127 Yard Sale

As you can tell by the SUV that was stopped in front of us....everyone was ready to find treasures.

The weather was perfect lower 80's and low humidity... which is very unusual for this time of year. We saw three barns displaying quilt blocks.

I plan to start an album of the barn displays.....

This year the yard sales I went to and have gone to in the past did not seem to have as many treasures...in the past the route we normally take would be a two day trip...seemed as though a lot of out -of- state ventors did not travel as far away from home due to the gas prices.

In the past vehicles (ours included) would be sooooo packed with treasures they only had leg room...but this year I did not see one vehicle loaded to that capacity.

Today I work at a little general store for a friend so I must wait until tomorrow to show you what treasures I picked up..

World's Longest Yard Sale

Copied this picture from a google search.
The annual 127 yard sale begins today and goes through Sunday. It is the World's Longest Yard Sale...over 600 miles... Mom and I have been going for several years and I am soooooooo looking forward to Saturday. I live appoximately 30 minutes from the 127 HWY and you see license plates from alot of different states. People are pulling U-Hauls, driving recreational vehicles, tying things on top of their cars, and inside of the vehicle is only leg room:O). We only travel approx. 25 miles of it, not stopping at all of them, and it takes a good 8 - 9 hours. I will take pics and show you Monday.

Mom, DD Jessica, and I are making a run to Tenn. today 3 1/2 hr drive so my DD can meet with her adviser and register for classes.
Have A Great Day!
Blessings,
Kathy
