School Sale
Tom and I arrived at the school sale around 8:30 AM. Breakfast items were on the tables, ready for you to choose. Wonderful donuts (bought a whole dozen for Tom’s parents), and sausage or gravy biscuits, coffee or your choice of drinks!
There were a lot of baked goods available, but you could see lots of them already being taken out the door. Some people must already know that you must come early to get a good choice. There has been a saying – You snooze – you loose!
The sale always begins with the school children singing a few songs and then prayer. The auctioneer keeps the sale moving fairly fast, and you must get your bid in or it is SOLD!
Tom saw the playhouse next to the tent, and played in it for an hour or more. He came to me, “May I please have a snowcone?” He chose the orange flavor, eating some, go play, and then do it again!
We ate lunch with Merle and some friends before going home to the air conditioner and a nap! It was over 100!
I was ready to return Tom to his parents at 3 PM, when he announced that he wanted to spend the night at our place! He had to ask permission, and stayed with us through Sunday afternoon late.
When we went to Abbeville to meet someone about the scrapbook I am doing, and Merle invited Jacob’s to come eat supper with us. Tom thought he had it made when he got to see our grandson. We had a nice time, but we were all ready to get to bed. (Our grandson caught his first fish that evening!)

I’ve heard about ya’lls school sale for years and I’m glad I got to see pictures from it! And those donuts… you can’t beat homemade donuts! I saw Jeff’s uncle Harold in one of those pictures. It looks like he was having a good time. He loves auctions!
Looks like you had fun. Donuts, yummy!
Where do you guys live?. I was thinking Meigs , but knew their sale was a couple weeks ago. Then I remembered it was Dorothy who lives there.
That playhouse drew a lot of childrens attention.
I love school sales and auctions. To bad we don’t live closer. It sounds like you had a great time with your sisters. It seems like the older we are the harder it is to get together. We live closer to Mary Lou now, and we’ve been to Harrisonburg twice and they’ve been here twice since we moved.
