Ah, its the event I wait for every spring...the last weekend in May....the almost every family on Gilmour street for the entire length of the block all drags their treasures and junk out to the front yard for one massive yard sale!

I awoke at an ungodly hour of the morning, showered, grabbed my biggest "purse" and headed out with pockets of change.

The weather was fantastic! It was probably the best turnout in years. It seemed every second house was involved, and it has spread to neighboring streets. It took about 3 hours of "power shopping" to cover the entire length of Gilmour and Homewood.

So what did I buy? I bought an armful of beautiful wools from europe, a pattern book, some "old fashioned" clothes pins, a huge bag of wooden beads, a really neat box with drawers that has photo album sleeves inside, two cat harnesses, and two really awesome wooden chairs. Len bought a few magazines and a Stephen King book. We also bought a crib for only $10!! Its clean, has a mattress and is safe for our new baby! Thank goodness we had my mother-in-laws car!

What a day! What a haul! I can't wait for next year!
