Sailing

We decided last night to go out this morning, some light yard sailing, maybe go into an Open House. So little to do for free, in the cool of the day, in this town. So D did a little research yesterday, and we had a list. At the first one, we got to meet a very large, orange cat, who came up to me and mewed to be petted. Woman whose cat it was warned us he'd been aggressive, to the point of biting her, probably because of the stress of the move. I added that he seemed to be walking stiffly, so there may be a pain issue as well. Cat came up to me and rubbed against my legs later. We also got a very pretty, very low centered, pottery oil lamp. And a small, well polished fossil specimen.

At the second, D found an old school friend. She has been dealing with long term health problems, and we wished her well. Not that wishing anyone well works, but it's nice to hear. And we picked up a game. I'd also been thinking about getting new prayer flags, and I found some there.

After actually buying stuff (which was never the intention) we made one final stop, which we could not resist because of this ad.

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY AND INVITE EACH OF YOU TO A LAWN AND GARAGE SALE YOU WILL NOT FORGET. FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS, WE WILL BE SELLING EXOTIC AND UNIQUE, FURNISHING, GIFTWARE AND THINGS FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE. BRASSWARE, COPPERWARE, PORCELAIN, WOONDEN CARVINGS, ARTWORK, GIFTS AND MUCH MORE. FOR MORE INFORMATION:... OR COME VISIT US AT (...) YOU WILL BE LITERALLY BLOWN AWAY AT THE BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE THINGS FOR SALE. SEE YOU THERE.

D imagined him shouting all of this in all caps. Mostly, it was a local import store disguised as a yard sale, full price for everything, but it was all pretty. Nothing tempting. Guy was not a native English speaker, which might go a ways to explain the ad. Although not Literally blown away, thankfully, we did get to meet a very nice little Jack Russell terrier.

Reminded me of this goggie


Photos to be added later. Have to pet the cat right now.
