Hi everyone. We are still staying very busy. Rather than one long rambling post, I did a few different ones today.
Every year, we have wanted to attend the Kingswood rummages to see what all the fuss is about. Every year, I find out about them at the last minute and don't get a chance to go. This year, I did my research and found out when they were in advance. I took Thursday, the 24th off so we could go. Lucky me, the day we picked to go, there was a monsoon. We went anyway.
The morning started off well, but after an hour or so, it unleashed. We were about 6 blocks from my jeep and decided to run for it. Unfortunately, I got stuck at a busy intersection and the motorists did not feel sorry for me. The just kept on speeding by, splashing up water all the way. By the time I finally made it back to the jeep, it was to late. I looked like I had just jumped into a swimming pool.
Rather than let it dampen our spirits, we headed to Walmart for some dry clothes, umbrella's & poncho's. After we found the much need gear, we headed back out. This time, only our calves and feet got wet. Al and I compared it to playing in the rain like we did when we were kids. Because of the rain, we did not hit nearly as many sales as we would have liked to. I didn't find a single thing for myself. But despite all of that, we had a blast. I can't wait to do it again next year.

rain after all that snow - lucky you!
Glad to hear you had fun! That's all that matters right :)! I didn't make it to the Kingswood rummages this year (the weather had a lot to do with that). Maybe next year I'll go..time will tell!
Haa! I can just see you guys running down the street!
It is a good time.. Despite the weather, it was still enjoyable.
I am glad you still had fun.
I have never been to them before. I might get to them some year.....but then again I am really not a rummage shopper. I like having them but that is about it.
I am not big into rummage sales either. I don't have the patience to look through stuff. Kind of like sale racks at stores. Yeah, I am not patient enough to do that either.
Glad you had fun!! Sorry you got drenched.
Sounds like a lot of fun to me, actually!
