BB: Never made it to the Lake. The skies are overcast and the crazy weather man keeps reporting STORMS coming. I just don't want to be out on the water with that kind of forecast.

When we first got married we drove 1.5 hrs to a fellow workers wedding. It was Baptist. The entire ceremony took 12 mins tops. At the reception in the church annex, we got a plastic cup of punch (no booze of course) a piece of cake and that was it. We ended up going to a DRIVE-IN movie that was on that side of town. Never went to another Baptist wedding! Ha Ha.


Went to the Shredding at the township. OH MY GOODNESS. I was there later in the morning and there was a STEADY STREAM of cars dropping off Electronics and then further up the parking lot they had the huge truck that was taking your stuff out of your trunk and shredding it.  Amazing teamwork.

The Electronic area was unbelievable. SEMI-TRAILERS being loaded with Hi-Low trucks full of palettes of computers, TV's, screens, you name it it was carefully piled on the wood palettes and shrink wrapped and then loaded on the Semi-Trailers. Had I know you could bring Electronics I could have brought some old computers and screens from the basement. NEXT TIME!  I'm still amazed at the steady flow of cars dropping things off.


Went to a different farmer close by the house and bought more corn, tomatoes, med hot peppers, zucchini and a head of lettuce. Prices were the same as yesterdays farm. 

On the way to my car I got to say hello to a choir member! How neat. She's our secretary.  


On the way home I stopped at a Estate Sale. Huge house owned by a oriental doctor. Had tons of machines all over the place and basement. Some looked like Frankenstein type electric machines with lots of cords. Scary. The lady must have been very petite. And she bought at least 20 Madame Alexander dolls that were still in the boxes. I still have my M.A. doll. She had really expensive clothes. Size 6 or smaller.  :wink2:  Really nice china too. My friend at church has the same set from 50 years ago. Royal Daulton - Ansley pattern. 


Then I stopped at a Condo right by our subdivision and went through that to be nosey. HUGE basement stocked to the ceiling with Kick-Knacks. Boxes for everything. Must have been a real QVC fan. Condo was painted with DARK dreary colors. Always wondered what those looked like inside. Now I know.


I'm off to the kitchen to make a Salsa from all the goodies I bought. And will try and find my Zucchini bread recipe and make it later tonight. 1st one of the year!  

Love all the fresh veggies, but they all come on so fast that you can't eat them quick enough.


Okay, I'm out of here.


Bill did you start packing yet for your cruise. Don't forget the SPEEDO! Those use to be big in Aruba! :emoticon 0102 bigsmile:
