It's Saleing Season.

Last Saturday was one of the days I bring home "a lot of treasure".  Timmothy wrote this strip over a month ago, far ahead of my junk buying binge, but it was right on the mark for my past Saturday.

Each year Minot's UCC church hosts a rummage sale to support our local chapter of the Boy Scouts of America.

I don't know where this small church gets all the rummage every year but looking at the picture above imagine three rows of rummage (treasures) extending across the picture stacked chest high and you will have a good idea of what they had.

Just a few of the treasures I brought home were a nice guitar amp, two easels for the art gallery, an sun tent in an unopened box, and more. I could have easily loaded up my cargo trailer had I not restrained myself. All for a "free will" offering.

Maybe I will see you there next year?

Good afternoon Bob. Kudos to you for restraint at a rummage sale. Was restraint on your mind when you took the cargo trailer? Just asking. Enjoy your day.

Actually I didn't take the cargo trailer Wayne Martin . For two years it's been stuffed with a friends belongings who keeps promising "I'm going to get my own place soon".

Funny I purposely do not go to sales like this because I would just load up and Diane would freak out:)Endre

Good morning, Bob... I vaguely remember my church holding rummage sales back in the 1950's. But I've never been to one. (Or to a yard sale or garage sale.)

Fortunately for me Endre Barath, Jr. Carol likes to rummage sale as well. It's a form of entertainment for us plus we were both babies of our families and used to hand-me-downs so we see it as treasure hunting as well.

It's a form of entertainment for me Nina Hollander, Broker . I'm not into movies or much of any popular form of entertainment, even dining out is a bore to me but the thrill of finding a bargain is great entertainment to me.

Bob "RealMan" Timm hi Bob... as you know, I'm from NY City, so it's totally against my religion to pay full price. I'm all about the hunt for the right price for something.

I have to much stuff as well Roy Kelley but that has never stopped me before from continuing to shop. Bargain hunting is our form of entertainment.

Hello Bob,  I know I have to much in the basement that I got from garage sales.  This was a good cause to buy, Boy scouts need it.

The generosity of those who gave the items was amazing to me Will Hamm and I hope the buyers were very generous as well. I was a Cub Scout but that is as far as I got.

Thank you Myrl Jeffcoat . I hope that some day someone in the publishing business will spot it, like it, and help Timmothy get it out there.
