650 miles of sales

 This was the scene at one of thousands (?) of garage sales last weekend

along 650 miles of Route 127 extending from Michigan through Alabama.

We only visited a few miles of it.  At this stage of my life,

I found it overwhelming!

 Now, we already had three other metal cabinets

serving a variety of purposes (the one above, a broom closet).

However, we couldn't pass up one more (below) -- a $5 purchase.

It wants a new paint job, but maybe you can overlook the splotches

to see its charm...

 Before it could be painted, it was pressed into temporary duty - 

serving as a gathering place at church for donations of snacks and beverages

for our local Christian Youth Center.

It will come home next month for restoration and eventual service--SOMEwhere.
