Today it was $7 total.  Nothing much of nothing, but I 
did score a Bob Cousy autograph.  (NBA old school player)
I found a small box of first day covers, stamp collecting 
stuff, and some from the Basketball Hall of Fame were in 
there.  Signed.  Dunno as it's worth much, but it's worth 
more than I paid.

They were going to put $500 on it and probably take the 
first $300 that walked in the door.

My two fall into the Picky category.  Or Cat-egory to be 
precise.

Alas. Gluten free stuff nearing its pull date ends up 
there, and today I found some "limited edition" cupcake 
mixes for my niece to play with at 3 for $1.  Original 
price about $2.59.

More the other way around.

Or ugly in this case. The only area for a reception is in 
the basement, and the ceiling is too low for the size of 
the room.  No matter what you do, it can't look really 
good.

I think the kids may be starting to teach themselves out 
of desperation.(LOL)

And a few flakes here yesterday.  Ugh.  Nothing stuck, 
but it was rain that wasn't starting out that way.
