Garage sale was a bust for us--sold an amazing $31.25. Amber made about $270.00, but she sold some furniture and a set of golf clubs. She had priced the golf clubs at $50, but a neighbour came over and suggested she price them at $90. They sold for $80. A friend of Amber's was there to help, and had a ball. She brought a very nice potato salad for lunch, so I felt obligated to head out and get some cold cuts. Jessica went with me, to the grocery store, and told me that she always rode in the car cart. You know the grocery cart with a car in front for children to sit in. She thoroughly enjoyed herself, but when we got home Amber said that she never lets it happen because it's too hard to manouver. Can't say that I had any problem.
Then in the afternoon I was at the Museum for Doors Open Winnipeg. We headed out our usual way only to discover that Main St was closed just south of Disraeli. Detours every which way. What a mess! It turns out that there was an open air performance, in front of City Hall, of the play "Strike!" about the 1919 Winnipeg Strike. Since the worst of the strike actually took place in the same location it was a neat concept--but not if you're trying to drive through it!
We were both exhausted after supper, but determined to stay awake, and ended up watching infomercials, just because we liked the music. Up early and off on our bikes. When we got home we put up the picnic table--remember the one Dad made. Now David is talking about heading down to Chippawa for Doors Open Winnipeg. I think he can go alone--I need a break.
