Garage Sales

Here I am again over at Karen's house on a Friday evening!
I told you all that I wasn't going to the garage sales last Saturday. Karen came by for Nancy and me on Saturday morning. We went to a few sales and she stopped and got us some food and away we went again. My friend Cinda, was having a sale at her folks home. Her parents passed a aways a few years ago. Cinda gave Nancy some nice Christmas decorations and some Precious Moments figurines. She gave me some too that belong to her Mother. I treasure these
Cinda's Mom was one of my dear friend.
We stopped again at a church bake sale and Nancy was just buzzing! She had a hamburger and I had a hot dog! I don't think I am suppose to have them. I have lost 18 pounds!
On to some more sales and then stopped at a friends sale who I went to school with, back in the fifty's. They were having a bake sale with the VFW. Karen got us cookies there! When we got home, Kelly was home for lunch, she had to work Saturday! When she heard all the places we had stopped to get goodies at she just cracked up!!
You all didn't go to garage sales you went to all the bake sales!!! Well it just made Nancy so happy!!

I am sure praying Psalms 91 over my family in Mexico! My daughter, son-in law, 3 grandsons, two grand daughter in laws, and 4 great-grand children live down there. Karen had an E-mail from my grand-daughter and there is no hand sanitizer to be found any where.

I am sure hoping some time this month I get a computer!!!

City Wide Garage Sale Saturday !

I had a great day yesterday! It was our City wide garage sale day!! I don't need to go out and find stuff like I used to when Kelly was a little girl. I just like to get out and about!! Karen drove up at 9:00 and we were off to see what we could find!!
Nancy, my special needs daughter had told me "Find me Christmas things"!! I know they have some Christmas things out but usually large decorations she wouldn't care about. At the first place I hit the jack pot!!
Not before I scarred Karen!! She had given me money to have fun with and I had it in my slacks pocket and move it to my hand and then I am talking ( some would say Well, that's a stretch ) LOL I said I can't find my money!!! Karen looked where I had been standing and it wasn't there. She said, "Did you look in your pocket"? Yes! Yes! I have, it is not there!! I looked it my jacket and it was at the top almost falling out and I was so relived and happy! By the way Karen took the money like I might lose it!! LOL
The lady at this place had a box of ornaments that were just right for Nancy to sit and go through! She just Loved them!! They are so cute !
Karen stopped at a church where they were selling goodies and I had a brat and it was very good!! More garage sales and then at the top the hill where I lived when I was married, we went around the corner and I said I wonder if my friend Jackie is out going to garage sales this morning! Karen said ,"No she is having one!! I got out of the truck and would you believe a bunch of ladies from the church and prayer groups we all went to over 30 years ago were sitting in lawn chairs visiting and had put stuff in her garage sale!! They got another lawn chair for me and I sit and visited with my friends for quite a while and WOW what fun this was for me!! I think we all enjoyed this because we all have gone through a long winter and what a beautiful day and beautiful friends to be with!!
I felt so blessed to see every one!! Catching up on every one news it always fun!! I told them" Oh, I wish we had Karen's camera and I would take a picture and you all would be in my blog!"!! Then Karen said, No one is safe with Mom blogging!!!! I said, "You know my family tells me "MOM don't blog about that" !! In fact my daughter in Mexico has even said "Now,Mom that not for your blog!! By this time every one is laughing and teasing me!!
Karen took me out to Wal-Mart,out to her house and then home!!! In the evening we had our friend Linda over and she fixed supper for all of us!! It was so good!! All in all we had a great Saturday!!!
