I saw the Garage Sale sign on Pioneer Road; just around the corner from the house we’ll soon move into. I turned onto a very long driveway; between a corn field and a bean field, over water filled pot holes, including a ninety degree right hand turn, and a ninety degree left hand turn — finally up to a metal pole building with large sliding doors. Just inside that huge doorway sat a dirt encrusted Cadillac Escalade. “How much for the Escalade?” I asked. “$10 includes a charger and a dead battery.” came Bob’s response. “I’ll take it.” It needed a new battery — $70. Some new wheels — $80. And a whole lot of tender loving cleaning by Nanna Anna. That was one happy 3 year old, Jace, the birthday guy, when he finally took the wheel of that Escalade, with a brunette riding shot gun — just like dad.
I do love to rummage through garage sales.
The rest of the birthday photographs can be seen here.
