The Longest Yard Sale is one of the things that we look forward to every summer.  I can't believe this is our third time of spending the day jumping in and out of the explorer all day.  This year, we decided to start where we left off in the last two years, in Dogtown, Alabama.  There is a huge mansion where they must have acres and acres for their front yard.  People rent spaces to sell their " junk" there.  It's nice because there are so many booths you can walk around under the trees and spend time looking at everything.  When we decided to head for home,after spending the day of seeing miles and miles of " junk"  we just turned around and went backwards to our favorite places from the last two years.  We really didn't buy very much.  In fact, I think we spent under $20 the whole day.  I had packed a picnic lunch and we ate in the explorer, sitting under the shade trees in Dogtown.   I found eight thimbles for my collection for only ten cents each.  A couple of booths down were some of the same thimbles and the guy wanted $3 each....ha.  I think my thimbles were the deal of the day.  I also got a cast iron fancy muffin tin for $8.  Found two plates with blue tea pots on them.  I had a set of them a long time ago but had given them to Gene.  Now I have two more and I'm not sure if I will keep them or they will go to Gene also.  They were only $1.50 each.  It was a fun day and I'm sure we will pack our lunch and head out to spend the day of jumping in and out of the explorer again come this time next year.  The Largest Yard Sale is one of our favorite events around here.
