The two on the left are the ones of mine Kimmy took home and Jared shined them up like new. If you zoom in on my picture you will see how bad they were.
I packed flavored waters, chips, animal crackers, and cheese and headed to meet Kimmy, Vikki, Peyton, and Hailey in Freeland to go to garage sales during the Walleye Fest. We all rode in Kimmy’s van. I prayed before we started shopping that God would bless us with lots of good stuff and great deals. We didn’t get anything at the first garage sale, but we sure did get lots at the second one. We saw Maddy, the kids and her mom at that garage sale. Brielle was pointing to a doll and saying baby. I asked Maddy if I could get it for her and she said yes. Brielle was so happy. It was a girl doll, a baby doll, and a bag of stuff to go with them, all for $5. We were there for quite a while, and Kenzie called and said she was in Freeland, so we gave her directions to where we were. She came and we walked to where she was by Kimmy’s van. We got the stroller Vikki brought out of the van and put Rehvyn in it. He went the whole day without fussing at all and just enjoying the ride. I love my happy boy so much. Kenzie, Hailey and Peyton took Rehvyn and they went ahead of us. We were too slow for them and definitely looking for different things than they were. They walked around the whole area and we were still on the same road in the subdivision we had started on. We found stuff at just about every garage sale we stopped at. We’ve never had such good shopping and great finds. Kenzie found lots of stuff she liked too. Hailey found a nice Garman watch for $20. She was a little nervous that it wouldn’t worked because it wasn’t charged, but she asked Kenzie to pray it would work so she got it. We finished shopping in that subdivision and had lots of stuff already. We went to the school across the road and used their port a potty which was nice and clean. We went and got Frappe’s at McDonalds for Vikki and I and then parked at Jimmy Johns until Kenzie drove and parked next to us. We headed to a nice subdivision Vikki knew of that a couple from our church live in. We found lots more stuff, including two round heavy end tables for Vikki, and a Bike for Isaac. We also had lots more in there. It’s amazing how much we packed in it. We went to Leamons and ate lunch. Kimmy made PB&J sandwiches for all of us, I had the stuff I brought to share and Vikki brought us dessert. We each got a small can of Dole Pineapple chunks. Yum! Everything was so good. We used their porta potty too and then shopped at more garage sales. We took Vikki to her car because she had to go to therapy. Bill was a huge blessing because he took Isaac to school and picked him up for us later. He took him to Culver’s too. Hailey let us know her watch worked great ad she was so happy. So were we. Kimmy and I did more shopping, but we went to a subdivision that we had always went to and Vikki said it wouldn’t have much. She was right!!! We didn’t find anything to buy there. We went to a couple more in the country a few miles from our house. Didn’t find anything there either even though they were huge garage sales. We ended up making to one on our road which had closed but didn’t take their sign down. They let us walk through anyhow. We talked to them for a while when we were looking at knives and other old things they had in a case. Kimmy bought a brass spicket for her hose. Yay, we could tell Vikki we bought something. The couple’s names were Linda and Bob and they had only lived there for 2 years. When I told them we were neighbors and what house we lived in, Bob said he thought my husband was there earlier. We found out he was after talking a few more minutes. We headed home then and unloaded everything. Kimmy’s phone rang and I saw it said Mom Russell, so I answered it. Lela was surprised it was me. We talked while I took the phone out to Kimmy. She was on speaker so we all talked to her. It was so nice! She wanted to see our great find of the day, so I sent her my pictures. I made us coffees in the new Keurig and it worked great. Vikki made hers. We drank our coffees, then the girls went to the shed and cleaned up the wood tops of Vikki’ s end tables. She left, and Kimmy and I tried the sprinkler out which worked great. She tried her spicket out and it worked great too. Bill took Kmmy and I for a nice ride in the Jeep with the screen top over us. We had so much fun. After Kimmy left, I FaceTimed with Kenzie and Rehvyn for a long time, then I talked to Marie for a while and then I texted Maddy for a while and sent her pictures of my deals of the day. I read my Bible after that, while listening to it on my Bible app.
Worked on the blog after that. Going shopping again tomorrow... meeting at 8. It’s midnight!
