Supper at Ma-T's

Last weekend Emily kept Kelly & Karen's children so they could have a weekend date. Emily & the kids came over for supper Saturday night and we had red beans and rice and fried chicken. They had to eat in the family room because the dining room table is full of stuff from Dan's mom's house. I think they enjoyed eating at a table by themselves. They got very talkative and giggly as you can see. In a few years they will probably hate me for putting this on the web.

Emily was keeping Steve's & Amanda's girls this weekend and they came over for supper Saturday night. We had meatballs in brown gravy. They all like rice and gravy and ate well.

They love to play dress up with all the costumes I get at garage sales. Here is a video of them all playing together. Excuse the messy house, Dan's mom's stuff hasn't found a home yet. The laundry also needs to be done...but fun things first!

Hwy 127 Yard Sale

My husband and I decided on Wednesday to leave Thursday after work and go to the Worlds Longest Yard Sale. It goes from Alabama to Ohio and is held the 1st Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday in August each year. We got to the the sale on Friday a little after noon and shopped till about 4:00 that day and shopped Sat & Sun all day. The areas close to the little towns were usually busy with many vendors in one area. There were antiques and lots of tools and yes....even some junk. Most vendors were willing to haggle. Dan got a 40 gal black cast iron jambalaya pot for $135. He was happy about that.

I bought lots of little sewing supplies and buttons and a couple of washboards to hang in my laundry room.
After the yard sale ended on Sunday we continued north to Shipshewana, an Amish community in northern Indiana. I had a good time there shopping and Dan squeezed in a float trip and a little fishing. There was a huge flea market on Tuesday and I spent way too much money. We headed home Wednesday and stopped at another Amish community in Nappanee Indiana where we toured an old Amish house and farm. It was a busy trip, but I had a great time. I might go back again next year.
