Janie decided to work this Saturday, and had to be to work at 10. So no yard sales for her, right? We found a way around that.

What a beautiful day today was! The fact that it rained on and off meant nothing to me. It was deliciously humid and a nice 75 degrees. I brought my sensible shoes.

Sun's up. It's spring. I've got 8 sales identified. Granted I'll have to go 17 miles West to Edina, and then backtrack 30 miles to the northeast in White Bear Lake, stopping here . . .

Janie was able to come along on the yard sale run last Saturday. We managed 3 stops on a semi-wintery spring day, and had some luck and a few yuks.

Perhaps you wonder what it is Janie and I do with all that stuff we buy at yard sales.

The last two weekends have been very busy. I got out to yard sales of course, and I took lots of pictures, but I hadn't found the time to put together my column. So over the next few weeks . . .

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 . . .
