As you may recall from yesterday's post, Janie and I went to the Minnekadha Vista neighborhood of Minneapolis to see if their community sale was any good.

Yesterday it was just plain lovely out. Janie and I started at a couple of church rummage sales and then just wandered looking for signs. This is not by preferred method, but not seeing any . . .
