Saturday!

I made it out this morning! There was a rummage sale at the church on Main St. I hauled Oscar out of a cozy bed and we stood in line with 30 other people at 7:55 AM on a chilly, brisk October morning. In line with me were Peggy, the Supreme Front Yard Gardener of SH Blvd, and Vanessa, the Crossing Guard Diva at SHS.

I bought two wool sweaters for crafts and four mini-muffin tins for storage of small things like beads and earrings.

On the way home we found a poorly advertised skiv on Windsor, in the winding wilderness between Main and 161. Oscar got a battery powered car and I bought a big enamelware kettle which I will use to hold the Halloween candy next weekend. Oscar found an owl figurine which I photographed for my upcoming and long-awaited essay "Owls for Sale: the knickknacks no one wants anymore."

We will have to highlight thrift shop bargains for the next 6 months. This is getting pitiful.

    This is very sad, girls. I cannot take the low energy vibe. You MUST come up with an equally exciting winter pastime! Your fans await.

    Thanks, Sara, but the heck IS there in the freezing wilderness of Illinois?
    Can't wait for the owl essay, Nan!
