Wow, I wish I liked yard sales. It just took me double the normal time to drive from Hebron to Dogwood Lakes, just past Jacksontown on Route 40. It's National Yard Sale weekend! Many people are careless about where they park and crossing the road so it's a bit of a free for all just getting home. Dogwood Lakes is also having their annual sale so it's even tough on Somerset Road.
Last year I took the grandkids to the yard sales in Hebron. I gave each two bucks and turned them loose. Quinn found a manual portable typewriter in a case, which, of course, we had to carry for the rest of the yard sales. And Kai discovered a plush cat in the hat type hat which he wore the rest of the walk. It was fun, but this year they're out on the lake with Mom and Dad, and I can't get the energy to go by myself after all the fun I had at the first of the month Kroger trip. Segue: Joe seriously used to believe that I enjoyed grocery shopping. That finally ended when he had to do it for me when I was laid up with my knee surgeries. It only took me 44 years to convince him that it's a pain in the butt.
Anyway the typewriter is in the hall closet at my house and I'm not sure what happened to Kai's hat. I am sure there are some great buys out there. There must be! All those people can't be wrong.
