GARAGE SALE SEASON

It's that time of Spring Again. Garage and Estate Sales are everywhere. But early June is the hardest time of all for me; that's when the upscale neighborhoods hold their combined weekend sales and the pickin's are easy and close together. We'll sample a couple this afternoon and maybe a couple more Saturday morning. And today the annual church sale begins; that one raises funds to pay for several houses the team builds in Mexico each year. Gotta go check that one out this afternoon. Wanna come along?

[Later. Here is the loot tally: 4 small DeGrazia refrigerator magnets for the collection, an expandable gate for the top of the stairs when Eli and Lucas come to see us, 4 books (a commentary on four N.T. epistles, an Egermier's Bible Story book {think Eli again}, a Japanese fairytale storybook, and "Forgiven" - reflections on Thomas Blackshear II's painting by the same title), a pair of clip-on sunglasses for me, a classical painter's palette for plein air, a partial oil painter's kit for the unused materials in it, a couple of animal puzzles for, mmmm, yup!, Eli again! Sox and jeans for Lucas, and a few little useful odds and ends. Total costs: $11.00 and small change. Cheaper than a movie without popcorn! Not a major haul, but almost four hours of fun and visiting with neighborhood folk and seeing a few friends at the church-lot sale. And... AND... AND... it didn't rain!!!]
