Gallivanting Day

We had quite the morning. First we drove down to Snellman Junk to see what was new, found a few things but apparently they aren't going to stay there. We enjoyed stopping in there, she was always friendly and they have a good selection of "high values".

After that, we stopped at a Moving Sale and then the area Fun Fly. We enjoy watching the rc planes flying and the fliers usually take the time to answer questions - I nice bunch of folks. This year we noticed a young boy flying his plane with his father close by, he did a great job.



We talked to the man that owns the plane in the top photo, it's not a cheap hobby - $10,000 worth right there. Too rich for my blood but we enjoy stopping in to watch and support the group.

Thrifting

Today was just alot of working so I am going to blog about last Friday instead. We took off around 11 and stopped at one of our favorite places for lunch - Bullwinkles in Nevis, It was awesome as usual. Then we drove on to Akeley to do some thrifting. Thrifting is what I consider recycling for a good cause. The people at the Akeley ARCC (aka the Akeley Mall) have a big job keeping track of all their donations and they are always there to greet the public with a helping hand and a smile. While driving through on one of our prior trips I noticed a sign painted on one of the old buildings on "Main Street" in Akeley, I got a chuckle out of it so I felt the need to snap a picture of it.


Since it was wintertime we didn't consider the idea of actually dancing but someday we just might!
