I purposely slept in today. I have to pick up Ellen a midnight tonight. After pet stuff and breakfast The dog and I left to go to estate sales. That's right, estate sales on Wednesday.
The first one was at the Y. It was an older house. I scored a few small items - a pegboard screwdriver holder, a small level, and a couple of chisels - $3.
I took a short detour to the post office and then went to the second sale on Trautwein. It was the estate of this rich grandson of a Texas governor. The place was a sprawling 1 story. I stared in the garage and bought a few items - some mending straps, a 100' tape measure, and a pair of lighthouse salt and peper shakers. I know we've already bought Patty some, but these look nice. The total cost was $7.
The rest of the house didn't have anything that interested me. There were at least 6 rooms filled with books. All total their must have been thousands in the estate. I don't need books.
Dola was painting when I got home. I put my purchases in the garage and then had lunch. After that I surfed the rest of the afternoon away. At 4 I did my exercises and put away the stuff I had purchased. Then I took the dog to the mailbox.
Dinner was a fish burger and salad again. That's the last of the fish burgers for awhile. After dinner I surfed and watched a little TV killing time for Ellen to come in. Her plane was really late leaving Portland. I'm not sure she'll make the connection in Dallas.
