Views of the Neighborhood – Lakeway Garage Sale at the Activity Center.

~ John W. Howell

We are going to go and hunt for bargains today. The bus is taking us to the Activity Center, where the Lakeway Garage sale is being held. The sale is from 8:00 to 12:00, so we will have brunch after we’ve seen the sights. Today’s brunch is being catered by Elizabeth Street Cafe. Our entertainment is Pink.

So, get on the bus.

Here we are at the Lakeway Activities Center.

There are ceramics.

Records.

Aisles of stuff.

More around the corner.

Totes, boxes, and people. The bag to the right says, “Life is Better in Flipflops.”

There are some now.

Treasures.

Furniture.

Aw.

American Flyer and Kraft shortening.

Lots of traffic today.

Well, that’s about it. Have some brunch, relax, and listen to Pink.

  9. Noticed the local garage sales have had tons more stuff than previous years. Guessing people had a lot of stuff build up last year since they didn’t do those. Strollers are always a good find for people since they’re typically expensive.

  11. Looks like fun, John. I hope you found a treasure or two. Because of our recent moves, I’m leary of purchasing anything — though I did spot a wine rack. A necessity, don’t you think? 😊

  13. I guess it’s true that “one man’s trash is another’s treasure,” huh, John? Lots of stuff in that sale. I’m pretty sure I could’ve added stuff to it. And what a great way to encourage residents to share!

  14. I went to a carboot sale this morning too. Missed out on a maiden (not of the Iron variety, meant to take my excess washing to air out) and a nice looking office chair. Prevarication doesn’t pay. I hope you found something nice. My brother and I followed up with roast beef lunch at The Bells of St. Mary’s,.a rather cool old pub. I hope your meal was enjoyable. Mike got a Black & Decker workmate very cheaply to take home tonight. Not sure if the song had any significance but I enjoyed it thanks.

  19. Our local bazaar was canceled last year, John, and this year is up in the air. That looks like so much fun. I love browsing, especially the odd furniture items and the crafty stuff. Oooh and ceramics. Lol. Looks like a fun day.

  22. Delicious menu, John, and how fun! Our county fair and town festival have been canceled 2 years in a row now. We miss them! Hopefully, next year things will be better and they’ll be open for business. Great song, too! 🥰🎶
