Sale-ing and Sailing

Saturday morning in Washington we kicked of the day with garage saleing with Grandma. I thought Laura was good. This was because I had never seen her Grandma going at it! She is the Queen of finding and getting a good bargain! I am pleased I was able to learn from the master.

Among my finds was a crock pot I got for $5, a pitcher set with 8 mugs for $2.50, 12 glasses for $1, an IKEA table lazy susan for $0.40, and Mr. Wonderful himself for $0.25. (He came a lot cheaper than I had anticipated. ;) )

Later that day we got to go out sailing with Laura's cousin, Elisa, and her husband, Jeremy. What a hoot!

(It appears that Laura, unlike me, didn't get sick when she looked up at the sails.)

"The wind is coming from that direction." ;D

Popping up through the hatch!

My (chaco tanned) feet hanging over.

(I've tried so diligently to get those feet of mine tanned with those lines all summer. And that's all I've got. Pathetic.)

Oh, that looks like fun! And to me your feet look tan and I can definitely see lines.

You found Mr Wonderful at a garage sale and you didn't say anything? Be careful though, he sounds like he didn't cost much and my mamma always told me...you get what you pay for!

Yeah I have to agree with Amanda, its sad that Mr. Wonderful cost less than everything else. You are so brave to go sailing I am too big of a fraidy cat when it comes to being on the water lately. Looks like lots 'o' fun.
