Day One of the Sale

We just finished day one of the sale. I found a cast iron skillet, some glassware for my daughter to paint and some Dismey movies for my grandchildren. Went to signal mountain. The scenery was unbelievable and the people were very friendly. Cathy got a cup and saucer,a couple of candle holders and some plates for a craft she is planning. Went to Gengis Grill for dinner. Having cherry pie for desert since it's my birthday. It has been a good day!

Finally, We Leave In 2 Days

Two days to go before we leave. Bags are packed, snacks are bought and we (again I say it) can't wait to get on the road. We have birthday dinner tonight. I am enjoying my grandchildren, daughter and son in law, here from NC. Their visit will make the wait til Wednesday easier.

10 Days To Go

Only ten days left til we leave. I got the car serviced for the trip. I had to have some things fixed that I didn't expect,but I knew the repairs were coming,so it is just as well done before the trip.
I Ordered a shopping cart for our loot. It's
better than I thought it would be. My husband put it together and it's already in the trunk.
I fear that it will be a long week at work. I will be busy because it is the end of the month. Hopefully being busy will help.

15 days to go

I'm a little concerned about the heat wave that is socking it to the middle of the country.  It's hot here too, but I hear that people are actually dieing from the weather.  The world is strange these days. I'm still excited about the trip. We will take plenty of bottled water and pace ourselves.  We will be fine. Texted with an old friend from high school this morning.  He lives in Fort Payne, Alabama and wants to have dinner the night we are in town.  The yard sale goes right through there. He told me about the golf clubs he got for a steal on year.  It should be fun to see an old friend and catch up.

16 More Days

16 more days until we leave.  People at work are asking to look for things like plastic Smurf toys. I guess I better make a list so I won't forget. Some people shake their heads and others act like they want to go too. I think it will be an experience that we won't forget. Looking forward to it.
