It's garage sale day, my favorite day of the week. This is my sacred day where I never schedule a house to clean or anything else that will interfere with my mission to find something I didn't know I needed until I saw it. When the grandkids are here, they enjoy treasure hunting with me. They get a set amount to spend, but I have veto power. My pole shed can only hold so much junque.
Dave sometimes calls home during the day to ask what's new. Often, I am so excited about my latest acquisition that I send him a picture before he has a chance to call. I sent him a picture of girlfriend and myself standing next to the coffin I dragged home last winter. Then there is this thing that I don't know what it is, but I needed it for my Opium Room.
Today, my favorite find is a Green Bay Packer's jacket for Bubba, who is almost five. Dave hates the Packers. His favorite team is whoever they are playing. His other team is the Vikings, so when there is a border brawl, we usually have bets on the game. Vikings suck.
I also found some gunny sacks for the kids to use on the three slides in the yard. More faster is more better. Two of the slides come off the top of the playhouse and the other is off the treehouse. I found a one dollar plunger to put in the rental bathroom, just in case. Then there are the four Halloween trick or treat pumpkins that I already have a ton of. I am collecting them to make a doorway arch for my annual Witches Ball..
And, there are three new pillow forms that I will cover with clothing worn by Dave's daughter who died from MS last year. I'm sure her three young girls will like these memory pillows. They will each get a matching memory blanket. That is a winter project. Summer is for garage-saling, motorcycling, digging in the dirt and drinking beer.
