Yard sales: why didn't somebody tell me?
Just got back from the Lake in time for supper. The campers at the campsite...the creative committee consisting of campground campers, including mullet-headed Mike, decided to rent some property in greater downtown Gimli (home of the Islendagdigagurin festival!)...won't read that in your FMCA brochure!...to have a 'yard-sale'. Well we participated and sold a bunch of junk but it just so happens that there also is a bunch of junk to buy. You'll never guess what happened. No, we made money...about 20 smackers...after expenses ie: coffee crisp, coffee, diet pepsi and a 5 buck table rental. But if you factor in all the things we needed to buy like a lamp fixture for the trailer and a lamp fixture for home, a wine chiller, a dragon key chain, some toys for Jack's kids and some other stuff, then we might havelost a bit o'cash. They should call it a "look what I got..what you got?" sale. Anyhow it was fun, especially for Suzie. She was meetin' n greetin' all morning.
We had to come back tonight (Sat.) because a couple we know is celbrating their 25th wedding anniversary tomorrow. Jim and Debbie. I was best man.
My bud, Paul got the word that he has to have by-pass surgery. He spent last weekend in the hospital. Chin, chin paul!
Thanks to brother Gary for the fine article on Winnipeg from the FMCA mag. I was quite delighted to read it and it gave me some ideas as to what to do with Jack and the boys when they come next week......NEXT WEEK! EGADS, GADZOOKS, we must get ready, they'll be here Thursday.
Well, better go, its almost 8 bells and 'Big Brother' is on TV.
