Sale day @ Carefree

What a nice day, the highest I saw was 75F/24C. Big park wide yard sale today in Carefree Manor. This is common down here, a park organizes and everyone who has anything to sell puts it out. There were people crawling all over the park & deals to be had everywhere. You name it, it was here. Marg sold our old vacuum cleaner, well Sue did. They had a sale at their lot and Marg left her old vac there. I think she got $10 for it, but I suspect spent more than that on other stuff. Oh, I bought some pocket books as well, I think about 7 or 8 for less than $2. Marg also worked the bake sale for a 2 hour shift. In the hall they had half a dozen vendors, a bake sale & a cafeteria & a raffle. Marg had donated brownies to the bake sale & they were all gone early. We had lunch there, sloppy joes and apple pie. Remember the sloppy joes Marg helped make yesterday! Lots of bargain hunters stop in there for coffee & pie or lunch. One of the hall vendors was a tour operator and we are seriously looking at a bus tour that goes to the grand canyon. These park-wide yard sales are quite a phenomenon, you really have to see it to believe it. Everyone looking for deals, Ron had some items for $2 & people wanted to negotiate for less. There were so many bargain hunters in the park you could hardly get around. Friday & Saturday they are all over the place down here. After lunch Marg visited around the park and I played some pool. Then we had to find an Avenue store, it was out in Mesa at Indian School Road, thats' quite a ways, almost to Tempe. She found a couple great tops there and that completed the shopping day. By then it was too late to cook, so out for dinner.
