JUST in case one of  you wonders how  I spent the Saturday afternoon before my birthday party\u2026.take a look below.<\/p>\n
Marjorie was busy  cooking and  packing for my 890th birthday  party on Sunday Oct. 1, 2018\u2026I did not know that. She<\/div>\n
seemed  glad  to get me  out of  the house.  Strange.  She usually comes  along.<\/div>\n
Boring?  Not to me.  Riveting  in my opinion.  You  might wonder what I bought<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
-rope bed<\/div>\n
-corn cutting box, primitive<\/div>\n
-draughting table<\/div>\n
-pot bellied stove<\/div>\n
-crocks and  bottles<\/div>\n
-ladders<\/div>\n
-chains<\/div>\n
-folk art horse and driver<\/div>\n
-12\u2019 solid oak distressed plank<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cDamn fool,\u201d my Dad would have said\u2026 yet he would  have  joined me loading  the junk in the truck with joy.  <\/div>\n
On one occasion he loaded my junk and saw  there was room for more so began stuffing other people\u2019s things<\/div>\n
in the truck.  \u201cHey there, that is  mine\u2026\u201d   \u201cWhat the hell do you want that junk for\u2026I was doing you a  favour\u2026only<\/div>\n
a  damn fool  would buy this crap.\u201d  Dad, was always  good  for some tension everywhere  he went.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
At this sale I had<\/div>\n
two loaders  with the same blood line.  See if you can  find them.  (Andry and  Jack)<\/div>\n
