A few treasures found

I can't believe I am posting early today. The thing is, I am still adjusting to the nighttime med so I am trying to be awake and let it wear-off gently..... not that I have any place to go or anything to do today. However, I plan to work on the doll clothes now that she had her head on straight!
Yesterday Glenda and Don had a garage sale

I just had to have this nice white table to put in this spot. I am deciding on whether to fully cover it with a topper or just a doily of sorts. Still thinking on it. I also found

this lovely baby gown...one of three. I got all 3 of them and will change them out often. It needs a pressing and I will do that today when I press the fabric for the dolls clothes. Love finding treasures. I think I will walk over today to see if they put anything new out...
Love to see the hummer enjoying the flowers

Nice to be able to watch him from the kitchen window at the Red Lips Salvia. His wings beating ever so fast! They are so entertaining. Right Now the only entertainment I want is a cup of coffee and some toast. So I guess it is time to sign off. Glad you stopped by. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

*did you know that The Brother Alan will be here on March 6th?*

The 2 day Garage Sale

I have not stopped at garage sales and only recently started to go to thrift stores for the cute little chairs. Glenda and Don invited me to bring my goods to their garage as I live at the end of the community and no vehicle traffic save for the one other homeowner who lives in the same driveway. Also, my garage and outside area is in full sun all day. The weather was delightful each morning with a light breeze. We began Thursday and Friday at 7 am and closed at 1 pm. I did not have lots to sell but wanted to rid the garage cupboards and shelves of stuff that I will not use.

The buyers are of all types....dealers, neighbors looking to see what there is and then the ones who want to deal. They drive up in SUVs, trucks, Smart cars and motorcycles and yes the dreaded golf carts. I really hate the golf carts in general. These are the Sun City people who want to drive them everywhere and are generally in the way. Thank goodness they are only allowed to drive on the surface streets and not the main roads.  A few times Glenda and I watched with concern as the buyers drove practically up into the displays. We even had the drive buy shoppers; they roll right up next to the tables  but remain in the car. A couple in a golf cart drove up and bought one of the desk chairs I was selling and loaded it onto the back of the golf cart...it was almost too big to bungee cord on the back! One gentleman drove up in his truck and I thought he was a walking bar...the aroma of booze was over powering. I definitely stood by Don while he was around. Then of course there are the people who really want what you have for next to nothing or even for free. The best part of the days, not counting the money we made was the time we sat together and laughed and chatted. Glenda made breakfast and yes supplied fresh coffee. I came home Friday afternoon with a bit more cash and less for the garage. Al took some of what I did not want to keep to charity along with some of his stuff.
I talked with the landscaper Robert who will come by on Monday to trim some of the bushes and look into why I have these irrigation leaks. In the meantime, I plan to do nothing at all today and Sunday. Monday is my ultra sound and fingers crossed that all will be okay. Oh I should tell you...the never-ending -garage of mine is still giving me surprises. I thought I found another hedge trimmer but instead it is a new Toro leaf blower! Denny really was prepared. Guess what I will add to the table at the next garage sale. Did I say next sale???? 

Missing me?

Sorry I have been out of the loop. I spent Wednesday getting ready for Thursday and Thursday getting ready for today. Why you ask? Well I joined Glenda and Don and Al for a Garage Sale over at their place (next courtyard) and so ...remind me why I do not do these sales.
We are ready at 7 am and close at 1 PM.....long day sitting outside. Lucky for us the weather was wonderful and shoppers were okay. Not booming business, but if I can rid my garage of some items then I am okay. The rest will go to charity. Remind me why I do not do these sales.
Glenda fed me coffee and bagel for breakfast and then ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. The best part of the day was the fact that we enjoyed chatting and of course the good weather.
When I finally got back home it was tend to the pond and the garden. By this time it was very warm and I was to tired  so then it was inside for relaxation. So I am off to finish my cup of tea and get dressed for another 6 hours of outdoors. Results posted tomorrow and back to normal by the weekend.
Today is Friday the 13th!
