YADA YADA

The past few days have been pretty routine around here, and as a result, not much to write about. We did make a quick trip to Sam's Club in Bullhead City on Monday, and I've always got little projects going on around the house, but nothing to get really excited about.

Last week, we got into the garage sale thing, finding a few treasures for cheap. This week, starting yesterday, we continued in our quest for that perfect find, not really even knowing what it might be. Yea, there are a few things that I'm looking for, like some heavy bookends for all of my train books, but it's mostly one of those - "I'll know it when I see it".

Our local weekly White Sheet with all of the ads, comes out on Tuesday, and the photos show a map of the city, with locations for all of the garage sales. The ones highlighted in blue were yesterday, and we made our way to all 12 of them. Today is an orange day, with a total of 22 locations. What in the world did we ever do without G.P.S.?

As holidays go, today isn't one of the most celebrated, but in my mind, it's one of the most important. Veteran's day here in Lake Havasu is a big deal, with a parade this morning, and a closure of Main Street with all kinds of festivities. It shouldn't matter what your personal, political, or other beliefs are. Everyone should be thankful that we live in a country where freedom really means something. No, it's not a perfect world, but the sacrifices of all who have worn a uniform also means something, particularly those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Today is a day for remembering, and giving thanks to the millions of Vets who have served their country.
