Lets get on the bus.
Here we are at the Activity Center
This looks like it’s going to be good.
Got your Halloween decorations.
Ganes, clothes, and La Crosse helmets (You do play don’t you?)
Here is a little bit of everything
Ceramics and pottery.
Rings, beads, and things.
This looks interesting. Wooden long horn skull, Skate board and Marty McFly poster.
Either a big joke or we need to call 9-1-1. Lamps, sleds, and Minnie mouse.
Sports anyone? Putters, rackets, and poker chips.
Here you go. A Bavaria Alp dinner service for eight, swan bowl, dog crate and trike.
Some hardware including fire screens, Birdcage, frame, and bench for faries
Unusal lamps made from other things like a french horn
Lamps of the past and future. I love the movie projector lamp.
More lamps. One of a shoe and one a saw.
Well if you are like me I think we have had enough of the garage sale. Relax now and enjoy the music and food.

Good food, good music, and good fun! I love garage sales!

Looks like a little bit of everything, John. Our neighborhood yard sale was this weekend, but we were gone most of the day to a bourbon festival you would have enjoyed immensely. I was in line to sample a 12 year Willett, but they ran out before I reached the front. Had to settle for Blanton’s instead.
