Rummage sale
Lately I have been trying to conserve on
gasoline, so I have been planning my
trips out in advance inorder to hit as
many destinations in the shorterst
trajectory possible.
So first I went and paid for my Spring buffet because the
cutoff date for reservations is next Tuesday.
Many of us are attending and looking forward to the catering
food, as they have a great reputation in our area, so I know
we won’t be disappointed in the buffet they is preparing.
The after buffet speaker is coming from some distance
away just to speak.
From there driving time took me to the church where the
rummage sale was supposed to be. There was a sign in the
parking lot, but nobody was there. One car parked and one
leaving. Slowly. I circled the parking lot thinking maybe the
sale was on the other side or maybe it was a church across
the street and for some crazy reason they’d put the sign at
the entrance to this parking lot. I knew I had the time right.
As I was leaving a truck pulled in, slowly circled the lot and
left behind me. The sign? Says it’s next week. Arghhh! I
was not happy. That was the reason I went up there.
After that I was in no mood to hunt down regular yard sales,
and didn’t want to spend any more gas.
I went to a favorite fish and chips place to toss them a
little business. But good news- they were busy. I really
like the owners, so I was glad for them.
Had my eye on some pie, but decided the poundage might
be too much for me. So I decided to wait til next time I
eat there, and maybe I can save up some calories for their
pecan pie.
The best thing about today is that it was a gorgeous weather,
which I am ready for.
When I was out, I treated myself to my very favorite
chicken salad from the Safeway deli for dinner, with home
made (Safeway made) sweet grilled pickles (try it!). Can’t
wait til it’s time for supper!
In a couple days it’s the home show. Maybe this one will
be better than the last one. Last time they were really
going for lower end customers. Stuff like mops. I couldn’t
figure out why they didn’t stick with the more upscale
home decor stuff like previously. Anyway, we’ll see what
they come up with this year. I’d love to shop for a hot
tub again… even though I never buy one. Do you know
how much those hot tubs cost???
Gotta go a dress I found in the back of the closet a couple
of weeks ago. And I need to get a few things packed and
ready to donate to the thrift store.
