Welcome to the Ann Tucker Blog!

Welcome to my personal blog. Thanks to my son for building this neat blog page. I decided I wanted to give my thoughts and words to the world and hope they have some meaning and memories to grandparents (and others) everywhere. I am a retired civil servant (35.5 years with the Department of the Air Force), mother of two and grandmother of five. My maiden name was Scaling and I was married to Tilford N. Tucker. I raised and put two great children through college so I have a lot of experiences to build on. After retirement I became a webmaster (working for my son) for some of our family websites: ShaggyDuck
Have a fun time and a great day, bookmark this site and come back often!!!!

The Mother Lode Weekend



More Today's Thrifty Treasures

This was a terrific garage sale weekend!!!
The Fall hanging door decoration was $3.
The green box below was a $2 bargain. Then
my prized buy for the day was the bench
saying Winter Welcome for ONLY $15. I
have seen those for over $100 at a craft show.
I got the holiday bird house made from some
old wood for $3 and can you believe it but
the snow man picture w/barn wood frame
was a mere $2. The Christmas fireplace
cover was $5 as was the 6' wood Christmas
tree with light. That is perfect for outside by
my nighttime lamp. The basket was 25 cents
and will look darling with a big holiday bow
attached. I can switch out the bows for
different holidays. Thanks for stopping by!

You got some great finds. You are well prepared for Winter decor. :) I don't even want to think about Winter and the miserable cold.

Wow Ann, you did get some great finds. I went to one yard sale on Saturday and bought Savannah a big Mickey Mouse for $10... she loves him and he's almost as big as she is.

I always have to check out your newest "finds" when I come over here. The World's Longest Yard Sale went on all week last week and passes through my town. I went on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. By Sunday it was all picked over and most were closing up shop. It was so hot and humid Saturday that I did not get out and I had my grandson with me. I found some good buys in local neighborhoods but the vendors were really high that set up on the highway and in fields. Mostly, I buy TW toys and I did buy a garden basket but I love looking. You always get such great buys.
