A Productive Saturday

[Aragorn243]

Broke a ton of Yard Sale rules today. Was lazy, didn't leave the house until 9:30. Just drove around without any newpaper, etc. Went back to yesterdays community sales to see if any new people set up for Saturday and found that hardly anyone from yesterday set up. Went to a Church rummage sale which are generally complete busts, this one was and then just took off in a random direction. Spotted a tiny sign that said yard sale but at 20 mph that's all it said. Came on a second, figured I must be going the right direction, then a third but still can't read any of them. After a mile, I decided to turn around and head to an antique mall instead but something said keep going so I turned back onto the path. 3 miles no signs, then spotted another one, stopped and read this one to find out the address and the road was only a quarter mile further. Took off down this road for a mile and found the sale. Nothing but crap. Younger woman with her young daughter playing cards. Just before I left, I had actually turned and went toward my truck I turned around and ask if she had any military items. She said yes, she just got something yesterday and put is somewhere. Had to search to find it. I see a plastic bag with what looked like ARMY showing through and I figure it's a sweatshirt. She pulls out a WWII era Welcome Home banner that's 3'x3'. She said she didn't know anything about it and I didn't either, I asked her how much and she said how about $5. Now I really don't know anything about these but figured that was a good price. No holes or tears, pad printing is a little faded but all in all very nice. It's all wrinkled up so I need to figure out how to flatten it without messing it up. So that's my story, added an old US ARMY armored car, Tootsietoy I think and a metal WWI toy soldier that I paid 25 cents and $1 for respectively. So kind of a weird haul this weekend.
