A trailer full of treasures.

sAugust 15, Oscoda.

Another Saturday, another yard sale day.
We're threatening to turn into the road trailer version of hoarders, if that's possible, with that garage sale thing. But really, we found everything we were looking for and much more (isn't this what they all say?)
To be added to the daily load are a shiny mountain bike (for Castro now, for us in Florida,) folding chairs for the trailer patio (today was the make-or-break date for finding them, after that I was going to buy them new, so long have we looked for them all over the country, literally,) Airstream Christmas lights for the trailer kitchen decor (they will complement nicely the flamingo lights, adding a touch of trailer class,) a kids' camping tent, a complete and gender-neutral birthday party decoration kit, a roll of screen mesh, still sealed (some would call that the buy of the day; I'm partial to the utterly useless Airstream lights,) electric wire (another men's favorite; they are so practical in their shopping habits,) various tools (ditto,) and other common yard sale fare like used books and new crayons.
Our trailer is really a Russian doll. You fill a cabinet and there's always another.
