Opening Day . . .

Today was 'Opening Day!'  The first weekend in April is opening day for advertised garage sales! There is one advertised for today and one for tomorrow.

As you can see, I was far from being one of the first.  I got there just after 8:30.  The sale was advertised for a 9 AM opening.  It was a chilly, rainy first garage sale of the year.  I mentioned opening day to the lady taking money.  She seemed impressed.  

Despite the weather there were more than enough of those dreaded, little, blue-haired ladies to get in everyone's way, especially mine.  I even saw my barber there.  He is closed on Thursdays and likes to wheel and deal a bit, too.  

I found a nice Corning Ware A-3-B 3 qt. covered casserole.  They wanted 5 bucks for it, but they took one of my 4 dollar bills.  Click on my eBay link to left if you want details.  Made the rounds of the local thrift stores and picked up a couple more items.  Donations seem to be increasing as the weather gets better
