Hi Ruth,

 RH> > Sometimes yard sales can be like that too. Just depends on who's
 RH> selling what.

 RH> I got a pile today at one sale for free, but spent $2 on a kid's toy
 RH> that probably wasn't worth it.

Sounds like you did well. A few weeks ago we were at a sale where Steve
scored a creeper, something else (forget what). The creeper was worth
the sale. I found a bracelet I'll re-do as a necklace--like the stones
but prefer necklaces to bracelets.

 RH> >  RH> How about Lidl? They seem to have moved in.

 RH> > Got one just down the road from us, not even a mile.

 RH> I don't have one yet, but one of these centuries maybe.

Give them time, they may show up eventually. Overall, Aldi is better but
you can find some surprise buys at Lidl.

 RH> blame.

 RH> >  RH> > Don't know, never saw much of him.

 RH> >  RH> Dirty Dancing?

 RH> > I know that one but have only seen a few clips of it, probably not
 RH> even 5 minute's worth.

 RH> I've seen it once or twice.  Patrick did his own dancing in what may
 RH> have been his own jeans.  His mom was a dance instructor.  Despite
 RH> the name it was a pretty clean movie.

IIRC, it came out when we didn't have much money for extras like movies.
Would have had to pay a babysitter on top of the movie price, etc and
from the clips I saw, it just wasn't the kind of movie we would have
enjoyed anyway. OTOH, I did convice Steve to take me to GWTW a couple of
months after we got married.

 RH> > Come down for the picnic and you can pick some up for yourself.
 Melons may be gone then but the bread will still be around, as well as
 other goodies.

 RH> These days, 20 to 30 miles is about as far as I get unfortunately.

 RH> Well, if you change your mind, the picnic is the last week end in
 September.

 RH> It isn't likely, unfortunately.

 RH> > Sigh!

 RH> Right now the only place I'm going is back to the dentist on Monday.
 RH> Follow-up for pulling the tooth that broke.

No fun--back to soft foods for a while?

... I am positive that a definite maybe is probably in order.
