's a "thing" to find heart shaped rocks.

And a gift from my aunt.  The previous cottage owner had some vintage dishes.  My aunt gave me a set of the juice glasses.  I love them.  It's kind of the rage to serve wine in juice glasses now.  I didn't waste anytime trying them out lol.  Everything circles back to wine.  Oops.

Cute! 
I would've loved to shop for some local finds, but FREE works too.

Sadly, I don't know if I'll ever go back to Campobello Island.  It's a full day of travel and lots of $$ too.  I left the house at 4:15am and got on the island at 6:30pm.  And that was the best option.  The trip was on My Happiness Project list and I'm glad I got the experience.

Speaking of My Happiness Project ... it's coming to a wrap.  Time to move on, write another chapter.  Facebook reminded me of this - last day of work - it's been a year.  Ugh.


It's time to get my poop-in-a-group too (broken record).  Looking at the picture (I'm far right), I'm healthy, happy ... cruising on my life improvement project.  Today, not so much.  My weight is up, my feel-good is down, my focus is confused, my mood is gloomy.  I'm trying to fix it, but I'm not getting very far.  I fake it for a few days, then it comes crashing down again.  Ugh and double ugh.  Where is the magic that was in this picture?

I'm tired I've doing this over and over.  I'm tired of the same rhetoric repeated too often.  But what is the solution?  I'm playing with back-to-basics ideas.  Stay tuned ...
