The Blosser Rd. Garage Sales were yesterday. I checked out over 20 locations. It seems like Blosser Rd. has pretty much the same people each year with a bit less to sell. The pickens were pretty slim for me.
At one sale myself and an older than me gentleman were walkin up to the garage. The lady in charge (one of those dreaded, not so little blue-haired types) said very firmly that she didn't have anything for guys. This slowed down the other guy. I went into the garage to look anyway. I'm figgerin she is more scared of me than I am of her. Anyway, I found a glass lid for a quarter. It is one of the sizes that I never have enough of. When I offered the lady my quarter, she asked very seriously and sternly if I had a pan to fit it. I answered in the affirmative. In fact I have several Corning Ware pans that need that lid. If I had not been in the process of giving her my quarter, I would have offered twenty cents just to give her something to be grumpy about. Jeeezzzz!
As it turned out, that was the only purchase I made all morning . . . a quarter for an 8 inch square pyrex lid, which is a deal. I'm glad to pay up to a dollar for a lid.
At another sale, a grandpa, mom and a probably less than two year old little girl were leaving. The little girl found a huge, stuffed pony type animal. She latched onto it and wouldn't give it up. It seemed as big or bigger than she. Mom couldn't talk her out of it. Her and grandpa couldn't pry her little fingers loose. Mom picked her up and tried to shake the stuffed pony loose. Grandpa grabbed hold of the pony and pulled while mom held onto the little girl. She was determined to take that animal home. Mom finally pried her loose somehow and convince her to leave it. I thought the little girl was going to be going to the car screaming. But to my amazement and the people in charge of the sale, she went quietly. It is amazing at times at how little kids are attracted to stuffed animals.
