WORLD'S LONGEST YARD SALE

AUNT JANELLE WAS ONE OF A TON OF PEOPLE HAVING A YARD SALE THIS YEAR.

THE FURNITURE STORE EVEN GOT THE YARD SALE BUG.

THIS IS A SMALL TOWN WITH A 4-WAY STOP AT THE INTERSECTION. THAT'S A LOT OF CARS IN FRONT OF US, AND BEHIND US.

PEOPLE RENT OUT THEIR YARDS TO VENDER'S.

THE YARD SALE ROUTE STARTS IN GADSDEN AL. AND ENDS IN DEFIANCE, OHIO, THAT'S 630 MILES OF BARGAINS. IT STARTS ON THURSDAY AND ENDS ON SUNDAY. 30,000 PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO TRAVEL THROUGH DEKALB COUNTY THIS YEAR. SINCE I LIVE ON THE ROUTE I'D LIKE TO SAY HEY TO EVERYONE BE SAFE AND ENJOY.

NEW PATTERN

THIS IS THE FIRST ONE I MADE, IT'S FOR A LITTLE BOY. YOU CAN'T TELL BUT IT'S A PALE YELLOW.

THESE TWO ARE FOR LITTLE GIRLS, SAME COLOR. I DID DO THE SLEEVES DIFFERENT, I REALLY LIKED IT BETTER. I LOVE THIS PATTERN. AS ALWAYS THESE WILL GO TO EGF. GO HERE TO GET THE PATTERN.

FREE MATERIAL

MY SISTER-IN-LAW PATSY FOUND THIS MATERIAL FOR FREE AT THE HWY.11 YARD SALE, IT'S A YARD SALE HELD EVERY YEAR. THE LADY HAD MORE BUT IT WAS TO FAR TO GO BACK THE NEXT DAY TO GET IT. I'M JUST GLAD TO HAVE THIS MUCH. THE MATERIAL IN THE TOP PICTURE WILL BE USED TO MAKE BURIAL GOWNS.
THIS MATERIAL IS IN THE WASHER NOW.
COCOA HAD TO HAVE A SMELL.



I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS MATERIAL YET. I THINK SOME OF IT WILL BE USED FOR COOL TIES WHEN I GET TO WHERE I CAN MAKE THEM.I THINK THE BROWN AND TAN COLORS WILL WORK FOR THE TIES.

FISHING PICTURES

TIM AND UNCLE CHARLES SHOWING OFF THEIR CATFISH.

I'M NOT SURE WHICH FISH WEIGHTED WHAT IN THE PICTURES.

I JUST KNOW THEY HAD A GREAT TIME.

SOCK KNITTING MACHINE

HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE SOCK HATS DANA MADE.

THIS IS THE MACHINE THAT MADE THE SOCKS.

THIS IS A SOCK THAT IS GOING IN THE GARBAGE. THE COTTON YARN BROKE WHICH LEFT THE SOCK USELESS.

DANA CUTS THE SOCK OFF BELOW THE CUFF, SEWS IT TOGETHER, PULLS THE THREAD UP TIGHT AND TIES IT OFF. SHE HAS SOMEONE AT ANOTHER MILL THAT DYES THEM FOR HER. SHE WASHES THEM AND TURNS THE CUFF DOWN.

DANA'S HUSBAND TOLD ME TODAY HE WOULD SAVE THE SOCKS FOR ANYONE THAT WANTED TO MAKE HATS OUT OF THEM, I'LL MAIL THEM TO YOU. I THINK YOU COULD BUY SOME DYE AND DYE THE HATS YOURSELF.

OUR FISHING TRIP

THIS IS THE FIRST FISH WE CAUGHT TODAY, 20 POUNDS.
THE LAST FISH WAS 10 POUNDS.


MY TWO GREAT NEPHEWS GAGE AND RYDER HAD A BALL FISHING TODAY. THE YOUNGEST ONE LEARNED TO BAIT HIS HOOK LIKE HIS BIG BROTHER. WE WERE NOODLE FISHING ON THE TENNESSEE RIVER. WE CAUGHT BREAM AND USED THEM AS BAIT FOR THE NOODLES. MY JOB WAS TO CUT BAIT TODAY. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW TOOK TWO AUNTS, TWO GRANDSONS, SON, HIS WIFE AND ME FISHING TODAY. HIS WIFE AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO WORK. WE HAD A GREAT TIME ANYWAY.
