Garage Sales

Suddenly, it's summer--sweltering hot and sticky, too hot to do anything outside after noon.  Nevertheless, Kate and I had ourselves a super cool morning garage sale-ing.  We came home with bags of Christmas ornaments for the kids, plants, pots, old-fashioned glasses with watermelons on them and a few more red plates to smash--when it gets cooler.  This is a dusk project for sure.

Kate got the plum pickings--a tiara from a wonderful African-American woman named Verna who loved Kate.  "That woman makes me laugh every time she opens her mouth," she said.  At the next stop, we both loved a pair of bright red high heeled shoes, our size, but I don't wear closed-toe shoes, so Kate was the lucky buyer.

We had seafood enchiladas at Lisa's and then I came home and napped, then went grocery shopping.  The main topic of conversation in grocery stores (and everywhere else) is the heat--as if we're all surprised when it arrives in its full glory.
