Auction Time

We have always planned to furnish our home with things from auctions. It has been our experience that buying furniture is the same or worse than buying cars. When you buy it the value drops significantly once you plant your butt on it and claim it as your own. So yesterday we went to Guthrie Center to an auction where we planned to buy a round oak pedestal table and chairs. And we did for $240. ( I tell you that because I use this blog as a reference point many times to review the past.)
Here is a picture taken at the auction shortly after our purchase and an unknown lady has perched her hiney on the edge of OUR table.

We were lucky as this auction was indoors. We plan to go to another today and it is outdoors. We will need to plan for rain...raincoats, umbrellas etc.

Below are a few pictures from the last week that I haven't had time to post.

Once in a while Butch and I will go for a walk. And we have been walking over the new overpass hoping to catch a picture as a train is approaching. So far our timing has been off

Jefferson's water tower located in northwest part of town.

Looking south while at the peak of the overpass.

My sister Theresa's art work displayed at the Jefferson Museum during Bell Tower Festival. The festival this year was a sad deal due to rain, rain and threat of rain. We missed it because of an auction.

Spotted these iris as we were walking home one day.
