Saturday

It was a typical Saturday here today. Except that the annual Lakewood garage sale was going on today. Lakewood is a nice neighborhood area and every year they have a weekend that is for garage sales. Lots of people in the area participate. We rode our bikes, which is much easier to get around than with a car, because there are lots of cars! There were probably 30-40 garage sales or more. Some people would just set out a table with stuff on it because they knew there would be a lot of people coming by. Some people had few items laying out on the lawn. Most had more.

Besides the usual clothes, books, baby items and toys, we noticed lots of printers (many which happen to be just like one of ours), small box t.v.'s (as opposed to the flat t.v.'s that are so popular today or the hand held kind) and microwaves. Frank happened to be looking for one of those small t.v.'s to use in the garage and for real time video at his rocket launches (geek!). He had the bargain of the day finding one color working t.v. which was made in 1990 (not too old) for $3. Despite all the stuff, I didn't buy anything (that's good). Frank had to go back for the t.v. later since we were on our bikes. That's one way to limit shopping, usually.

Here is another "rebel who doesn't follow the instructions" piece I did. I used the same background and same motifs as with the previous one, but with printed paper instead of solids. I call it Crossroads and it has little bits of a cut up map on it.
