Hwy 141 Garage Sale -First weekend each August

$358

Today Karla, Butch and I went on the Highway 141 garage sale looking for treasures. We did not plan to buy anything but we all know how that goes! The biggest coup of the day was the Weber grill pictured above. Of course, that is merely a picture of it and not the one we purchased. I had to come home and check it out to see just how much of a bargain we snagged when we paid $20! That is right, folks we paid $20 for a grill with cart and all it needed was some cleaning.

Butch is already hard at work on it. He says he doesn't think it was used more than a time or two.

I purchased an ear of corn. Everybody needs another lawn ornament, don't you think?

I didn't get pictures of Karla's finds but she bought a small table perfect for a plant stand on her deck and a small music box for a dollar that was pure nostalgia because she had one like it as a child. We ate at Tojos in Jamaica for lunch. Took a short side trip through tiny Herndon IA where my Mom and Karla's grandmother grew up. My maternal grandfather was a barber in Cooper and Herndon IA. It was a hub for two rail lines and today is a hub for two branches of bike trails over those same rail lines.
I almost forgot one of Karla's buys was a bar she can use in the future so it is easier to get her bike on a rack she will have on her car. She paid $1.50  for it. and they can cost as much as $50! It was a day filled with fun.
