Going to Mom and Dad's house is the best, especially in the summer. Not only do I get to hang with my family, but my parents usually load me up with free stuff.
Actually, I should clarify. It usually begins with me asking, "Hey, are you guys gonna use that? Do you have any extra ...? Do you know where I can find ...?
It was about 100 degrees, so after a day in the pontoon as usual, Dad pulled through and brought Tyler and I to a gravel pit near the house. The owner of the gravel pit is one of Dad's neighbors. Dad usually has the inside track on just about anything and isn't afraid to ask. GO DAD!
When we got there you'd think I had found a gold mine, because I was exuding with excitement. We loaded up the car with rocks and they have a new home bordering my flower beds. You can't go wrong with free and I'm all about using natural elements on my house. Next time I go home I'll head back to the gravel pit and load up the car again.
What else did Mom and Dad hook me up with? Mulch and a drill. Merry Christmas to me! I forgot to grab the antique wagon wheel they said I could have, but there's always next time.
Does anyone have any stories about finding free stuff?
