Estate Day

Yup! First estate sale of the season and my was it a doozy!

It started at 8 o'clock and they were passing out numbers. 

 We did not get there until 11 o'clock and some people had been waiting since 10 o'clock!  It was hysterical I've never had to wait to get into a house to look at other people stuff before in my life ha ha!!

Here are our numbers. 

And they weren't 44. 

The line. 

Once we got inside it was worth it. 

A mother and daughter had lived in the house together the mother got married and the daughter and she decided they would just leave the stuff and move out, and have an estate sale. 

I felt a lot better after I learned the story. Because, at first glance it looked like the people had just up and died and I felt a little morbid going through their stuff ,but knowing they wanted us to made me feel much better!

They collected doll stuff - need I say more? 

Seriously a lot of collecting, but it will pay off for them to sell it.  They must have moved into a "Tiny House" to leave so much behind LOL. 

I did buy some nice things for our house, no doll stuff, I have enough of my own !!!

See yah. 

A Bike & A Burger

A photo glimpse of my day. 

Ride to the library, against the wind of course, Gods way of kicking up my workout LOL. 

I'm trying to warm up in the sun, it's not working. 

Saw a few little friends on the way home, so I just had to stop and take a pic. They didn't seem to care. 

After our siesta, we were off to do some thrifting. 

On our way home we decided to try the Steak and Shake restaurant here.  

I guess they have been around since the thirties?

Boy were they good! And the shake was unbelievable !!!!  Charlie got strawberry banana, it had real fresh strawberries and bananas in it!!! WOW!! 

A great day all the way around!! 

Se ya. 

Dear Mark,

For those of you that are new here. This post is called Dear Mark in reference to a letter that would be sent to him.  

This will  satisfy and answer his ever curious inquisitive mind as to what I do on the weekends. 

Saturday I took a bike ride to ridge wood road, it's a long ride(45min). There is a dollar General store there that I really wanted to go to. 

I cut through Reed Canale Park, it was really windy but pretty! 

Here is the Canale. 

They have a cute little bridge that goes over it. 

When I got back 2 hrs later Charlie and I took a siesta.  No more naps! Siestas for us from now on. 

This is what I saw. 

Later that day we went shopping and Charlie bought chicken and barbecued it for us! YUM!!!

Here's the meal. The red stuff is ketchup on my mashed potatoes. 

Sun day was the regular routine- church and a slow quiet afternoon. 

Byefornow. 

Rolex 24

That's big news in our town. 

Saturday and Sunday for 24 hrs they will be racing at the speedway.  

Not that any of us locals could forget, it's all we will hear.  

But, it is interesting. In a round and round kinda way. LOL

We drove over to international dr for dinner.  I must have had a filter on these shots looks like I took them in the 70s. 

You can see part of the bleachers from a back road. 

They have lots of construction going on. 

This was on our way home - you can see the race notice. 

Tonight we are supposed to get a storm we've been waiting all day for rain, if it doesn't come I'll have to use the hose tomorrow. 

See yah. 

Writing Day

Not much to tell today.  I spent quite a bit of time catching up on my pen pal letters. 

One is not there, but three went out today, phew!  I was glad to finally get caught up. 

Byefornow 

Dear Mark,

What a great relaxing weekend I had. 

First of all some of the seeds are sprouting :

Peas. 

Lettuce, and if you look really close in the upper center you will see a little lizard, his tail is short must have had a close call with the turkey. 

I listened to some old "Besse Smith" music and enjoyed a cigar- complements of my brother David.  He of course was also enjoying a cigar at the TOP of the United States on the coast of Maine, above Bar Harbor - we have the US east coast covered. LOL

Here he is, and if you look close he's smoking a "Sons of Aranchy" cigar!  Where does he get these things???  I'm so out of the loop, but my cigar was a "Diesel" nothing to sneez at. 

To top off the weekend we bought some excellent cheep gas, Whoot Whoot!!!! 

Good chatting- stay safe. 

A Blustery Day

Today we took a drive down to New Symerna To chech out their thrift store and beaches. 

The thrift store was nice but the furniture was expensive. We are sorta looking for a small piece to go in the living room for an end table storage unit. 

So, on to the beach, just to check it out.

These guys looked....

    The way I felt. 

Cold!!! 

It was very windy, and I think the wind was blowing straight down from New York!!!!

So we took our cue from the birds.......

And left for home!!!
