Slow Morning...50º

Saturday of the "Estate Sale" was slow...Not sure why except there were no other yard sales in the Wallowa Area and with gas prices at $4.25 a gallon people just don't drive the distance when yard sales are in their own backyard...We left Amy at about noon and headed home...It is a big weekend in Joseph with a car show and quilt show in progress...Lots of yard sale signs along the way...Neither of us were interested in stopping as our brains couldn't even think about looking at other peoples stuff!

Amy's sale did well on Friday and we hope Saturday afternoon picked up a bit as people were out hunting for that last "real deal"...At home I simply vegged, sitting on the deck, reading, staring into space...Bobi had text me about mid morning that Ci's Dragon Boat team came in second in the first race but internet was spotty for them so didn't get any more messages...They were spending the night in a motel downtown Portland so they would't have to fight traffic for this mornings race.

Herb's birthday package came in yesterdays mail and he waited to open it until this morning... He is the proud recipient of not only the hardest pair of socks, Bobi has ever knit, but also a new pair of slippers to keep his feet toasty warm this winter...What a thoughtful and precious daughter she is...This puts the pressure on me to get busy making a special pie or dessert for Herb to go with a steak and shrimp for his birthday dinner....Hugs To All....OVAW:)
